    Do you have any of the extraneous nVidia software installed or anything similar that can be set to take screenshots?
  2. Ironhand
    Which is exactly what I told Mike_CK. You can’t just dump the files into a Mod folder. You need to use JSGME or something similar to place them in main DCS directory. Either that or place them there manually.

    It has to replace core files. So a MOD folder doesn't work.

    Just installed this and WOW!!! Pure delight.

    Just want to note that ALT-ENTER is a Windows thing not specific to DCS: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/alt-enter-switches-between-window-and-full-screen-d1b23daa-644d-3fbf-2f5e-c2c779584db5#:~:text=When you run an application,is displayed in full screen. So, whether by accident or design, DCS no longer allows the Windows convention.

    Esac_mirmidon is the person to ask. He’s translated that part of the manual. I haven’t done that yet. But I do know you won’t find previous and next buttons for the waypoints. There will most likely be several buttons—not certain how many—with programmed waypoints, should you need to manually select one.

    Amen to that. Took it for a quick spin this morning. Pure joy to fly.

    Thank you!

    So how in hell do you get access to this thing? The discord invite on the first page has expired and I can't find them thru discord.

    Last time I looked there were 50+ missions listed for the Su-27. I imagine you’ll find at least a few to your liking.

    IIRC, the the former acts like a parking brake and locks the breaks in the “on” position. The latter simply applies the brakes when used.

    Not familiar with the VIRPIL but using an image Esac_mirmidon posted eons ago…

    Neither is an F-15C vs an A-10A or Su-25. So I’m not quite sure what your point was.

    How about 95 km in the sim? If the brief lock hadn’t broken, I had launch authorization at just inside 95 km. I couldn’t relock and launch until just above 80, though you can see RMax-1 remains at 95:

    From the DCS main menu, select REPLAY. Navigate to the track’s location (if necessary), select it, and click OK. Play it as far as you want and press the ESC key on your keyboard and proceed as you did when you first saved the track.
  17. Ironhand
    Yes and no. It depends on what you want to do. TRK files start at the beginning and only play forward. So you can, for instance, shorten a TRK to only show the beginning by playing it back, stopping it where you want, and saving the shortened TRK. If you wanted to only show something in the middle or at the end, however, you’re SOL. ….

    Most of it, I imagine. The environment is the same—atmosphere, clouds, terrain, sea, AI. The aircraft will be different at first but, once they start converting DCS aircraft to MAC, much of that will be shared as well. DCS and MAC are modules that plug into their Simulation Operating System, as will future products.

    There was only one salvo mode—all of the selected weapon. So there was no “which” mode to indicate. But they did remove the salvo indication at some point and it would be nice to have it back. Some of us can’t remember whether or not we turned it off after using it. It’s very disconcerting to salvo your bombs only to have all of your R-27s leave the rails at once, when you launch against a closing hostile aircraft as you come off target.

    It's a solution but might not be a solution for DCS World. What's described in the interview doesn't sound much like DCS World: It really feels like they plan is to keep the two separate. But that's just my take on it. I'm guessing that MAC will even have its own separate Forum because it is being viewed as its own animal.
  21. Ironhand
    He can join a server but will only be able to fly aircraft he owns. So with DCS World only, he’ll have the Su-25T and TF-51D, the two free aircraft, available to fly.

    Only marketing? How about an expanded player base? For people not interested in a study sim, MAC will provide the long absent opportunity to enjoy a serious combat aviation sim with numerous aircraft to fly. It should also improve the overall online player base as well, though possibly not the DCS base itself. My impression is that MAC will have its own dedicated servers.

    From Matt’s interview in P C Pilot, Issue #119: MAC is its own animal. The assumption is that, unless you are an FC3 fan in DCS, you will not be investing in it. It’s being released with more maps than FC was as it is. With the SOS, any map will work with either product and future products as well. That was the plan at the time of the interview, anyway.

    I think they just took some shortcuts with the mesh. Unless you were flying low and slow, you’d never notice it.
