We always appreciate Better Trees !!!!

This mod is very cool and it is the first time trying the mod. Got a kick out of letting the F-16 sit on the runway for 10 minutes and seeing how saturated with rain the canopy got.

@6S.Duke I 100% Agree! I do think bringing back that old feature from the Free MB-339 is worth while. I hope you can add it to your long list of priorities. it is a feature that all DCS Modules should be getting. Thanks for making the MB-339.. cheers.

The old mod definitely causes strange graphics glitches to appear in the new MB-339 cockpit. Can't say I will miss the old MB-339.. Happy to have the new upgraded official module.

Thanks. Very interesting. I had recently installed an App Called WinLaunch that had a default setting for using the Windows key to activate the launcher. That option conflicted with the Left Windows Key being for Active Pause in DCS. Once I fixed the WinLaunch settings my Active Pause in DCS worked.

I feel some of the stateful button mappings are likely on the "Things to do list". There is a plethora of -- commented out -- key binds including ones for ...AirBrakeOn ...AirBrakeOff in the default.lua. In the meantime one temporary (not perfect) workaround for a AirBrake bind is to add the following line to the MB-339A and MB-339APAN default.lua: {down = iCommandPlaneAirBrake, up = iCommandPlaneAirBrake, name = _('Airbrake Slider OUT/IN'), category = _('Flight Control')}, -- Airbrake Slider Switch Mod Path Example: \\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\MB-339\Input\MB-339A\joystick\default.lua

Give it a few days or a week... Barthek is working on a 2022 update to the Caucasus and probably needed to free up his google drive for testing.

Good question: All I could find was when ShimShaker for Aviators is installed: You can go to >> Help >> Changelog. From there you well see a list of all changes from 2.4.3 to 2.4.0.

I updated my "reworked-cockpit-views" server.lua with some lines of code for the little Polikarpov I-16 and the New Mirage F1. I also just added AH-64D for reference too. For anyone that has read all 33 pages of this thread or went down the "rabbit-hole" that is DCS FOV, Snap Views and Server.lua you may realize that most settings are subject to your preferences and in some cases the hardware you are using to run DCS. Don't be afraid to make backups, roll up your sleeves, and make some changes to the values and see what happens. FYI: You can "usually" find the original developers view settings in a file called Views.lua. Located in your DCS Folder: DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\"module_name"\Views.lua Polikarpov I-16 ViewSettings["I-16"] = { -- Example Setings to try Cockpit = { [1] = default_fighter_player({CockpitLocalPoint = {-1.532000,0.811000,0.000000}, --CameraAngleLimits = {200.0, -90.0, 90.0}, limits_6DOF = {x = {-0.070000,0.280000}, y = {-0.200000,0.100000}, z = {-0.190000,0.190000}, roll = 90.000000}}), }, -- Cockpit Chase = { LocalPoint = {0.600000,3.682000,0.000000}, AnglesDefault = {180.000000,-8.000000}, }, -- Chase Arcade = { LocalPoint = {-27.000000,12.000000,0.000000}, AnglesDefault = {0.000000,-12.000000}, }, -- Arcade } Mirage-F1CE ViewSettings["Mirage-F1CE"] = { -- Example Settings to try Cockpit = { [1] = default_fighter_player({CockpitLocalPoint = {3.225, 0.368, 0.0}, --CameraAngleLimits = {200.0, -90.0, 90.0}, limits_6DOF = {x = {-0.150000,0.300000}, y = {-0.300000,0.100000}, z = {-0.240000,0.240000}, roll = 90.000000}}), }, -- Cockpit Chase = { LocalPoint = {0.600000,3.682000,0.000000}, AnglesDefault = {180.000000,-8.000000}, }, -- Chase Arcade = { LocalPoint = {-27.000000,12.000000,0.000000}, AnglesDefault = {0.000000,-12.000000}, }, -- Arcade } AH64-64D ViewSettings["AH-64D_BLK_II"] = { --- Example Settings to try Cockpit = { CockpitAnchorPoint = {1.926, 0.922, 0.0}, [1] = default_fighter_player({CockpitLocalPoint = {1.784, 0.992, 0.045}, --CameraAngleLimits = {200.0, -90.0, 90.0}, limits_6DOF = {x = {-0.1,0.5},y ={-0.3,0.1},z = {-0.3,0.3},roll = 90.0}}), [2] = default_fighter_player({CockpitLocalPoint = {1.784 + 1.300, 0.992 - 0.45, -0.0125}, --CameraAngleLimits = {200.0, -90.0, 90.0}, limits_6DOF = {x = {-0.1,0.5},y ={-0.3,0.1},z = {-0.3,0.3},roll = 90.0}}), }, -- Cockpit Chase = { LocalPoint = {0.600000,3.682000,0.000000}, AnglesDefault = {180.000000,-8.000000}, }, -- Chase Arcade = { LocalPoint = {-27.000000,12.000000,0.000000}, AnglesDefault = {0.000000,-12.000000}, }, -- Arcade } Cheers.

Instant download for me today and in the future if @Barthekmakes any changes. The Legacy Caucasus is a tired old MAP and any updates are much appreciated.

I recently came across my Original Lock On Gold Box and the Flaming Cliffs 2 DVD. I was probably running AMD Athlon and a very underpowered ATI Graphics card. Today a copy of Legacy DCS 1.5 is still installed on my dedicated 2 TB Flight Sim SSD. I launch DCS v1.5 a couple of times a year just so I can appreciate how far the platform has evolved over the last 12 years and how much some has stayed the same. One complaint I have is that I don't have more time to put into DCS. Another complaint is that there are too many excellent mods, tweaks and DCS Add-ons being created by a talented community that trying to appreciate the great ones takes time away from learning or re-learning new modules. - It comes down to FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS for me- Cheers and all the best @Cmptohocah. I hope you can find what you are looking for.

Agreed. Trying a 9 Volt battery is better. I am currently fine running my JetSeat with an 8V Adapter setting. My adapter is programable from 5V to 20 V I have never gone over 12V)

If you look carefully at the 5:05 part of the video you will notice that @SUNTSAGANCIENT GAMER is using a personalized version of the Server.lua edit that Peter P first provided in October 2012 and then updated by @firmek many years later. Video NOTES: For reference the YouTube Video Description includes this Google Drive URL link to SUNTAGs Server and SnapViews.lua The customized Server.Lua has some different / interesting settings for gShoulderSize and a few planes like the Spitfire that may be worth exploring. Watch the video and enjoy I am currently Plaiying with local gEyePoint = {0.05, 0.08, 0.00} vs {0.08, 0.10, 0.00} etc.. and testing a server.lua entry for the little Polikarpov I-16. Cheers.

100% agree. I would even pay an extra few $$ for a second app that does armament panels for older planes like the F-5 and warbirds.. Also recently bought the DCS NAV map app to further help support @pet333r!

Update from my previous post after Applying latest 2.4.2 beta release: Mirage F1 AB effect is working exactly as intended by @f4l0. Also thanks to the post 12 hours previously I noticed that the SimShaker.lua did not Update. (Certainly because the original date and time stamp was changed from a UH-60 Update that I also did) Workaround was to delete "my-edited" SimShaker.lua and run the SimShaker for Aviators Beta Installer v2.4.2.msi again. After Selecting Repair SimShaker for Aviators Beta on my system the correct date time stamp is now 8/13/2022 6:06 AM. Success! New Comment from more closely observing Flaps Movement after the last update and repair: Clearly there is output when "flaps" are initially in motion. However, if you use an external view, the SimShaker output is technically happening when the Mirage F1 forward leading edge slats are moving not the flaps. - this is incredibly minor and I would never have noticed it if I had not ventured out with F2 view.. lol Like @Mr_sukebe states: " My thanks for the update, VERY nice!"

There is only 1 AB Stage on the F1 you are correct. What I noted was that the SoundMoudle Output for the AB was very strong. All my other Jet Settings and generic work nice at at 80 and I had to lower the F1 to 2 because the vibration was too much. Hope that helps.. It is 1 am for me now I better call it a night.. lol.. Cheers and good luck sir!

@f4l0 First of all my humble thanks for the beta update of the F1. I did some preliminary testing and noticed the following, that I hope others can verify. The Afterburner data looks like it is being polled from the A/B ON LIGHT [FON] - Located on Cockpit Jet Engine Indications Main Panel. Pressing this "TEST" button while Hot on ramp or in flight triggers the SimShaker afterburner vibration in my Buttkicker. (Note that throttle is in idle position and not in Afterburner) Also as the Sound Strength of the Afterburner is either FULL 100 or 2. I had to set it at 2 where all my other entries for jets are at 80. Flaps not working consistently for me. I could not detect any meaningful pattern. Looks like intermittent with some telemetry feedback being received for first flap position and only when in flight. I will try other trouble shooting and settings if I have more time, but so far the F1 is the only module that has odd Afterburner and Flaps output. - First World Problems - thanks again for creating Simshaker for Aviators and keeping it "Donation Ware"

DCS Updater Utility always felt like a Labour of Love provided by @SkateZilla Not to give SkateZilla and Eagle Dynamics any ideas but I would pay $9.99 for the Updated Version of this app as a DCS Special Add-On/Module.

DCS Updater Utility / Launcher GUI Utility by Skate Zilla Simulation s is very much alive and well. I, along with "potentially thousands of others", have been using it for years. Skate Zilla is working on refreshed version that will be released when it is ready. Cheers.

I recently bought the Mirage F1 because AvioDev worked so hard on the very "lively" C-101. Happy to support AvioDev and now AERGES Engineering. If the MB-339 had come out sooner I probably would not have got the F1. I will be buying the MB-339 on Day One! Can't wait to compare it to the other DCS Trainers! Good luck with the launch @6S.Duke !

Just bought the F1. About 2 years ago I purchased the C101 because I saw how dedicated the developer was in updating the AvioJet. I have no doubt the same thing will happen hear but in a much shorter time because of the lessons learned on the C101.

WOW!@whisky.actual Seriously.. very nice! Thanks

Just installed Better Trees for Syria V2. Very much appreciated.. Thanks @Taz1004!

The wait has been well worth it. I want to reward the team and buy the module as soon as it is available. I started back with DCS using the excellent free MOD MB339. My thanks to the team will be this purchase $$$ : )

Enjoy the great update to Caucasus. If you have not already tried this you can also check out ReShade https://reshade.me/ YouTube Video showing how to Make DCS Look Grate using ReShade
