Hi. I use English version of DCS World: Black Shark 2. Naturally the texts in my cockpit are all in English. And you know that some characters on HUD, Shkval and PUI-800 was in Russian. Tonight I've decided to convert them to Latin characters. And now it's fully English version for me. (And I have no idea what I've done, or is that good or bad thing, I don't know...) This is the list of translations: HUD: Auto-Tracking: ТА to AT Memory Mode: П to M Laser Range-Finder Active: ИД to LA Beam-Riding Laser Channel Active: ИУ to LC Pause: ПАУЗА to PAUSE R-ALT Symbol: Р to R INU Normal Warm-up: ИКВ НВ to INUNW Processing Target Point: ОТ to PT Updating Coordinates: КОРР to COOR Launch Authorized (Shoot): С to S Training Mode: ТРЕНАЖ to TRAINING Ground Collision: H to G SHKVAL: TG Symbol (Ground stabilized): ТГ to ST TA Symbol (Auto-Tracking): ТA to AT P Symbol (Memory mode): П to M C Symbol (Launch Authorized): С to S Ground Collision: H to G PUI-800 Rockets: НР to RK Anti-tank Missiles: ПС to AT Bombs: 6Б to BB Gun Pod: ПП to CP But, one or more letters are disputable and changeable. *** By the way; While doing this work I've noticed that ED has cancelled indicator of laser temperature, located on HUD. I've enabled this part and seen the laser temperature on HUD. Is that 370°C??? At ~390°C, laser was paused and being cooled. Nice... In mod file, this code is enabled. And a sample video (Duration 4:49) EDIT: And, the last thing is that I've edited, changed and justified the EKRAN_localizer.lua file. I'm pleased if you give attention for Ekran in game. If you don't like it, you may find original files in mod. *** Well... What do you think?... DOWNLOAD: Devrim_DCSWBS2_EnglishHUDShkvalPUI-800_v1.7b.zip Updated: 08/2020

Hi to all Pilots, hope you are all doing well and having a great day! My new project is to install a steering damper to the VIRPIL WarBRD Rudder Pedals. I have seen a video somewhere here or on YouTube featuring a Ka-50 cockpit walk through but can't find it anymore. It showed in detail on how the rudders work. If someone has seen this video as well, please add a link. I also have looked at a MI-8 heli with a similar system and wonder if this system carries over to other models. How it worked was: If the Pilot pushes a button on the left side middle panel the rudders a dampened, pushed again the rudders are free (non-resistive) in movement and I want to duplicate that. In my new project I started out by making a damper mount to attach to my WarBRD rudders for use on my T-Slot profiles. I am currently trying to work out on how to achieve the button actuated system as I saw in this video. I have some ideas but if you have some input on that I would appreciate you comment. I had a lot of fun building this within the last two weeks. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

I present a mod to improve the rain inside the cockpit, surely I will be able to improve it, as a clarification there are 2 files requesting the VR or Monitor system, since both (I do not know if it is a problem or if it really works like that) renders differently . In VR the dynamic drops are not present hopefully ED take note and improve this problem. Don't get me to manage to make it look its best. I upload videos without / with the mod in VR and without / with the mod in Monitor. UPDATE 2.7 All Aircraft Pass the IC Check INSTALL: Extract to main DCS install path.

CGTC (v2.7) for DCS 2.7 and 2.5 Caucasus Ground Textures Compilation Now presenting version 2.7 of CGTC. This is a ground textures modification for the Caucasus map of DCS WORLD, inspired and with a few edited materials from an older DCS 1.5 mod, called PMTC. Please note that it is not a compilation per se, but more of a "homage" to that PMTC mod, hence the name "Compilation". It is an alternative set with extensively overhauled ground textures and natural tones. • This mod was tested and made compatible with DCS WORLD, its newest 2.7 versions and also its older 2.5 versions (be it Open Beta or Stable releases). • All of the texture replacements have similar format and size as DCS' defaults, so performance is identical (both HIGH and LOW resolution packages are included). • With no other mod dependencies - install over vanilla (default) Caucasus map of DCS, and off you go. • As usual with this type of mod, it can only work in Multiplayer if on servers with "Pure Textures" disabled (in the integrity check). CGTC v2.7 download link: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3321589/ I've prepared a detailed "READ ME" document in .PDF format (also available HERE). Please take a moment to read it, as it should clear most common doubts. It countains all the necessary info (description, installation notes, credits/thanks, etc). To showcase CGTC v2.7, here are a few mandatory screenshots throughout the four seasons: SPRING... SUMMER... AUTUMN... WINTER...

I decided to make a retexture of the F-15C with Latvian air force markings. I am sorry if seems low quality, this is my first retexture. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ntr2M6ygzKwP0nmBqmopaPbw9YvQytaj?usp=sharing Installation: Download and extract the folder and place it in the C:\Users\(user_name)\Saved Games\DCS\Liveries\F-15C

First of all, sorry for the translation, my main language is not English. Some time ago I realized that I was losing the "3d depth" that I had when I started with VR, I thought that maybe it was the number of years that I have been with it that my eyes got used to it, presenting itself before my eyes with a 3d with little depth. I have been researching and found information that gave me back what my eyes perceived at first, a deep 3d. Again I have that feeling of distance, relief in things, mainly short and long distance, trees, mountains look deep as it should be in a real 3d view. I really recommend that you try and tell me what you think. It is not risky, you can return the configuration as it was before. I really recommend them, video board nvidia. In the video I'm creating a new profile, you can do it over the default profile (_global_driver_profile) this way it's left by default and you don't have to load the new profile with every reboot. And as always you can return to the default settings just by pressing the corresponding button. I have realized that there is already a profile with these modifications, you only have to select the "VRdirectx" option in the "profiles" tab. A good clarification that this is not a mod, therefore it does not modify anything of DCS, it is more it improves the 3d vr in general, tested with a better depth also in Il2, ACC and AMS2 You must first download the Nvidia Inspector app https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases Instructions in video Easy method, with built-in profile

I'm in my 70's and losing cognitive abilities. So, I am not very good at making Mods or Scripting. I am making a few requests: First: I would like to see a Mod for Airport Beacon Lights. Something built high up and that can be seen for many miles. Having it work like a real airport Beacon? I am requesting more sound Mods for generic use. OGG files for Airfield/Airport intercoms. Just some generic stuff. Also, something that can be used on Aircraft Carriers, other ships, or even enemy bases. More ambient radio transmissions. I have downloaded some from the DCS files and I love them. Please, someone make and provide more. How about some civilian broadcasts that can be picked up on the radios? Create them in OGG files please. If I can think of any others, I'll add to this list. If anyone has any other ideas or comments, Post below.

Update 24.05.2020: New Download Links in this Post Update 05.05.2020: Download Depth Of Field 2.0 OvGME Ready - Thanks Morpheus. Update 05.08.2020: Download Heatair V2.0 OvGME Ready Update 05.11.2020: Download MotionBlur V2.0 OvGME Ready Scientific article about Boke from Zeiss [GER] Hello pilots and modders, as an owner of a film company, a problem jumped right into my eye at DCS. For some reason (the reason is: ED uses Focal Length as well as Focal Distance and Distance for calculation. That is correct. But in DCS the zoom is not controlled by the focal length, but by the zoom - equivalent to a digital zoom. But this is not considered in the formula. Would be correct in reality, but nobody zooms this far lossless digitally and let's be honest - it doesn't look cool! And they missed the distance from the Camera to the Object to be noticed) the depth of field is not really calculated correctly. As you can see in the following picture, the background gets blurred the more you increase the focal length or simply zoom in. This is true for the same aperture, of course. But currently it looks like this in DCS. (v2.5.5) Wide Normal Tele Furthermore, the further you are away from the object, the less blurred the background becomes. At this point I am really a filmmaker and not a mathematician or full-time programmer. However, with my rudimentary knowledge and a lot of time of reverse code reading I have been working on the DOF.fx. You can find it here: *DCS Installation Path*\Bazar\shaders\PostEffects\DOF.fx The formula used here is obviously correct focalWidth * abs(focalDistance-dist)/dist but various parameters seem to be identical all the time especially the focalDistance and focalWidth where the latter should be called focalLength. Therefore the maximum blur does not change when zooming, nor when changing the distance to the object. Even worse. It has the effect that the image becomes sharper when zooming in. Simply because you have more image and details at the same bokeh. First of all I tried to transfer the real values from the camera into the formula. For this purpose I read out the zoom, the target point of the camera as well as the camera position, because these values seem to remain always the same in the current DOF.fx of DCS. Strangely enough I had to leave the value focalDistance in the formula anyway. So my calculation is still far away from perfection. Unfortunately, without debugging I don't know what values and value ranges DCS spits out here. So I had to test a lot with try and error. I have edited the following lines and tried to correct the incorrect calculation. At the beginning #include "../common/samplers11.hlsl" #include "../common/states11.hlsl" #include "common/context.hlsl" //added to get access to some camera values out of the game then the function of getBlurFactor float getBlurFactor(float dist) { //get game camera values float near = gNearFarFovZoom.x; //get nearest point rendered float far = gNearFarFovZoom.y; //get farest point rendered float zoom = gNearFarFovZoom.w; //get fov value of the camera float3 camOrigin = gOrigin; //get camera origin float3 camPosition = gCameraPos; //get camera pos //calculations float focalLength = 1/zoom; //it looks like the zoom is defined from 0.0 - 1.0 where 0 is the largest zoom - with more zoom you get more bokeh - simply inverted that thing and called it like what it is in our context float clipminmax = far-near; //calc the distance between clipping - that is normaly the range where the depth map is calculated and I think the dist value is something between 0.0-1.0 float3 d = camOrigin-camPosition; //calc absolut values of x,y,z - distance float cameraDistance = sqrt((d.x * d.x)+(d.y * d.y)+(d.z * d.z)); //calc absolut direct distance aka focalDistance (Pythagorean theorem) cameraDistance = 1/clipminmax*cameraDistance; //remap the distance to something like 0.0-1.0 float aperture = 2.8;//the standard blur looks like aperture 1 - this multiplier reduces the heavy blur (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture) aperture = aperture*aperture; //calc the size of the bokeh with this aperture. The aperture² gives you the ammount of reducing light. Also its the ammount the bokeh decreases. For example 1 = 1. Maximum Bokeh. At Aperture 1.4 you have the half ammount of light and the half size of bokeh. //output return focalLength * abs(cameraDistance + focalDistance - dist)/dist/aperture; //default -> focalWidth * abs(focalDistance-dist)/dist; | I cannot delete focalDistance, then you see extreme blur. In theory that means that my calculation of cameraDistance is wrong. I'm pretty sure it is, but hey at this moment it works. } float getRadius(float2 uv) { #ifdef MSAA float depth = DepthMap.Load(uint2(uv*dims), 0).r; #else float depth = DepthMap.Load(uint3(uv*dims, 0)).r; #endif float4 p = mul(float4(uv*2-1, depth, 1), invProj); float f = getBlurFactor(p.z/p.w); return pow(f, 1.5); //does the boke effect really grow exponentially with distance? - but this does enlarge the area where it is sharp. Default 1.5. } and then something for the performance here #define GOLDEN_ANGLE 2.39996323 #define NUMBER 150.0 #define ITERATIONS_STEP 8 //increasing this value means more fps because of less calculations. But also the look is different. Less iterations creates smaller bokeh. There is something in the loop down. Maybe in it could prevent. #define ITERATIONS (GOLDEN_ANGLE * NUMBER) // This creates the 2D offset for the next point. // (r-1.0) is the equivalent to sqrt(0, 1, 2, 3...) float2 Sample(in float theta, inout float r) { r += 1.0 / r; return (r-1.0) * float2(cos(theta), sin(theta)) * .06; } float3 Bokeh(Texture2D tex, float2 uv, float radius, float amount) { float3 acc = float3(0,0,0); float3 div = float3(0,0,0); float2 pixel = float2(aspect, 1.0) * radius * .025; float r = 1.0; for (float j = 0.0; j < ITERATIONS; j += ITERATIONS_STEP) { //using here ITERATIONS_STEP instead of GOLDEN_ANGLE float2 s = Sample(j, r); float2 tuv = uv + pixel * s; // rebuild tuv float nr = min(getRadius(tuv), radius); tuv = uv + pixel * s * (nr/radius); float3 col = tex.Sample(ClampLinearSampler, tuv).rgb; float3 bokeh = float3(5.0, 5.0, 5.0) + pow(col, 9.0) * amount; acc += col * bokeh; div += bokeh; } return acc / div; } The code can be optimized for all cases, but is easier to understand at this stage! This is how it looks like after my tuning. Wide Normal Tele and... Wide Normal Tele I would be glad about feedback and further developments to make DCS even more beautiful. Best greetings from Germany!

Hello! I modified my MiG-21 module in `DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\MIG-21bis\Input\MiG-21\joystick\default.lua` with few lines to extend the possibilities with two and three stage switches. The extension is working, but i wanted to put the configuration in my `Saved Games` folder to avoid the problems with the next update. I created the same path, but its seems not working. Have a working solution for this problem? Regards! Apoth

Hi all. I am attempting to install the SuperBug v1.6 mod to my Steam Edition of DCS world and am unable to see the them. I followed all the instructions I could find on forums and youtube but the Superbug mod doesn't seem to work. I created the "mods" and "coremods" folders in the user>saved games>DCS folder and dropped the appropriate files in there, but they do not show up in DCS. I know I am doing something correctly because the Super Hornet Tanker Mod is showing up and I can fly that, just not the E,F, and G Super Bugs in the other mod. Is there something I am doing wrong that you all figured out? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I'm almost finished with a massive undertaking of a fully fledged ID4 (independence day) experience, but have this simple little hickup, that I can't figure out. I'm amazed how far I've gotten with this mod (though with many sleepless nights, forgotten meals and severe sanity loss as a price), only to get this little detail in the way. I've managed to get the animation with their respective arg's (each within 100 frames) to work in the model viewer as seen in the added images. Tried getting the arg's to play via ME, but I keep getting a static version (as show in the "in game" image), stuck in 0 for each arg-nr. The link to my google drive folder contains videoclips (also contains the images in the post in original quality): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rZrrC487FlppDiahGMyItWEspzyQL_AM?usp=sharing In the clips, you can see how I want the result to play out in game, so in addition to get the animation to work in game at all, I need to know how to apply different durations from -1 to 1 for each arg. Originally I had two additional args, one that also moved the entire ship from point A to point B and a second that kept the ship rotating (which you can see in the clip with rotation) throughout it all. Ideally, I'd like to go back to using those args as well. The idea is to make the entire animation play once from start to finish throughout a mission (30 minutes) that this animation is intended for. The ship moving from point A to point B for 28 minutes, followed by the ship opening and firing its primary weapon for 1 min and 30 seconds (leaving it at the last frame those last 30 seconds) while having the ship rotate the entire 30 minutes. If the engine is somehow too restricted for such grand ideas, my backup plan is to settle with only animating the primary weapon by itself (as shown in the clip without rotation) those last two minutes of the mission. (as shown in the clip without rotation). Please can someone help me with this? If you need more info than what I already added, ask away. Best of regards, Jahn

Ne parlano tutti un gran bene come uno dei migliori MOD in circolazione. Notoriamente i MOD degli elicotteri sono sempre stati promettenti ma hanno portato un sacco di problemi (CH-53 e CH-47) ma pare che questo non ne presenti e anzi sia quasi a livello dei MOD TOP ad ala fissa (A-4, T-45 e F-22). Con l'arrivo dell'Apache manca solo il Kiowa di Polychop per poter ripercorrere le mitiche missioni di Longbow II

Hi all, I share with you my afterburner detent approach for the TWCS that is based on a mechanical parts instead of magnets. There is a lever that must be lift up to allow the throttle continues its movement. Here you are the link to thingverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4925168 The video shows how it acts.

The default cockpit livery will always be displayed, instead of any user made one that you select. I can load my livery just fine when using the model viewer, but can't do it in-game. -> The livery is selected via the game menu (options->special->F-16C->customized Cockpit).

Mezzo e MOD molto interessanti…
