same issue here - tried a restore from quarantine and it just dumped all the files (about 16,000 of them) to desktop - not happy :< now downloading a fresh install

This change will give you a black surround around the text on the map https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4162713&postcount=25

As a VR user the F16 MFDs are difficult to read without zooming in F16 looks nicer (cockpit and airframe) F18 carrier ops and MFD readability in VR means I only use the F18 now (although the F16 is a dream to fly)

For VR I now use these edits - Makes the Fonts crisper - adds a black surround to the text on the colour display so you can see them when using the moving map - option to change the font to a dull white C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group\Common\indicator\MDG_strokesDefs.lua stroke_thickness = 0.9 stroke_fuzziness = 0.25 -- Currently is used for DMC generated fonts black outline DMC_outline_thickness = stroke_thickness * 3.0 DMC_outline_fuzziness = stroke_fuzziness * 8.0 DMC_stroke_thickness = 1.0 DMC_stroke_fuzziness = 0.3 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\materials.lua MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.LMDI] = {220, 220, 220, 255}

Will there be any Christmas surprises in the patch?

Updates look magnificent - by far my favourite module I know the Mav’s are on the implementation list - is that likely to be this year out of interest ?

Given the Normandy map is such a flickering mess graphically compared to the other DCS maps are their any good single player missions / campaigns for the standard maps which still use the WWII pack assets Looking for missions with bombers in flight etc Thanks in advance

So the F16 (my preferred ride) just uses GPS for updates??

Learn something new every day!

In several books it references the pilot correcting for INS precision. So they would set a waypoint to a known fixed structure (say a phone box or corner of a building) and then when arriving the waypoint would be slightly off and the pilot would update INS to the exact location We don’t get to do that in DCS - Is this not a thing now with GPS??? Interested if it’s a missing feature or I’m just out of date :)

Any of you use the altitude hold auto pilot when refuelling?? Still not managed to plug her in yet !

Great mod Would be nice to have pilots in the cockpit

Thanks for the replies - will try the suggestions out tonight Just a point of clarification - I only have the issue when targeting a tall building and try to lock into the roof - locking onto a point in the ground is fine

How do I get the pod to lock onto the top of a tall building like you see in desert storm cockpit videos I guess from 117a’s Currently find the building, zoom as appropriate, TMS left (I think) to change to point track — however the target point still drifts off the top of the building Leaving in area track also drifts Any tips???

thanks all the chart in post 4 is very helpful to bring all the comments together never knew there was such a difference between Mach and CAS

Nice and easy in the f-16 with just selecting the bomb arms the bomb where as in the f-18 theres a lot more workload this just more automated in the f-16 or currently simplified thanks

How come I can get the Mach number in the HUD showing around 1.9 but the speed on the left of the hud is showing 600 (ish) the 2 seem to be disconnected assume I'm being stupid in some way :)

Is this fixed in today’s patch??? Nothing in the patch notes or future developments

same

Still deciding if I like the flight stick on my rig on the right or in the middle (Obutto rig). seems odd over on the right other feel the same?

The screens look quite set back in the cockpit and quite small Are they readable in VR? how do they compare to the F18 in terms of legibility ?

Are you able to target designate from a waypoint to get the new pod to look in generally the right area? Not had a chance to play with it yet

When the plane is cold and dark and these is a scramble on the ship - how long to start the jet and get airborne. Is there a vid of this aligning to that timing?

Hi The AoA in the AV8B always seems higher than in other aircraft. Also once it gets very high in an aggressive turn the controls seem unseaponsive even at high air speed Is this correct we should lose control What’s the highest AoA I should be look at during ACM and for how long is optimal to maintain it like that? Thanks
