Although I appreciate that PC want to release a full-functioning product out of the box, I'm somewhat bewildered by the total lack of development reports, screenshots, explanations etc. Wouldn't that be a good way of a)letting know the community that the project is very much alive and well, b) keeping people excited and c) generating more interest from more potential buyers in the future? Genuinely a bit confused by the lack of news. This is one of my most-anticipated modules. Looking forward to seeing it at some point

Hi folks, Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I can't find a Tacview section on the forum. Could someone tell me if it's possible to make Tacview full screen so that the menu bar/ window outline etc at the top is not visible? I could have sworn I did it somehow before but there's no keyboard shortcut for it that I can see so I don't know if I'm imagining things? Many Thanks!

I would actually expand on that slightly and ask that any military installations on the map including all helipads were somehow marked on the map to find them easily.

So the map is expanding south it seems. Any plans to update Khmeimim AB to have the correct location for the S-400 battery and a few other updates to match real world?

+1 Since we got the new cloud system almost 3 year ago there's basically been no updates at all?

That's great, thanks

Hi all, Can't figure out what is going on - in the F/A-18 I tune into an A/A Tacan (for a tanker) - I box TCN on HSI and I get a bearing to the airborne tacan (tanker) but no distance info and also the TCN symbol will not show the location of the tanker on the HSI. What's going on? I have A/A, T/R, correct frequency... is this a bug? Thanks!

What would be better - 144Hz and G-Sync or 175Hz and no G-Sync? How important is G-Sync in terms of DCS?

Thanks but I see these little jitters without DCS, even just in the Trackir software... it cannot keep my head still despite the fact that I am holding it still. And thanks for the advice. I'll probably go for this OLED monitor

Hi guys, I currently have a 37.5" HP Z38C monitor. It's served me well although originally was never really meant for DCS. I guess it's main drawback is that it's only 60Hz. Since I don't know any better I sort of stuck with it for a while but recently watched a DCS streamer who was over the moon when he upgraded to a monitor with a higher refresh rate. Would that really be noticeable? Also, I don't know if this is the cause but ever since I got this monitor, my Trackir always jitters a bit off center, especially when looking well to the side or down and I can only put it down to the monitor refresh having some sort of incompatibility with Trackir as I've tried everything to resolve this, including buying a totally different Trackir and trackclip pro and have tried every combination of settings. I'm wondering if going to a proper gaming monitor with a high refresh rate will be noticeable? I was looking at the Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED 34". It's smaller than my current monitor which I am not crazy about but seems like a solid choice? Does anyone have any other good suggestions for a decent 4k monitor? Cheers!

Is nobody else getting crazy shimmering of shadows and in particular 3D grass with 2.9?

Did that - reduced the shimmering to some degree but still an issue. And either way SSS makes a huge difference to how trees look against sun light so wouldn't want to have SSS off! I tested all options. DLSS is not for me - it makes stuff too fuzzy on my big screen and no amount of sharpening can rectify the issue. So I have to stick with MSAA, as much as I would have liked to use DLSS. I've messed around with various options now within NVidia control panel and in game settings - I can't make the crazy shimmering disappear. It happens mostly on grass but also shadows, power lines and maybe elsewhere.

Is anyone else getting crazy grass shimmering with 2.9 by any chance?

Hi all, I have crazy shimmering when looking at 3D grass in game now after installing 2.9. It's crazy bad. There's an effect of lots of little black dots scattered all over the grass which are shimmering. Tried to play around with various settings but can't get rid of it. Is there a fix? Anyone else having the same issue? I've attached my DCS settings. My system specs: AMD 3950X OC @ 4.3GHz Nvidia RTX 3090 64GB RAM 2TB M.2 EVO 970 SSD

I see, interesting! Thanks!

Sure, here's a track file. On the previous attempt the bandit (F-15E S4) did shoot an amraam at 25nm head on but did not crank. In this situation he did not crank nor shoot. AI set to ace. The result is similar amongst other 4th gen fighters. Is this just my game doing this? Bandit does not crank or shoot.trk

Thanks for the explanation. Do you have access to the Su-27 pilot's manual? Is there any way of getting a copy of that somehow? Cheers!

Hi all, Haven't used my VR headset (reverb G2) since before MT implementation. Been messing about with it today and noticed that: 1. Using the MT .exe I seem to get a few more stutters here and there and performance drops in certain areas compared to what I used to get before. Marianas islands map in particular became a slideshow which was not the case at all before when I last used my VR headset a few months back. 2. Using the regular (non-MT) .exe - VR is impossible. It seems to run in a much higher resolution despite all settings being the same for both .exe's?? And stutters like crazy... presumable because for whatever reason it's running a much higher resolution. But I don't get why? I checked the DPI in the DCS VR settings and it's the same... so I'm kind of confused what is going on? Cheers!

So you can loc So you can lock a target with the radar alone whilst the IRST is off and shoot the R-27T/ET? I was under the impression that it's either IRST alone or Radar + IRST for it be able to lock and transfer the lock to the seeker head of the missile?

Hi all, I'm a little confused. I was sure that a relatively long time ago now ED have redone the AI BVR logic where they were cranking and stuff? Just doing some 1v1 testing here and can't see them doing that. Also they often don't even manage to get a shot off. I'm testing Su-27 Vs various other 4th gen jets with Fox 1s and the AI skill level is set to ace. We start on equal terms, 40nm apart head on, same speed, same altitude. Loosing a fight seems almost impossible. The AI don't crank and sometimes don't even shoot. I changed the AI parameter to shoot "based on enemy threat" and I'm not sure if it's improved things that much. They sometimes do get 1 long range shot off but then never manage to follow through with a kill shot. What happened? Did the AI logic change in some update again? Running latest OB.

Got you! Thanks!

Hi guys, I was hoping someone could clear up my confusion on the R-27T/ET. I understand that these must use the IRST to have a lock before being able to shoot. So my confusion lies in this concept - the IRST has significantly less range to lock a target than a radar, so what is even the point of having these missiles, especially the ET variant when you can't actually shoot them until you get a lot closer? I understand there's decent use cases for closer ranges where the R-73 doesn't quite have the legs, especially chasing a target, but am I right in saying there's effectively no way of using the R-27T/ET at it's maximum range? Or maybe I'm missing something. Thanks!

So this is a known issue?

So this is fun... just updated DCS to the new OB On start up I first get a "Failed to get authorization data. Error code is: 504 No saved authorization found." Then I get... "The following DLCs are not authorized and will be disabled: F-15C Red Flag Campaign Supercarrier F-5E Tiger II M-2000C Red Flag Campaign Falklands AV-8B N/A AJS37 Christen Eagle II F/A-18C Flaming Cliffs 3 Nevada L-39 M-2000C FA-18C Aggressors BFM Campaign Mi-24P Su-33 UH-1H Huey FA-18C Raven One Campaign PersianGulf Syria F-5E Air Combat Maneuvering Campaign" Any ideas?
