BTW, I was very upbeat and enthusiastic when I posted this message, hoping they would respond to it. I see now that it could be construed as negative but that was definitely not the case. I certainly wasn't yelling! Cheers, Hammer

No disrespect was meant to Eagle Dynamics. As far as the double post is concerned, it was not on purpose. I had posted this some years ago in the Wishlist and that is where I posted yet again only to realize after posting that it probably should go in the bugs AI section where it it usually highlighted by ED. Perhaps, where ED might at least respond to it. If they are working on it, great, maybe they could tell me so? I have always posted with smaller font and honestly I get few responses if at all and almost never from ED! I will refrain from using large font and apologize for any misunderstanding, however it was not my intention to be derogatory, disrespectful or negative in any way. I enjoy DCS and have ALWAYS been supportive of their efforts to make this game as great as it can be.

Franky, you are making a big deal simply because I used a large font. If I am not allowed to use a font this size then perhaps these forums can limit their size. It seemed a logical question to ask in view of the latest patch. I am not aware of how these things get fixed in game, I am not a programmer. I would like this to be fixed only because it would bring more realistic immersion to the game and benefit everyone.

it got your attention didn't it?

Now that Ai can't see through dense fog with the latest patch, will ED finally fix AI seeing thru clouds, specifically WW2 AI?

Launch bar does not work at all. Switch cover works fine. Will the F-14 get a pilot that moves his head like the player too? Like in the F-18?

I have never used the ACLS in the F-14 maybe to prove I was better than that. However I did not expect a HUD malfunction and yes I do use the HUD. Long story short, boltered twice and caught the 1-wire on the third attempt! HUGE sigh of RELIEF!!!!! BTW, I did get past the mission 1 bug by retracting the nose gear. I have reported it but no response from ED. Anyhow, enjoying the campaign and SO GLAD TO STILL BE ALIVE! Hopefully I'll survive to the end... Cheers Reflected.

No totally stock DCS, no mods, no changing the database.

I am being promoted from second lieutenant to full bird even though my logbook only shows 1 hour or so. Also the F-14A launch bar abort switch does not work. up or down mouse click.

Reported it in General Bugs.

Yeah, just tried mission 1 to start the campaign and the S-3 taxies right in front of my nose and stops. Tried to make a hard turn to the right but keep clipping him. Haven't tried the hard left hand turn though... Hope it gets fixed right away...I spent months training for this campaign in the F-14A, most of that training on night quals. Cheers

Thanks G.J.S! I did not know 8-Ball had done those. I have all his other mods. It's just that I recently did some U.S. Navy skins with the old SH-3W that I wanted it back. No worries, thanks again for the info! Cheers, Hammer_251

Yes didn't flip the Y to X on the tacan. The Sea King is in game by default. You simply add the line: cnt_unit( units.Helicopters.Helicopter, "SH-3W"); in the countries.lua in Scripts --> Database. I have used this for years. It is not a mod, it is from DCS World albeit old style graphically.

Right at takeoff on USS T. Roosevelt carrier Tacan showed 270 miles away??? Later after tanking with an S-3 Viking and switching back to 71X about 50 miles behind the carrier I set 71x on the tacan and it still showed 250 miles range. I switched back to the recovery tanker's tacan that was circling the ship and it showed 50 miles. I have a completely re-installed DCS, did the updates like normal, but certain things seem off. One example of this is I can no longer seem to find the SH-3 Sea King in the mission editor. I have it all set up in the countries.lua yet no Sea King.

You are both correct, I can't be sure it wasn't...flew the same mission again and double checked everything and yes it works. however the pilot's tacan is not showing the correct distance and direction. I set the tacan in the mission editor to show 71X. Is this correct?

Edited the countries.lua file and added sh-3w as usual but in the mission editor it does not show up in the list. Anyone try the stock Sea King lately?

My velocity vector does not seem to be working. It is stationary at the top of the HUD. Anyone else having this problem?

No sweat for the delay ED, you guys are great! DCS World are what my dreams are made of! I have just finished my training in the F-14A as close as I could per U.S. Navy procedures and I'm lovin" it! Nothing like a Case 3 in pitch darkness to get the adrenaline flowing! Regards,

bbbbbbbbbb

Thanks, roger that.

So, if I understand correctly, all the cash we spend on these current maps means we will lose in the global map? I thought the existing maps would be incorporated in the global map eventually, isn't that what Wags said in the interview or ...
