Is the Afghanistan Map expected to be released this year?
-
Which developer is making the Afghanistan Map? It was mentioned in the last two "Beyond" videos, however, I don't see a forum set up for this map.

I am also having stuttering and fps issues with the latest DCS 2.9 version. Is there a way to use the single thread version in 2.9 or do I have to roll back to 2.8?
I was unable to locate a ST.exe. Is the DCS.exe in 2.9 Single Thread?
Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10850K CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3600 Mhz, 10 Core(s), 20 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 128 GB
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Driver 546.33

I am still having the issues I mentioned above. As shown in my screen shot I do not have Force Feedback enabled. Can someone please look at my track and give me some feedback?
I have Virpil CM3 Throttle and the Virpil APC Stick. I zeroed out the dead zones present in the Virpil Configuration Tool.
Thanks!
-
Yes I did.
-
I am having the same issues. After pressing and holding the force trim button and releasing it after stabilizing the helicopter in pitch and roll, it will pitch up. Also, after stabilizing the helicopter and tapping the force trim button it will oscillate in pitch. Screenshots and track are attached.

What is the significance of the Preset 1, Preset 2, etc... Unit ID and Call Signs in the mission editor?
In Wags' datalink setup video he has Preset 1 as GUNSLGR which he refers to as Battalion, and Preset 2 as HAMMER.. It appears that these names are not actually associated with any Apache flights in Wags' video, so they are just random names.
Can we put the names of actual Apache flights that are in the mission in the Preset fields or should we just use random names? ( I am only single-player )
-
What I have found so far is that you have to go into the mission editor and make all of the flights have the same com frequency.
For example: Chaos Flight = 127.50 and Sioux Flight = 127.50. Then once in the Apache in-game go to the COM page and make sure VHF has 127.50 and L1 (Wags shows how to do this in his FARM video). I know others have mentioned this, but I wasn't sure what they meant exactly.
Anyway this worked for me and I was able to get PP (Present Position) reports from my AI wingman in Single Player. No other reports or messages are available from AI wingman at this time as far as I can tell.
-
I am still having difficulty getting a response from my wingman over datalink. Here is a short track, in case anyone has time to check it out and offer assistance.

Please attach a track (.trk), and the mission (.miz) file if able, so we can review it.
Thank you, however it looks like @Mange solved it. I had to use capital letters such as CHAOS for Unit ID and CHAS for Call Sign when naming the COM Presets in the Mission Editor

@Mange Can you please provide some more detail on this? In the mission editor both groups (Chaos and Crow) are on 225.00. In the datalink coms in-game UHF is selected and 225.00 is the frequency, however, I still don't receive a reply although I am not getting an error message anymore.
-
As shown in the screenshot, the unit names are not showing up correctly on the Com page in the Apache. They should show up in game as Saber and Crow.
-
Can one of the developers please confirm if the new datalink messaging system is available in single player, or only multiplayer. I am trying to get it to work in single player and have followed Wags' videos, however I constantly get the XMIT NAK UHF message. Also, what are the limitations of the datalink system.....line of sight, distance, etc...?

@flag02004 @razo+r thanks for the assistance, appreciate it.

I am trying to get 3 red aircraft groups to activate and take off after bombs enter a zone. The red aircraft groups are set to late activation. However, the way I have set it up is not working. Any ideas on how I can correct this?

I spent some time this morning flying the Caucasus map trying to make the Alt hold not work.
Constantly changing modes, eventually the Alt hold wouldn't hold. Diving would come up to level, but climbing wouldn't come down to level, but I didn't know how I achieved it.
There was always a slight climb. Turns out that Alt hold and Alt select were both on and I didn't have enough power on to increase the climb rate and so didn't recognize it.
Turn off Alt select, (I've never used it before) and it immediately jumped to level.
Might not be your problem, but I learnt something from it.
..
When climbing using ALT Select I increase thrust and maintain an airspeed above the required speed, when descending I reduce thrust and maintain an airspeed below the required speed. As others have said, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Difficult to figure out why. Hopefully Notso can confirm whether or not this is still a work in progress.
-
What I have found so far is that Altitude Hold and Altitude Select in climbs and descents works when flying a mission that starts in the air. When flying a custom mission with a "take off from parking hot" start, the Altitude modes don't work correctly; and yes I am flying the aircraft to the altitude I want and trimming to hold level flight before engaging the autopilot.
I will test a mission starting from "take off from ramp" (cold start) to see if that makes a difference.

You can watch the video, but for basic alt hold it's a 2 button press. Here's what I do.
Press A on keyboard or UFC AP button. This will give pitch hold and heading if you are below 7 deg bank. Then press UFC Alt hold. This will level to maintain current alt.
If over 7 deg, this will give Attitude hold.
I will post a track if you still have trouble.
Press button A at start, then alt hold, the NAV then, steering.
All subsequent alterations are button "A".F15 CBU 97 SA 10 3l.trk
..
Thanks guys for the help. I do know how to operate the autopilot and have read the manual. However, the Altitude functions do no work consistently. I will check out your track.

My AP holds attitude, Altitude, Heading, and Steerpoints, from 80' to 30000' without problems and has done since day 1.
..
Can you please post a short track of how you engage and use the autopilot? I can't get Altitude Hold or Altitude Select to maintain altitude.

Set your parking brake before starting GC Alignment.

What years was this aircraft F-15E 4+ in service? What aircraft serial number was modeled for this first release by Razbam?
I searched the manual and forum, but no luck.
-
Well as we can see from the picture of the flaps, the physical position seems to be beyond 21 degrees. I understand that the manual says 21 degrees. Maybe the flap animation is off in the game.
-
When using keyboard commands or my HOTAS to lower flaps to the full down position, the flap indicator gauge only shows flaps at approximately 20 degrees.
I have checked my control mapping and there are no duplicates or issues that I can see.
Has anyone else noticed this?
-
@imacken"You will have to define axis to buttons for this. I do the same. See the attached for how mine are set up. You then have to add logical buttons to these in the button tab."
That worked perfectly. Thanks for the help!

It means that you have duplicate key mappings. Check the UI Settings and Modules.
