Mission: Intercept
Result:
The squadron proceeded to patrol area. As we approached White 1 called out a bogey approaching and called White 2 to break. Bogey attacked and was I/D'd as an Me 109. White 2 managed to reverse positions and swiftly dispatched the bandit.
Squadron continued patrol and a few minures later Red 2 spotted a gaggle of ~10 Me 109s North of the target. Squadron bounced the e/a and enagaged. 8 e/a destroyed. Good cross cover and call outs.
1 friendly aircraft destroyed, 1 friendly aircraft force landed damaged near Euskichen.
Personal tally:
Air:
3.5x Bf 109G (1 shared with Red 2)

As for mission idea, sold!

Hi Col, sorry I couldn't get to a machine to check and answer this sooner.
If the ststic pilot is definable as a group, then the action you need is 'Group Deactivate'.
If not, that's something we can look into. Should be doable.

Mission: Attack Enemy Artillery position.
Result: Artillery position wiped out.
The squadron spotted and engaged a pair of s/e e/a just as we crossed the lines; however on setting up to bounce this formation a second group of 3x E/A were spotted closing on White Flight. White Flight ordered to continue pressing the attack on the first formation and Red flight instructed to reverse heading and attack the new formation. Red Leader was jumped by a 6th unseen a/c and took damage to his empennage but a/c was still controllable and fightable. Red Leader ordered all bombs jettissoned and a general melee ensued. All s/e e/a were eventually destroyed, with note being made of the heroic actions of White 1, Lt Barry Cuda; he destroyed 2 e/a before tragically colliding with a 3rd.
Red 3 & 4 pursued a bandit to the SE and downed it, but on attempting to rejoin were engaged by a single twin-engined type identified as an ME-410. This was swiftly dispatched, however not before damaging Red 3s port motor and forcing him to abort the mission with Red 4 covering.
Reds 1 & 2 and White 2 pressed on to target and strafed successfully. White 2 was hit by machine gun fire whilst attacking and was leaking coolant form the port radiator; despite this he pressed home the attack on 3 more occasions. With target destoyed and two of the 3 aircraft damaged the remainder of the formation set out for home.
Red 4's adventures continued when he engaged a group of e/a alone over the airfields NW of Volkel, damaging an Ar 234 before suffering heavy damage at the hands of their escort. He however force landed safely on a single engine at Volkel - though his one good engine expired as he crossed the threshold!
2 friendly aircraft force landed damaged Volkel, 2 friendly aircraft force landed damaged Venlo, 1 friendly aircraft landed undamaged Venlo ; 1 friendly aircraft destroyed.
Personal tally:
Air:
1x Bf 109G
Ground:
1x Heavy Flak
5x Artillery
1x Truck

HELLO PILOTS
Welcome to Digital Train Simulator
We paid attention to the production of railway lines - this is not accidental, because railways are an important part of the infrastructure. During the war, the railroad accounted for most of the cargo turnover of the participating countries. Railway stations are important targets, landmarks, and train stations in London and Paris are real architectural treasures.

Hi Dave,
1) As for your system specs:
CPU = Great! Especially with the recent multi-threading release.
RAM = Below average. 16GB is a sub-optimal. DCS prefers 32GB and is happiest on 64GB.
GPU = Below average. It'll run but you'll have to dial back the eye-candy. If you have the facilities to get hold of even a sound 2nd hand 1080ti then that'd be better.
DCS is free to download so you can try it out before committing any funds; I would say get it just to see how well it will run on your system.
2) Covered by the others, but I'll add that most days we utilise the DDz server dynamic dogfight mission; lots of target options to suit various aircraft and skill levels. We occasionally run a co-op but generating a mission of that ilk to cover all the varied aircraft types/capabilities etc can be a tricky and time consuming for the builder so they can be few and far between.
However, what you often end up doing on the DF map is several different pilots choose a particular target and attempt to us the various capabilities of their chosen mount to run a coordinated strike package; one group take out or reduce the enemy ground air defences, whilst another group attempt to keep the enemy interceptors at bay as yet another group go for the main ground target. It becomes a mini-coop in a DF server.
F-86 is a good choice but an F-5 might be a better choice to play more competitively with the big jet boys. As Crash says the A-4E mod is a great lead in aeroplane with systems not much more complicated than WW2 era, but still a potent little ground attacker with the ability to carry a few Sidewinders for shits and giggles - plus, it's free! You'd need it to install it to join us on server anyhow, so...
3) Single Player varies greatly depending on the module. All come with a variety of tutorial missions, many with a decent selection of instant action and a number of single missions. Campaign availability varies more; some come with 12-15 mission campaigns to fly bundled with the module (F-15C, A-10C), some even have two (F-14), some only have campaigns available as payware ($12-$15) DLC additions (Spitfire, Mustang, P-47) and some have no campaigns at all.
However, Eagle Dynamics are working on a Dynamic Campaign Generator engine that will hopefully cater to many or all of the available modules, though the ETA for the release of this is yet to be confirmed.
There is also a vast repository of user made missions (including campaigns) available for download, for free, from EDs website where they host User Files, which also includes skins, mods and useful documentation; there are gems and there is dross there though so it's worth taking time to sort the wheat from the chaff.

- Sporadic stuttering in 2D and VR
- Ka-50: IT-23 display is colored.
- Supercarrier. Signal wands lights and Hold back bar are invisible
- Supercarrier: there is no picture on LSO displays
- Supercarrier. Signal wands lights and Hold back bar are invisible
- Dedicated server doesn't start automatically first time after update, hoster have to launch server manually by clicking on “start” button for mission or server itself in web GUI
- Rare occasion of stretched cockpit resolution happens randomly on first simulation launch

That's a weird looking carrier. Whatcha doing breaking to 'land'? 😉
Brand new CVN camouflage effort. 😛
We're in Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) phase - training a load of noobs how to Tomcat properly and VF-103 are land based for the moment replicating the 'at shore' period they have between deployments on a carrier.

For those wondering what kind of performance gains we can expect when DCS finally is able to push their multi-threading engine update:
IronMike (of Heatblur, developers of the Viggen and F-14) has his grubby mits on developer version of the engine; he stated on Discord:
Quotein 2d, for me, it went from 55-60fps on average to over 200 FPS, kid you not. (4K 55", 1080ti)

As if DCS wasn't complicated enough...
Ran into an issue with Colin t'other night when he was beetling around in his tank calling out target positions and lasing for me to deliver 1,000lb high-explosive gift baskets. Some connected but some did not despite confirmation and reconfirmation of the given coordinates.
So...
Turns out there are at least 4 different ways of representing Lat Long coordinates.
1. Degrees, Minutes and Seconds (DMS)
HDDD° MM' SS" : N 43° 40' 56" x W 116° 17' 14"
a more precise version of this is Degrees, Minutes and Decimal Seconds (DMDS)
HDDD° MM' SS.ss" : N 43° 40' 55.87" x W 116° 17' 14.12"
2. Degrees & Decimal Minutes (DDM)
HDDD° MM.mmm' : N 43° 40.931' x W 116° 17.235'
3. Decimal Degrees (DD)
HDDD.ddddd° : N 43.68216° x W 116.28725°
4. UTM/UPS
11T 0557442m E 4836621 N
The format of the coordinates can be cycled in the F-10 map by pressing, by default, [LALT]+[Y]. The default format can be selected in the Options menu (more information in the DCS manual, page 46).
The following are the available coordinate formats in DCS:
Precise Lat/Long: very precise representation of the coordinates, up to 1/100 of second by reporting decimal seconds as well;
LatLong DMS: discussed above;
Metric: absolute X/Y coordinates;
LatLong DDM: discussed above;
NATO MRGS: acronym for Military Grid Reference System.
Depending on what airframe/vehicle you are in/talking to will define which need to be used.
F-14 crews want DMS (DD°MM'SS")
F/A-18C crews want DMDS (DD°MM'SS.ss")
F-16 crews want DDM (DD°MM.mm')
Mirage 2000 crews want DD (DD.ddddd°)
A-10Cs have the ability to choose IIRC and are therefore the most flexible.
There are conversions but I have to go now so will talk about them later.
For now just be aware the target coordinates you give/take may not be the ideal format for your/their system to handle.

DCS: Fen's Spitfire Skins - Updated!
in DCS Series
Posted
Hey chaps!
My composite Spitfire Skins have been updated to version 4:
These now feature better (darker) camoflage and roundel colours (both were still too light/bright before) plus I have removed fuel filler caps from ammo bay doors on the wings as these are only seen on some modern restorations were auxillary fuel tanks occupy the defunct ammo bays; naturally WW2 era aircraft did not have these!
