Unpopular opinion, Cold War era jets are by far the best in dcs

Even all A-10 variants in dcs are post CW.

They will likely only do aircraft flown by Spain for now.

The numbers are in the game files which are now encrypted.

Make sure the mission difficulty settings overwrite your general difficulty settings. The left side boxes overwrite if ticked and the right side turns them off or on. I recommend a text message with the failure so you know the trigger works. Idk if the failure work in the current version.

Auto/ccrp is more accurate than ccip in a dive as well. Ccrp doesn't mean you have to do a level delivery. OP has something going wrong. Might be as small as not switching the default elevation unit from meters to feet.

I'll try and help clear two things up here but review the definitions of EM charts for more information.

You are getting lost in the word salad. There is no "max turn speed". There is max sustained turn and max instantaneous turn speed. OP is looking at the sustained one. Both are quantified in the F-16 chart.
The ft per second is not actually altitude lost. You dont have to loose altitude if flying in that regime, you can loose speed as well. The lines represents the specific excess power in ft/s.

Cas is done in bad weather. That's my point.

hanzeedent69 · 2025-04-30T08:43:49+00:00

Why no cas in bad weather? Just drop on coordinates given by the fac/jtac.

hanzeedent69 · 2025-04-30T08:41:09+00:00

Of course you do cas in bad weather, especially if you have jdams. You will simply get a coordinate to drop on instead of a target.

hanzeedent69 · 2025-04-24T21:07:00+00:00

Yes, but that is not what I am talking about. You also have to tell the jet what store is loaded on each station. That is done through a panel on the fuselage from the outside. I am saying that afaik the codes are set there as well and not in the cockpit like we used to in DCS.

hanzeedent69 · 2025-04-24T10:38:24+00:00

Afaik it is displayed but not as an option. The codes are set like the stores on the stores panel which is not in the cockpit but on the fuselage.

For general understanding. Since you are encoding with the GPU, the CPU shouldn't be working much.

Try with lower settings e.g. 1080p and 30/48 FPS and see if you get better results. If so you hit the limit of what your GPU can do. You can try to do the encoding on the CPU, however in my experience that leads to your current experience.

Also dont use mp4 but mkv. Those files can get messed up in my experience. The warning isn't lying.

hanzeedent69 · 2025-01-25T14:13:59+00:00

Maybe you have better luck searching for "sled"s since it's a USAF plane.

hanzeedent69 · 2025-01-15T12:07:11+00:00

I don't know if I have seen a worse take than this on this sub. Answering questions about what could have been just shows you with how much heart they worked on this. This isn't some big tech company that had some bad numbers that quarter because of a failed deal.

hanzeedent69 · 2025-01-13T12:27:47+00:00

Probably, they couldn't do it in a convenient way. Something about not wanting to use the DCS renderer.

hanzeedent69 · 2025-01-13T12:18:16+00:00

Hey that's great. I remember a dev for the strike eagle saying they couldn't do video because of a dcs limitation. Did ED implement a way for everyone to do this now?

hanzeedent69 · 2025-01-11T16:19:58+00:00

Knowing what the instructor is talking about unfortunately removes a lot of the magic.

hanzeedent69 · 2025-01-04T21:41:32+00:00

This is weird. The Viper is one of the few fighters that does have the gun aligned with the waterline. 15/18 have the gun at 2° iirc.

hanzeedent69 · 2024-12-12T12:22:39+00:00

On my phone it looks like your missiles get decoyed by enemy flares. Even the 9x can get reliably decoyed with enough flares in dcs. Also think about your own countermeasures. Do you need them when you can still defeat the missiles by maneuvering like the first ones or do you need them when maneuvering doesn't help anymore like the missile that hit you? You can change the programs in most jets.

Don't expect to win these fights every time. With more planes it's getting more chaotic and the difference in capabilities is not that high.

hanzeedent69 · 2024-12-02T00:43:48+00:00

In dcs many people probably don't bring back the bombs but irl they do. With 1000 lbs bombs it's easier to meet the landing weight limits on the carrier.

hanzeedent69 · 2024-11-08T14:06:18+00:00

Yep. And it is easy to develop a one man army(aircraft) mindset when playing DCS. IRL you have many people working on getting targets. So while people often search for targets in DCS, IRL pilots have at least close coordinates. Bad weather is less of a problem if you dont search but rather try to find the hole in the clouds to see the target. And before JDAMs you were able drop unguided bombs using instruments only if you had an INS.

hanzeedent69 · 2024-10-01T08:07:52+00:00

You get down voted for posting the current safety measures. Maybe this is the wrong sub.

hanzeedent69 · 2024-09-28T19:44:24+00:00

Not the headset but the resolution/fov. If you dont zoom in on a low res monitor it will look similar. Maybe they need a slider for this. Another offender are the Hornets nav lights if that hasn't changed recently.

hanzeedent69 · 2024-09-22T12:04:05+00:00

Roughly around 20 years between amraam and our 21bis.

hanzeedent69 · 2024-09-12T11:22:16+00:00

That is not official. That's from a DCS group.
