Its because some of the folder structure of DCS pertaining to the comms has changed and the VAICOM installer hasn't caught up yet. You need to manually edit the files.

Does it matter which Search Radar you use? The Fan Song is the Tracking Radar, right? I got it to fire at me! Five launchers, a Fan Song, a P-19 and a CP (that also has a radar) all set to excellent skill. The missiles missed. But they shot at me hard and fast! yay!

Anybody got the mew SA-2 to fire yet?

Hi guys, I have been flying a lot of the mirage lately, doing the excellent campaign missions. In the course of the campaign the IFF system is briefly mentioned. The kneeboard gives an IFF code for each mission. Now next to the code dials are two selector knobs, left and right. I know you need to turn the right okkne one click to activate the code. But the knobs are not explained. Not in the manual, not in Chucks guide, nowhere. So what ere these settings? What do they do? Cheers, thanks in advance.

Nice!

Huh. I was impatient and while I did get the manpad to fire (and miss) I did not wait for Coton to bomb it and blasted it myself with my rockets. The voice work went on like Coton hit. Later on I flew into a target killing my stupid self, so I'll refly later. Did have to delete the parked c130 on the north eastern end of the field too to get two to take off.

I also had the intial problem with M7, and put in the version you offer for download. Wingman taxied and took off, heavies did not get in a tangle. Nice! Version control must be a female dog on a project as complex and multisourced as DCS. Cheers for your good natured patience @baltic dragon. :salute:

I want it! Have you looked into using oculus tracking camera for tracking?

I agree that the Mirage is darker and harder to read than any other module. But looking at that picture, it is also authentic. I wouldn't mind a cockpit livery mod that has more legible fonts for the button and knob labels tho. Very hard to make out wether the radio is in P, M or A mode. Let alone the IFF selector.

The VAICOM installer is currently broken. The Radiothinger.lua is no longer in the /scripts/ folder but in /scripts/radiothingamibob/radiothinger.lua I had to do the manual .lua hackery install. Thing does seem to work fine. Is there a log file somewhere I can check to see if the thing is OK?

Against the MiG-15 you are the boom n zoom energy fighter. So don't be afraid to do a brave sir robin after a pass and unload, run away and then climb to make another pass. At angels 30 the MiG is a wallowing pig. You are less so. Don't even think about saddling up. You can't follow if he decides to take his bucking seriously. Slash and extend. Repeat until done.

Hell no, look at the comment thread to that mod. It's old, crusty and rusty and doesn't seem maintained at all. So go ahead and make a few bucks on this :D

A picture tells more than a thousand words: "And that son, is how little hogs get made. These things just have no concept of shame." "Eh, what happens in France, stays in France, ammirite? don't ask, don't tell."

I wear glasses but they are not very strong (slightly nearsighted, -1.5) and I just wear my rift without 'em. No problems at all. My GF who has strong glasses (like -7 or so) must wear glasses in the rift if she wants to see. Be sure to ask your optimetrist to measure your IPD (interpupillary distance) as having that set right makes a lot of difference to VR. Even if your glasses are so strong you can't use VR without 'em, get some custom made lenses for your oculus. Flying in VR is revolutionary, far beyond what trackIR brought to the game.

Sorry to bust your bubble kid, but even if your position is akin to a schoolyard bully, a real warrior will respect his opponent. Be aware of his capabilities and take great care not to underestimate them. The IRIAF is not a little nerd you can just shove in a locker. He can and will punch back.

I just flew the 2v2 BFM vs the MiG-15 brothers. Yes that was a challenging fight. Doing a technical boom & zoom (ie don't try to turn & burn with them) made pretty darn short work of them though. He can turn real good, but not at angels 30 and climbing. Strangely the 2nd of the two MiG's seemed to give up. He tried to extend or something, so I just ran him down and blasted his sorry posterior.

My 4790k loves 2.5 but there's a little more ram and a 1070 backing it up. Tomcat will require 2.5

meh. oh well.. So now I can stop reporting it in every build? :P

Is it something that can be fixed in the livery files?

version 2.5.3.21444 bug not fixed (yet)

Shaders mod makes it look like it came from a domesticated bovines' posterior. Weird one to cure stutters somewhat: punch F11 a bunch of times at the start of the flight.

I disagree with Norbot and would very much like a pilot bobbing around in his mae west after a wet feet kill.

It's odd, in the harriers, I can zap pixels with single Zuni rockets all day long. Freaking deadly with those. Not so in the hornet...

If you look down the sides of the nose you can see it too. All skijns, all theatres. It's a defect in the model used. You do not get this in the external view by the way.

:eek:
