Все знают, что в ВР можно использовать модуль "Огневой Рубеж" (далее ОР) лишь частично. Насколько я понимаю по собственному опыту попыток использования модуля с ВР, проблема кроется исключительно в реализации прицелов. Что сейчас мешает всё-таки взяться за модуль и допилить? По сути, это уже реализовано в рамках модуля Ми-24П, неужели сложно портировать это в ОР? Сейчас модуль по сути является огромным недоделом в этом плане. Достаньте его, пожалуйста, с дальней полки, а то как-то не очень серьёзно выходит с системой вечных "бэт" и забиваний на модули. А он вроде ведь как родной "ЕДшный". Тем более, что наличие указания на неподдерживания ВР наверняка останавливает часть потенциальных покупателей модуля. По-моему, зря вы на него подзабили, у модуля огромнейший потенциал при достойной реализации.

Hello fellow DCS colleagues. I am thinking about obtaining Combined Arms because I would love to take part in Online Missions and Campaigns as Ground Units to build FOB's FARPs and support Areas with AA and Artillery Missions. I would love to know if there is any Dynamic Campaign Server running that supports Combined Arms. I know some Dynamic Campaign missions from the perspective as KA-50 or A10 Pilot supporting Supply run missions performed by Mi8 and other choppers. I was thinking that It would be cool if combined arms would provide the ability to fortify supply lines even more and build a more authentic defence perimeter than we see done normaly by AI alone. Can somebody give me Info or a little more insight if this is done by some CA players already and if there are several servers supporting CA? Kind regards, MKev

I know DCS is primarily a flight simulator, but I love playing with Combined Arms, especially online with friends. The best moments we have are when one or two players are flying attack aircraft while the rest of us are driving on the ground, fighting our way through and calling for air support. This experience gave me an idea—a suggestion that could potentially bring more new players to DCS! Buying a HOTAS is expensive for many potential newcomers, but everyone already has a mouse and keyboard. I’d even bet that most people are already familiar with controlling vehicles using them. My suggestion is simple: Add an American Humvee and a Russian Tigr as free ground units. Imagine this scenario: A new DCS player is enjoying their time flying an A-10 or has just learned how to fly the Su-25T with their new HOTAS. Now, they’re trying to convince their friends to give DCS a shot. However, there’s resistance because their friends don’t even own a basic joystick, let alone a HOTAS. But now, those friends have the option to play as a Humvee or Tigr driver. The player with the plane can create missions where ground units have to survive a battlefield or navigate through dangerous terrain. Their non-flying friends can hop in and play with ease using just a keyboard and mouse while experiencing the incredible scale of DCS. In this scenario, they see their friend flying overhead, dropping bombs, helping them survive, and performing thrilling gun runs dangerously close to the action. What will these players think? What will they want to do next? You guessed it — they’ll want to try flying the Su-25T or even go all in and purchase an A-10, F-16, F-18, or another aircraft module. I believe DCS World has immense, untapped potential for gameplay with ground units. Adding free, accessible ground vehicles for new players to explore could make DCS far less intimidating for beginners. Once they’re hooked on the immersive experience, they’ll naturally want to take to the skies in an aircraft. So that’s my suggestion. What do you think?

nullTiny tree's still stopping MBTs. Same with the small walls.

Seeing as the last post someone made on this was 4 years ago and received little feedback beyond being "sweary," figured I'd try a fresh one. Player-driven vehicles get stuck on small scenery objects such as bushes and are basically impossible to free, unless you can get in the Tactical Commander / Game Master slot and order the AI to drive away from the point for you. To recreate: Have Combined Arms Get into a vehicle Drive over basically any small scenery object, e.g. bushes on Marianas, ornamental railings on Syria Congratulations, you are now stuck! Please see attached track and video, and happy new year. Challenge: a fix within 2025? Exhibit null Stuck LAV.trk

Would be nice to be able to link/unlink (group/break group) deployed ground units, into a single group after deployed, while in the mission. When transporting ground forces, every piece of equipment is a group. Setting route for each individual unit is aggravating when they're all going to the same point. And, they usually get separated really bad, you have to adjust all of their speeds to keep ammo and slower units close together, etc.

Hi all Here is a simple dismount script for ground units in DCS. I really like the potential of Combined Arms and wanted to make APC's more useful and similar to how they work in the Wargame series by Eugen. I was 50% successful.. With this, Transports can be preloaded with infantry compositions in the mission editor and dismount their troops at any time during the battle via the f10 menu. Some use cases could be transporting infantry groups to clear out towns or forests, establish a defensive line, transport MANPADS to strategic locations and so on. It would even be possible to use it for transporting armor and logistics via aircraft. Setup consists of loading MIST and the script at mission start, and making a radio (f10) item calling the dismount function with a transport group name. Detailed explanation how to set up is given in the script, and there is also a demo mission for examples of use. It requires the Mission Scripting Tools (MIST), so you need to read up on how to load that in your mission. I would have liked to make infantry loading during mission possible as well, but that is a bit beyond my LUA skills unfortunately.. dismountScript01.lua zz_scriptTemplate_dismount.miz

DISREGARD I was messing around randomly trying things and I noticed that the year was set to 2016. Then I remembered that SCUDS were a big deal during the Gulf War in 1991, so I switched the year and that gave me the option to add them. I can delete this post if the admins want. ### Hello everyone, I just installed Combined Arms into the latest version of DCS. I see existing available Combined Arms missions but I don't see any way to add units (a SCUD for instance) to my own missions. I watched a video and it seems there should be a "missiles" category in the ground units section, but I don't have that. I haven't tried any other kinds of units. Am I misunderstanding what Combined Arms is supposed to allow me to do? Is it just that I haven't found the right way to do it? Am I experiencing a bug? I did a search here in the forums and ended up with a thousand returns spread over 40 pages, so if the answer is in there and I didn't spot it I apologize. Can anyone help? Dave

Let's be honest. Combined Arms sucks right now. But I love it. JTAC-ing and acting as a FAC is my lifeblood when I'm not in the air myself. There's a certain level of creativity and natural discovery when you're on the ground where you're not normally at. Plus, there's so much more you can find on a map rather than 32k feet in the air. It's just so much fun to have something not too ground intensive as Arma or Squad while keeping the same basic functions of ground forces while utilizing the amazing flight engine in DCS to enhance the experience of the pilots in the air. However, that's where things start to go wrong. Vehicles drive weirdly, some of their vehicles are less than optimal, not as many things are drivable(notably for me, URALs and Rearm/Refueling trucks. Being able to deploy ground troops from a truck rather than only from a helo is something I think CA is really missing. For the R/R trucks it would be awesome to be able to setup mini-FARPs from the ground), and the F10 UI could use a massive revamp as it is not intuitive for your average user(aka yours truly). With those problems in mind, I think it may be time to take another look at re-doing CA. From what Steam is telling me, CA was released May 31, 2012. 10 Years! Off the top of my head, from the time CA was around the A-10, M2000(not sure if this existed around 2012), Ka-50, and a few others were around and all of those have been revamped(A-10CII, M2000 has been vastly changed and updated including the recent HUD vector graphics and TAF systems, and the Ka-50 went from BS1 to BS2 and they're already getting close to BS3 completion). Especially with the A-10 and Ka-50 the A-10C was updated until they did the CII which is somewhat revamped. The Ka-50 is about to be on its 3rd iteration! Is it too much to ask to finally update, revamp, redo, or just re-beautify Combined Arms to the next level? If I understand the non-CA community, one of the main things that is keeping them from the module is mainly the UI, limited availability in MP, and general disinterest. It is my belief a lot of these can be fixed if there was a revamped CA. A simpler UI, better vehicle movement physics, and generally make it more accessible for the end user. If this can be changed I think the general public(and notably MP server owners) will be more welcome to the module and will allow for a better experience for everyone. I went a bit ranty, and it's a lot of the same "just make it better" talk, but I seriously think it's worth it. If we can make a CA2 with a trailer as good as the OG CA, my life will be complete. That video was sick! (Combined Arms Video for Reference) TL;DR: CA has a lot of potential, and with so many other modules getting redone I feel CA deserves to be redone to make it the best module it can be.

While we are mainly Rotary wing focused, this does not mean we do not like the fixed-wing airframes. Helping other players in building FARP, units, and capturing airfields is a very important part of our server. Discord<<Click me Situation Israel and Syria have been in conflict for thousands of years. Since 2022, After the ceasefire ordered by the Council of nations, Syria Has spent the last 20 years gearing up for war. Syria and the Council of Nations are not willing to allow the dictatorship to have such a large arsenal. The border needs to be reinforced to protect Israel from a possible Syrian Invasion. Once the border is reinforced, we can start the push into Syria to remove the dictator from power. Damascus is heavily reinforced by his followers. Destroy factories and airfields. Frequencies can be found in your kneeboard. There are Easter Eggs in this server mission. Good luck finding them! Game Plan Reinforce the front line(indicated on map) Push the Syrian forces from the border Move into Syria and capture the Factories, Airfields, and strategic points Dwindle the Syrian forces until the supply is low enough for an attack on Damascus Assassinate the Dictator Persistence This server is persistent, constantly evolving campaign. What this means is, everything you do is kept on the server after a restart. Supply There is a finite amount of supply for both Syria and Israel. This means if you take off in a helicopter or a jet, and loose the aircraft that will no longer be in the supply However, there are factories across the map for resupply of Airframes, Fuel, Munitions, and troops. Don't forget that you will need to resupply the airfields and FARPS with the required munitions.

Earlier we used to see rocket motor burning when GRAD MLR fires it's rockets now rocket motor is gone neither i can see rockets coming out of the launcher. Here iam putting the track and 2 video links in which it used to be fine and the one i saw when i was tryin g to make a video. mlr track.trk

Why are the SA-10 search radars so underperforming compared to the Patriot search radar? According to the DCS encyclopedia, the SA-10 5N66M has a maximum detection range of 120/90 km... but in-game it's more like 60 km and the 64H6E Big Bird has a detection range of 300 km in the encyclopedia, again only 170 km like in-game Patriot AN/MPQ-53

I would really like to be able to use the Reaper for spotting and lasing targets as a FAC-A. Currently in combined arms I can only use the ground vehicles. The Reaper already has all of that functionality as far as tasking usage, why not make it playable for FAC-A's? This could really add a lot of value to missions. Thanks.

is this a bug or correct as it is ?

Hey all and Devs. So my TOP desire for DCS would be a First person module/standard feature. (I love jets but a full theatre of war would be awesome) Before some people come here and say that its a flight sim and not another Call of Duty, let me explain why. 1. First person module is not 'difficult' to make in comparison to an entire flight physics model for a heli or jet. I have no idea what would be technically involved in getting the DCS world engine to work with first person, human physics and animation but for now I would assume that it is possible at least. 2. First person (shooter) is more popular than an extremely detailed flight sim. Its easy to get into without needing to study an entire manual. This alone would generate much more revenue for ED (very quickly) and allow them to make even more jets/maps/modules and expand the company. Heck, you could charge $10 (Super cheap) for a first person module and you'd see player numbers rise incredibly. That alone would get more people interested in the other jets and things. 3. Imagine how cool it would be to play on the ground, knowing about the crazy jets and helis above. Coolness factor would be unbelievable. 4. The big thing about first person is animation and modelling of weapons (Yes I know there is more to it but these are the major things). Now, I'd say that both the models and animations can be bought from other studios and touched up to DCS standard. The amount of time and money spent on developing in-house assets for this wouldnt be worth it in comparion to just buying it. There are hundreds of games and studios who have made these assets, no need to reinvent every wheel. So time investment wouldn't be a major concern and monetary investment could be recovered very quickly. 5. Combined arms already exists.... So, let me hit E on that tank and hop in. 6. It's called Digital combat simulator. Not Digital Flight Simulator. Its mean to simulate ALL combat, so why not add the easiest form of combat? I'm sure I can sit and think of more reasons but Im sure you get what Im saying. If a dev could give a comment on this, that would be great! Also, understand that Im not saying "DO IT NOW! GIMMIE FPS!!!" Things dont happen instantly... so please ED, do consider this idea. Let me know what you all think?

When giving units (t-72's in this case) waypoints, the unit will turn and drive towards the given waypoint. however, after a certain distance or period of time the vehicle stops as if it has reached the waypoint. giving a new waypoint gets the vehicle moving again but it never really seems to get more than halfway to the waypoint before stopping Also, units follow pathing as if they are off road even when the path is set to be via roads and they start on roads.

Using a continuous statement that is running "group stop" on a SA-6 site to prevent the site from being moved in multiplayer. The statement fires continuously(using a signal flare as visual indication) but the waypoints given by a tac commander are followed, the group will not halt. This does not quite seem like intended behaviour by the action. could someone clarify the method and possibly a solution for the desired result of making unit controllable but immovable? EDIT: achieved goal using the AI SET TASK option and adding a task for "halt". Intended behaviour still seems off

In case you don't see it....I'm aiming DIRECTLY at a tank. A tank with absolutely ZERO thermal signature. Regardless of when it last ran its engine, a vehicle like this would absolutely have a thermal signature. From sitting in the sun, alone, it would gather heat. I really hope we can get proper thermal imagers one day. Thermal imaging and fire control systems are the cornerstone of modern MBTs.

SA-17 Search Callout As the title says, the SNOW DRIFT appears to be listed under the SA-11 and SA-17 in the Apache RWR database. Seems to indicate we may be getting an SA-17 at some point, which would be a significant improvement over the SA-11. SA-17 Details

Hey there ive been searching for awhile now and been scanning for a landing craft that can carry tanks or troops to shore, i see there are mods out there but i cannot seem to find them. i would love a LCAC mod but i cannot i find any that are available? thanks in advance!!!

Hi, new here :) Not sure if wishes for Combined Arms goes in here but here we go. When clicking a group leader ( 1) you don't see the connection to other units in that particular group. We are using a persistent version of CA, and are using quite some time to make it fun for the users, so we move the units around quite a bit all the time. A kind of coloring, marking, lines or anything else to indicate "group members" when clicking group leader would be a great help. Thank you in advance ;) ChokDK

Hi Everyone, I've experienced another bug while stress-testing the stabilisers; if you drive the vehicle around in circles, you'll witness the turret periodically shake horizontally. I've attached a track below testing the T-80U and the ZSU-23-4, though any vehicle with a stabiliser exhibits similar behaviour. Stabiliser_Shake_Bug.trk

Hi Everyone, I've found a bug that is probably related to this one. If you take direct control of a vehicle and turn the stabiliser on (without moving the turret) the turret will remain locked in place (in both elevation and azimuth) and it is unable to be moved. What you have to do to get it unlocked is to have the stabiliser off, move the turret, and then turn the stabiliser on again. It seems that moving the turret with the stabiliser off is the only way to get the stabiliser to work properly. After that it will function as desired, this might pose a problem as IRL, most vehicles with stabilisers typically have them engaged by default and are only turned off in certain circumstances. In the track below I'm using the T-80U, after taking control I drive forward a short distance, stop, enable the handbrake, and immediately after the white 'dust' (I'm very pleased that's getting sorted) clears I start operating the controls, but the turret remains fixed in place; shortly after I disable the stabiliser and control is restored, then I re-enable the stabiliser and all is well. This can be repeated on every vehicle with a stabiliser. As a side note, using the turret to hull align disables the stabiliser. Latest OB, Specs below, using the joystick to control the turret.
