Thanks so much for the detailed reply! I have a spare Dell Optiplex sitting around from work. I think it has 8gbs of RAM. Just for hosting a server for DCS do you think it could get the job done? It doesnt seem like the VM you have is too spec'd out and it would be dedicated to this task.

Welcome! Always great to have new people in the community. Can I ask you for some details on the VM that you built and how powerful your machine is/how many resources you allocated to the VM? I want to build a server as well and this is a great idea. I wanted to know how much power is needed to run a server and what your experience was performance wise with the VM. Before I build a machine myself it would be great to have some insight!

This happened to me an hour ago. I rebooted and all is good. SC is not the issue as it has not been released and no OB updates have been made since 4/22/20. Not sure what it was, but it is fine now for me.

Newy was kind enough to answer a PM of mine and confirmed that the IFLOLS is working as of now and it is planned to be ready for the 20th, but stated that they will know more closer to release day.

The stable release gets updates a lot less frequently than the OB. It will be some time before SC is release to stable. You can have both versions installed and you can bring your mods over as well.

2.5.5 is the current stable versionj and 2.5.6 is the current open beta. you can get the current OB here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/beta/ and when the OB update happens on the 20th you will be ready to go. as it stands now you wont have the SC unless you are running the open beta. it is possible to have both on your computer. just install from the link above.

You will need to be on the OB 2.5.6 to play when it is released on the 20th

I have built quite a few extensive missions involving the Stennis and would like to adapt the supercarrier in to them. Will I be able to simply switch the Stennis for a SC module ship in my carrier group? I understand that the statics will need to be added/moved

It is actually a perfectly understandable strategy that is used by many developers. It seems easier for ED to work with a smaller test bed of users at first and then after getting constructive feedback, release it to us OB testers. I am just grateful that they are still working on a flightsim for us during a pandemic...

Does this block your view of the IFLOLS while landing?

Yeah this is what I need to do to rule out that as the problem as I dont remember having it before. I use head tracking too but I really need to move left to see and that messes me up too lol

I am pretty sure that this is going to be an optional feature that can be turned on an off. I doubt they would force us to use that

Does anyone have this issue in the Hornet? I have Accidentally moved my default head position in the hornet and I did my best to get it back to center. I can not remember how it was as default, but when I am trying to land on the boat, the IFLOLS is blocked by the frame of the HUD when I get in close. Did I screw something up with my default head position or does this happen to everyone?

Ok, I thought of that and was able to make it work kind of, but the pilots head is missing lol. Is there any way around that?

I want to be able to get the view seen in this video in DCS but the F4 view has super low res cockpit when you move inside. I don't know any other way to get this angle. Does anyone know if this is possible to have currently and if not would be a very welcomed addition for me.

Does anyone know if the supercarrier will have a more visible wake behind it? With the 2.5.6 update I am having a hard time spotting the wake behind the stennis and I like to use it as a reference for line up. At the current state, its really hard to see. I have the carrier set to 23 knots with a 7knot head wind

Please rate my Case 1 IMHO, I think this was perfectly executed.

Have you tried uninstalling the f18 from dcs module manager and then reinstalling it?

Go to axis assignments, and confirm that the throttle is not mapped to roll, pitch or rudder axis

Here is my first attempt. 42,630 Doing this in 2.5.6 OB Landing got a little sketchy. When I have more time I may try this again and repost. Thanks for this, it was good fun. F16Challenge.trk Ok I did another attempt. 43,600 :joystick::pilotfly: F16Challenge2.trk

I have the MOD files. Do you want me to put in google drive for you to download?

Hey Wags, Thanks for the response. I hope since you and the team were so close to making the release that we shouldn't have to wait until May.

Are we going to be waiting days, weeks or months for SC now?
