Will be on parade tomorrow …… does anyone else want to have a go at leading 485th ? If not, I am happy to pop my little twinkle toes into Fen’s ballet shoes until they get blown clean off again.

Squirrels everywhere breathe a sigh of relief 😉

I tried it in a QMB. I flew a Hurricane with default 4 X .303 against 4 Veteran He-111's. I attacked in the worst possible way, directly from their 6 o'clock. I got one in bad enough shape that he had multiple fuel/coolant leaks, broke formation and dove down and got another to drop his bombs. I was able to get in close. Convergence set at 200 meters. Hits were a lot less and not as destructive but eventually I had to bail. Before I would get toasted about 750 meters out, well beyond my old 400 meter convergence settings. With the mod I felt more like I was fighting against more human AI rather than Darth Vader's Minions.

Sorry chaps will be missing this one. I have to pick and sign my fall work (sept) sheet. The signup time falls directly on mission start time, dam work interfering with my flying time again LOL

The GUI_Background_Mute one would be useful, but I can't seem to find a current download location for it, they all say "Not Valid" in the posts where I can find it. I think a unified "Dogz" pack would be a good idea. There is less to go wrong if everyone is using the same mods

On our Bos-DF server, this mod is now active: 2) Blind (Airplane) Gunners I have simply downloaded it, and put it in via JSGME Mods. Whether it works? I have no idea. How to test this, I have no idea. You could fly and test it as a pair, where you both fly opposite sides a/c with AI gunners in it, fly side by side, and look at what happens? How to tell if it works? Like said - I have no idea - this is just an experiment! Note: Only available on our DF server - so this has no effect whatsoever on the Coops, the Tank DF or the PWCG stuff!

Oops. There goes my infallibility. 😆 I seldom fly German. Thanks for the correction.

Yes, I actually re-read the full thread properly and saw that. Doh!

It is a separate mod, there are 5 different ones

Perhaps those that use a wide variety of them could provide an explanation with screen shots as to what they do?

If we decide to accept it as an "Official Dogz Mod" then it would only be used by us on our closed co-op's. Because mods effect your local machine, so I could be running one and you not, so yes something like shell effects would need to be global and perhaps raises more questions, however being able to tune back the AI rear gunners if that could be isolated as a separate mod then that would be a good addition I think?

In for Tuesday!

Interesting to read how it is all done Sidly. AI gunners are way too accurate at unbelievable ranges, to the extent where by it is safer to attack a FW 190 than a Ju 87 !

Would this not technically be considered a cheat? I am surprised the moderators haven't jumped on the post to be honest. 😄

Yep, I'm aware of it.

Well I know this much, 99% ok 5% if we try it, only the Host will need it, or it will be like the distant random smokes, everyone will most likely experience something different. but if the host has it and net code carries ti through we should all experience the same thing.

Personally don't think 5ms makes hardly any noticeable difference at all, especially for flight sims, it's 100Hz and supports HDR 10 too if that makes any difference. Did you see that driving game on that video I posted, I think it was Forza or Need For Speed, it looks pretty good to me. It's and MVA panel too so it'll have better color accuracy but it was just a suggestion. The GPU is going to be the killer, they are insanely overpriced now for what they are. It's supply and demand though and all this Covid mess has thrown everything out of whack. The RTX 2060 Super I got for $330 right before the craziness started are going for over $800 new and around $800 used. I've even seen some asking 1K on Ebay which is just stupid. I recently got into VR, and I'm sure some will disagree with me, but it's not a replacement for a good monitor and TrackIR. It's cool to try out, and there are some games and apps that are pretty cool, but for flying, my personal opinion, I tried it a few times and went back to the monitor. The cockpit proportions in the DCS hornet look off too, like down by your feet, it's kind of cartoonish. Playing on the monitor is just way more comfortable, convenient and practical for me at least. Call me old fashioned but I'm considering selling my headset, I haven't used it in 2 months. I do like it for driving games with a wheel though where you don't have to crook your neck all the way back in an office chair with your controllers on the desk trying to track that bogie. If it was a real plane it'd be a different story, probably real nice for a dedicated sim pit too. So here's another one that looks pretty good in the 3440x1440 category. 1ms, curved and 144Hz refresh. Damn, wouldn't mind having it myself. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012017

Win7 ftw 😆😆😆

Work on the rooms will not be finished in time for this
