Usually it's the modders that have to keep their mods updated to ensure compatibility with DCS as DCS gets updated - not the other way round.

Check the fusebox to the right of the seat. The Landeklappen one is the one you want to set to 'on' (the one for the landing gear, etc, should be in that box as well).

Agreed! And you can see the underlying structure of the Anton when the sheet metal is shot - very impressive modeling! :thumbup:

Could be all kind of things - maybe they don't feel comfortable posting in ENG as they're Russian developers? Maybe they don't have English-speaking representation (yet)? Maybe they're already active on the Russian side of the DCS forum and we're not aware on this end? :) But yes, I overall still believe that Ugra 'owes' us at least that Normandy VR improvement that ED is doing for their own in-house developed maps, which would be a huge boost in trusting Ugra down the line for their products. I remain hopeful...

We don't know if Ugra developed the Syria map with 'lessons learned' from Normandy and have vastly improved on what they were able to achieve in terms of optimization for it. Personally, I will get Syria as soon as it's available due to the interesting theater of war, giving them the benefit of doubt that they have improved as map developers compared to what they have achieved with Normandy...

Is that all still based on SpeedTree tech, or something new and different?

Could you shed some light on what exactly these VR performance optimizations for these maps are? (I guess that's what I should have asked to begin with). :)

Has this been fixed in 2.5.5? (still downloading so I haven't checked yet)...

Could you shed some light on what exactly these VR enhancements are? Curious what's changing under the hood in DCS once those are implemented. Thanks.

Love that sound of the BWM radial engine! Still waiting for my DCS update to finish - so thanks for sharing.

It's not really an "issue" with the plane, is it? It takes some skill and practice instead. :thumbup:

I assume that the Anton requires the stick to be pulled all the way back to lock the tail wheel, just like the Dora does? If so, you should be able to have a much more controlled takeoff run that way.

The Russian side is always a good way to find out, esp. when Chizh posts something: source: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3937165&postcount=18798

Genau. Ich glaube die meisten von uns sind wohl damals auf PC mit Falcon 3 so richtig ins Flugsimhobby gerutscht, und das ging dann heiter weiter mit Falcon 4. Natürlich gab es auch viele andere geniale Simulationen seinerzeit, u.a. von Microprose, Janes und SSI, aber - zumindest für mich - hat sich die F-16 durch die Falcon-Reihe ins Gehirn gebrannt... Darum ist es auch für mich das non-plus-ultra in DCS wenn das Modul auskommt. :thumbup: (Natürlich war auch meine Wohnlage damals i.d. Nähe zu Bitburg und Spangdahlem hilfreich, die F-16 häufig in echt zu sehen (und auch mal im Cockpit zu sitzen) sehr prägend). ;)

Agreed! :thumbup:

Totally a Fresnel lens - good find. Might be useful in the cockpit to magnify the AMPCD's image to enhance readability I guess.

Welcome to the world of immersion - VR is the absolute game changer in simulation gaming. :thumbup:

Same here. And knowing ED, their pricing will be moderately low as usual.

Right, it's a different variant in the end if you want those functionality upgrades. So you either stick with the current variant we already have and get 2019 graphics model updates for free - which is already fantastic, or, you purchase the new variant that "[...]consist of new functions such as Igla air-to-air missiles and missile warning systems with infrared missile jamming systems[...]" All good in my book.

And thanks for that! :thumbup:

You don't have to pay at all - the graphics update is free as stated in the newsletter.

Exactly my sentiment (even though I had quietly hoped for a Kamov Ka-50N or Kamov Ka-50Sh variant). :thumbup:

My Monstertech MTX Sim Rig (still missing TM MFD mounts for the center aluminum profile for it to be complete); great for VR as well.
