Purchase F-14 from Heatblur Store or DCS Store?
RustBelt replied to Ludl0w's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
Well you can lan together, you don’t need to be on a remote server. One of the computers just runs as host. But that doesn’t fix the sync issues because it’s still doing the same thing across a crossover cable, or across the internet. -
It’s ok, It’s a computer game. All of it is make believe, so it not being the right Block for a paint job isn’t more unrealistic.

AI Wingman lowers flaps with wings swept back
RustBelt replied to Tomcatter87's topic in Bugs and Problems
I suspect, like many things, it’s a half Heatblur, half ED kind if problem. Meaning, don’t hold your breath. -
Brunner FFB stick incompatible with F14 autopilot.
RustBelt replied to WelshZeCorgi's topic in Bugs and Problems
Reason is, the sidewinder is talking directly through DirectX and the Brunner is sneaking data out the back door. I don’t know why Brunner refuses to cobble together a DirectX interface for their driver software, probably some kind of licensing or old documentation or something, who knows, or they just don’t care. For the price, they could have at least tried. But, their primary customer uses non DirectX for control loading so they probably don’t see the point. A directX to Brunner translator would be a valuable utility for anyone who can actually code in grownup, not python.- 1 reply

This was probably the work around to get it to stop flying swept with flaps down. Just forcing a flaps up argument every AI “frame”

You should try a repair of DCS. Looks like your update went a bit wrong.

The CNC will be more useful to you. The plates are Engraved clear acrylic painted white then black on an aluminum base plate with backlights. Only 3d print weird, specialized shapes if you can manage. Bend Sheet metal or foam core where you can. With that size printer, knobs and such. And the analog dials mostly.

TID display export... F14_HSD very dim compared to F14_TID
RustBelt replied to parkerfly51505's topic in Bugs and Problems
We not using OVGME any more? -
AI activate wings unsweep damages player aircraft
RustBelt replied to Nealius's topic in Bugs and Problems
Best practice is to just report both places. -
Exactly. Super Carrier is barely early access and seemingly low priority. They still haven’t gotten new missile stuff to 3rd party yet

CMS: how to select Chaff or Flare to dispense
RustBelt replied to cmbaviator's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
I believe right lower side with the rest of the Countermeasures setup. -
I mean, performance from whenever they originally made 2.0. Problem is all this stuff gets grouped in with “vulkan coming soon” which has been years now. I don’t blame them not wanting to do the same work twice, but well, if it never gets done, it’s not really done twice.

TID display export... F14_HSD very dim compared to F14_TID
RustBelt replied to parkerfly51505's topic in Bugs and Problems
Which is fine, until the sun starts going down. Then you're either blind in the cockpit view, or too dim on the exported screen. -

RustBelt replied to parkerfly51505's topic in Bugs and Problems
It's dimmer unless you F2 to the external view, then it's the correct brightness. No idea why. -
Are there any Milsim or milsim light Tomcat squadrons flying off the Forestall and not the super carrier? Looking to do some solid 80’s Cold war especially given the upcoming maps and plane modules on the horizon.

It’s not up to Heatblur. Supercarrier and its features are an Eagle Dynamics product. If ED wants to let third parties use the SC assets, THEY have to do something they are historically loathe to do, which is make a documented API and provide their code. They aren’t that kind of company. So the alternative is you have to wait for ED and ONLY ED to step up. Which, how long have we been waiting for the SC to set up a Tomcat specific Ball? Or LSO grading for the F-14? Heck, how many YEARS now has the “new missile API” been just around the corner?

Or switch to a Pilot mode.

Request: Add new F14A/B callsign - GHOST RIDER
RustBelt replied to TEMPEST.114's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
I’d love if DCS was receptive to ANY user created improvements. -
Finished with all four? They aren’t even being definitive about doing the Saratoga. Much less the other two that will need actual re-modeling. Heatblur got the ball rolling. Someone else needs to start stepping up and make a Cold War assets pack with that stuff in it. Sadly it’s the perfect stuff Razbam could do, but they tie their hands with complex aircraft systems. We need another Razbam just to make assets.
