Tried to diasable antivirus during validation without positive result. I gave up since. Not gonna waste any more time on trying to fix it. Lost will to continue. It may work with next patch. Until then going to do other pleasant things outside of gaming. Thank you for help anyway, MAXsenna. Much appreciated.

Tomorrow. Can you try to exclude the DCS install folders from your Anti-Virus solution, then verify again, and post your DCS.log from your Saved Games.
Cheers!

Oh,Ok. That sounds good. I will try. No harm in that. Then I will need to learn somehow how to post DCS.log from my saved games, hehe. Wish me luck.

If you right click over DCS in steam and then select properties. In the dialog that appears. select 'Installed Files' on the left and you will see a 'Verify integrity of game files' button
Thank you. I have performed Integrity of game files verification in ,,Installed Files,, several times. Whole game including all DLCs was verified first. Phantom still did not work afterwards. Other modules yes. Then I ran about 5 following verification selecting just base game files and F-4 modules in order to speed-up the process. After every verification I restarted PC and launched DCS game from Steam. Nothing helped. Spent 2 hours on it today and that`s it...... I will try some other day. Don`t want to waste any more time on it this evening.. Maybe after next official patch Phantom will work. Attaching a screenshot after verification. Maybe someone may have idea whether the screenshot is of any help.
The message on picture says that 2 files failed verification and will be reacquired. However this message shows every time....so those files are not getting reacquired. Not sure what to do next.

Rainbowgirl, which lesson did you try?
Was it maybe Lesson 02 - Taxi or Lesson 03 - Takeoff?Yes, exactly these two in training section. In single player- instant action loads as usually, but after clicking on FLY button map and all assests on the map work normally, just Phantom is missing. F1, F2 view....etc don`t teleport me to the plane. I am going to delete the file and download it again. That may help.

Interesting....
Yes, I got my F-4E from Steam and I did see the panel of "Please wait until your aircraft is prepared" and it was closed when it was ready.
Why not try to uninstall from steam and reinstall again?
I will try uninstall and install it again tomorrow. Steam does not show ,,verify DCS files,, option on Steam, as MAXsenna suggested, so uninstall sounds like next logical steps. Thank you.

One needs to link one's Steam account on one's profile in the ED shop. Seems this have worked, or it wouldn't have been available for installation.

Do you know the process step by step? I will give it a try. Never heard of it before so not having idea what steps linking profiles consist of.

Hi! I bought F-4 today on Steam. It is downloaded and installed. Training missions and Instant action in-game do not work. It says: ,, Please wait until your aircraft is prepared,, with a big Phantom picture across the screen. When going to multiplayer servers, I go to SELECT ROLE option and choose F-4 from the aircraft list. The list with highlighted slots appears, but when clicking on pilot position nothing happens. My call name does not appear to the right of the screen. Other modules work as usual. Any idea what it might be and how to fix it? Thank you.

Use the clock in the cockpit to determine when to switch between left and right external tank. For example select left tank and let the engine feed from it for 15 minutes initially. Then select the right external and let the engine feed from it for 30 minutes, then just repeat every 30 mins until they get dry one by one. That`s one way to keep the plane balanced during long distance cruising with minimal use of aileron trim.

I see, in that case why do they announce it so early ?
Not sure why. I asked myself same question years ago. Then.... just stopped asking, hehe. Maybe just to let us know what planes are being worked on so players have general idea what long term plans are. Five years ago I got hyped about Mig 23. Learned the lesson. It`s just better to focus on what is available here and now without trying to see beyond the horizon too much and get frustrated in process.

By the way, any ETA on the Fulcrum ?
Anything between 1-4 years. Best to forget about it for now and just wait until date of release will be announced in the future. It is way too early to get hyped about it. F-4 appeared in 4 Above and beyond videos and Chinook in 2 already...and probably will appear in further 1- 2 before we can fly it. I am not criticizing. That`s just the way it is.

Some non-personal liveries based on historical personal ones would be great (i.e. the liveries with special elements like arrows, slogans or dedications, Guards badges etc., but with customizable numbers and no victory marks). Also, camo variants other than late war grey, like on the pictures below.
And, if fictional liveries are acceptable, some famous or widely used ones from previous plane models (La-5 and 5 FN) would be nice.
First 2 profiles [ green & yellow ] look amazing no matter whether they are real of fictional. Other 3 very nice, too. Pleasant to look at. Not much a fan of animal jaws on planes` noses in general, but that particular skin could have 2 variations with and without jaws.

When will the map be available on Steam?
Sent from my 2107113SG using Tapatalk
Steam requires precise date announced by creators for any product to be for sale. Wait until ED will confirm the date and Steam should list it. Watch latest Casmo`s interview with Matt Wagner from a few days ago. They talk about it.

New engine sound update is impressive. In combination with a fictional livery downloaded from User Files on this website flying Dora feels exciting again.

Hi, how are you checking, are you waiting till the outer tanks are dry, and you have to switch the fuel transfer cock on? And then are you timing the fuel usage based on steady flight?
Hi, Nineline. This week I performed 2 more long distance flights after a long time. Following yours and others` advice, plus studying Chuck`s Flight manual for DCS [ summer 2023 update ].
1. Loaded 100% internal fuel plus 2x 100 galls external tanks.
2. In flight I depleted outer tanks almost dry [ less than 5 galls per tank following Chuck`s Flight manual ].
3. Switched external tanks fuel transfer cock to ON position. Did not switch tank pressurization cock ON as I flew at 6 km altitude. Fuel boiling was not an issue.
4. Outer tanks got sloooowly filled...... peaking at 30 galls per tank.....then staying there for about 5 minutes and then beginning to get depleted all the way to empty. I was able to run on externals duration comparable to only 50 galls per engine which was about 45 mins. 100 gallons per engine would definitely need to last way longer than this at 2400 rpm, 7psi.
5. After dropping externals I switched external tanks fuel transfer cock to close position and continued for the rest of the flight on inner tanks.
This confirms my past concern that there definitely is something going on with 100 gals external fuel tanks. They don`t last 2x as long in flight as 50 galls tanks.

Hi! Found out today that when repairing on Forrestal, Su-33 gets lifted of the deck, but does not move with the ship. If there is another plane in the way, Sukhoi will just crash into. Same happened to one more player flying the plane today on Aerobatics Caucasus multiplayer server.

Issue reported many many times over. I don't know what status this issue has but my bet is on "can not reproduce" state.
Hmmmm, that`s unfortunate. Maybe one day. Still hoping, haha.

Vertical Speed Indicator, Airspeed Indicator and Altimeter continue to freeze at high altitudes during long flights even when Pilot Tube heater and onboard generator are turned ON. Without these vital gauges P-51 can`t be flown in its intended role, which is long distance high altitude escort or just high altitude cruising. Once gauges start to freeze, a pilot is unable to keep the plane is stable level flight. Horizont and clouds [ if there are any ] don`t serve as precise visual point of reference. The plane is then flown on vertical oscillating trajectory wasting kinetic energy which should be invested purely on sustaining achieved speed. Only remedy to frozen gauges is to descent below 2 km altitude...remaining there for 3-5 minutes and then climb back to 6-8 km altitude until gauges start to freeze after 30-60 minutes again. This did not use to be the case in past, thereafter reporting the issue. Thanks.

I raised this issue 3 or 4 years ago either here or on STEAM in section Bugs and Problems.

It actually IS a thing on many airframes. Fuel tanks have a mechanic to handle/compensate for pressure and temperature changes by venting. When your fuel tanks are filled too far (or are constantly re-filled from your external tanks to the point where they just can´t hold any more), some fuel may get "vented" also
I first didn´t realize they simulated this.
Thank you. Will test it one day following your advise.

Out of curiosity: You are draining the outer tanks at least a bit first before switching to external tanks ?
I noticed that when externals are selected too early, their transferring flow into already full outer wing tanks leads to excessive spilling of fuel
Which is kind of a neat feature.
No. Did not know that there could be any excessively spilling fuel. It actually does not make logic as fuel leaks is serious thing which does not sound like a standard allowable operational practice. Not going to argue about it, though, since I am not aircraft engineer.

Could anyone please tell me some hard Data on Power Settings for the Dora for:
Max. Continuous
Combat (X Min.)
Emergency (X Min.)Here in the forum and in manual i found the info that 1.42 ATA and 3000RPM is Max Continuous.
But when I fly like that my engine overheats and breaks after aproximately 45 mins. or so.EDIT: In addition the following quiestion regarding MW50 usage.
Can I leave the MW50 Pump circuit breaker on the right ON at all times and only activate MW50 with the switch on the left side close to throttle or do i have to only turn on the curcuit breaker when I want to use MW50?Thanks!
The reason behind engine overheating might be actual speed you are flying with this settings. At different speeds radiator cools engine with different efficiency. At high speeds cooling is adequate and one does not need to think about max. continuous engine settings and radiators in auto position. If you are constantly maneuvering and keeping the plane at low speeds then auto cooling may not be sufficient. Open radiator more manually. That`s why it is easy to seize Dora`s engine shortly after take off at take off engine settings and radiators left in auto position. Engine simply overheats before you manage to gain decent speed for radiator to become effective. Same applies to climbing.
You can leave MW50 circuit breaker ON in same fashion as when you turn nav. light ON circuit breaker and forget about it for the rest of flight.

Yeah, around 2 hours. It wary also at what altitude you intend to cruise over long distances. If flying over no threat territory then you can achieve a noticeably better endurance at altitudes of over 2 km in helicopters.
