Bagpipe

Horses for courses applies, I get it. It's not a dogfighter. But was it really this poor? I mean it takes an act of divine intervention to actually tag an enemy fighter let alone several. More often than not in any of the furball missions I am downed within seconds. The DCS Ai doesn't help matters with it's psychotic use of ammunition which basically turns their weaponry into brightly coloured water cannons but it all becomes so much more obvious when flying the Anton. What's the word on the street? EDIT: December 2022 Stop necro-ing this post JEEEEEZ lol When I originally posted this back then I had only SP experience and yeah the instant actions are terrible. Since then, I became a master Anton sergeant and nothing can stop me. Moral of the story, test your modules in multiplayer for realistic representation and learn how to use your aircraft's strengths and weaknesses to your advantage. Helps if you start higher than your opponent if engaging in air to air in the Anton.

Could anybody give me a complete, no fluff list of what is still expected/promised for this module please? I know some of the stuff but I would like an update if possible I will add; I ask because as much as I enjoy flying the Yak occasionally, I don't ever pay enough attention to it or have experience with a real one to compare it to anything and although I have always been fairly content with the state of the module I do appreciate people's efforts to make sure that my modules are as true to life as possible and that they are being supported if not yet complete, especially when there are seemingly better options on other platforms available to me. @Eagle Dynamics It is embarrassing to own the module at present, whether it flies well or not, because ED have chosen to ignore it for so long. I have always held DCS modules aside from the rest, in a league of their own, but to see the way they are handling such a basic module and the community who have invested in it is very upsetting. I bought into it in the hope that they may start churning out more modules like it (civil/trainer types) but if that has not to be the case because not many people invested then just get the guys on it, knock it out the park and be done with it and move on. The constant lingering is deplorable and I do not enjoy bashing ED because I appreciate the mountains they move for us but this is more like a mole hill...

Yeah but now those who bought it are getting pop ups at startup asking for a valid serial number for the campaign... d'oh!

Hmm...I will give that a go. Can't hurt to tidy things up in there and isolate the mods until I get to the bottom of it. I will post again if any change. Thanks BN

Hello helpful forum members, Could somebody have a glance over the attached log and let me know what is going on with my setup. Since recent update or two I have very sporadic, catastrophic crashing occurring which reboots my system. I am obviously concerned my hardware may be to blame as I do not have any overclocks running and everything has been hunky dory for a significantly long time. I can't say I have experienced it outwith DCS though so curious if it is my end or a dcs issue. Many thanks dcs.zip

Come on man, it's over. I offered you a rational explanation for your observation as well as the correct way to file a data based request to change a fundamental element of the sim but you are now just making yourself look silly(er) and trolling my other posts is ridiculously poor form. We can all move on, I won't hold it against you. It was an idea, just not the most pressing one for anybody else. Nobody wins or loses here. It's just a game forum. Have a nice day

Really? I didn't notice there were more modules which did this. I was posting because when I ejected from the spitfire, the body matched the cockpit body and then the next aircraft I flew was the viggen and I thought I would check that out and low and behold it did not match. I thought, given that they spent a lot of time adding the cockpit body, that it may have been a mild oversight to not update their ejected pilot body. It's probably not a lot of work. It's not top priority at all, just something I thought the HB team may not have realized. I know how they like their detail. I am not actually fussed at all I just report these little things as I see them.

I am starting to feel like this guy has just graduated Troll College and is wanting to test out his new skillset. Let's just back away slowly...so as not to trip on any of the branches he is busy knocking off trees! But, genuinely, if you want this to change start gathering the relevant data proving your point. You can't just say "your trees suck, fix them". Give them several real world examples, data driven examples, not just some random YouTube video. Scientific reports showing the effects of clipping different trees at different times of year/growth and what the outcome was for the aircraft and the pilot involved. Determine in your report the exact variables involved in the real world collisions i.e. Type of tree, height of tree, age of tree, did the tree have any signs of disease, angle of impact, speed of aircraft, model of aircraft, parts which collided with tree, engine RPM at time of collision, payload, wind speeds, ambient temperatures, dew point etc. Then the guys at ED can maybe just about simulate with some degree of accuracy what you are asking for.

Sweet, well if you need a tester hit me up

U.....huh

and check your page file size too. Look for a post by bignewy and follow his signature links for performance tips HDD is an issue for loading in times mainly

It shouldn't break anything and if you use JSGME or OVGME you can remove it again in seconds so no biggy. The back catalogue rarely gets updated these days so I wouldn't hold your breath on a quick fix even if it seems simple to you.

Ok so... 1) Not everybody will have disposable income at every stage in their lives. This isn't ED's problem but it would be nice to know they care about the "little guys". 2) Why would you argue against this idea if it literally will not stop you from keeping all liveries installed on your hard drive but enable others to have a more flexible experience? 3) There is a limit to how many hard drives you can physically fit on a system, realistically. So even if they are cheap, the space on them is not an infinite resource to be wasted. 4) The actual development required to enable this is absolutely minimal when they have all of the resources at their disposal already. 5) That's a $50 module sale ED just lost because you had to go buy a hard drive instead... That's my 2 cents. Also... It is a forum, there's no need for personal insults. You lose any argument by default when you stoop to that level.

What purpose would it serve to have the JTAC offer tasking to a viggen out of curiosity? Just so they can lay smoke or something else? Send coordinates maybe?

The ejected pilot body does not match the new cockpit pilot body. (Same as it was before cockpit body was introduced)

Waste not, want not as they say... It's a valid idea which I think ED should consider for sure. For people who do not suffer this problem, just keep the liveries installed. Simples Besides, OP probably re-mortgaged to pay for the flight controls so may not want to invest further in hardware

What i think they mean is put all the official liveries in an online repository, or something like that, and allow as optional downloads. Wouldn't be a bad idea as with all the new modules and terrains we are seeing these days it is getting difficult to juggle the old HD space. Anythnig that saves me 25-30gb of space is welcome any day

3rd post tonight, apologies for that but may aswell get them all up. The Hud raise/lower toggle seems to be a momentary action instead of a toggle. I.e. When I press the binding with the glass lowered, it raises until i let go of the binding and vice versa. Is this how it should be funcitoning?

At some point the radar filter dial has changed behaviour from a dial you could wind to your preferred blend of red/green to one which if you dial it even slightly it, basically, acts as a switch and goes from 100% green through to 100% red with no mid-ground. Was this intentional? I don't like it this way

@IronMike If you place the Vigg on a runway start in the darker hours (06:30 on 01/04/1971 at Batumi) the cockpit lighting is turned off making it a bit of a fumble looking for your flashlight in order to find the dials to turn the lighting up. Please don't miss this in your next big update for the module, it's not a difficult one. Cheers guys EDIT: tested 0600 and 0530 with no lighting but 0500 did have it on so may be a DCS issue but worth checking it out none the less i guess

Cheers, also just realized it was 2020! Just call me the necromancer lol

could you change your video so that it is not listed as "made for kids" that way I can save it and watch later. Needing inspired to dive deeper with the vigg

@Eagle Dynamics Refunds for all who purchased previous to it becoming free please. I will accept a credit note

May not seem like a big deal but this module is missing the Arcade Chase View i.e. Shift + F4 by default. Surely an easy fix right? Is it an ED issue?

Yes, but still within the realms of possibility. Prob won't happen but all I am saying is it could happen if the devs chose to make it so
