In the middie of the desert? What you can find there to boresight? Waiting for some more populated map.

It works just fine. The issue is on OP's side, check what NineLine said. f-16_dogfight_mode_vertical_scan.trk

There is an issue with the interior lighting. Sun illuminates all the sides of the buildings from inside like bunkers, hangars, in short every where is possible to be in. I thought it was just on one particular airport, but then I went checking, and I noticed that's on all the same. There is another thing, the shadows on the objects which are inside of the hangars, are visible from outside of the hangars. I'm not really sure if this lighting thing is just on this map, I remember seeing it on every map in DCS, just not to that extent. ps: and grass inside the gangars, which I dount its there IRL.

Never tried that, but I would say that since DCS is still just a game and thus does not simulate the drift and inaccuracies over time, you can always do a Stored heading instead of Normal Gyrocompass alignment. I know I always do, and it always work. IRL the Stored alignment as said, it would result in drift and inaccuracies over time, and it should only be used in emergency situations. But DCS does still not simulate all the things about alignment, so you should no worry about that. To make sure the alignment will be done correctly while using Stored heading, you can verify, but do not enter, the latitude, longitude, altitude, and true heading for that particular starting location. And if the alignement is successful, on DED the alignment status will count down to 10, RDY will be displayed, and you ALIGN will start flashing on the HUD.

What do you mean with autostart? Do you HOT start the aircraft (all set and ready to fly)? If so, then the alignment is already done and you don't need to do it again by your self. If not, if you are in so COLD start (aircraft with no power and shut down), then you have to do the alignment process one way on another (so or choosing Stored Heading or Normal alignment)

No, you don't need to enter anything, you just simply rotate that Inertial Navigation System Selector Switch to STOR HDG position, and wait until alignment counts down to 10 and RDY appears beside it on the DED (and at the same time ALIGN starts to flesh on the left bottom corner of the HUD. This whole process only takes around 90 seconds. But you have to make sure the plane does not move, not even for an inch, you are not allowed rearm your jet either, else alignment can get screwed. If its get screwed, just put the Inertial Navigation System Selector Switch (that knob) to OFF and back to STOR HDG position. You only have to confirm coordinated while doing the Normal alignement, and you have to do that in the 1st 2 minutets when initiating it.

On Uncage switch? I would also LOVE to have that "shortcut", because I remember how many times I panicked, when I needed guns instantly, and was clicking like a madman on the MFD, and many times I couldn't clicked the correct button in that short period of time.

Would it be possible to get more real looking explosions of the planes we have in DCS? Specially bigger. I would say the enormity of the explosion depend mostly on the amount of fuel left in tanks. Example1 Example2 Example3 Example4 Example5

Switch works fine, just the left-right mouse clicks are not working the way as 3 positional switch works on DCS's F-16 (right click to move swich only forward, and left click to move the switch only backward).

"AFAIK, HOTAS for Strafe (STRF) is a OFP M5.1+ update, which this versions of the USAF F-16C block 50 would not get until 2010 or later. Our DCS versions is a USAF 2007 version roughly M4.2+."

Not sure if this is a bug or it is designed that way, but since it's a 3-position switch, I would assume, the right mouse clicks moves switch always forward, while left mouse clicks should move switch always backward. Now it is not wokring like a usual 3 or more positional switch. Now when switch is forward (on ON position), left click moves the switch to OFF, you can hear that double movement of the switch ("click-click"), but it moves just by one position. If you press right mouse click you can only hear one "click", but I would assume, right mouse click should do nothing more , but to stay there, when in ON position.

If I would, and would have been shot at, I wouldn't be seating here now Seriously, ED is aware of that, and has that in mind for a very long time, its just not on their priority list atm, and I agree, there are way more serious and necessary things to fix.

Did you do a cold start? If so, when did you put the MIDS LVT switch to on? You must only put it to on, when GPS alignemnt is done, you see that by pressing the button 6 (TIME) on the IPC, and in the left upper corner must be written GPS SYSTEM (if there is no GPS the alignment is not done yet).

@NineLine since there is quite some portion of Pakistan included into the full map, will there be any airports included from Pakistan as well? Or maybe any airports from the northern countries?

Yee, indeed. 1st map with no water, at least not salt one.

I would say the same as Syria or SA, so around 70-80GB. The whole fully detailed version I mean. I am really looking forward to this map, looks stunning, and very versatile.

Amazing, thx for the clarification. So I am asking @NineLine if he can open up this closed thread, so we can continue on with a constructive conversation: There are quite some evidences gathered, and some still might be added.

I switched to DLAA yesterday, which causes some shimmering on moving objects (at the back of them), but its not that bad as in DLSS. I tired only on monitor, have to test it in VR today as well, specially regarding performance, in comparision to MSAA.

I would like to know just one thing, is there or is there not a real correlation between datalink contact and FCR contact, regarding its location (X,Y,Z) so FCR know exactly about which contact is getting the info from Datalink? If not, then ED is right, if yes, then I don't see any reason why FCR would create its only picture of contacts and therefore firing solutions (appropriate color desigantion of System and Bugged targets).

Another thread which will be closed. I can do a track tomorrow, but if someone is willing to do a decent example, please go ahead.

By ED's standards unfortunately is does. We tried numerous of times to tell them that, but so far with no luck

Amazing. Now try to air refueling, you will change your mind

great that we all know what was wrong.

Wwhats ctd, cumulative trauma disorder? -- Seriously: works fine here (remove all the mods and do the repairment of the game).
