confirmed - Cage doesnt work if from cold start with no weapons No biggie, just have to hot start until they are fixed :) Wags did mention that there might be a hotfix Friday Fingers crossed

i have used a JTAC in a quick test mission, i would just use a Reaper drone to be honest i have included the file here just so you can test the Mavs if required MAV Test.miz

Excellent - opens up new mission possibilities thanks ED

I think there are 2 camps here, those that are A2A focused and those, like myself who are ground pounders I personally want to see the targeting pod and LGBs as the dump bombing is getting old quick :)

I am continuing to investigate with ED if there is any way round this. One idea I had was to maybe have a different map file loaded depending on which date was chosen. I,e, pre 12th May 1985 would load one map and post would load another, whoever, currently this feature isn't available with DCS at the moment. I have requested the feature be added. This would make the actual download of the map a lot larger but that's the price you pay for having essentially 2 terrains. Fingers crossed. Thanks Specter

welcome to the Team James :)

Consider EA as a Beta. Things break, new things get added tweaked. systems grow and this allows you to grow with it, without "here are 200 systems learn them" but rather that you know the first 50, here is another one add that to your list Its the name of the game. I personally have loved flying the 18 since its release

i agree - when the map is bright you cannot ready anything

After the update i had myrliple bindings for the airbreak retract, just rebind and it should work

a mate of mine has just dropped 2 x 2080TI in his machine (He has also had to order a new PSU as a 850 watt wasn't powerful enough), using the rift he is still only getting 45 FPS, I think this is due to the rift software limiting the FPS. I ran another test last night in Caucasus, I was getting an avg of 45 to 50 at low level, up high Angels 8+ I get 90+ ftp I think if ED do use some of the new cores it will boost performance majorly but at this stage there is nothing that uses the new cores apart from a few games which are due for release. I will probably order a card in the next few months though :)

I am running a 40" 4k monitoring on a 1080TI, you mentioned you're getting 60 frames per second, I get 40 frames per second with everything maxed out so for an extra 20 frames would you consider it worth the £1300?

I am talking purely as a end user buyer here - Maybe the marketing people at Heat blur should understand what a LIVE stream actually is, LIVE being the optimum word there. not just playing a pre-recorded video. Would have been great if someone could have show even just a takeoff and landing. And Yes I have pre-ordered :) but just was hoping for more than a video to have been played :(

thanks - ill give it a go when i get home :)

Its astonishing how much actual work goes into creating a map. believe me I know :) 1000's of hours work. ED has done a fantastic job with the PG map and its well worth the money. If you think about it this way You take your partner and 2 kids to see a movie at the cinema, that gonna cost you 2 adults at around £13 each, and 2 x kiddies at about £8 So for 2 hours of entertainment that gonna cost you £42 Convert the dollars into pounds and ED want at today's exchange rate £38.48 And you get to spend more than 2 hours in the sim, and also get many updates to the map That's just how the world is mate, you want the best products then you have to pay for them. Thrustmaster Warthog is a fantastic system for the money, i used one for 8 years without issues until i swapped to Virpil stick and throttle. but yes I agree that things can get a little pricey while you are getting yourself setup. But as NineLine said, people don't start with the top end equipment. I personally started with a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback, back in the day and other before hand which i can't remember the name of. My personal opinion :) Cheers Specter

Manners:)

I think there will be a purchase inbound lol

No, I have OB installed for normal, abd another version for development. dont see the point of having Stable installed as things that get broken are fixed quickly in OB I agree since the last update, the A2A isnt that functional at all. I guess its a perspective thing, I am a ground pounder, so dont really car about A2A, others who are A2A focused probably dont care about ground pounding :) its all subjective i guess

While the HARM will be a great addition to the Harnet, its not something that we haven't seen before within DCS, the harrier has the sidearms, which I know are not the same weapon, however the outcome is much the same, the operational range of the HARM is 92 miles, which to me just makes things a little fire and forget with not really any effort A2A at the moment is functional and kinda working, you can take targets out, maybe we just need to get TWS For ground pounding its very very limited at the moment with dumb bombing. I personally would have went with the ATFLIR, as this would allow us to lase for other and open up a new scope of weapons the Hornet hasn't seen yet Thanks Specter

When my Warthog stick snapped, I contacted Thrustmaster and they where not very helpful. I also looked at both VKB and VPC as a replacement, I went with VPC and I found it hard to order a VKB and also the VPC customer services respond to you very quickly. I must say I really like the VPC, the precision is amazing, I went and bought a throttle from them also and let me tell you, WOW Thanks Specter

Hi All I just updated my Stream Deck software to version 3.2 a few days ago and since that time the stream decks stopped working in DCS. I have identified the issue and have informed Elgato. Issue: I have for instance my TCN button in the Hornet mapped to keyboard ALT + T Checking the Elgato hotkey thats also says LAlt + T Pressing the button in cockpit, does absolutely nothing. further testing highlighted that the Elgato 3.2 software update, even though it says that its using a modifier (ALT or CTRL etc) its not passing that as part of the key commands Solution: Downgrade your software to 3.1, I have just done this and all is back and working perfectly 3.1 Download Here: https://gaming.help.elgato.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2793637-elgato-stream-deck-software-release-notes#3.1.bar Cheers Specter

Yes I am experiencing the same problem. Also experienced unable to select 9X - display said 7M0 and wouldn't change - i checked control mappings all ok, re spawned on the boat and was able to select 9X after launch

i agree, although i think we need to stick with realism :) - I am sure the real hornet makes its mind up pretty fast, so maybe ED need to work on that to get it working properly

would be interested to have a chat about this mate - when are you on TS?

I ordered my first Stream Deck just over a week ago, had it for just one day and ordered another one. I have mine setup using images I have cut from the cockpit, for both the 18 and the Harrier. Works really well

excellent they must have fixed it - hadn't checked, thanks for the info
