500kts Case 1 Recovery...

500kts/ 800ft Case 1 Recovery. Will try to do 600kts too but need more bags - anyone know how to add tanks in the editor but not have any fuel in them?

nope. In the grim reapers video tutorial that i watched they too had the DCS screen not boot to UI. The only way to close it along with the server was to use task manager. So the way they had it was so that the server was running and others could join, but never showed how to actually get into your own server. :(

:cry::( DCS in 2020 doesn't have a rewind function? Geeezzz

Hey folks, I'm trying to make a video and I need to rewind a little bit here and there when playing a recording (trk file) in the game so I can capture different angles of the same bit. How do I rewind the track a little bit? I know I can increase/ slow down the playback speed but can't find a rewind function to play time backwords?? Cheers!

That's no owrries. I played around with settings and fixed it! :thumbup:

Hey folks, is there anyone here that records gameplay via OBS? I have it set up so that in game I don't notice any performance hit when recording, however when I play the mp4 file that's been recorded something strange is happening - it's silky smooth when I fly over the ocean but as I approach the carrier fps just drop through the roof - like 15 maybe (unwatcheable) - yet the game ran fine during the recording, and I even have a track file saved which plays back smooth. Anybody here got any tips? Doesn't have to be OBS I guess, I just need to record the gameplay footage and have it play back smoothly, that is all. If it makes any difference - 4k @ 60fps. Cheers!

Let me get this straight. The Hornet gets out of control when rolled multiple times? WTF! That's insane...

Ah thanks, yeah I use an SSD. I did the above but havn't notices any difference really.

couldnt agree more. :doh:

Tried every speed - fast, slow, doesn't matter. Knife edge is impossible. In other jets you can keep VSI on zero in knofe edge no problem and I suspect you can in the real Hornet too.

True but not that much. The nose would fall below the horizon pretty quickly in DCS...

So I wanted to replicate the Finnish F-18 demo takeoff - the result in DCS is quite frankly hillarious. Have you guys ever done an inverted ultra-high alpha pass? Coz I have... flight model needs a tweak I think. :music_whistling::music_whistling::music_whistling: Have a look at the track below and try not to have your jaw hit the floor hahaha :megalol::megalol::megalol: F18 INSANE FLIGHT MODEL FAIL.trk

Do I just add the cfg file that's attached in the original post into the config folder and that's it?

Could you explain how to do 1 and 2? Assume shaders is a folder somewhere? And no idea what "defrag" is lol

Yeah it always felt to me like there is not enough rudder authority in flight in the DCS Hornet. Clearly it can do a knife edge pass in real life.

That's great!! Cheers

Tried doing what you suggested. Got a dedicated server to run, however can't figure out how to actually open up DCS after it is running because DCS does not boot to the UI screen, it just stays on the intro scree with "DCS" and a black background behind it like when you start it, except this intro screen does not change :huh:

Hey guys, I'm trying to just play my own mission but via a dedicated server that has a password. I've used skate zilla to launch a dedicated server that is running fine it seems using the mission I want... but for some reason the DCS screen after being launched is the intro scene with "DCS" and a black background... so the game UI isn't opening up. How do I actally jump into my own mission if I cannot open up DCS multiplayer to find my own server?

Hey folks, where are the instant action and normal missions located? I've searched through every folder and can't find them. I want to select a mission for a dedicated server but can't figure out where to located it grrr! Cheers! In the "Missions" folder I only have my own missions from the editor. There's a folder called "Campaigns" inside there too but it doesn't seem to show any of the original SP missions

All I can say is that the more people here voice their want for something like this the more likely the devs will tke it seriously. I totally get that it's a case of supply and demand. If they can create a formation flying module and make a good profit on it then they will make it. It's that simple. ED, can you please consider doing a formation display module? It can be applicable to any aircraft and it's a unique opportunity to create something never done before in simulation. It can be a simple "FSRecorder" style mod or a complex one with a UI where one can specify maneuvers made by the aircraft in some sort of user-friendly way. Being able to create your own complex aerobatic routines with the same flight physics as that of the player aircraft would literally transform our flying experience. The "airshow" aspect of DCS for most users is totally untapped. We don't all have 8 friends who can be online all at once to make up a formation. And perhaps we want to tweak our formations however we want. I get this is not an easy task but surely this is doable and very marketable? I'm prepared to bet half the community would want something like this for whatever aircraft they fly in DCS. Anyway, here's hoping...

What do you mean? What happens?

OH MY GOD!!!! THIS IS LIFE CHANGING!!!! WHAT!!! Just tried it - from stuttery 30fps to an absolute PERFECTLY smooth 60... whaaaaat!!!!! I never knew about this key binding and whatever it does? :huh: I am so confused right now... how did I just double the performance of my sim using this????? Massive thank you!!! EDIT (after more gameplay): I am speachless. Doing this has literally doubled my performance all over. I don't mean just SC, I mean like everywhere all the time!!! I am now able to add dynamic shadows and run even smoother than before. This must be some kind of magic trick. I literally do not understand what just happened. Someone please explain... how have I just unlocked all this beaty and smoothess? Mind blown. Totally blown. I must buy you a beer.
