Yeah, this one is floating on the Caucasus hill - not standing straight... looking for a better one

Looking for a pilot character - the one after ejection - to put him on the map as a static object. Is there something like that in the editor? I have some from mods but they’re bugged - floating above the ground at different angle.

I have the same problem. I cannot start from cat 3,4 with AI planes on cat 1,2...

The discounts will not merge. You will buy it either with preorder discount or F/A18 discount.

I have this effect when lighting is already turn on, like In instant action missions with knobs only In half position. When I turn the knobs to the max is more like In Bignewy screenshots.

Thanks for all replies! I will try to do my best :)

A kind of hard question... What do you think about creating a historical mission in editor, based on actual events, with as much details as research and DCS allowed - but knowing that an allied plane was shot down and the pilot killed? Is it enough just to mention the incident without any details? Is it OK to mention pilot's name and further details, put some more info in radio messages and popups to create a kind of documentary, story driven mission? Where is the line between having fun at the computer, trying to tell a story or teach some facts in an interactive way and the respect to those who were killed in combat?

OK, I think I got this working. Thanks.

Can someone help? I have a big plane which follows a waypoint route and a group with task to escort her, keeping close formation. I want to make the escort group roll out and leave when the player comes very close or on his custom radio command. How to make them leave?

You will never go back to Ricardo cockpit because the 3D model is completely different now. HUD is now a little too big to fit in the HUD glass. You need to try different camera positions or look around with VR/Track IR

You can't go back even with old, custom cockpits. The only way is to switch to stable, but it is a matter of time when they remove the old cockpit there too.

The view is not bad if you have Track IR or VR, but with a mouse and buttons only you have to do a lot of stuff now to see HUD or just the APU switch. The seat with its handles block view to some switches. It may be realistic but it makes Track IR an obligatory hardware to fly the Hog now ;)

Yes, the issue of a brand new factory cockpit was just a matter of time :) But I think the community will soon put some weathering over that new car smell :) The new layout is bigger issue for me. The bottom handles of the seat are in the line of sight of many switches. I cannot see APU anymore without changing the camera. It was made for VR/Track IR.

which is better in this price range?

After the update the TGP cursor binded to axis on Warthog HOTAS is impossible to control. A gentle touch moves it all over the place regardless of saturation and deadzone. However - it works perfectly with TWCS edit: could be a random bug, after reloading it works as intended...

Thrustmaster TWCS and T16000M are great and cheap for the start. Then learn one thing at a time and what interest you the most - using Sidewinders and AIM120 or bombing? Watch tutorials on YT, assign buttons as you watch and learn - just a few you need at the moment, not all of them at once. Feel comfortable with them, remember, move to learn another thing, assign new buttons, maybe rearrange if needed. Dont learn or try everything right from the start and dont bore yourself with boring things like datalink or stuff like that. Just have fun with it.

I had the same after last update. Had to reinstall all DCS.

Great! Thank you!

Obviously F16C but some smartboy moved the topic so it doesnt make any sense now...

I want to make some camo livery but I cannot figure out how you can have all the rivets still visible without layers, while overpainting the whole camo pattern? Any quick tutorial how to make it PS? :)

I would love to see some worn liveries with some dirt, not the perfect clean colors.

The funny thing is that the F-16 on the title screen has a clear glass. Maybe it is going to be an option later on...?

You already have a bunch of new ones if you look at user files or FB page
