    make night sky more realistic, including milky way

    While you’re not going to get anything close to the image you posted ( which is a time exposure, BTW) have you tried this mod?

    It makes quite a difference. I’ve tweaked it further to make flying at night even more to my liking. It’s fun to play around with and makes the constellations much more noticeable.

    Althoguh it looks better, it does break IC. So no thx.

    How does radar work during A-G mode

    in DCS: F-16C Viper

    I think you misunderstood what the issue is here.

    no matter where the nose is pointed it will always scan the ground, when in some cases it is not physically possible to turn the antenna to the ground while the nose is pointed 85 degrees up. Like in this image:

    Screen_250825_214941.jpgScreen_250825_214938.jpg

    What do you mean it always scans the ground? This can't be, radar doesn't know what the ground is. It is scanning what the radar sees in it's the gimbal limits (120deg vertical and horizontal), and no matter where the aircraft is pointing. And based on what is sees, it maps on the MFD. If sky, it's all black, same as the sea, all else has some different gray color variations. 

    The question is where is the radar pointed when in Ground mode?! In A2A you can manually set where does it look, by changing elevation, but in the A2G? Is it pointed straight ahead, is it level with the aircraft, or is it pointing downwards, towards the ground, if so whats the angle (based on level flight, or based on aircraft direction) - before applying any filters?

    Maybe @RogueSpecterGaming can exapin in more professional way. 

    HARM in HAD mode with HTS pod issue

    in Bugs and Problems

    Posted · Edited by skywalker22

    In HAD mode with HTS pod, it indeed does find it's target, but always precision factor PGM goes straight to max accuract (5) and it drops from 5 to 2, and stays at 2. The harm still finds the target with pin point precision. There must be something wrong with F-16 HARM system, and how it shows up the precision number.

    Not sure which fault is it, but it seems thats on F-16 side and its HTS system. And it's the same with any radar that HTS is detecting.

    F-16 System Failures

    I've personally seen TGP, INS, and I've had the elec sys caution light come on because I ran the jet on battery power only for too long. But it is randomized so you might or might not get any failures. The battery one should be all the time if only battery is on but maybe one day.

    How often failures occur IRL? I know a lot depends on maintenance, but still, some random failures which you can't predict. F-16 is pretty robust and very perfected aircraft, so I would guess random failures are very very rare.

    VR in DCS is AMAZING (my mind is blown away)

    in DCS 2.9

    Posted

    Indeed, VR is next level. I have Quest PRO, but still for some more serious flying I still use TrackIR, and thats because of head turning. I just can't turn as much or as fast or even that often in VR as with TrackIR. Else, experience in VR is stunning indeed. The only complaint is that the graphics are still not as sharp in VR yet. I have VR for almost 3 years now, constantly trying to tweak and use any kind of trick there is, but still missing that image sharpness which we can have with a 2d monitor. Maybe this vr headset that I use (or any other which are available atm), are just not good enough yet. But anyway, user experience is another level. 

    I also want to point out that I drive car racing sims (Le Mans Ultimate atm), where the images seems to be way sharper and clearer then in DCS, and also the whole experience seems to be better just because of that. And with the same VR settings for both games (in openXR toolkit and Oculus Try Tool). In LMU I just can't drive cars in 2d anymore.

    Anyway, enjoy VR, I know love it. 

    Randomized weapons failures

    Well, looking at all the bug reports of all the modules in DCS, we already have random-like failures.

    Yee, but not like the ones OP proposed 🤣

    Aside weapons random failure (released missiles/rockets not firing, bombs not expolding), would be also good to have radom failures on aircrafts them selfs. There in a feature in the optinos to turn on/off radom failures, but in reality I didn't encounter any so far on any of it.

    This is quite the surprise!

    A6M5b?It's A6M5cHero2.png.49a0e24e1a65cea15e499746590f361e.png

    This is definitely a C. 

    The main difference among both of them is, that C has 2 cannons on each wing, while B has only one.

    C would also come in handy, because it has additionally 4 racks for rockets or smaller bombs on both wings.

    FPS expectations?

    in Bugs and Problems

    Posted

    In VR? If not in VR, then is something wrong with your configuration. But it's still very strange that there is such a huge difference between these 2 maps. Do you have any other map, if so, how is the fps there? Which 14th gen do you have btw?

    I have the same gpu as you do, but I have amd 9800x3d, and I have no issues what so ever. Also in VR, locked on 72fps.

    And I'm running undervolted gpu with settings 0.925mV @ 2600MHz, and memory clock +800Mhz.

    If you are using DLSS then add the below line to your C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg file to set the DLSS preset, this is still C by default. You will need to create this file if it does not already exist. This uses the latest presets which will reduce some blurriness/ghosting. The second line is optional but means that DLSS will not be applied to your MFDs or HUD to reduce the ghosting that DLSS can introduce on those. 

    DLSS_Preset = 'K'
HUD_MFD_after_DLSS = true

     

    I doubt this will salve the issue we are facing here. I have the same issue as OP does, in VR on on 2d monitor. Although the picture is more clearer on the monitor then on VR, and using exactly the same graphics settings. The plane at cca 500-1000m away from me, seem like its all black, it looses on the colors, and its shape as well. I kind of excepted, thats the way it just is. But now when someone brough this up, seems that we have to dig a bit deeper.

    Adding ILS to East German Airbases for Modern Scenarios

    I understand, but unfortunately that’s a very unsatisfying solution, since everyone would have to make changes manually.

    Thats the most you can do atm unfortunatelly. Just put the ILS lines at the end of the beacon.lua file, and send the file to others. Don't forget to make a backup copy of the original file copy as well.

    Modifying that file will surely break IC in most of the other servers, but you can set your own server up without the IC.

    It's not a hard task to do.
