There really should be a way to connect to voice chat and talk without having to run DCS and connect to a server. I very often will do ATC/C2 things in multiplayer servers without using the F10 map therefore not even running DCS. Since I don't run DCS while doing this, SRS is the only option for voice communication. I know this is a big thing a few multiplayer servers are waiting on before they make the swap from SRS.

so, any hope for this?

Wake turbulence in multiplayer seems to almost have a multiplier effect on wake turbulence. Fairly regularly causing very exaggerated pitch roll and yaw moments, usually during takeoff and landing. I'm including two track files, the first being single player, the second multiplayer. The 3rd lap in the pattern on "Wake turbulence MP" is a pretty common occurrence and is very extreme for same aircraft wake turbulence. Wake tubulance.trk Wake tubulance MP.trk

Any hope for Currenthill's Patriot pack to be added to the core game? A reliable patriot system in DCS is very much needed.

There should be an option to load a DTC that another player sends to you without going into the user files. It would be nice to have a "Upload multiplayer DTC" and "Load multiplayer DTC" in the DTC menu. This would allow for a flight lead to push COM presets and in the future, lines and other info without having to teach people the file path.

Using the up/down arrows changes the frequency in the opposite direction than expected. Up arrow in the 16 will tune a frequency 0.1 down, in the 18 it will change the frequency by 1.0 down. Pressing down will change the frequency up by the same values

When in the DTC screen in game the FILE button in the top left doesn't look like you can click on it. It would be helpful if it followed the same convention for all other clickable buttons.null

Just FYI, it's the other way around. CAS should be the same across all aircraft because it's corrected for instrument and position errors. IAS is just what is shown to the pilot without any of those errors being fixed. You may notice some aircraft (the viper comes to mind) show a "C" next to the airspeed to show that it's CAS not IAS.

I hate to be that guy but... did you turn it on? It's been working fine for me

Good to see this got fixed!

Contrails do not move with the wind when they are created by an aircraft. When aircraft fly with a crosswind they will always have some amount of "crab" angle to maintain a course, making them appear to fly 'sideways' through the wind. When they create a contrail that contrail is also affected by the wind causing it to appear in a straight line behind the aircraft. Currently in DCS the contrails stay in the same position they were created making the aircraft's crab angle very apparent. I'm including three pictures, what happens in DCS, what happens IRL and a depiction (I'm a great artist I know) of what is happening.

@BIGNEWY While the F16 having an AIM-120C is correct, the post ACS_Dev linked makes a very compelling argument for more versions of the AIM120C to be added. Including the AIM-120C-7

SB stands for Slot Back, which is the radar used by the 29. Why they didn't go with 29 I'm not sure, but that's why it's SB at least.

Contacts can also be triangles. There is a chart showing that two pages up from the picture you took. They denote if a contact is hot or cold.

That would be on the F16 and F18 to more accurately represent jamming not the other way around.

Why would you want to use true instead of magnetic? I'm not saying you shouldn't but magnetic is the standard.

After waking up I've realized the title is DCI... Apologies that should be CDI

In CRS mode the CDI indicates centered when the ground track is the same as the selected course and the heading is pointing at the selected waypoint. To my knowledge this mode should work the same as TCN. F15E CDI.trk

After applying ground power the UFC will turn on with the EXT PWR switch. When you then remove the ground power and switch the EXT PWR switch to off the UFC and the EMD will remain powered on. F15E Magic UFC.trk

Castle switch up long could work

So you can use it with more than two people but if you have 1 person on the low number and 2 on the high number, the person on the low number will only see the distance to the closer high number. I use yardstick all the time with the group I fly with to do "Tacform" it allows us to fly 1 or more miles away from each other in formation to help with mutual support. I wrote a guide on it a little while ago https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AknC14Sz25ZFD70En1WuM7p3FFIHP2rvqIeisFWsslk/edit?usp=sharing The main thing here is if you are on a multiplayer server, don't use anything below 37 and 100, it will mess up the datalink for everyone.

It doesn't mean it has to be off so I think you should be able to switch it "as required" Maybe I want to, maybe it's not realistic. Even if I don't want to and it's not, it doesn't really effect you in anyway so I'm not really sure why you are so against it

Except for the part where the manual tells you to set the TEWS and CMD "as required" in the back seat before start for a solo flight.

I would like to do this because it gets rid of the WSO model. Something just doesn't feel right to me seeing someone else in my plane that isn't actually there. Even if you are going on a solo flight you would go to the back seat and make sure all of the switches are set correctly so I don't see it as being unrealistic.

I would really appreciate the ability to swap to the back seat when the engines are off and the canopy is open to preset some switches before flying with solo flight selected.
