thanks for the profound answers! will put that hydraulic behaviour on the wishlist for DCS 5.0

Thanks for the explanation. I wonder whether there is a emergency retraction system of the speed brake in the Strike Eagle because a plane without hydraulic pressure might not want to have the speed brake extended.

seems to make sense. What leads to the question: shouldn't this valve be operational even after the loss of the hyd. pressure and if so, shouldn't the speed brake retract by opening the valve?

From English Wikipedia: "One personal view from a World War II pilot stated: The funny thing about a ready room is that you get attached to the hole. As much as you are attached to the ship. It's more than sentiment. It's an urge for protection. The loneliest feeling in the whole of a carrier pilot's world is when he's at sea with the gas running low, and he can't see his carrier. You think of the ready room then, and the noisy guys who make it the most desirable place in the world. It's your office, you live in it, it is the big thing in your life. […] You sweat and worry in it, and grouse and argue, and you get mad at it when you can't hear yourself speak because everyone is yelling at once, but you're deeply attached to the place. — Tommy Booth, "Wildcats" Over Casablanca " It may take a lot of work and time for ED but I hope they try to get close to this step by step.

I'd also prefer interactive cockpits and would pay for those but I'm afraid FC3 is what it is and will stay that way. I still enjoy it from time to time.

After coming back to the FC3 modules with a VR headset and a better HOTAS I realised that almost everything I needed was bindable to a button, lever or dial. So I eventually forgot that FC3's are "not clickable". I like the flightmodels and even the cockpits very much.

Could it be that the issue isn't Jester's mood or attitude per se but the inevitable repetitions?

Imho the Supercarrier is already worth the money, and let's not forget it will get even better with the ready room and air boss station. I will never forget the first time I had a cat shot from the Supercarrier (in VR) (I wish we had an interactive ground crew / chief implemented for land based cold starts, but that is another story)

Glückwunsch zum Zweijährigen Wunderschönes Video!

Außer man heißt Rooster;)

lol, the first 5 sec I thought: "Man, raytraycing looks great in DCS 3.0"

I use a desktop shortcut with the target: "D:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" update And the "start in:" looks like: "D:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin" This shortcut just checks for updates but does not start DCS

Würde sich in rot mit "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" möglicherweise besser verkaufen

Mic switch needs to be set to "on" to communicate with ground crew - default it is off. (Source: Changelog current open beta)

This could be helpful

To be fair, is there any information from ED where they forgot to state that you need the DCS 2.8.6... version? The reason why there is no disclaimer in the module manager of the stable version is the same reason why you can't find the F-15E in it. For the future it might help to be aware of the fact that every module comes to open beta first.

Flaming Cliffs 3 owner?

Could it be that the issue isn't Jester's mood or attitude per se but the inevitable repetitions (that are the nature of a non-ChatGPT-based-"AI")?

Imho the pain comes from the fact, that a lot of people would like to have a (rough) release date of Razbam's F-15E. Watching what others do with the Strike Eagle would only be "bearable" if we knew when we get our hands on it as well. (I exclude notso's videos, because showing how things work for me is usefull before release. Showing how much fun it is for many, many others before I get it? Not so much. But I'm still not offended by all this. I'm patient. Just my 2 cents that might help understanding an maybe help motivating @Silver_Dragon just a little bit to continue the superb job on that thread of all those years!)

thanks and yes, I accepted it as normal too. I just thought I add it here for the case (with low possibility) someone doesn't know. I wasn't aware of that "no-key-pressing default view change", tho. So also thanks for that.

Idk whether it is related but ever since I've played DCS I have to press the reset zoom button once every time I get into a cockpit when I start a mission. This provides my previously set FOV/zoom level. Plz be aware that this is not done by the "center view" but by the "reset zoom" key. (don't exactly know what they're called in English) DCS always starts zoomed out a bit until I hit the zoom reset key to get to my dedired/preset FOV.

And be aware that "the DCS: Supercarrier module also includes [...] the Su-33 Flanker" Just in case you haven't bought the Su-33 already and you are interested in the Supercarrier.

ED advertises those modules in the shop as follows: Note: the aircraft model is identical to the Flaming Cliffs 3 module. Owners of FC3 do not need to purchase. I don't see a reason not to trust them.

This is the exact reason why it should be done for DCS World. I for one love DCS modules because each of them not only shows its values and advantages in historical development over other aircraft but teaches us its shortcomings, too, and help understand and experience the need for further development that led to advanced aircraft. I'm not too concerned about multiplayer balancing. This is done by mission creators. Real aircraft developers never cared for balance but for superiority. DCS is much more than PvP for me.

I would like to have an option that puts the cursor to the center every time I switch it on (LAlt+C, or in my case I push the mouse wheel to the right). It often happens that I can't remember whether I turned off the cursor by LAlt+C or it went to standby/invisible by time. In the latter case I sometimes try to switch it on and try to find it but what I did was turning it off. If the cursor was put right in the center of my VR view on turning it on, it would be a huge relief. (edit: ... as an option. I don't want to annoy others that don't need/want that.)
