TORC

OK, full update of the list is done! Thanks for your patience and help, everyone Notable changes: I've broken out the Flaming Cliffs modules (and the Su-25T, which shares their lack of cockpit-clickability) into a separate table in the document. It was too confusing to have the high fidelity module and the low fidelity module right next to each other in the same table, and made the "Jet Fighters and Trainers" table a bit too big. I also feel that people who are in the market for a Flaming Cliffs module aren't the same audience as those who are in the market for a full fidelity module, so hopefully this makes sense to everyone. The F4U-1D Corsair is added to the list, I guess they disabled the torso movement with the latest patch until they can fix it, as I didn't observe it (the torso moves a bit with control manipulation now, but not when you look to the left or right). As per the color coding guide this puts the module in the "[GREEN]" category. The F-5E Flaming Cliffs module uses the old F-5E/FA-18 pilot model, which is a bit disappointing. I was expecting it to use the new F-5E Remastered pilot model with the updated torso movement and larger kneeboard. I'm not sure when this happened, but the pilot model in the Christen Eagle now has a bit of torso movement when looking around. The movement is reasonable - I'd guess you're strapped in pretty tight in an aerobatics aircraft - but unfortunately the hands aren't rigged perfectly to the controls so the throttle comes through the left hand when looking about. This puts the module in the "[GOLD]" category, and I've updated the list to reflect this. I will update the first post later this week, I'm toying with the idea of trying to include the tables in the post in some form but I'll need to see how well / if the forum software supports that. Thanks again to everyone who has contributed and pushed me to keep this going!

Thanks @Skuva and @draconus, I will update the document. It's also probably time to go through and do a full audit to see if I've missed any updates since the last audit ... we'll see if I can get that done quickly

I take your point @draconus, if it is useful to people I can add the FC3 aircraft back into the list - but my concern remains: if anyone can add to the discussion here about what is actually in FC2024 pilot-body wide I’d greatly appreciate it?

Quick update to remove the RAZBAM modules from the tables (you can't buy them any more ). I've also removed the Flaming Cliffs modules, as I only have Flaming Cliffs 3 and I'm not confident that is representative of Flaming Cliffs 2024 nor am I intending to buy that pack as I own the full-fidelity versions of those aircraft. Finally there is some good news about the long (long long long!) awaited A-10C pilot, which is coming soon and appears to be a hi-fidelity model like in the F-5E, F-16 and F/A-18. Not sure that offsets the disappointment of the Razbam stuff, but something to look forward to at least.

I've updated the document with the F-5E Tiger II remastered edition (which I believe is now the only full fidelity F-5E you can buy in the online store or on Steam). The module has an updated pilot which brings it in line with the F-16 and F-18 with upper body movement (which is hard to see in the cramped confines of the F-5E cockpit, but it is there!) and a kneeboard on the left leg. Again, I do not own the Flaming Cliffs 2024 edition version of the F-5E so I can't speak to what is included in that module - if anyone does ownitI'd appreciate it if you could let me know

Hi @ebabil, I didn’t see this sooner, so I imagine you’ve already made your decision one way or the other. If it helps though, from my experience, the G940 does work “plug and play” with DCS, and the buttons feel similar to the MSFFB in use. I found my stick to feel more “coggy” than the MSFFB, though both those older sticks feel very ordinary compared to something newer (and far more expensive) like the Moza AB9. The limitation on the G940 is the firmware in the device causing problems with small stick movements around the center position, and a pretty weak gimbal setup inside the device. And obviously these older devices don’t have the force the newer ones do. In my opinion, an unmodified G940 is a waste of money these days.

Quick update to the CH-47F with the new patch... we now have a pilot and copilot in the cockpit! Including first-person view, the upper body is animated - straight to the "Gold" Category

Issue with false positive for AV-8B and M2000 CPT.dll files now resolved - install OK and working OK, no viruses detected.

Quick update to include the CH-47F, the module is in a very early state with no pilot or crew bodies visible from inside the cockpit (hence being in the [RED] category) and a number of other "features to do" outstanding such as the cyclic force trim when using a force feedback joystick.

As an update - it appears Windows Defender has been updated and no longer recognises these files as malware. I reinstalled the modules today successfully with no warnings.

Windows Defender found Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml today when I updated to DCS 2.9.7.58923 using Steam in the following files: \SteamLibrary\steamapps\downloading\223750\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\bin\AV8B_CPT.dll \SteamLibrary\steamapps\downloading\223750\Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\bin\M2KC_CPT.dll Given recent events I have elected to not install the M2000 or AV8B until this issue is resolved.

Trying to update DCS World to 2.9.7.58923 through Steam today (10/08/2024), when downloading files Windows Defender detects Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml in: file: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\downloading\223750\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\bin\AV8B_CPT.dll file: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\downloading\223750\Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\bin\M2KC_CPT.dll Using an abundance of caution given what I understand about the two modules, I have removed them by unchecking the "Install" box next to them in the Steam Properties DLC page for DCS World. Can you please investigate this issue and advise the result?

An update to this request now that I've had a play with the new launcher. The new launcher is great. I like how it allows me to choose to use the monitor, or to use the VR headset just by clicking the appropriate button. That helps. I would still like a "Single monitor - Monitor #2" option in the Monitor setting, if that's possible?

Hey all, Huge DCS patch dropped today, no changes to the 1st person pilot visibility for any of the modules that don't have them. On FC2024: I am not currently intending to purchase this update as I own the F-86, MiG-15 and F-5E as standalone modules. All of these modules feature the pilot body, so I'd be amazed if the FC2024 versions don't. If anyone does purchase and can let me know one way or the other, that'd be appreciated!

Apologies, but I'm not in a position to try to apply the firmware to actual hardware any more - I hope someone else can help?
