now that you mention it, the post is a bit odd... :p
Please note, not everyone uses keyboards, so it is very subjective.
Center view and zoom are two different things.

Hello,
When you place the aircraft, you select "client" instead of "player" or an AI level.
The pilot should enter first and the rear seat then joins him (while in MP).

Never mind... I checked and files are five months old. Answered my question. :)

Hello,
Gear down @ 340kmph, Flaps @ 310kmph, full flaps @ 260 kmph.
You need throttle at 80-85% and a VVI of -4 to -6.
The slowest jet in DCS takes a long time to speed up and slow down. Better early than too late.

Didn't vote as none fit.
99% of the time I fly, I am practicing, just as I would when I flew to get the PPL, I learn to fly as per the manual and I attempt to learn aerobatics by the numbers (more to it than zooming around with smoke on).
I can't fly SP and there is only one server that allows me to fly without a gun sight in my L-39, so that is my home base.
I'm kind of retired from combat. :)

I'd be lost without the AO server. :)
The connection is excellent and is not the cause of the long spikes, of which are 90% fewer than there used to be (for me).
If you join a MP and it resets your controls is could be you are using simple or arcade controls and the server might require simulation controls, as it should.

Hallo Heinz,
Has a the Bf-109K profile been updated with fixes at the GitHub site?
Thanks,

Hello,
Found references to these in this file:
C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Mods\terrains\Nevada\Models\AirfieldsLights\AirfieldsLights.ref.m5
Doesn't seem editable to me, but hopefully they will someday fix it. Don't hold your breath and your time sounds like it should be spent practicing landings instead. If you can't land without these crutches, you need to go back to ground school and that is a fact.
good luck,

if hosting a server, you need to click the + sign to add the mission first.
If you don't see mission in the mission editor, you must not be opening the proper folder.

Hello,
I've done a lot of work on beacons lately and I've learned some things on how to fix errors while working on someone's beacon mod for the L-39. I am quite interested in your post as I was wondering if the latest errors I saw were also in the default ILS beacons. I was wanting to ask on the forum, but this is usually a waste of time.
Groom Lake can be funny as it is high up in elevation and the slightest error in the height setting of the beacon can make it not work so well.
Frequencies that are close together can interfere with each other. I've seen the errors you describe about Groom Lake before in my testing. Beta testers don't seem to test very deeply and a lot of this flies under the radar.
If you would like to try re-producing and then testing fixes, please send me a PM. It is really not that hard.

1.5.7 is very good update. Let the fights begin...

Hello,
I didn't know where else to ask this..
Does anyone have any point of contact with Simple Solutions, the German business that sells Arcaze cards and components? This spring I had an order all ready to go, but then property taxes came due and I put it off. Now, it appears much of their stock is sold out and while they were great in the past about replying to email, I get no responses at all now.
Pit is dead in the water without LED's.
It is a long shot, but I thought I would ask...
-
Have you tried a repair?
-
Anytime an update make performance worse, it is usually the shaders. Be sure to try renaming the saved games folders, run DCS, then move your settings back in.
-
DCS needs to start at 0, 0.
First thing I would try is moving the flipped portrait to portrait and move it to the right side of the other monitors.
viewport angles are the viewDx, viewDy settings.
-
I've noticed that file for some time. I noted it in a clean install, so I don't worry about it.

Hello,
I just love having a life-sized setup to match the simpit. Even going to a single one of my 32" HDTV's is unflyable (IMHO). I think the only thing close is the 49" monitor that was posted about not long ago in the PC section. It would be nice to have a better refresh rate than my setup.
I don't use the wide angle and have a PLP monitor setup (portrait, landscape, portrait). My pit sits in the dead spot below the center landscape monitor. I keep DCS on these three monitors only as I no longer export any viewports to my pit. There is no distortion from stretching and it runs very well, performance-wise. Probably not for everyone, though.
I note someone posted to XX about a beautiful setup that runs with projectors. It had 1,240.00 US as price. I thought "XXXX yeah!" Then I noticed that someone said it was actually 1,240,000.00.
I'll keep my setup until we figure out something better... best of luck to you.

Hello,
I can feel when I trim my plane during landing with my TFS seat. If you don't have tactile feedback in your seat, you are just sitting there.
DCS uses true north. If you don't believe it fly in the NTTR where it is very clear.
best wishes,
-
dobri dahn,
(pardon my poor language. Mother's family was from Croatia and I wish I learned to speak more of it.)
That stinks it is not running well! It is probably the best NTTR update in some time. The usual performance killer is the Deferred Shadows setting. If we want to run this, we need to upgrade. Sad, but true. I find DCS to be just fine without it.
Also, I note "lowered Nvidia settings". Set everyone of those settings to default and let application control do it all. They pretty much only hurt performance in DCS.
Best thread about optimizing I've ever seen is here:

Best of luck to you,
I just noticed what forum I am in... hope whatever version you are referring to runs better. :)

I want to apologize for going OT. My comment about the what the manual says is not about the real L-39.
What I would like to know:
It seems like these secondary scales are a readout of MSL altitude when QFE is set to 0 to match an airfield. Is this correct in the actual VD-20?
If it is true, and the numbers are off, it might be something fixable and that will be addressed in another post.
-
Yes, I understand that and can see it work at Groom Lake as it goes off the scale there. I'll point out why it is wrong in the future.
My friend, for the record, you just paraphrased the manual. ;)

Finding QFE at destination airfield/RSBN
To find QFE of your destination airfield and RSBN beacon:
1. Note Current runway altitude and QFE.
2. Note destination runway altitude. Note difference between the two numbers.
3a. Destination is higher than departure - subtract difference from departure runway alt (using altimeter QFE setting knob).
3b. Destination is lower than departure - add difference to departure runway alt.
4. Note new QFE setting on altimeter.
5. New QFE setting is your destination runway altitude (very close) and this value can be entered into the ZDV-30 RSBN Pressure setting.
EXAMPLE
1.5.7 AO server is currently at 76.00 QFE (from briefing), Sukuhmi altitude is 11m. Mozdok altitude is 155m. 144 is subtracted on the altimeter using QFE setting knob. New value is 74.7.
Altimeter will now read at or near '0' at Mozdok. Entering 74.7 on the ZDV-30 means we get a 600m altitude when the End of Descent lamp comes on during our RSBN approach.
I recommend rounding the number 'up'.

Hello, I have a question regarding the VD-20 barometric altimeter.
Indexes "1" and "2" appear to show MSL altitude when the QFE is set so runway altitude shows "0", but this value is affected by the QFE setting and then becomes inaccurate. Value shown is 810m and actual value is supposed to be 952m. Setting QFE to 75.99 gets this much closer to the proper number, but then the runway runway zero setting is off.
This is what I never can understand about QFE in DCS. That scale for MSL should show the proper altitude number when runway is set to zero. The QFE knob should correctly adjust both of these indexes. It does not, or the outer indexes use improper math code.
Here is what the manual says about this index (and I'm calling BS):
5. Pressure correction indexes, for landing at high altitude airfields, where pressure is less than 670 mmHg. The indexes are moved by the knob.
I am guessing this is another fundamental bug of DCS(?)

Got it. Thanks, Bud. Pretty busy lately and might be a day or two before I get to it.
