I know the D models evolved somewhat, so not sure if she came from the McD factory that way or was upgraded at some point. She is a block 28 and still fitted with the DVST radar scope.

DCS Newsletter discussion 5th January 2024 - 2024 & Beyond
Diesel_Thunder replied to BIGNEWY's topic in DCS 2.9
The canopy is an easy way to tell the Zero apart from the Fw-190. The Zero has a more rounded canopy with the "window frames". Definitely an A6M Zero in the video! -
Not sure about putting them on the inners, but one of my favorite loadouts has ATGM's, rockets, and a pair of heaters. If I need more ground pound weapons, I sub more ATGMs in place of the R-60's.

Next Level Racing Boeing Military simulator seat
Diesel_Thunder replied to MA_Goblin's topic in Home Cockpits
A Warthog without the extension would work, but leaves the seat notch without it's intended purpose. In my opinion, this is the seat's biggest flaw that it cannot accommodate extended sticks without modification. Their latest flight seat does, that being the Flight Simulator Pro, though it is more expensive than the Boeing Military Edition. Anyway, here are the pictures you requested. I did slide the seat back for a better shot. Also added another picture from before I modified the mount showing the extended Warthog. That put the grip about chest level, and would not work at all for me. Was very much worth having the mount shortened. The grip is about at the perfect height, and my forearm for the most part rests comfortably on my thigh as I'm flying. The extension I use is 200mm and still has full range of motion. The only issue with the shorter mount is that the bolts holding the mount to the rail, which also anchor the center pole support bracket, have to be inserted from the bottom instead of the top as called for in the manual. -
Other than the cannon rounds, I didn't have anything loaded on the pylons for that test. My typical combat load would be the cannon, 2x Ataka tandem HEAT on the outer pylons, R-60 Aphid missiles on the center pylons, and the S-8 rocket pods on the inner pylons. If it's a heavy ground assault, then I'll replace the Aphids with another rack of Ataka ATGMs.

@Flappie Was able to reproduce this issue on the first attempt after having DCS create the new DCS.openbeta folder. I loaded into a server, started up the Hind, took off for a short flight and intentionally had a "bad landing". Immediately upon respawn into the same slot, DCS froze and then crashed to desktop. Even with the short flight, the track file is 17 MB, too large to upload here. Here is the log file, plus the crash dump. Hope this helps narrow it down. dcs.log dcs.log-20231118-215413.zip

I experienced this last night, while on our squadron server which was running a mission on the Syria map. No problems spawning into the first Hind. After landing at one location, I went to spawn at another location. I slotted into a Harrier first which spawned normally. I re-slotted into the second Hind which froze DCS immediately and then crashed to desktop. I was in multiplayer, so that track file is way to large to upload. Do have the crash log attached though. dcs.log-20231117-035941.zip

Hiding seat and stick fails to hide the seat cushion
Diesel_Thunder replied to mousepilot's topic in Bugs and Problems
I noticed the same thing last night as well. The backrest, collective, stick, and seat frame are hidden, but the cushion remains. -
@Flappie I think there may be something up with the Hind. Since we've solved that issue with my system a few weeks ago I've had no crashes, except when flying the Hind. Only had this happen in multiplayer. Can't narrow it down to a specific event, but I've had this happen after getting shot down and re-spawning a 2nd time in the same player slot. Also had this happen when changing to a different slot (going from one Hind slot, to another Hind slot). Similar how it happens each time, your view changes to the Hind which starts to render. You also hear the sound of the cockpit door opening. Within a second to two the sim freezes and the DXDiag box pops up after a moment. Since this was MP, the track file is way to big to upload. I do have two of the crash dump files which I've uploaded. EDIT: Had this happen on different maps, with different missions running so I can’t correlate this issue with a specific server/map/mission dcs.log-20231112-032858.zip dcs.log-20231115-045811.zip
