  1. I all, I made a comeback to DCS yesterday evening after 6 weeks off. Obviously some updates got installed before I could take off with my Mirage. I was surprised to see that any command was assigned to my hotas trigger, which I usually used for weapon release... And I could not find back the Fire Control (or whatever the name) in the list of command. Only found a command named "Canon trigger" which didn't help. Did I miss some recent changes on the hotas commands? Since I only had little time to play, I quickly gave up and went to destroy some bombers on IL2 instead...
  2. Well, here I am. I own an HMD Odyssey +, and I am relatively happy with it. I manage to get decent c.a. 45 fps at 150% res in SteamVR. However the clarity is not optimal, the head tracking is not perfect (perfect for rotations but lateral translations are very poorly detected), and it is not super comfortable. So I am thinking to maybe change googles. Unfortunately I can't afford a Vive or a Reverb G2 so far, but I could get a second hand Reverb G1. How good would that be with my pc (see the spec below)? The Quest 2 seems quite good for resolution and clarity, but I read it is shit for colours, especially blacks. Is that really annoying compare to the nice Odyssey colours? Don't know if the Rift S offers a significant uplift compare to the Odyssey +... Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome Ryzen 5600X Radeon RX 5700 XT 32 GB RAM SDD DRIVE HMD Odyssey +

    BAP-100?

    Hmm ok, looks like the BAP rack can only be fixed in central position. I'll double check, I guess didn't look correctly...

    BAP-100?

    Hi all, I yesterday decided to test the new BAP-100 anti-runway bomb. So I created very quickly a simple mission, but I could not find see the BAP-100 in the list of available bomb to be loaded. What am I missing? Thanks
  5. Bah that was too obvious for my tired brain... Thanks Kercheiz
  6. Hi folks, How is working the fast alignment option for the mirage? I ticked on the option, but only played few times on Liberation since. And, well, the alignment still takes around 8 minutes. Is that only working when playing online, or do I need to something special to do in the cockpit? Thanks
  7. OK thanks :). I know that the French Air Force don't have Helmet mounted display, but this one being just a repetition of the VTB independent of the head position and orientation, I just thought 'ok, maybe it exist...' Then I prefer not using it.
  8. Hi folks, Just out of curiosity, does someone know how pilots activate the sun visor VTB view in real life? Is there a button for that in the cockpit, or maybe on the helmets? Thanks
  9. A Super Mystere would be perfect opponent for the Mig 19 I think. But I am afraid I’ll never get it in dcs…

    ECM - PCM Mode

    Thanks Jojo, Yes that's what I do, just place the ECM mode selector in the centre and toogle the jammer on and off. Never used the PCM. I read somewhere the PCM mode is supposed to be a stronger jammer that also mess up your own radar signal, so I was curious to know if it works as intended

    ECM - PCM Mode

    Quick questions dear pilots: 1 - Is the PCM electronic counter measure implemented? And if yes is it really useful? 2 - I'd like to map on my hotas two buttons to increment - decrement the selected CM program, but I could not find the command to do that. Am I blind? Thanks for helping
  12. Hi folk, I am back to the mirage after a long break I always uses CCIP doing dive bombing. But with the CCIP system update I realized that I shall rather go low and leveled. However I am struggling a bit to make it work... What are the best parameters to make a nice CCIP, i.e. height above target, speed, pitch? Thanks!
  13. Yeah I think I will re-paste it and try again this evening. I’ll let you know.
  14. Hi all, Just out of curiosity, what’s your cpu temperature when flying in dcs? Just got a Ryzen 5600X. Good but running at 85C, roughly and in average. I am wondering if that’s safe…

    SAM ammunition

    Interesting anime DocHawkeye. What is it?
  16. Were they efficient? According to wikipedia they were good match for the Arabian Mig-19.
  17. ...not only because I am French. Also because it is beautiful and was very capable https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Super_Mystère

    Nice maneuver Skysurfer!

    SAM ammunition

    I didn't try that sneaking method yet, but I will! Lot of fun indeed. Do you take some AI wingmen with you when you do that?
  20. +1 Training at refueling with my F-16, I realized that there is no collision between the probe and the canopy. Quite unrealistic. I think that should be implemented. However, there is collision between the tail and the probe. That owed my some nice crashes...

    SAM ammunition

    Scaring. Looks like in reality SA-10 sites are impossible to destroy... Unless you send Rambo to cut the power cable...

    SAM ammunition

    Good to know. I am also somehow stuck with SA-10 in Liberation. Had been thinking to send out a curtain of 16 cheap F4 to deplete that annoying SA-10 so I could quietly storm it. More seriously, about Liberation, it would be interesting to have expensive ammo included in the economic system. I guess those SAMs are quite expensive, maybe more than cheapest planes, hellos or ground units...

    SAM ammunition

    Hi all. I am just wondering, do SAM launcher have limited ammunition? For ex. SA-10 launchers have four tubes, so I guess four missiles. Let say a site has four launchers, it should be limited to 16 missiles (enough to decimate my forces...). Is that the case in DCS, or can they shoot endlessly? Thanks
  24. Hi, Another question about Liberation Campaign, So yesterday I took off for a DEAD mission, willing to destroy a small Sa-6 site. Well, I was disappointed to see that the station never turned on its system. No active radar, so no HARM possibilities. I flew around and above at different level many times, and nothing. I finally strafed the radar... Is that a known problem with SAMs? Also, the stupid two F16 of my escort flight efficiently protected me at the beginning, but then flew away after more distant targets until they crashed for no reason. I guess because of fuel... How can the AI be stupid enough for not taking care of fuel/bingo? Cheers,
