Hi guys, This started happening recently - every 30 seconds/ minute or so there is a quick freeze for a second or two whilst using the mission editor. The flying itself seems fine. Can't figure out what's going on. It's so infuriating. Any ideas? I deleted the fxo and metashaders folders, tried restarting DCS, computer ect - same issue. Just an occasional quick freeze every so often. Apart from installing 1 skin recently can't think of anything else I had changed. Cheers!

One of the biggest issues now is that no matter what wind speed you set, you just can't get the seas to look rough. This is my video from 3 years ago... how much better do those white horses/ crests look on the waves?! Can we not get those back with high winds?

Sorry to be spamming with more OH-6 shenanigans, but, couldn't help myself Any timeline at all of the Little Bird or any of the other assets? Still eagerly awaiting the dinosaurs!

That's exactly what I needed! Thanks a million

Very surprised that this Newsletter didn't go into at least some detail on the stuff we saw in the video, especially a development overview and status of the Dynamic Campaign Engine, AI improvements, Vulkan, EF2000 ect? Or are we getting an overview of the current status of DCS in another newsletter soon?

Did a little Police chase with the OH-6 @Eight Ball Are the dinosaurs coming soon so that I could make a Jurassic Park mission? (I won't shoot them! I promise! )

Thanks a million!

Is anyone aware of a marine drone mod for DCS by any chance? Even something that would half-resemble a marine drone like a small speedboat that doesn't have any humans and is preferably painted in a dark-ish/ black colour? Cheers!

For those of you who know MSFS, you can tilt the cockpit camera (head) angle up or down when looking straight ahead with trackir - so the centred head position is tilted up or down somewhat, and I'm wondering if this is somehow possible in DCS? Perhaps by adjusting some LUA file somewhere? Reason I ask is because depending on the module, it feels more natural to have the default F1 head position to be tilted slightly down - for example in the Kiowa (and some other helis) you sit fairly high and you want to have more of the ground in view when your trackir is centred so I wish I could tilt my in-game head angle down a few degrees to be the default position. Same goes for some aircraft, I'd prefer seeing more of the instruments whilst looking straight ahead at my monitor. And I don't want to change the camera view by shifting the whole head position up and down, I just want to adjust the default head tilt. In MSFS as you all know you just press the mouse key and adjust the camera angle. But I've never seen any key bindings for this in DCS? Cheers!

Oh amazing, thanks so much! Will try it when I can!

Hi folks, Could someone help me figure out what I have to change to get the HUD-only (Alt+F1) view to appear without any MFDs? I've seen a discussion on this for the F-18C but I need it for the FC F-15C and the folder structure is different. Can't figure it out. Any ideas? I'll be very grateful, cheers!

Awesome. Even just a basic datalink simulation would be good. I've sent you a friend request on Discord. Would love to try the mod

Literally can't wait for this! Can I ask - presumably the real life Polish MiG has datalink? Would it be possible to have this implemented in some basic way? When can we expect this to get released? Wesołych Świąt!

@tobi @Eight Ball Is it theoretically possible to animate the soldiers getting on/off the chopper (even if the W&B remains unchanged)? Or is this just not something DCS would allow at this point? Just thinking how amazing it would be if we could actually come and extract a bunch of Delta Force guys from a hotspot somewhere. DCS is just crying out for some better infantry mechanics for something like this! Obviously that's on ED to improve. Either way this looks absolutely fantastic! I'm on 100 hours of OH-6 flight time already!

This looks insanely good!! Payware quality as usual. Can't wait to fly it

Thanks, but the one offered by propeler is exactly what I need, especially with the adjustability of the length and angle so I'll go for that. I find the limiting factor with regular metal offset extensions is that they give a very limited offset proportional to their height, at least when it comes to short extensions of 5-10cm. 30 degree offset for a 10cm extension is very little. What I've been looking for is a bit more like the real F-5: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/5624792

Why would someone make a mod but not make it available to others? Seems very strange. Polish MiG mod looks very cool. Would be great to see that available at some point. No, looking for an in-cockpit, modelled GPS device. Although that android app is very cool and maybe I'd have used it too if I had anything android, which I don't.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a stick extension for my TM Warthog however I have quite specific requirements and I simply cannot find what I am looking for anywhere. Could some help in case they know of a place I could find what I need? I need a TM Warthog stick extension that is at least 5cm but no bigger than 8cm ideally, but also has a significant offset. No less than 3cm, and ideally more like 5cm or more. Just for reference there are some extensions like that for other sticks, although height-wise still a touch too long: https://qr4rigs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=211 Also I had one of these before but it broke because it couldn't deal with forces of my force feedback stick base: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394501520157?_skw=thrustmaster+warthog+extension&itmmeta=01JF2KZVWR9X65AM9SJ48H3RZS&hash=item5bda1f7b1d:g:b9UAAOSwu2ZkCCs5&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAABAHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKlCWiauN6R%2BOxBJbR8NB1mxWacoheZOsj2G60uhwouP1vraNHOrt7TTDrucSrehmV0J54X4PJ0nwOKQgGg2OOt75rTKgGEeUYDaaxKOXtmkY2Z--eHqfQoSAaPnwvsIqVE2xT1kbgTuDWl%2FHtismmUJDouYZa3LPucskTdlS1%2F9cb4pRGjBlbqfkwfcNSI6ChsvTvCPJmS0OR7NmoUAlulsd8%2FFZQbV8K9Ov5sbF6TRWq1Z4yj6%2B9Y8N1Kh%2B2XI274v4ZF0ec3aktiUva7VlkHLgFTXoIcj6dlgXK5NxFQtfBPcJ4XVVi1pHUra%2BNw5W7U%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7y-_9P4ZA To sum up - TM Warthog extension that is 5-8cm in height, at least 3cm offset and is strong and sturdy, preferably metal. Does this exist anywhere? Huge Thanks!

@tobi @Eight Ball Any progress on the OH-6 or it's derivatives? It's been a little quiet here Any updates planned any time soon?

Yeah Open Mod Manager looked way too overkill for what I really need which is to effectively enable and disable Barteks Caucuses, Taz trees and Bandit's weather mod. So I would also like to keep using it whilst it works and since it's so simple and I don't require anything else at this time.

Thanks guys. Problem solved by deleting and re-installing OVGME!

Hi guys, Is it just me or is OVGME not working any more after the latest DCS patch 2.9.10.3948 (the one with the new fog)? If I try to enable any mod in OVGME I get an error: "Backup creation error for Mod '_______', the Mod cannot be installed" Any ideas how to get it to work again? Big thanks in advance!

Police OH-6 FBI mission: One thing which would be nice to maybe improve at some stage is the rotor animations. Occasionally they make me think my game is running at 20fps when you look at them. I think that along with a VR pilot body, would basically make the mod look like it's a payware module, which it honestly should be! Thanks again for your efforts Eightball and tobi. Can't wait for future updates!

Thanks but I'm still none the wiser. Looking at tutorials on VOIP I'm doing everything right but cannot get it to work still

Hi guys, I'm struggling to get VOIP to work in the Kiowa and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong... I have the PTT (VOIP Radio) mapped to a button my joystick. If I get the VOIP menu open (RCtrl + RShift + Tab), I can see the radio I have selected and when I press the aforementioned PTT (VOIP Radio) button on my stick, both the R PTT and I PTT boxes go red (testing in server on my own), however, when I release, the buttons remain red... should they not go back to yellow if I release the PTT (VOIP Radio) button? We tested this with a friend in my server yesterday and we had the exact same issue... couldn't transmit on the radio. Is this something we are doing wrong or a current bug? Thanks!
