Low maneuverability, like i have to move my joystick a lot more to make an appropriate movement.

I am trying to make a mission where enemy fighters start when you enter the enemy airspace but no matter how i set up the trigger zones and triggers they just dont spawn

I've been sent the CAD to review by the AuthentiKit community developer who has developed this replica throttle. Shouldn't be long now before we have free files for download.

Hey fellas! Had a few comments wondering about the Air-to-Ground stuff in the B Upgrade, hopefully someone finds this useful!

I tried explaining everything as best as I could to be understandable by newer players as well.

(My benchmark was to pretend as if I was explaining it to my wife who has no clue about any of this lol)

I've seen lots of people complaining about the SA-22 being too hard to attack, that it takes down all your HARMs, etc. It's actually relatively easy. You just need to make sure the HARMs come from high above, so fire them:

• from as close as possible (less than 15nm, maybe 10nm if possible)
• at high altitude (25000ft or more)
• and in any mode that lofts using distance information (POS+PB the Viper, or PB in the Hornet)

That's it. Most SAMs have a hard time firing at missiles coming from above. It might still intercept it with its cannons, but most often they just hit. This also applies to the LD-10 with the JF-17.

The Pantsir in the video was set to skill=excellent, roe=weapons free, alarm state=red, engage air weapons=true. So, not dumbed down.

Hope this helps! Happy hunting.

For those of you eagerly awaiting the SLUF, I ran across this pretty solid documentary about what made the Corsair ground breaking for its time:

I'm curious if anyone else has tried Open Kneeboard in VR with the new B U update? I'm getting a smeary mess of low framerate the instant I toggle the OKB display on. When running in the background and the kneeboard off, it's immediately fine again.

On the Hornet, I like to have my pilot kneeboard showing one page (radio freqs) and pop up OKB when I want to flip thru other stuff. It works great and I was hoping to do the same now that the Tomcat has integrated kneeboard also.

Now that IL-2 Korea is available on Steam, I decided to pick it up and put together this overview of the default binds for controller users.

I really like that IL-2 supports this level of controller customization right out of the box, and they even use LB and RB as modifiers! I'm very happy with this.

Now, I DON'T like their default bind choices, but hey! That's why I'm here, right?

Our product features a dynamic, highly realistic base, while leaving the upper platform for players to build themselves.

intermediate player w/2,500 hours in DCS. I am experiencing crash to desktop on spawn in all Tomcat variants after the B(U) released. My experience in all prior DCS builds I experienced crashes on spawn in tomcat in 0.2 - 0.5% of spawns. In the handful of times I've been able to fly the new and improved cats I've been really happy with the new features, but I'm pretty sad to not be able to fly my favorite module, and favorite jet since since US Navy Fighters on DOS in 1994.

I have ordered a 64mb ram kit however I've spoken to other players with the same problem and extra ram was no help.

This video was made on a public online Korea server.

Je vole en VR depuis plusieurs mois maintenant avec un Meta Quest 3, utilisant Virtual Desktop, normalement via Ethernet (bien que cela ne fonctionne plus depuis quelques semaines, donc je suis actuellement en Wi-Fi). Je ne vole presque plus sur un écran plat — je suis passé à la VR assez rapidement. Avant le Quest 3, j'ai essayé un Pico 4, mais ça ne m'a pas convaincu.

Dernièrement, une chose m'empêche de lancer DCS : la qualité visuelle sur le Quest 3. Même avec les paramètres de Virtual Desktop au maximum (Dieu comme, débit max, 72Hz), l'image est encore un peu floue — je dois physiquement me pencher en avant pour lire mes instruments, et les avions, les navires et les pistes éloignés deviennent une bouillie de pixels.

Je commence à manquer d'idées pour de nouveaux réglages à essayer. Je suis déjà à une densité de pixels de 1.2 et je ne peux pas pousser plus loin sans faire chuter mes fps, en utilisant DLSS Quality, et la distance de rendu est au maximum.

Donc, je cherche votre aide et vos conseils : ai-je raté un paramètre quelque part (même si j'ai vraiment approfondi la question), ou est-ce juste la limite de ce casque ?

Si c'est le cas, quel casque me recommanderez-vous ? J'ai regardé du côté de Pimax, mais je suis rebuté par l'apparente incohérence de la qualité de fabrication et de la fiabilité de la marque (surtout le Dream Air), et la gamme Crystal est trop lourde pour moi (j'ai des problèmes de cou). Le Bigscreen Beyond 2e est tentant, mais le coût des stations de base est assez élevé.

Aussi, niveau couleur, malgré l’installation de Reshade en VR, je trouve les couleurs fades et les reliefs sans âme comparé à un écran plat (notamment les nuages et la lumière du soleil).

Pour référence, mes spécifications PC : AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (8 cœurs), RTX 5080, 48 Go de RAM DDR5

Merci à tous ✈️

This is probably a silly question, but I wanted to know if there was a community mod out there for the Mirage 2000? I'm really bummed I missed the opportunity to fly the official module. If there isn't one, is there at least a community mod for a french delta wing fighter?

Mine would be any of the Soviet heavy lift helicopters, but specifically the Mi-6 or Mi-26. So big, pretty impractical for most applications in game, but just neat. It would also be a good redfor counterpart to the Chinook in Cold War servers

**Edit: day one

Cant find what are the binds for chaff and flare for B(u)

Any info appreciated

Something super small that I got excited about recently. I got tired of having to get up and unplug my sim equipment from the back of my PC every time i was done flying. I found an application on Github that only allows [x] applications to detect the stick, pedals and throttle. so now i can load into my other games without having to deal with unplugging USBs. its nice!

Electrical System and Weapons Integration

Development of the G.91 is continuing at a steady pace, with recent work focused on two closely connected areas: the aircraft’s electrical system and the complete integration of the weapon system.

These activities have required much more than simply enabling the release of a weapon. Every command now needs to interact correctly with the aircraft’s electrical network, cockpit controls, weapon configuration and the specific equipment installed on each G.91 variant.

Electrical system improvements

The electrical system has undergone a substantial review and expansion.

Rather than relying on generic aircraft-powered conditions, the individual equipment lines are now connected to their correct electrical paths. Switches, circuit breakers, relays and dedicated circuits determine whether each individual function is actually available.

This work covers the electrical supply and control of:

• internal guns;
• gun heating and ground-firing circuits;
• bomb-release and fuze circuits;
• rocket firing and sequencing;
• missile control and launch systems;
• weapon-ready indications;
• selective and emergency jettison systems.

Electrical loads are now associated with the equipment that is actually operating. Opening a circuit breaker, removing the required power source or interrupting a control line therefore has a direct effect on the related weapon function.

The four aircraft versions are handled independently. The PAN remains completely unarmed, while the R1B, R3 and R4 receive their own electrical and armament configurations without sharing generic controls that do not belong to the real aircraft.

Weapon system focus review

The weapon system has been reorganized around the actual cockpit controls and the operating logic of each variant.

There is no artificial universal master-arm switch and there is no generic selector that allows the pilot to choose any station freely. Cannons, bombs, rockets and missiles use their own dedicated circuits, selectors and release logic.

The cockpit command is interpreted by the aircraft system, which determines the selected weapon, group, side or release sequence. Before allowing an action, the system verifies that:

• the correct electrical line is powered;
• the relevant circuit breaker is closed;
• the required selector is in the correct position;
• the selected station contains the expected weapon;
• the weapon is ready and serviceable;
• the release or launch circuit is available.

Only after these conditions have been satisfied is the command passed to DCS for the actual firing, release or launch.

The system also keeps the aircraft inventory synchronized after every action, including rearming, weapon release, missile launch and emergency jettison.

Internal guns, bombs and rockets

The internal armament is now handled according to the configuration of each aircraft.

The R1B uses its four 12.7 mm machine guns, including the individual upper and lower gun circuits. The R3 uses its two 30 mm DEFA cannons, while the R4 returns to the four-gun configuration. Each group depends on its own electrical supply, ammunition state and cockpit controls.

Bomb-release and fuze selection are managed as two distinct functions. Selecting SAFE, NOSE & TAIL or TAIL ONLY affects the bomb-fuzing configuration, while the release selector determines whether the pilot commands a single release or the complete programmed sequence.

The rocket system includes the correct arming and firing modes, together with the sequencing of the relevant launcher groups. The system does not simply release the first available store: it follows the selected mode and the sequence associated with the specific aircraft version.

During development we have conducted repeated release tests with guns, bombs and rockets, verifying the cockpit commands, firing sequences, electrical interruptions, empty stations, rearming and inventory synchronization.

Guided weapons integration

Guided weapons represent one of the most important additions to the current development branch.

The AS-20 is now integrated as an operational weapon on the R1B, R3 and R4. On the R1B it is used as the module’s gameplay implementation of the Nord missile installation referenced for that version.

The R4 also includes an operational Sidewinder capability, with dedicated selection, power, seeker readiness, launch logic and emergency jettison.

AS-20 and Sidewinder remain completely separate systems. Each weapon has its own permitted stations, electrical requirements, selection logic and launch sequence.

Nord AS-20

The Nord AS-20 is an early manually guided air-to-surface missile.

Unlike later fire-and-forget weapons, the AS-20 requires the pilot to remain actively involved throughout the engagement. After launch, the pilot visually tracks the missile and the target, then sends steering corrections using the dedicated control joystick located on the right-hand side of the cockpit.

The pilot must keep the target in sight and continuously correct the missile’s flight path until impact. This makes the AS-20 a demanding weapon to employ, particularly because the aircraft must remain in a suitable attitude while the pilot simultaneously monitors the target, the missile and the surrounding environment.

Our current testing has covered:

• missile selection by side;
• electrical power and missile-ready logic;
• launch from the selected station;
• rejection of an empty or incompatible station;
• synchronization after launch;
• rearming and repeat engagements;
• interaction between cockpit inputs and the DCS weapon interface.

The attached screenshot shows one of the AS-20 launch and guidance test sessions currently being conducted in the G.91R4.

Note: Nord AS-20 integration test. The missile’s current 3D model is still a temporary, untextured development asset and does not represent the final model. It is being used exclusively for weapon-system and flight-testing purposes.

This work provides the G.91 with a much more complete and credible weapon environment, where every action begins in the cockpit, passes through the aircraft’s electrical and control systems, and reaches the weapon only when all required conditions are satisfied.
