That would be true, I think.

You know, it almost looks like some sort of mounting bracket. Piece of detailed debris from new damage modeling?

From the manual pg 53: And that’s how it used to be. If it’s changed, then that’s a problem and you should report it as a bug as well as the range launch issues for each missile. You’ll need to provide a short track file for each issue. EDIT: I haven’t looked into it myself but I suspect that the launch range is most probably limited by the seeker rather than the rocket motor. Something to consider, if you decide to report the bug.

The thing to do would be to provide a short track file of the misbehavior and provide that along with documentation of how it should behave. Without that, I doubt anything will be done.

If you study this mod, I imagine you'll find the answer to your question: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3325726/

One thing is certain. There is no possibility of a dynamic campaign until the AI undergoes some serious repair.

The constellations are there but, no, they are not right for the date. IIRC, they are right for mid-June (you can only see Orion setting around sunset in the sim during the sim’s deep winter months)—for the northern hemisphere skies at least. At least that was the case the last time I looked. I’ve never checked the S Atlantic map to see what’s there. Don’t think the planets are anywhere to be seen. You could check, I suppose: https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-march-24-april-2/

Here are the existing maps from earlier in this topic: The 3 upcoming maps that I’m aware of: Sinai: 1500,000 sq km of which 490,000 is high detail Kola: 550,000 sq km Top End Australia: 1120,000 sq km

It's been ages since I've been in the A-10A pit for anything other than free flight. That being said, the manual hasn't been updated since 2013. So I'm not sure what changes have been made or bugs introduced over the years. The manual's range statements used to be correct. As far as "Is there any indication anywhere (which I'm not seeing), that tells you that the target is in range and can be shot? Stationary and more importantly moving targets?" is concerned, the pointing cross on the TVM would start flashing when you were within firing parameters. Hopefully that's still the case.

I’ve noticed several oddities in recent online videos that have made me wonder what I was seeing. They seem to be some weird artifacts of some sort.

Unfortunately, it’s nothing I’ve noticed on my end.

Ahhh…the good old days.

I like that it’s being flagged as a trojan but, when you research it, there is no description of what it does anywhere to be found on the various virus scan platforms.

Did you install the OB (Open Beta) or Release version? MT is only available with the OB version for the present. If you reinstalled the OB version, then I'm out of ideas.

Start DCS. On the main menu at the top is a box with numerous squares. That’s the module manager. Click it and hopefully you’ll see the F-15 there ready for installation.

You mean it’s not available in the Module Manager for you to install?

The switch isn’t animated but the commands do work.

Since it’s an aircraft, you’d expect it to be where the rest of the aircraft are discussed. So it stands to reason that people think that this is the place is for both. I discovered the -25T and the TF-51T dedicated forums quite by accident myself.

If you haven’t already, it’s probably time for a slow repair as MadKreator suggests. Prior to doing it, though, I’d rename the file you downloaded in the hope that the repair would generate a new “pristine” file for you.

Not sure why that file, of all things, would be hidden but… I don’t know how Win11 is set up but, if it’s anything like Win10, just set it to show hidden and system files. This might help: https://pureinfotech.com/show-hidden-files-windows-11-file-explorer/

That’s interesting. I have it and I don’t even know what you folks are talking about. So it should be there as part of the original installation.

??? The forum in which we are now conversing is for the Su-25(A). Even though the Su25T is listed as an FC3 aircraft on the DCS website, it has its own dedicated forum under the DCS World 2.8 heading (instead of here) due to its inclusion in the DCS World download. Of course, the distinction is lost on a lot of people and both aircraft often end up being discussed here.

Yes, she’s a rocket but, if you follow the manual, you shouldn’t be blowing tires. I think you’re joking but in case you’re not, during the takeoff run, lift the nose wheel off the runway when your speed reaches 230-250 km/hr and hold your pitch at 8-10*. The main gear should come off the runway by the time your speed reaches 260-280 km/hr—well before any tires blow. Your takeoff run should only be about 600-800 m long.

I know that’s how we refer to them here in the forums but it’s always been my impression that “Grach” was the Russian reference to the Su-25, while “Frogfoot” was the NATO reporting name. The reference applied to both variants. I could be wrong, though. On a slightly different note, as far as the “A” is concerned, that’s always seemed to be a forum convention rather than a real-world designation.
