Maybe sales numbers are low

Hit the "g" key after takeoff

Yes, both of these help. Thanks much.

This behavior seems to be fixed in the open beta, at least in other missions. I haven't tested this specific one.

Hello. Can someone point me to where I can have separate image quality settings that DCS launches with depending on if I'm in VR or using my monitor? Not sure if that's possible, and didn't immediately find anything using a quick search here.

Explains to us as if there are no huge bugs in Stable that break some of the paid content. Oh, wait...

Aren't all the campaigns broken in Stable too, due to the AI taxiing into everything?

Stable: campaigns broken due to AI taxiing into everything OB: campaigns broken due to AI invulnerable Which do you suggest?

I moved to OB because the campaigns were (and still are?) broken on Stable. Don't pretend like everything works there either.

I was finally able to complete it using many of the tactics explained above, however I found the wingman to be more helpful than many other people here, for some reason. Yes, he got shot down a lot, but at least after telling him to go after air defenses, he helped by getting rid of one or two emplacements before dying. In this specific mission, I had to lead him into the valley before making the order, or else he wouldn't see them.

Is this change in effective range reflected in when the double-circle appears in the HUD?

Huh. I thought it was my imagination when I played one of the instant action missions that comes with the free Extra 540 mod, which takes place when the sun is low (not sure if it is morning or evening), and I thought the lighting looked unlike anything I've seen before in DCS. It really did look great. I'm not sure if it's related, or what was actually changed.

Thanks - I'm pretty sure. It's one of the three switches above the ILS freq panel, right? I put all three to M during startup, and the dial to "square". I was reading up on the L-39s - they only have heat-seeking missiles correct? What's the best way to counter those? I have two radar-guided missiles as well as heat-seeking ones, so should I avoid close maneuvers with them?

How do I approach the dogfight, outnumbered 2-1? I am getting shot down. I also tried to make a mission in the editor, with two L-39s on a different side than me, but in the resulting mission they don't engage and just keep flying straight. I need to practice in a quick mission because flying for an hour before the fight starts each time isn't a good way to get better. Also, when I'm shot down, I get no warning at all, and thus can't release countermeasures. Am I not supposed to get an audio warning? It's not a good feeling to just explode immediately without knowing I was even fired upon. I'm new at the mission editor obviously but if it's too much to troubleshoot why mine won't engage, if someone can upload a mission with a Mirage vs two L-39s with air-to-air capabilities, that would be amazing. I've got all maps except for the new Channel one. Edit - a nice user sent me his mission that allows me to dogfight L-39s on demand.

I see. Thanks!

Often in campaigns I see radio frequencies listed as "Element", which is often a different frequency than "Main" or "Mission". What is Element?

This page worked for me: http://virtualairrace.com/edge-540-mod/

Which map? Need to know if I should buy the new one.

I'm single-player only - are there confirmed campaigns for the new map? Otherwise it's not worth the expenditure for me. But if there are any good campaigns for it, 100% chance I will purchase it.

I just played mission 9, which includes a vehicle on the taxiway, and the AI pilot behaved beautifully behind him. I'm on the latest OB.

:doh: Both of those things are good

Anyone?

Oh, yes, the vertical FoV is a thing. That explains why I had to ratchet up the pitch axis curve in the TrackIR software vs the other axes.

Is it though? With the restricted FoV? The FoV on my ultrawide monitor better replicates what a real pilot would see vs any of the mainstream scuba goggles VR headsets. As is the ability to see my own hands. We each have pros/cons when it comes to replicating realism.

Oh, I have to have all of the disadvantages too? Well never mind then! But I still prefer TrackIR in DCS. We're all just simulating in different ways anyway. I don't walk around real life feeling like I'm wearing a scuba mask all day.
