Hi! I have a couple of stand alone modules related to FC3, I update today(feb25) and tested the planes and see no changes, so; ¿Are the stand alone modules with the new textures? Notes: · I'm using vr+fsr I know it now look kinda blurry with the fsr but I know the difference. · I double check using the default texture (I have the blue english texturepack) · I also have texture config to high · Also can you fix the carrier weird reflections pls ?(the red lines in surface by the mirror) · Is the su25t with new textures? (I tried that too without luck) Edit 2: Looks like the new texture are running (based on switch red colour in the video) but it looks to blurry vs the video, vs a full module (I have the JF17) but

The wing vapor effect is completely absent on the Su-27/33...you can pull as many high G´s as you you wish there s no effect on the aircraft. Also the vapor effect on Flankers are wrong that they have no vapors on the wing/airframe edge like on the pictures. Only on the J-11A module are visible vapor effects but none also at the wing/airframe edge.

Basically what the title says: FC3 aircraft can't communicate with JTACs to make it lase a ground target. The only alternative is to use a scripted one

Hello everyone. I hope you are fine. SU-33 is a beautiful livery for our friends. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315935/

Hello, I would like to make a request, that they add the external lights of the AOA since all the other planes work like the f18 or the f14, and I would like the su 33 to work also to completely simulate a landing and also make very good ones you catch too

OPERATION DESERT STORM | FICTIONAL | INFORMATION LETTER SHORT REMINDER: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAL LIFE OPERATION DESERT STORM! __________________________________________________________ Singleplayer - YES Multiplayer - YES COOP - YES Each other - YES Against each other - YES __________________________________________________________ Syria Map - Required Carrier Module - Highly Recommended Tf-51 / Is Free & should be Pre Installed Gray Shark Skin - Recommended 16-32 GB Ram - Recommended Hello and welcome to the information sheet on the mission "Operation Desert Storm" Operation Desert Storm is a dynamic mission that means there are multiple possible endings! You can play Operation Desert Storm alone, in co-op or against each other! There are no limits! The main goal in Operation Desert Storm is to take out the enemy aircraft (AI) and then land! Whoever manages this first, decides the victory for his faction! If one faction wins, the other faction loses! Again, you can fight the AI with a friend and then land. Or you can fight the enemy AI on your own while your friend / enemy has to do the same against you! The first to turn off all targets wins! You can of course do 2v2 1v2 and so on, no limits! The location is on the new Syria map and starts at sunrise! Now you are setup for my first Dynamic Mission and I really hope you will enjoy it! I have also added a Airshow! So you can train with oldschool aircraft like the TF51 or BF109! (please keep in mind that this mission does not try to be realistic at all! Its a 100% Generic Fun Mission, something you just wanna throw on without thinking to much and just testing out the latest stuff of DCS!) OPERATION DESERT STORM CONTENT - 2 rival factions, each with 4 selectable airmen - Real radio messages from the political groups: USA & RUSSIA - Different endings possible (Dynamic Mission) - Audio announcements if a team member has died or an enemy player has been eliminated. - Audio announcements if an enemy is sighted in the area & warning if you are in an enemy area. - The latest carriers are available for both factions! - SAM targets available for both factions (A-10II, SU25T - to counter SAM site) - Mission briefing for each Faction! - RAM friendly, despawning of cinematic aircrafts, carrier and assets only spawn when needed (if you spawn inside a f14 it will unlock the carrier (same for russian carrier and cinematic aircraft) - Many many IF conditions for a balanced game flow - Self-made mission pictures so that you know what your task is! - Airshow (Ram friendly, if you spawn in a Neutral aircraft everything that is related with the Operation Desert Storm Mission will despawn so you save Ram and can press F2 without seeing other aircraft then yours! REAL ATC AUDIO RECORDINGS For an immersive feeling! Russian and American Voices! Alerts and kill confirmation Voice!

So please evaluate the mission and not the name! And for the Haters: If you are not able to read a description then i cant help you! The name is definently not a misleading Title, i wrote down like a 100 times that this mission is Fictional! With best regards BlazeXI

Hello all, I'm inviting anyone who would like to participate to an AIN ship operations multi-player mission. We are going to run it on Caucasus map with no mods. There will be 4 big ships, super carrier, non super carrier, Tarawa, and Kutz for the flanker pilots. The mission will have active csar/ctld so the helo pilots can do plane guard duty while the jets do flight operations. AIN will have tutors for all the fixed wing, and at least a few of the helicopter models. There will be a few low threat level ground targets so people can practice that as well. We haven't yet set an exact time and date for this training, as we're going to run it several times, and we'll likely leave the server open and without a password while this mission runs. So come out and hop in your favorite aircraft and do some carrier practice. The tacans will work, as will the ICLS so you can even do automatic carrier landings in your tomcat. There will be tankers up with active TACANs and easy comms will be enabled. The mission will be "AIN Ship operations" in multi-player. Here is the link to our discord.https://discord.gg/JuBydbsfDn More information will be forthcoming, and I'll will add to this post. We hope you'll show up regardless of your flight experince level. We'll see you in the skies!

hello, today i wanted to install some su33 liveries but in coremods i cant find it, i can find the su34 but not the 33, what can i do?

Hi all, after completing my "Su33 Cockpit Instrument Reflection Mod" that reduced and/or eliminated the reflection from the Su-33 dials and gauges (found at: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313194/), I heard from some pilots who requested I do the same for the Flanker's HDD. Happy to oblige! Since the HDD reflection is defined by altering a different cockpit file, I decided to create this as a sister-mod to the gauge and dial reflection mod. You don't need the other mod to alter the reflection of the HDD, but they definitely go together to address the whole cockpit reflection gauge/dial/HDD look which many feel is too pronounced and difficult to read clearly. And Flanker pilots from the early DOS and Lock-On days may recognize the return of the overlay grid on the HDD This new HDD reflection mod can be found at: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3314230/ Here's a shot to show you one of the ways you can tame that highly reflective HDD with this mod: Happy Flying!

Hi! I am a new player and I am wondering what module I should get. Because It is cheap, I will only be getting one of the FC3 aircraft (A10A, F15, Su27/J11, Su33 and Mig29). I have created a poll as to which aircraft I should buy and could I ask you why you chose that option in the discussion below. Thanks!

su33 weapons panel doesnt show what type of weapon we choose or what type of mode we on it just stays on the |////| where as the su27 and in j-11a the weapons panel is showing details whether we choose air to air nullmode or air to ground , gun ammo. please implement this in su33, its our fav plane please!!!!.... it will really improve our game play experience
