If it is actually the swiss version we are getting, as hinted in some older screenshots, it would mean a more modern radio set with both vhf and uhf (hence the big antenna on some of the screenshots) and a basic inertial naviagation system as the poster above you mentions. I would absolutely love that but i'll only get excited once I see cockpit screenshots.

So since a few months I have the issue, that after starting dcs the first time in VR, my head movement is not tracked and I have to close dcs, then restart it and then it works. It however only works if I start it via the shortcut on the desktop, if I start it via the shortcut on the start menu for example, it wont work. Does anyone have an idea why? I am on windows 10 using a samsung odyssey+ with windows mixed reality portal. dcs.log

Same issue, sure the 1080ti ismt the newest anymore but was a complete slideshow on syria, on caucasus its just about playable

For me the dcs updater also asked me to restart my pc after it was done, it was definitely not a windows prompt but one by the dcs updater

I havent tried since the patch but before the patch for me the uh-60 did not work with dynamic spawn

Not just the strut, also the retraction sequence of the undercarriage is now slower and the mains come up before the nosewheel. One update ago the rwr behavior was adjusted and there are now more variants of the aim-9 available to load on the wingtip stations, but im not sure if any of these changes were in the changelogs and there might be other changes I did not notice.

can confirm this issue and can also confirm that the issue is not dependent on if the server has the mod installed, either way it displays the error.

is the helipad mod still working? for me at least the "H" helipads cause the choppers to spawn 90 degrees on their side and explode immediately

Have you seen the current status posts? Currently there is no progress at all, so dont expect an answer anytime soon, if at all.

But thats the thing that is the big question around the Situation. One possibility is, that razbam made the statement just to get the public opinion in their favour and put pressure on ED (which if that was the case backfired quite spectacularly as a big portion of the people is angry at them and not ED). The other option is that razbam was working without getting payed by ED already for a long time doing exactly what you suggested and keeping the issue behind closed doors while trying to solve them with ED. At some point they simply were not able anymore to pay salaries to their freelancers and or direct employees anymore and that is why they had to pull them from DCS development and made the statement of halting development just out of necessity as the pitchforks would have been out even more violently if it was just no updates without any announcement. Now my guess would be that the reality is somewhere in between those two scenarios but that is only my personal guess. We dont even know if or for how long they did not receive payments, and even if they actually did not receive payments we have no idea if that is justified by some breach of contract on their side, but lets just hope they can settle this in some form or way outside of court, because if this goes to court in switzerland (or werever it is agreed on in their contract), it will be months or even years until we get a resolution.

For everyone screaming sabotage: a similar or maybe even identical thing happened already at the beginning of the year and back then it definitely was a bug that only apeared on the stable version as something expired at newyears, so my guess would be its not deliberate but just the same bug again. Whats the saying again: Never assume malice when stupidity can suffice, which holds true especially with coding bugs.

if memory serves me correctly, this file is not available anymore since it was encrypted a few months ago. Back then quite some files were encripted, but not completely sure anymore if the callsigns were.

One of the main advantages SRS still has is, that if somebody is on his laptop using lotatc, he can command the others without having dcs running on the system, that is the most vital part lacking in the builtin voip in my opinion.

if you want to start into coding an external flight model you have to study quite deep into equations of motion and fluid dynamics as far as I know and you need to learn to code in c++, so if you want to start going in that direction thats where you have to start studying. Then you need to get access to wind tunnel data or alternatively CFD data for the aircraft you want to model. If you have all these basics then you can start looking into other open source flight models like the one of the a-4 that was already linked above

I think they are still calculated, at least their collision objects are. If you delete a hangar per trigger and place something on top of it, it stays on top of the invisible hangar. I really also hope for better performance, especially as some people have struggles with high end pc's. But for the people expecting to continue to run dcs on the same settings with aging hardware, this won't happen due to the advancements of the game. If your computer can't upgrade there is a simple solution that really hurts. When 2.5 came around I couldn't run it (back then I could barely run 1.5), so I had to go back to 1.2 version of dcs. That was because I was playing on my mother s laptop that was a hot potato. I still am a Student and am lowering my settings slowly as dcs progresses but I think it is unreasonable to expect a game that gets developped to new graphical standards all the time to be able to run on old hardware, so worst case you have to stay on an older version of dcs. The amazing thing with dcs is, that at least last time I tested multiplayer versions as late as 1.2 were working when the other player also installed 1.2

I really also hope for improvements and optimisations, but why are you calling bs on us flying 4 ship all evening long? We had different systems (one or two people flat screen, rest vr) I myselfe fly in vr, with a 1080ti, a ryzen 5 2600 and only 16gb ram and had quite good performance, so it is not just raw power but probably some settings or configurations that play together with some hardware configurations that lead to really bad performance for some and quite okay performance for others

Well I have to say, I'm sorry for everybody that has huge fps problems, but for many apparently it isn't really a problem. We flew 4 ship hornets today all over the map and none of us had really any problems (we however all had lowered our settings previousely for flying missions on syria). So especially as it is a free map, I'm still happy that it has been released for those of us who can already use it and hopefully for the rest it gets optimized soon.

In the newsletter they said it would be due to people cheating in online servers with enhanced missiles

So to sum up this, we have waited a year for the promised waveoff lights and now we can't even use them in vr with the mouse? I have the blue cross but can't reach the buttons and can't test with controllers as I don't have them.

See this link for instructions how to do it.

Just a bump, as this issue is still present after having been reported multiple times and since multiple years.

I know this thread is a bit older, but there is a workaround. There is a invisible farp and it removes scenery objects in a small radius around it. You can place multiple of them to remove stuff in multiplayer. Disadvantage is, that you can't contact the airfields anymore because the farps clutter the frequency list.

I just want to bump this thread, as this problem has been in existance for years and not been fixed. We are a swiss community and are rebuilding our airbases with custom buildings and stuff. In Singleplayer, with this trigger you can remove all hangars and trees, but it is only visible to the server, not to the clients. Our workaround at the moment is to place hzundreds of invisible helipads as they remove the objects too, but this creates problems when refueling and with contacting atc as there are hundreds of farps in your radio list. This is one example where it would be extremely useful to have this feature.

As a swiss, I would love such a map.

If you have to press another seperate button it is even less realistic than not having to press a button at all, as the idea behind it is, that you push down the hat of the tdc and then move it.
