Al-Azraq

Which are the radio frequencies for communicating?

Still present yes. It is very annoying and quite immersion breaking. Flown also the K-4 and that one is fine.

I'm sure that in September / October there will be another sale but being selfish, I hope that it comes later because I will spend money in the Sabre and Mig-15...

Great advise, thanks guys. Yesterday when I tried the new changes was a little bit confused but now I understand much better. Also there are a couple of bugs like the keyboard bindings and helmet visor going down with the MAG select that confused me as well, nothing game breaking as the MAG are selected anyway and the fix for the keyboard is already posted.

¿Has the radar lock modes changed? I mean, do you still automatically change from TWS to STT when firing a missile?

And what about the helmet visor bug when selecting Magic?

Can’t drop the tank here either as I can’t select it in the PCA.

Same problem here, I don’t get what’s happening.

Very interesting, I didn't know the existence of this server. Maybe today I'll have some time to fly in there.

Mostly SP for now because I am just learning my first module (M2000C) and I want to finish its campaign first. However, I have briefly tried MP and it was fun although I was friendly shot.

Thanks mate! I will take another ride with the A8 this afternoon.

Hi guys, noob here. How can I check the position of the objectives after take off? I use F10 to bring up the map but the objectives are not marked there.

Impact and damage. You have clearly better impact effects and sounds, these sounds are specially noticeable when you are the one being hit. You can see also small pieces falling off and sparks, the damage at least in the A8 looks way better. Nineline already stated that this wasn't supposed to be released yet, that it was a mistake and it still needs some tweaks. For example, all impact puffs look the same no matter the calibre of the ammunition used but this is being worked on. A very welcome mistake by ED for sure as despite needing some tweaks and adjustments it is better than what we had before.

Really interesting! I really wish to see the P47 done, it will be clearly a pre-purchase for me. Really the WWII line-up in DCS is taking shape, we just need that new DM and we are all set.

Some parts of it yes, by mistake as Nineline said. So far it looks great and you can really notice the difference in the damage you receive as you will see small pieces of your plane falling off. Also the sound when your are hit are different as well as the VFX. However, the 'pluffs' are all the same no matter the caliber of the ammunition used but Nineline also said that this is being tuned and it was not meant to be released yet.

Only thing different than my setup is the global illumination in the cockpit. I will try it out off, thanks!

A little bit off topic here but I am curious about which are your graphical settings. Your cockpit shadows look crisp and mine look pixelated despite having almost everything maxed out.

If you just want to fly the best plane always just take your F18 and start taking down everything, if that is the meta that you are looking for of course. However, as I understand it, we are here for simulation and sometimes you will find yourself in scenarios where you will have an inferior tool, conditions, or luck. Flying a different and iconic plane like the A8 is enough for me and yes, it has its weaknesses, but you can counter them by flying smart or with a wingman. If everyone in DCS would think like that we would have ended up just fighting with the F18 and that is it, here you have your meta.

Nineline said that it won’t be coming for the release of the A8, no even for this new plane. I think that is imminent but not in time for this patch.

So the Anton will be released with the new DM but the other birds will have the old?

I just wanted to say that I have received my UTC Mk II Regular and already attached to my HyperX Cloud headset. It was really easy to set up with the velcro stickers and you will not notice at all when you have them on because of their low weight. Just plug and play. They come with a long micro USB cable and the velcros so 10/10 for me. Nice work HAV!

I was debating whether getting it or not as I only have the Spitfire in the WW2 era plane set and I thought that I might get the P51, Dora, and K4 when on sale but I said, life is short, love the warbirds, and I fortunately I can spare the money so why not? Also I love the firepower this thing has and for ground pounding it will be the way to go when on german side. I just hope that the promised updates to the WW2 come soon, specially the new damage model.

Will try that, thanks a lot for your help.

Yes, maybe I have to move the zoom to another keybind and use the rotary for RPM control. I will try it out this weekend. Although the more convenient solution for me would be to find a workaround in order to keep using the hat. Thanks!

Hi everynone! I have one question about the Spitfire Mk IX. I have mapped the RPM setting to one of my 8 push hat in the T16000 hotas but with every press, the RPM will go down or up by a lot. For instance, It jumps from 2400 to 3000 with one push. Any way to correct this? Any way to smooth it out? Thanks in advance!
