Will we see any tutorial videos prior to release day?

I’m wondering what MFD subpages and avionics systems will be available at launch. Thanks

Just wondering if we will get a tutorial series for the Chinook prior to the release? Thanks

I'm relearning the F-14A after having not flown it in years. after several sorties I started questioning the accuracy of the gun sight. I have attached a tacview file of a 1.v.2 against a pair of F-4's. The first one I was able to kill easily with a couple of snap shots. I ended up in a turning fight with the second one and all the rounds fell short. I would love to know if this is a characteristic or a bug. Any and all feed back is appreciated.Tacview-20240619-183646-DCS-RedFlag_Development_vA2A_TRAINER.zip.acmi

Dynamic ATC -- Dynamic ATC for Nellis AFB. No pre scripted responses for Ground, Tower, Departure, NATCF. AI_Wingman -- Completely new AI wingmen. They do everything the in game wingman does and has a lot more functionality. Interactive Range controller (BLACKJACK) and (SHOWTIME) Simulated HAVEQUICK system. -- simulates a secure comms system for DCS world. New Dynamic JTAC system -- Replaces the in game JTAC (Wags) and Adds more functionality. AFAC and Artillery observation for Helo's. -- Player can interact with AI Aircraft and Artillery battery to direct fires. All the systems are based off of NATOPS manuals and official documentation, it's as authentic I as I can make it for DCS. Plenty more...... As all ways, the Devil is in the details. So far there's over 2000 sound files and many, many thousands of lines of code. So far I have added the F/A-18C, F-16C & AV8B. I'm relearning the F-14 to see if Jester will interact with the JTAC. Think of it more as a tech demo than a campaign.

I have updated the first mission to include the F-15E and F-4E. You can download it from the link below. I will update all the missions in the campaign, but that will take some time. If anyone does fly the mission, your feedback would be greatly appreciated. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3312386/

Working on a complete campaign overhaul. Its taking longer than expected, so I will update the original campaign to include the F-4E.

This looks awesome. Thanks for your work.

Thanks Flappie. yes the eye chip is what I alt tabbed to disable. (Eye tracking for crystal) I’ll try the solutions you provided. thanks

This is an odd problem that has been happening for a while. Flying in vr, if I Alt-tab back to the desktop. then back to DCS, I loose controller inputs in the sim. everything is still working normally, its like the input commands are not being sent to the correct application. Its been an issue for me for at least a couple of years, I just avoid changing windows when flying VR. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there are any possible solutions. This is not module or terrain specific. on the log provided. it was a free flight on kola with no other units, scripts etc. I lost all buttons on hotas controls, axis commands working ok. voice attack commands not working, keyboard inputs not working. Fresh DCS install, no mods, lots of winwing controllers, voice attack, Pimax crystal. dcs.log

Hello. I have made an AI JTAC using Lua scripts. It all works great and adds a lot of functionality over the in game JTAC(Wags). I am trying to get targets loaded into the CAS page with as much automation as possible. The JTAC creates a mark point on the F-10 Map named "#TP1" but this cannot be loaded into the CAS page. if the player creates a mark point on the F-10 Map named "#TP1", this can be loaded into the CAS page. Just wondering if it is possible to load a mark point added via scripts?

May I ask approximately how many gigabytes the Afghanistan map will be at EA release? I may need to get a new SSD.

Great to see another Maple flag campaign. I have enjoyed them all immensely and I am sure this one will not disappoint.

Hello Flyingcoffin. You can download the latest version from the link below. I have updated it for compatibility with DCS 2.9 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313504/ Unzip the folder and add it to USERNAME\SavedGames\DCS World\Missions\Campaigns. It will then be available in the campaigns list under MyCampaigns

Deleted App data folder and ran the same mission 3 times. On each attempt, certain controls became unresponsive. This is not as dramatic as falling through the floor but does illustrate the desync issue. As an example, the APU switch became unresponsive to mouse clicks and key bindings. The switch animation did not occur but the Click noise from the switch could be heard. on 2 out of 3 attempts, I lost all axis commands, so L&R throttles and stick would not respond in the sim. I opened the Controls menu, and all Axis commands registered normally in the controls menu. I replayed all 3 tracks and the desync does not occur in the tracks. I honestly would not bother pursuing this, but its been going on for over 2 years and would be good to nail down what's going wrong. Next, I will record the flight on OBS so you can see what's happening as it doesn't seem apparent in the track files. Track 1.trk Track 2.trk Track 3.trk

Since my previous post, I did a slow repair and made sure their was nothing in the SavedGames folder that shouldn't be there. I was able to reproduce the issue on first attempt. Client aircraft fell through floor of Nellis air force during cold start. Attempted to Save Track file, an error message Popped up saying it could not recover file from appdata, or something to that effect. I have attached, the logfile and TACVIEW file that shows player aircraft at -10,000 feet. I am going to delete the appdata folder and try again.

This concern had become far less frequent over the 2 years since this post was first published. However, from time to time it would randomly occur. However since 2.9 dropped, I am noticing it frequently now. While cold starting an aircraft, controls become unresponsive. On one occasion, Players aircraft fell through the earths crust and plummeted downwards. While Taxiing to runway, aircraft controls became unresponsive and aircraft slowly levitated off the ground. This issue only occurs when running Lua scripts (That I am Aware of). I ran the same mission and removed the lua scripts and their were no abnormalities. Some instability is expected when a huge update like 2.9 is released. I will post tracks as they become available.

I noticed the new F-15E AI is unable to attack targets with Laser Guided weapons. All dumb bombs seem to work ok. Attached is a Miz file that demonstrates the problem F-15E_TEST.miz

AI SA342M Gazelle unable to engage with hot3 missiles. all other helo's tested can engage targets with ATGM's. SA342M TEST MISSION.miz AI SA342-Minigun unable to engage target with minigun, It makes gun runs on the target head on, but the Gunner never engages. SA342-Minigun TEST MISSION.miz

Thanks, I'll try it with Hyperthreading enabled.

I have had Hyperthreading turned off for as long as I can remember. Just wondering what the general consensus is regarding Hyperthreading On vs Off. Thanks

The AIRBASE name is the ships UNIT name from the mission editor. i.e A2ADispatcher:SetSquadron( "KUZNETSOV", "KUZNETSOV_01", REDFOR_NAVAL_A2A_DSIPATCHER_TEMPLATE, 6 )

Hello, I would like to request a new Callsign be added for aircraft groups --CYLON-- It was used by RedAir in numerous REDFLAG exercises circa 2002 to 2006. Also its just cool. I have attached a recording from a red flag exercise, the Cylon callsign can be heard around the 4 minute mark onwards. So Say We All 316p209052002am.ogg

My 2 cents: 1: Miltech5 BO-105 2: Polychop OH-58D 3: Urga media Afghanistan Map 4: (asset pack, god I hope it’s an asset pack)
