Sometime in the next several days, I’m going to be rebuilding my computer. Everything, except for a few drives and the case will be new. Is there anything special I need to do regarding DCS except to backup the Saved Games folder? One of the drives I’m putting back in is the DCS installation’s drive. You used to need to turn off all the modules. Is that still the case?

So true.

Excellent. Glad you were able to resolve the issue. I saw your initial post but, since I’m clueless at this sort of thing, had nothing to offer.

That’s an FC thing for multi roll aircraft. They will drop all of the same type bomb at one time. Or is what’s happening here different?

The aircraft that require trimming in real life, require it in the sim. Those that don’t, do not. In the FC version, press “7” to select A2G mode. Press “D” to cycle and select weapon of choice. Press “RAlt+Space” to drop.

While, in the sim, every field is a military base, in real life most are either international airports or don’t exist at all. Anapa, for instance, is international. Krymsk is military.

You’re going to do what all FC3 aircraft do. Follow the ADI needles down to the runway.

The frequencies for the PRMG runways on the Caucasus map are marked in blue rather than white. There are six, IIRC. Both directions at Mozdok, and one each at Maykop, Krympsk, and Krasnodar-Central. Draconus’ chart also designates them using blue.

In the top right corner of every post, there are three dots. Click there and select “share”. That’ll give you the link for that exact post. Then bookmark it for yourself.

Have you tried doing a slow repair? Also disable any mods (whether FC3/4 related or not) and see if that makes a difference.

Out of curiosity, what happens, if you press the key used to select boresight a second time? That’s what selects caged/uncaged in the F-15C.

Looking at the LUA files there, I think they define the amount and type of movement you get, when camera jiggle is selected.

Unfortunately, what your video demonstrates is not universally true. Even around airfields, there are places you can do that and places that you can’t. It varies from map to map and airfield to airfield. Some are far more forgiving than others.

Last I knew, the decoupling mod did not actually decouple the winds in the flight, only on the static weather tab. It looked decoupled until you flew the mission and discovered that it wasn’t. Has that changed?

To expand a bit on Volator’s answer, fuel quantity “P” on the left is the total fuel quantity. “T”, on the right, is fuel remaining in the feeder tank. When that starts going down, you’d better be close to home.

How to do it is detailed in the manual. If you don’t know where to find it on your hard drive, there’s a link for it in the thread below this:

Isn’t 157 kn somewhere close to best rate of climb speed for that airframe? Just wondering.

The other thing I do is delete the “fxo” and “metashaders2” folders in Saved Games whenever I update the sim or my graphics drivers. Otherwise I sometimes have extremely long load times. The first load time after that can be long because the shaders have to be recompiled but subsequent load times go quickly.

Hopefully, it’ll be fixed well before then.

FWIW, I made no changes to my settings before using the map. No problems here. OTOH. the first thing I did was disable the Launcher.

None that I’ve found…

AFAIK, it’s still not available for use in the sim. It’ been in the encyclopedia for awhile.

My preference would be the ability to save anytime you want but that’s me. “Saving” is a great learning tool as in “how could I have done that better?” The benefit would be that you restart with the same parameters each time. It also helps in testing for the same reason.

It’ll be nice to get this back. ED gave it to us once over a decade or two ago. But, then, it was removed. People were complaining that it was a cheat.

I did consider the rest. I chose to ignore it because what you’re really saying is that people made an assumption. Yes, it sucks that people didn’t get what they assumed they were getting. Did ED purposely invite that assumption? I don’t know. But, like you suggested, perhaps people won’t make that mistake again.
