[Shortcut for the loadout window]

For the MiG-21, the default key is . (period) instead of Left Alt + '.

 

Addition to Burger's post: at point 1, substitute 'Blue' with your coalition ;)

[Placing A/C for takeoff on URKG or URKN wind is not accounted for]

IIRC some airfields only allow takeoffs in one direction, and landings in the other (e.g. Sochi Adler)

[Seeing who is around from the old day of LOMAC]

Joined the club with Flanker 2.0, set up the Dutch Flanker Display Team in 2001, and still going strong.

Not Block 50, but I thought I'd share some nice F-16 pictures:

[Real life aviation experience of DCS simmers]

Glider student here with 59 logged winch starts on an ASK-21 at the moment.

Since I couldn't find a suitable option, I didn't vote.

[Why are player aircraft sinking below terrain on landing.]

This has been mentioned somewhere else on this forum, the solution for most was to remove all mods, and then clean and repair your DCS.

[Falling through ground randomly.]

I also had this problem, but solved it using instructions in this post:

 

falling through ground in multiplayer #16

 

Haven't had the problem afterwards.

[falling through ground in multiplayer]

Had this issue again twice this evening.

Took off in a MiG-21 in the PG map and crashed.

Spawned again, and fell through the ground.

 

Restarted DCS and made a successful flight (again with the MiG-21) and was even able to land.

After a hot refuel on the platform, I throttled up to start taxiing again, and fell through the ground.

After that, DCS crashed (a DXDiag crash report is on its way to ED).

 

Please fix this, it is making the game unplayable.

[falling through ground in multiplayer]

Just started to have this as well, in the harrier on a multiplayer server.

Fell through the ground on landing, then DCS crashed.

Restarted DCS, and after that, any aircraft I entered fell through the ground before DCS crashed again.

[Army-2019 Kubinka AFB]

Your pictures aren't working.

 

I also visited the show, and had a great time there, despite the weather.

 

Here are some of my pictures from Kubinka, still going through the post editing process...

[Set number of pilots?]

IIRC it defines who can transfer (or take) control of the aircraft.

 

If for example it is set to Instructor, the instructor can take control without asking the student first.

[Virtual Festival Of Aerobatic Teams 2018]

I plan on putting up a screen with a live feed on our stand at the Houten Digitaal fair.

Let's hope our internet connection is fast enough.

[Belgium Airforce Days 2018 - anyone going?]

Had great fun with several guys from the Dutch/Flemish 'Combatflight' DCS community.

 

The Su-27 was one of the highlights for us.

 

[How to set up toggle switches (a tutorial)]

If there is only a toggle, you could do something like this:

 

{down = iCommandPlaneAHCPHUDModeDayNight, up = iCommandPlaneAHCPHUDModeDayNight,name = _('HUD Mode switch Day/Night ON/OFF sw'), category = _('Armament HUD Control Panel')},

 

This will toggle between day and night when you flick the switch.

Only drawback is that the state can be reversed based on the position of the switch when you enter your plane.

[IL 76]

You can also take out all the engines and turn it into a giant glider.

[Belgium Airforce Days 2018 - anyone going?]

I will be there, as are most of the DFDT team.

 

Let's hope the weather plays nice, last year at Sanicole it was a bit wet...

[Ejected and landed player pilot is still controllable.]

Too bad downed pilots aren't synced in multiplayer though

[IDEA: DCS EU get-together]

Axalp is great indeed. Never been there myself (yet) but going by stories and videos of previous events.

Only drawback there is that they cancel quite often due to bad weather, either on the mountain, or at Meiringen Airbase in the valley.

 

For a list of all the showdates in Europe, check the link below:

I'm visiting Radom this year, and some shows in the Netherlands (Texel) and Belgium (Kleine Brogel).

[IDEA: DCS EU get-together]

Well, there is the Radom Airshow in Poland this year, which might be interesting.

[IDEA: DCS EU get-together]

Would there be any DCS flying involved, or only beer? ;)

 

I'm all for an event where we can fly missions together all weekend!

Greek F-16 scorching the runway at Gilze-Rijen Airbase on takeoff, showing the power of an afterburner

 

The F-16 on the second picture in my other post had a leak in the fuel line to the afterburner.

Sometimes the fuel just oozed out, like in this picture

[The Jet Engine thread]

Got some afterburner pics for you :)

 

This is what an afterburner flame should look like (Belgian F-16AM taking off from Volkel Airbase during an exercise)

 

This is what it definately should NOT look like (it failed a few minutes after I took this picture)

[Tidbit from the RUS Forum I found interesting]

They have been talking about an F-16 as far back as 2005, when the Ka-50 was still planned as an addon to Lockon.
