Option to hide the stick in the KA50 is a welcomed addition.

Took me a bit of digging. You'll have to edit these two settings and play with the numbers a bit to figure out what works best for your resolution. 1. Open C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Config\View\SnapViewsDefault.lua Look for SnapViews["Ka-50"] [13] = {--default view viewAngle = 89.777542,--FOV [color="Red"]Edit this, I put 120[/color] hAngle = 0.000000, vAngle = -15.592758, x_trans = 0.000000, y_trans = 0.000000, z_trans = 0.000000, rollAngle = 0.000000, }, 2. Open C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Config\View\Server.lua ViewSettings["Ka-50"] = { Cockpit = { [1] = {-- player slot 1 CockpitLocalPoint = {3.188000,0.390000,0.000000}, CameraViewAngleLimits = {20.000000,120.000000}, [color="Red"]Edit this.

What's your total resolution across the 3 monitors?

This latest patch broke the last mission. You and your wingman spawn on top of each other.

I'm by no means an excellent pilot, but I was able to refuel the F16 on my first attempt (also my first attempt at AAR with the boom). I struggle a bit when lining up with the runway after an overhead break, but I have that issue with all aircraft. In all my landings with the F16, I think I bounced once. Strong crosswind landings are another story.

You and your targets are both a bit low. If you repeat this test but at 30,000', you'll get much better range. Another issue is aspect, your targets are basically running away from you, which also lowers the AIM-120C range. If you repeat this with your targets heading towards you, you'll get better range too.

Need more information - your altitude, target altitude, target aspect. These three factors play an important role in missile range. Also, are you using open beta or stable build?

Yeah, there's one hidden AAA unit that you need to kill for the mission, but in the town on the other side, there's another hidden in the woods. You don't need to kill this second one, but if you spend time hunting AAA while waiting for the MI8 to do its thing, this second AAA will only shoot you once you're directly above it. I corrected the two AAA units. You can download the mission and copy it to Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Mods/aircraft/Ka-50/Missions/Campaigns. It'll get overwritten back to the regular version each time DCS is patched though. BS2_C2.miz

You can edit the mission and move that AAA unit out of the woods. I think there’s another AAA unit in some trees on the other side of the hill. I can edit it and send it to you if you need.

This is what I ended up with as an answer last time I tried to figure this out. Apparently not all tankers give a heading through TACAN.

If it was easy, then anyone could do it. Your first smooth approach and landing definitely feel earned.

I was able to engage 4 mig 21s, and got hits on all 4. By the time I launched on the 4th mig, I was nearly merged with the first one. I think this might be because of the target spread and the somewhat short legs of the 120c. I've had more luck with TWS on Jeff, but admittedly it's just because I practiced more in that aircraft. As a side note, I find it interesting that people had smoke coming out of their ears because TWS on the Viper wasn't available on release, but now that it's out, you barely hear anyone talking about it. It's great to have another tool in the toolbox, but it's not like you're going to dominate the skies with it.

I reported it a while ago too, but it got moved to another sub forum. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=251169

I noticed a difference in 1440p ultrawide. The MFDs seemed a little clearer. Hopefully they make this adjustment to the HUD as well.

Agreed. The hornet is really an amazing module, and will only get better as it's completed. The carrier aspect adds a lot more depth and challenge. The F14 is amazing too, but I wouldn't call it a "relaxing" plane to bring into combat. I personally enjoy the extra challenge, especially with the flight model, but it might not be for everyone. The F16 is really special too. I've been spending the bulk of my time in the viper recently. I don't regret buying all 3, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be the hornet.

I don't mind the EA model because I'm quite impatient and I want my shiny new toys asap, but that says more about me than ED. I also like testing for bugs because it forces me to learn each system and figure out if the problem is me or the aircraft. That being said, if the community had to vote between EA or waiting 2-3 more years for a finished module, I wonder what the final tally would be. ED does seem a lot more tolerant recently in regard to discussions on this topic, which is nice. They're a lot more patient with their customers than I am.

Track attached. FCRoff.trk

I searched and couldn't find anything, apologies if this has been reported/addressed. I'm also not sure if this is expected behavior. I locked a friendly tanker to get an idea of direction, and I shut off the FCR once closer in order not to irradiate the crew. I noticed the target "box" remained on the HUD was still displayed, although frozen in its spot, even though the FCR was off.

I apologize for semi-threadjacking - would it be possible to update the current known issues thread with any current known issues?

I'm having the same issue. The game turns black, but I still have control for a few moments (hitting escape bring up a cursor, hitting it again return the regular cursor) This only started happening yesterday, before that, the game would just crash to desktop, especially during missions. I have a regular gtx 1080. I'm going to try playing with the MSI afterburner settings. edit - figured it out, my corsair CPU cooler lost its drivers for some reason, and was sitting at idle. I had to manually update them - now it's back to making my office uncomfortably hot (and DCS stopped crashing)

I don't regret buying it. One of my favorite parts of a new module is learning the startup procedure, radio controls, flight characteristics, and maybe a few basic weapons. The only thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was that the external model, wingflex, and external lights are unfinished. Although had I've known this ahead of time I would have still bought it, it's a big immersion-killer for me.

I'd love to, but it crashes to desktop. Last time it happened I replaced the GBUs with CBU-97s on each wing. I'll have to try again to see if I can replicate it.

Unfortunately this mission keeps crashing for me. Usually a CTD while waiting at waypoint 2.

I've played that mission dozens of time. The dawn setting is really nice. Not complaining, but that mission makes me wish we had external lights.

Wow, I'm embarrassed. Especially since I read that briefing, but I somehow kept thinking it was 305 because of the mission editor settings. Thanks for the help gents.
