So nowhere does it say that it is currently in early access, which is what I thought.

Ok, I’ll bite. Where do they state that it is currently early access?

A better implementation for an FC aircraft would be to simply model the button as “engaged”.

And, once it’s released, there will be a DCS software update that you will need to install before it will show up in your module manager.

True. And I have no problem with the current system’s function now (in Eagle’s view) being primarily for debugging. It just annoys me that they make it sound as if that’s all it ever was and that it was just a happy accident that simmers found a different use for it.

That, unfortunately, doesn’t explain why it was first used to deliver the tutorials that shipped with the sim.

I’d pay the current prices for maps, if it were both updated and expanded in any direction.

Basically, it was designed to randomly generate moving weather on the map. Toss in some numbers and, then, hit “generate” until you get something you like and save it. It was not designed to give you precise control over anything. If you know what you’re doing and edit the generated weather file itself, you could gain that control. But that took a lot of work. At one point, I was able to generate some spread sheets (this was many years ago) that made it much easier to get what you wanted, where you wanted it. Unfortunately, they no longer seem valid. I might take another look at some point. Has dynamic weather started generating clouds again? For awhile, it was just generating wind patterns. EDIT: Just checked. Clouds are generated but it now takes much more wind differential between the zones than it used to.

You’re not tripping. Something has changed. Even flaps employment is smoother than it had been.

I understand English just fine. What it actually said is “Coming in 2024, Iraq and joining RedFor in full fidelity, Fulcrum-A.” Just saw BIGNEWY’s post. Hopefully some news soon.

I suspect that he, like most people with the 2024 expectation, is taking his cue from the Coming to DCS in 2024 video. In the last few minutes, it states “Coming to DCS in 2024” and shows the Afghanistan map and the MiG-29.

FWIW, the Russian SK manual that’s floating around refers to that line as “Time, remaining until missile meets the target.”

Still better than the full price of $59.99

Don’t you just hate when the world changes, while you weren’t looking? Since the advent of FC4, FC3 (in a sense) no longer exists. Both FC3 and FC4 aircraft are now listed individually rather than as a bundle.

Ctrl+F11 assuming your view is behind the weapon.

That is one sweet photo.

The Mercury pod was revised to reflect what it actually does, light amplification. It had been modeled as an IR pod. Now you need moonlight and, especially a full moon, to see much of anything.

That’s because it was being modeled as IR rather than low light amplification.

I find that a best practice is to rename a folder/file first, if I have any concerns about it. I only delete it, if everything remains as expected after doing that.

Excellent. Enjoy!

Last question first. No need to add them to the following WPs. Want them to be more aggressive? Set yourself (or your flight) as their target.

As already explained, if you check the amount to be downloaded, it gets smaller each time you restart the download. It’s just starting the present download at “0” and counting from there. I need to restart multiple times every update. If you watch it as it starts, it’ll check to see how much is downloaded, check for files that have been downloaded and are no longer needed, then start the download from there.

Ahh…. Good thought. Yes, I’m planning to do a fresh Win 11 install instead of an upgrade from Win 10.

Yes, sort of strange. Quite a bit of the instrumentation looks like the -25T pit.

Thanks, folks, for the input. Yes, I’ll be copying DCS to a new PCIe drive later. @Slippa Thanks for mentioning that. I was actually aware of that possible issue and how to handle it. Forgot to mention it. It’d be a PITA to have to redo every binding.
