Pretty much every helo in DCS has an option in special settings to disable pedal trim when hitting the trimmer button, its particularly awful when your pedals recenter.

Not to seem uungrateful of the coming changes, but I would love to see the commands for 'De-Slaved' and 'TADS LOS Search' swap positioins on the interface as per attached pic. This just seems logical to me to have both the instant 'Search' commands be controlled by the short-press positions, and essentially the two 'Disengage' commands that you are more likely to use after engagement be both linked to the long press positions. I mean having 'up-short' for PHS search, and 'down-short' for TADS search seems ideal? I have also lot count of the number of times I have wanted to quickly re-engage a target group, only to have George de-slave the TADS away entirely, requiring me to try and re-position my cross on the target area again to re-search! This forced me to always have the VID page up with TADS and just hold down till I see the zoom level change (which seems to be 2-3 secs, not 0.5 as per the manual), to know for sure he was going to search again. This will be mitigated of course with the upcoming changes, but my first points stands - it just seems logical. I would also be interested to hear why the devs decided on the current layout, as there may be a reason I am not thinking of - perhaps keeping to two 'Slave TADS to...' options the same 'short' action, which looks ok on paper but is not really how it operates in practice?

Are we ever gonna get some VR support for CA? I mean CA looks breathtaking in VR, and if it wasn’t for the messed up interface for gunner & machine gun positions that pretty much prevent you to hit anything at all. Hope this gets fixed one day so I can use it a lot more in VR. Not seeing the point at all of having VR support for basically all the other Modules but not for CA.

My squadron has several 70+ pilots (2 @ 80yo), and while I expect most of my squadron pilots to be able to AAR in their 'primary' airframe, I don't have the expectation that my older pilots are able to. For many of them it is their first SIM and first video game period. It would be nice if we had an option to allow an easy mode AAR so we could design more of our campaign missions with AAR. I would suggest either an autopilot AAR, or preferably ( and probably easier to implement ) a radius based AAR, if you are within X meters of the tanker you get refueled, only allowing AAR within a certain cone behind the tanker would be good also.

I think a fair number of faithful DCS'ers would love to see the CFM generator restored. It doesn't have to be in place of the new QAG...only in addition to. I think I speak for at least a few in the community who miss the CFM generator. (Yes, I know it had bugs and I'm aware of the WW2 limitations...all of which can be squashed).

Can we please have the option to start in gunner seat in Multiplayer? I know in the Hind you can't even select the front seat if there is no body in the rear already. Since the Apache can be flown from both and George can fly from the back from us it would be nice if we could start from the front without having human in the back. @Wags

I’ve only used the QAG a few times, but noticed if you choose a SEAD mission type, if you click on the ADD button under Targets you can only add more Air Defense sites. So if you wanted some enemy aircraft guarding the SAM sites you can’t do it (unless you save the mission and edit in the ME). Edit: After submitting I saw this same request was made in another QAG feedback thread, so apologies for duplicating.

Any insight ED if this bird will carry the AGM-88G? It was designed to be carried internally on the A and C models. AGM-88G AARGM-ER...Picture a HARM but sleeker and twice the range. Same guidance and same warhead as the AGM-88E. Can also be carried on the F-16 as well.

Any plans for sniper Pod integration with the large area display in the cockpit? I realize it might be a little too late for our F-15C though. Had to ask though.

Some rearm options (FCR and IFAS) make no sense to be done hot. Require the engines to be off for those. The Su-25 already requires engine off for rearming, because the jet exhaust is dangerous. How are spinning blades not dangerous when you install an FCR on the rotor hub?

The current solution with the kneeboard looks rather unprofessional and also feels out of place. Requiring engines off is also a bit weird. From what i understand, the flare program is set on an external panel. Unless that panel is in a dangerous spot, it should be able to be accessed even with spinning blades. I propose that the flare setting be put in the rearm screen instead. That way it can only be changed on the ground by ground crew and without the weird kneeboard page.

This aircraft is equiped with new features: TACAN, Radios, UFC , IFF like in F-16C, New Color MPD with SA page and Navigation page. It would be GREAT to fly such plane. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiG-29#/media/Plik:Polski_mig_29_kokpit.JPG

I'm loving my Viper, it's my new favourite aircraft. Just wondering if the block or version we used would have the AGM-158 JASSM as a stand off weapon. It would be fantastic to see. I like the SLAM- ER on the Hornet, so having an equivalent on the VIper would be great. Just a thought Thanks for all your hard work & dedication to these fantastic modules.

We need to be able to pick up soldiers like this for transport and evac missions. It is not important to have a graphical representation of the outside passenger in the sim. The only things that needs to be simulated is an adjusted (center of) mass of the Apache and the possibility to accidentally drop the passenger during abrupt maneuvers.

P137 of the manual describes the FFD display option, which is marked as N/I. Not clear whether this will ever be implemented, but if would make the digital map much more useful. It wouldn't even need to show all of the features the real aircraft is capable of - even just water, roads, urban areas, forests and ideally political boundaries would be awesome. I guess it might be quite a lot of work to construct this for each map, but actually I'd be delighted if we could have the F10 map on the TSD somehow, even if it isn't realistic. Using the charts are fine, but if you zoom in much it disappears, and while you can set the map scale independently of the zoom scale it is immediately lost as soon as you change the zoom so is a faff.

I know it isn't realistic, but I like it and I'd love it to be available as an option in AH-64 Special setting. For folks who prefer authentic/realistic PNVS, they can just tick it off in the option and everyone goes on their merry way. What do you think?

Edit ED - I don’t know game development but hope this is a good idea so I’m spitballin.’ Original “Babe they gave me the Hornet for the weekend and I get to take up my buddy, I’m taking him to the range for a weapons shot too!!!!” Sadly we don’t get to say this virtually yet but I see it coming cuz it’s a pretty good idea…… 2 parts to this / 1 we need a method to teach current vFighter Pilots in the same plane / 2 and a way to get new vPilots interested in Mil flying. 1 vFighter Pilots This sim is awesome and current Trg Missions work for system review but so many times vPilots are stuck not knowing basics, for example: pitch is airspeed - power is altitude // how do I fly a circuit? // what’s a smooth lead look like?// how do two planes fly together as a form? // BFM - bandit crossed my 6 close, fast, large HCA - ahhhh scissors? // Turn circle entry… wait do I turn now?? Totally cool as that’s not taught in game nor can you be expected to squeeze it in. It remains a huge gap however that leaves players shy to ask when they don’t know how to fly or floundering in Single Player as they are afraid to come mess up in multi. I see it all the time, guys stuck in a corner bashful to ask a bad question. All of this solved with platform for Dual Instruction. There are a tons of RL flyers in game and many more that are not RL but absolutely excellent vFlyers and good instructors. Operating in a 2 ship of ‘single seat aircraft’ while trying to teach basics is difficult. I know we can stream Discord to see their cockpit and help with ‘words’ but nothing beats “I have control” and placing the aircraft in a certain piece of sky or manipulating their screens in real time in their cockpit to better show a sight picture. Circuits/ TAC Form/ Basic Surface Attack/ RADAR VID / Skate / Banzai etc. All of those lessons would be amazing to share in the same aircraft. As the Hornet is a DCS staple that almost all players have it’s a great one to make dual. 2 New vPilots (bringing in new DCS $$$) A bonus idea - make the B model free for players that don’t have it or DCS. Give them ‘back seat’ rides only so we can share what we are doing in here and get more eyeballs on the fun side of Military flying. It will help get more people into DCS (show em they can do it), grow the biz side and make more money for ya after they get a taste and dive in. Current aircraft, the TF-51 and SU-25T are not representative of what u guys offer or how much DCS has matured. Time to step it up. Create a Free B model Hornet ‘back seat,’ with ur current free maps. BOOM, all ur dreams will come true! ~Vote for Pedro You can’t miss!! Duals would be a really smart move. You can also charge 10$ for a new dual too - but polish up the textures to the new standards. Last thing : Do the same for the 16 after u get the F-18B out the door. Every one will grab that aircraft too. Anyway I’ll keep my hopes up while you think about it. P.s thank you again for letting me fly out my dream of being a fighter pilot!!!!!!!

I personally own many modules that I never fly with. Instead of keeping them stored to die in my account, and since by policy, purchased modules cannot be transferred even in free form to a friend, it would be a very good idea, to revoke the license to use a DCS module, and in return get ED miles. perhaps based on a percentage of the module's purchase value. That way, the user gets rid of a module he or she does not use and can invest the ED miles perhaps for some other purchase. Going to gain us ED and customer, also because I think some money will have to be added to the ED miles. What do you guys think? ED could update the conditions on licenses and add this new option.

Any chance we could get this???? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B61_nuclear_bomb Would make a nice addition for Syria/Incirlik ops with alert birds during the Cold War.

Sometimes, flights could take some time. Wouldn't it be great, if George starts talking stories (about his family), jokes or singing... comment the weather Or even comment some actions "Die bastard", "yeah", "We are fu..." ...

It would be awesome when we can see on PvP servers which users are using VR and TrackIR at that very moment, 1. to see if one team is stacked with VR/TrackIR players vs. the other team almost purely using joystick coolie-hat for view-control for example, and 2. to see after a dogfight whether the killed player or the player who shot you down was using VR/TrackIR at the time. It would also finally allow us to collect statistics on whether VR pilots are better pilots than TrackIR- or coolie-hat players (and to confirm this theory once and for all). Thank you.

DCS need monthly billing system for theaters. Clients are also forced to purchase paid theater DLCs for multiplayer games, Eventually, most of them will be abandoned. The beautiful sky of Normandie and channel is also. The South American theater may be the same. ED should be additional billing system that allows players easy to access all theaters. "Something like All theater DLCs for 2.99/mo".

Add it back

For double or triple agm-65

Hi, in ME, when the view is in SAT mode, textures of Crimea (also with cities, airports, etc.) are pretty good observable. Until bigger zoom, when these suddenly dissappear. Is there something on plan? Would be very nice to have this area back (especially now). Thanks.
