Jackal-01

i've been playing dcs for several thousand hours. since 1.5.0 infact i dont comment on here much because its most of the time a toxic pit of arguments the I'm right you're wrong fact checking mentality. much rather fly and enjoy my time with people who actually play the game instead of sitting in forums. your gamer statement is honestly rather ignorant, cause either 1 you clearly dont play the sim or listen to what others have to say, or two you never owned a vr headset. either way you look at it, spotting used to be impossible pre lighting engine fix. at the end of the day this sim is also just a game.. i dont expect to be able to see things very well past 10nm, but i do expect to be able to see things that resemble a plane or tank. irl i can spot planes way high up with relative ease as long as im looking in the right places. i expect to be able to do the same thing here. which the latest update allows me to do so. reverting to a even more broken version of the sim would be a bad idea.

so essentially OP wants us to go back to not being able to spot jack, Which isn't realistic. Not saying that the way it is now is realistic either but it's FAR better than not being able to see anything at all regardless of time of day. I think this sits in the " unpopular opinion's " department if I can be fairly honest. unless ED figures out a way to smart scale objects I'm completely okay with the turn of events.

Honestly all I can really ask for is for more VR coverage in terms of updates till we get this supposed end all be all fix known as vulkan. VR updates have been either pushed under the rug it seems and it's unfortunate. VR is so unoptimized to the point where it doesn't matter what graphics settings are used, the results are mostly the same.

yeah my bad, new to the forum. whoops lol:megalol:

Vulkan??? Honestly all I can really ask for is for more VR coverage in terms of updates till we get this supposed end all be all fix known as vulkan.

Does anybody know if there are video tutorials/series covering the beginners guide to dcs plane modding? :helpsmilie:

I would like to but, I do not have the knowledge on how to do so. I'm no modeler or skin maker. But seeing as nobody else has considered making the adf-01 as a free mod I would like to step in. So, What does it take? and what programs / tools do i need to make this possible?:joystick: any advice will be appreciated! thanks :thumbup:

Just noticed that Zorgs su-30sm flaps do not articulate when rolling left/right. is there going to be an update to the control surfaces? I would love to help but I know absolutely nothing about coding or animating. I hate to be the one asking for this kinda stuff.

disclaimer: I'm not super savvy when it comes to file / asset manipulation.. So, I got this to work, but the problem im facing now is the planes nose gear digging into the ground and the Over wing vaps gone. decided to return to the original su-30 file and now I'm trying to give the su-30 the flight model of the 33's since its super stable; Compared to the su-27/mig29, it doesn't need all that much trim to stay true. Any ideas on how i can swap flight models? Should I just transfer all the necessary files over to the 33?

By doing this, does it give the su-30 the su-33's control scheme? like acs refueling mode ( level flight ) and its flight physics? Does the model for the su-30 AC7 replace cockpit textures or is it just the model?

yeah, but skatezilla seems to be pretty active with other authors. can you blame him? I've seen his named tossed around in the credits of some mods. Dont know skate very well. but most popular mod authors do. Life is also a factor. while i would love a full fledged proper su-30 mod we arent paying these guys anything for the work they put out. the best we can do is wait.

could you please explain this better? what do i have to change and how?:huh:

Voltrock which su-30 mod have you been using? does it function properly or are there game breaking bugs and or minor issues?

what do you guys think so far? Still WIP but im hoping to release soon.

I just want to fly my planes and do missions at a framerate higher than 45. Wish the ED team best of luck getting the optimization sorted!
