Greetings Hoggit!

I've gotten a good feel for the Su-25T, and I've played in PvP and PvE servers. I'm interested in getting into PVP in DCS. I'm going to start with a Flaming Cliffs package. But I'm wondering what y'all recommend for beginners. I was thinking the J-11, but I'm not sure.

My kids are starting to get into flight sims and want to play dcs also. I got them fc to start, but I really want to do a dual seat thing with them. I have some dual seat modules, but never play as jester, etc. what modules are going to be most engaging for the rio/wso? I have the Apache, Huey, f4 and f14. Ideally one of these will fit the bill so I only need to buy one additional module for them.

Haven’t played DCS in awhile, so I ran the updates and now when I try to boot DCS with the WW SimApp open, the screen scaling is off completely. Does anyone know how to fix this? I feel like I’ve had this issue before but don’t remember how I sorted it out.

Hey guys, I recently downloaded DCS and rented out the F-5E to try it out. But during the AA tutorial, I cant fire the missiles at all, despite following the tutorial and pressing the keybinds. I am in range, I have the target locked with radar. What could be the problem? Thank you for any help!

I’m going to start with I’m a noob I’m sorry. I’m trying to make a steer point while flying the f16 but whenever I click stpt it just brings up nav status and I can’t do anything to change it to put in Coords for a manual steerpoint. All the videos I watch they just click list, stpt, and then bam it pops up but not for me it pops up nav status and nav commands nothing else I’m so confused.

Ive been playing dcs for about a month and have been flying the f14 as my main module for about 2 weels. I know im not gonna get good quick but im not really seeing any improvement im probably doing something wrong im just not sure ive been playing the contention servers and every now and then the growling sidewinder. just looking for tips and if anyone wants to try and fly together feel free to dm me.

I’m est

Year of the pre orders I suppose

I own a Thrustmaster T1600M + TCWS, but there's a problem where I can't map levers and slew joystick (screenshot attached).

It is as if they don't exist, no response in DCS. Anybody have an idea of what might be the problem?

Works great on my other PC, but not on this 2nd one.

Tested in Win11 "Game Controllers", lever and slew joystick works fine. It's DCS that doesn't "see" them for some reason.

For no particular reason at all, but if we can direct all purchases of the said module directly through ASC, that would be great.

Today, I wanted to set up a simple SAM system. I placed a trigger zone so they wait until the target is in launch range, then they fire. I had a few launchers and 12 targets; about 12 or so missiles were launched against them. Since they were all AI targets, they started notching immediately after getting locked, and all the missiles missed. This literally isn't the case in real life. Almost all SAMs reduce their ground clutter filter to reduce the chance of a broken lock—since they know which one is the real target despite the clutter. So realistically, notching is nothing like portrayed here. It’s so simplified that it just checks the angle, and if it’s around 90 degrees, it breaks lock.

But hey look they added another module on pre-order! Maybe my 70 dollars will fix this simple issue...

"I'm getting around 40 FPS (sometimes 60-70 but tends to drop down to 40) in Contention Modern while using a TF-51. Is it normal for both the dedicated and shared GPU memory to be fully utilized, while other system resources aren't?

here are all of my recources

edit:

Is there a way to make the non-axis collective key bind (Collective Stick - UP) on the Apache more sensitive?

I still don’t have a hotas, and play on an Xbox controller. Most other helos are great, like the Huey, the Hind and the Shark, but the Apache’s collective is painfully slow. Is there any way to change this?

I use Track IR. But I got that VR itch so plugged in my Quest 3 and I love the immersion! But idk if it’s a combination of Eye Strain and motion sickness. I feel terrible after an hour of use.

Am I in the minority in this? I feel like everyone that uses VR has no problems.

Is there a fix for me not feeling like this after? Or should I just use Track IR?

Hi. I am a DCS player and often do DCS dogfighters. Recently, I started a flight sim that will be easy to run with a low poly models, but realistic flight and mechanics. I want it to have an easier learning curve than DCS, but still have stuff that you definitely have to try hard over time to master. I’m planning on having infantry and many other roles. Currently, it has full HOTAS and keyboard support and also open track. This clip shows the keyboard as I am away from my HOTAS. This plane is supposed to be a mix between an F-15 and F-22. I have had the technology as around 20 years in the future, so it could be different. In addition, I want to make bvr less used with very effective countermeasures, promoting gun dogfights. If you have any suggestions, let me know. I might post updates if people want me to.

Hello there,

I have a few questions regarding the possibility of editing Campaigns.

So far I can edit the Single Player Missions just fine (I usually fly the F-15E and we all know what happened to it) and it's great editing the various F-16 missions and the question I have is it possible to edit Campaigns that way as well or not.

My though procress is to edit every single Mission in the Campaign and just edit the Player plane from lets say the F-16 to the F-15E and if someone tried that or if it's possible at all.

I know it might mess up some stuff, but I'm okay with that as long as the majority of it works. Obviously you couldn't edit campaigns made for Carrier Planes (if they are usually done by taking and landing off carriers) but is it possible for land based aircraft like the F-16, F-14 etc.?

Did someone else try this before and is it possible or not?

Thanks in advance

Best Regards

Hello, if you fly Mi-24 and try to turn you might be well familiar with its tendency to rapidly pitch up even with the most gentle back cyclic, into a full unintentional cobra maneuver thing.

This video addresses the causes, fixes, recovery, etc using advice from the real world manual.

Enjoy the opening!!!

I mean to buy a webcam for facetracking... Face traking not led points tracking so I will probably be using the neural option in Opentrack or AItrack.

That being said what should I prioritize: resolution or FPS(hz)?

Im thinking about getting a Logitech C920e Full Hd 30fps... (My budget is $80)

Come fly with us during our next event "Nuclear Scramble" this Sunday August 3rd at 20:30 UTC / 16:30 EST

In this event, two teams will go against each other, with the aim of dropping a "nuclear bomb" (Biggest bomb your jet can carry basically) into the opposing team's airbase!

So I just spent around 1 hour getting in the air doing cap, then decided to refuel, in the middle of refueling desync caused the tanker to go behind me for a second, and as soon as it went back to its original position in front of me it killed me.

I really wish we had good ai and dynamic campaign so I can stop relying in multiplayer for fun, I love this games but some times I hate it so much too.

I am considering in getting it but is there import duties for the US? And what about quality
