I'm having the same problem. Hot start on the CV, request landing, atc answered, LSO talked to me behind the boat...hook is down. But, I have done pass after pass in the last hour (many of them quite respectable) and can't catch a single wire. Bolter, bolter, and bolter again. The odds seem against missing the wires that many times in a row.

Nothing at all from Heatblur in this patch?
-
I notice that there is nothing from HB listed in today's changlog. I hope maybe that just means that HB didn't get their list of changes to ED in time (as often happens). If you can't give us anything else, at least keep some nice new liveries on hand to give us during an "empty" month.

The new ROK skin for the CH-47F looks great...however, the skin's name is "Republic of Korea Army (JGSDF)" Koreans will be very surprised and unhappy to know that they are part of the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force

I was also really looking forward those, I expected they would be in this month's patch

[RESOLVED] Jester won't finish INS alignment?
ShinyMikey replied to Hog_driver's topic in Bugs & Problems
Good, maybe they just didn't get the changelog in (as happens more often than not) -
Fps loss 50% near water/sea and drawing of fences
ShinyMikey replied to maks's topic in Bugs and Problems
Same problem, in north eastern East Germany looking north in the direction of the sea. 30-40FPS drop, but if I turn my head in another direction its back to normal FPS. -
The release candidate is already in testing for launch, it isn't going to be a long wait. "Later in 2025" is just a non specific date they are giving for now. I feel like the cold war map will release this month, probably in the next couple of weeks. I think ED wants to get this map out first as it will build hype for the FF Mig-29A which I believe was scheduled for quarter two of 2025.

This is a 1980s map. The vast vast majority of units we have in DCS fit this map in this time period.

No updates in today's (3/20) patch? Didn't see anything from Heatblur in the patch notes.
-
I bought the Mig-29 years ago and only flew it a few times (I bought it individually, not as part of flaming cliffs). Today I felt like setting it up and trying it out again, so I put down a Mig-29A and a Mig-29S in my mission (all the Mig-29s are in yellow on my list indicating that I own them), set them to client, and loaded the mission. However when I try to choose them from the "choose slot" screen and then press "fly"...nothing, it just stays in an external view of an AI aircraft that is in the air. Neither Mig-29 will load. I went into my DLC list on steam and uninstalled and reinstalled the Mig-29, but I got the same thing. I definitely own the plane, but can't seem to get into the cockpit.

Heatblur Simulation official patchnotes
ShinyMikey replied to Hrundel Slushkov's topic in Heatblur Simulations
HB never answered this? I guess there were just no updates for any HB modules in the patch.. -
I really want to see this in the game...seems like we have been waiting for the AI A6E for years (because we have)

December Kola Map Update - Coming Soon!
ShinyMikey replied to Marina's topic in Orbx Simulation Systems
My group and I are big fans of the Kola map! I've been waiting for Bardufoss, great news! -
I'd like more info on how this will work in MP. If the option to enable/disable the new deck crew is only in the special options menu, then what happens when some players using the carrier have if enabled and some have it disabled? I would like there to be a checkbox when I place the carrier in the mission editor, just like there is for enabling the airboss station. That way I could just put in two carriers; one with the new deck crew (for those who want the realism), and one without (for those who don't want the hassle and want to park wherever they want and use whichever cat they want). I think for MP having it as an option that can be turned on or off on each individual carrier would be a good way to do it.
-
I am also very curious about the mission editor options. I make missions for my group, and I feel like we will want this disabled for our MP missions. The options shown in the video looked like they would be in the special options menu, but there needs to be settings in the mission options menu in the mission editor so it can be turned off for everyone. I may enjoy this in single player, but in MP it will be much more convenient to park where we want and use whichever cat we want. Also, the Tomcat is my primary plane so I hope works equally well for all carrier aircraft.

Post your favorite F14 Screenshots here!
ShinyMikey replied to Matic_Prime's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
I really enjoy your skins, I'm always excited when you post a new set! -
There have been 4 VF-1 liveries for the F-14A from the beginning, no VF-84 skins (although we have the VF-103 variety of the Jolly Rogers for the "B"). There are several other squadrons that we need default skins for, like VF-114, VF-2, VF-51, and VF-213

DCS is not going to fullscreen after the hotfix today. The first time I loaded up DCS the windows taskbar was still showing at the bottom of the screen. I confirmed that "fullscreen" was still selected on the options page. I tried opening another window and the alt+tabbing out and back. I turned off fullscreen on the options page, reloaded, then reselected fullscreen...all no help. I selected the "auto hide taskbar" option in windows, and "confine curser to game screen" in DCS, and this partially helps but sometimes the taskbar still comes up when I move the curser to the bottom of the screen, and if I turn off the "auto hide taskbar" option then the taskbar stays visible and is clickable. I seem to have totally lost the fullscreen mode. This has never been a problem before. When I was playing yesterday it was working fine, but today after the hotfix this problem has started.

F-14 TACAN does not work at long distances
ShinyMikey replied to Riclourenco's topic in Bugs and Problems
I have the same problem. Usually in MP and usually on the Syria map especially. I don't pick up the boat's tacan until I get with 10~15nm. I have to find the boat by using the recovery tanker's tacan (which works fine from a distance), or setting my datalink to the boat which puts the symbol on my TID. -
Had this same issue today. Didn't seem to be a problem yesterday, today's flight was from a cold start...not sure if that had any affect on it.
