  1. As you said: in the download link, also in the update overview at https://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ At the end of the day: we got rid of two concurrent "stable" and "open beta" versions and I kinda don't care what it's actually called, so if you want to argue semantics: be my guest.
  2. The different versions have been discontinued with the last patch, there only is a unified version that is called "stable" now, starting with version 2.9.3.51704. https://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/
  3. You don't know if the 3D artist who works on textures and covers is even capable of fixing the map display on certain scales, nor do you know if it's ED only, Ugra Media only or needs both and how their respective resources are stretched. Just as a general idea: being bothered about bugs in DCS doesn't really help you or the devs. Report bugs, lean back and enjoy everything else and wait - there's nothing else that really makes sense.
  4. Yeah, between all the stuff that is not yet implemented and/or a bit broken that is "all good". Now that the FM changes are in chances are good that Ugra Media and/or ED will work their way down to lesser priority bugs.
  5. Yeah, it is pretty irrelevant, honestly. It will be fixed at some point, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter, tbqh.
  6. Nope, spent several hours doing Case I landings without issues in getting the bird onspeed
  7. Negative, at this moment only the AI has said covers and the ladder
  8. Haha, just have to say the tag of this thread is just perfect, 10/10 *chef's kiss*
  9. Create a single player track file that just showcases the issue and nothing else, so best set up a few things in an empty mission and show the issue only.
  10. How can you get lost in either?
  11. Just had to say it to reply to those weirdos who find the Lawn Dart visually appealing All I can see:
  12. The Hornet is not only the most gorgeous plane of all, it is also very well developed, it's systems are logical and easy to use and it's insanely capable in everything you need to do. In DCS it actually comes close to feeling like a one man air force. While I played tons of Falcon 4 and BMS back in the day, I am *so glad* to got rid of the F-16 and it's ridiculously illogical and convoluted avionics. Everything is complicated in that thing, the tiny MFDs with their bad layouts and strange logical paths are just so off-putting once you had the chance to use the Hornet's. And don't get me started on it's weird use of SPI & CZ necessities. I do like the A-10 because of the rule of cool, and while it's systems are a bit weird as well at leasts it's concept of SPI generation is way ahead of the Viper. I personally also don't find that non-FBW planes have anything in offer in terms of "soul", that is just a non-issue to me. The need to constantly trim and watch out for peculiarities is not engaging to me, it is just tedious. We arrived at a modern age and I want to use modern tools. The whole "flying" part of things is "meh" to me, doesn't differ from a Cessna 172 a lot anyway. Systems management is what makes me interested in flight sims (which is why I also enjoy airliner sims a lot - programming an FMS is one of my favorite things to do), and the Hornet's systems are second to none in DCS, only the Mud Hen comes close (you can feel the manufacturer's genes here).
  13. It still doesnt lock a thing. It designates the L&S. If, for some reason, a friendly plane is the highest-ranking trackfile it will correctly become the L&S.
  14. Sure thing, I just wanted to ask for a clarification as to what has been renamed to what. All good.
  15. No, you don't need a "minimum number of players", and yes the AI flight members will share DL with you. It will be similar in the Apache.
  16. Does anyone know what this means, exactly? "Due to complications stemming from our other businesses, we had to adjust datalink terms. In this case, Secure Modem Datalink (SMDL). This is all I will say on the matter. " I totally understand the sensitivity of the systems in question and possible intervention by government customers, but: is the name changed, or what? Functionality-wise I am certain everything will be fine for us in the scope of DCS, looking forward to it!
  17. What keeps you from focusing on one plane even with the full set of icons on the bottom? That kinda makes no sense...
  18. You don't have to give a mobile number or anything to google to use this form of 2FA. You don't have to use the Google Authenticator, don't have to be online, don't have to yield any information.
  19. Absolutely. Well, learning through pain when the first important online account is stolen.
  20. Wait, what - people are *complaining* about 2FA in 2023? The mind is boggled.
  21. I would hope so! There must be some sort of boresighting mechanism in the other planes as well, and I would welcome that. Feels wrong to just sling them in the Hornet, I want the full monty and have to boresight as well.
  22. I don't. I have bought this, but the LoFi turns me off so much that I never touched it again.
