I tried this workaround today, but it's not working for me. My Object Free Camera is still unable to be moved inside the object I'm set on. Has something changed? Is there a new workaround?

Ahh, makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

This is from the mission where Prince becomes hypoxic and you follow him into Iranian airspace. The clouds are the old build from before the weather overhaul.

It's realistic to show the A2A weapon, not the A2G. If you hover over the special option for the feature I'm talking about a pop up comes up explaining that it's a QOL consession they made for the user because the text in the RIO weapon wheel is small and hard to read.

Off the top of my head there is an option to display the selected A2G weapon in the TID repeater.

Maybe it's shift and mouse scroll wheel. I seem to remember it making a bit of an improvement last time I tested it. It's still very slow, unfortunately. I don't know why HB insists on making us suffer with it. It should be an easy enough QOL improvement. They make QOL concessions in other aspects of the model, but for some reason they take a hard line on the Bingo knob, because apparently it was slow in real life too.

I believe if you hold shift while clicking+dragging it goes faster.

I'm very late to the Raven One campaign and playing through it for the first time. Is it to be expected that some of the missions are on the old cloud system?

Updates for Aug 1st, 2023: -Recruiting for F-15E WSO slots has re-opened. -Recruiting for A-10C II has closed. At the time of this message, we are only recruiting for F-15E WSO, AH-64D, other BluFor support helos, LotATC, and RedFor aircraft, as well as looking for an experienced AV-8B pilot who is interested in starting a Harrier squadron, OR an already established Harrier squadron looking to merge with the 51st VFW. Also, please enjoy our 2023 Elephant Walk:

Thanks, we actually figured out a fix by replacing the smoke texture with something full transparent.

Does anyone know of a way to completely remove all particle effects from DCS? I have a track replay for a cinematic that was spoiled by someone accidentally dumping fuel in the shot, and I'm wondering if there's a way to hack that out of the replay without having to re-film everything. Is there some kind of LUA edit? I don't care if it passes IC, since I'll only use it once to edit a video project.

Hey everyone, The 51st VFW is seeking an experienced AV-8B pilot who is interested in starting up and commanding a Harrier squadron within the 51st Virtual Fighter Wing umbrella, OR an already established AV-8B squadron who is looking for a larger wing to combine and coordinate with. The 51st VFW is a milsim (lite) PVE and PVP modern 4th gen wing. We are primarily American and Canadian, and operate in the evening hours of North American time zones. Our main wing events usually occur on Saturdays at 7:00 pm PST, and can last for 3+ hours including briefing and debriefing. Mid-week events happen at similar times on weekdays. We operate the F/A-18C, F-16C, A-10C II, F-15E, AH-64D, other BluFor support helos, and also have a team of controllers for ATC and GCI. Responsibilities of the new commanding officer will include: -Constructing a digestible 3-5 flight Initial Qualification Training (IQT) syllabus. -Processing Harrier applications, and contacting Harrier recruits to meet with them to see if they are the right fit for the 51st VFW. -Taking recruits on an initial checkride as part of the process of graduating recruits to cadets -Putting cadets through the 3-5 flight syllabus so they can graduate from cadet to a ranked combat-qualified AV-8B pilot of the 51st VFW. -Organizing a mid-week weekly or bi-weekly event for the Harrier squadron for further development and building team chemistry. -Participating in our main wing events with your new squadmates. If you think you are up for the challenge, join the discord at: https://discord.gg/51stvfw and fill out the application in the pinned comments of the General Discussion channel. Or send me a DM through Discord or the ED forums if you have follow up questions before submitting your application.

That's just one problem. Another problem is the BFM standard in the DCS community of using slick jets, and fuel quantity settings with no regard for having to RTB to a potentially distant airbase. It's all a joke until that's addressed, but it never will be because the FBW crowd wants to have their cake and eat it too, without really exploring the nuances of DACT.

Using exploits and cheap tricks in the F-14 was done in real life and are part of the Tomcat's lore/identity. Flaps, emergency swept wings, circuit breakers, and bending avionics all have trade offs and require talent to use properly. I have no sympathy for FBW, slick config, paddle pullers in the DCS community. The immortal pilot, and 20G structural allowance are things that need to be addressed for sure, though. I've also heard there is a bug where if you damage a Tomcat and it appears to be leaking fuel, it won't necessarily be leaking on their side.

Aside from the Display and Autopilot panels..., -The entire ACM panel. -SAS (at least roll SAS). -The Target Designator switch, obviously. -Boost/ATC modes for the engine. -Asymmetric limiter maybe? -Spoiler and anti skid switch. -Fuel probe switch. -Flood lights white and red toggle. -All the Jester hotkeys like TWS, RWS, STT, TID ground and aircraft stabilized, ranges 400-25, etc. -ICS mic hot/cold (if you fly with others). For all radio and TACAN operation, I just use the mouse.

I don't know why. I've heard lots of SMEs on youtube talk about how they pulled breakers to give themselves an edge. I think pulling breakers is part of the spirit and legend/lore of the Tomcat, and I wish HB would lean into that more. I'm sad that we never got a breaker for the main flaps.

Something is either wrong with your throttle or your game. This is with a doomsday loadout, 0x2x6. It took me 300lbs more to climb to angels-35, and I have to burn about 3,800 PPH per engine instead of 3,500 PPH. My throttle is barely any higher than with the 3x2x2 load to hold 0.85 mach at 35,000 feet. Not even close to stalling here. Edited: I originally wrote 0x2x4 loadout, but this climb and cruise was with a 0x2x6 loadout.

I don't have those problems in the B. I can climb from 1000 feet to 35,000 under mil power, only burning a little over 1200 lbs of gas. I was just under 19,000 lbs when I leveled out at 35k. And I could hold a cruise speed of 0.85 Mach at ~55% throttle, 93% RPM, and about 3,500 PPH burn on each engine. That gives me 2.7 hours of cruise time, and more if you consider the fact that the jet gets lighter as it burns fuel. This was with a 3x2x2 loadout. Tacview-20230625-203706-DCS.zip.acmi

There are pilot key binds for TID range. And Jester almost always goes narrow FOV for me.

I agree with the consensus that rudder control above 25 units is lacking. Like Spurts said, you need to cross control it with stick in the opposite direction of the desired roll to get the plane to turn. I'm not sure if this is accurate or not, but it contradicts mission 01 of Speed and Angels which instructs you to max the AOA and "use rudder only for turns". (It's not possible in the current OB to roll the jet this way without some cross control). I believe Paco, a real life SME, advised on the campaign, so that makes me wonder if rudder control should be adjusted.
