Myself and @fruitbat with the assistance of @DD_Fenrir got SRS installed and working during last nights DCS session. It does add another level of immersion to the sim and would recommend you get it installed. It can sit along side TeamSpeak, we are not replacing it, as we will use that for "lobby" type chat before getting into SRS comms mode.

Salute @DD_Fenrir I think this would be an excellent idea now that we are all getting more proficient and experienced in our chosen plane sets and would be another element to the DCS experience. Count me in. PPS I would also like to try and experience SRS at some point as well, perhaps on our own servers at first.

With the sale now on I thought I would bump this thread to see if it helps align us with common ground? Please let me know if you have added a map to your collection.

Had a good session on Friday night with Fruitbat. We practiced me hovering by the targets and relayed the co-ordinates to him. He then hit the target from 30,000 blind through clouds which was a lot of fun. If you want to try it it is a lot of fun. We are going to put a video together showing the process. It took us a while to work out the translation between what I could get from the Apache to what he needed in the F15, once we had that sorted, no tank was safe!

In the same vein, I have just seen this post about having A-A radar running causing issue. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/327693-new-radar-functions-cause-a-lot-of-stuttering-in-vr-latest-ob/

Can not make this evening again chaps, Wife needs dinning room (home of the computer) for a "Girl Guiding Planning Meeting"...

I think we need to reach out to Roger again and give him a nudge to ask for his assistance.

@Crash yes, that is what @Jabo believes when he was reviewing recent changes.

Sad but interesting video of a fatal crash and the investigation findings. Warning - footage includes eye witness video of crash which was included in the crash investigation analysis.

Been looking at the new members and was going to reply to one and invite them to post in the recruitment thread, but I could not find it to post a link. I think our forum is a bit screwed at the moment?

@Crash - Thanks for the head up - I have just gone through and deleted them all. The IP's were all Russian. I have also started going through and deleting all of the other historical Banned accounts (there are 6 pages full of them!)

Good session last night chaps - thank you for testing the new Persian Gulf map, it seemed to work quite well. I will now try and flesh it out a bit for the next session.

For those of us that can not tell a Gecko from a Goa (plus I wanted a reference guide for mission building) I have converted a resource I found that explains all of the DCS SAM site equipment. Hope you find it useful.

Guide to SAMs.docx View File For those of us that can not tell a Gecko from a Goa please find a resource I have put together from work done by UrPeaceKeeper who put a set of kneeboards together. I have taken his work and made it into a reference guide. Submitter Friar Submitted 08/17/2023 Category Documents  

Its out https://forum.dcs.world/topic/170893-dcs-world-changelog-and-updates-of-open-beta/page/8/#comment-5276627

At least its not Thursday this time...

So please use this thread for anything you would have previously said in the chat bar.

Sorry - I thought I had posted this link that explains

Use this thread to replace the old chat bar that used to be at the top of the forum.

Not my work - copy and paste from the ED forum - but useful just the same. It was a good interview with the 4 guys. I watched the whole thing.

PM me a list TBone and I will see what I can do. If you have any other ideas of things to add to freshen it up let me know. Friar

The subject of the interview with Wags came up last night where I mentioned that the Chinook will be the next module released A bit late to the party. Interesting video. In case it helps people to find stuff, here is a timeline (more or less) to the DCS content: 15:00 It’s a game. Don’t want total fidelity. Bad guys can use it, too. 27:00 At this point can only look back in time for additional aircraft to model. So ground forces will be the new arena. 29:00 Ukrainian map too sensitive tight now as is Taiwan. 29:30 Dynamic campaign still in the works. 30:00 Chinook is next in the pipeline and coming soon. 34:00 For any aircraft, etc, must be able to demonstrate that the data for it came from legal publicly available documents. 36:00 How we decide what module to do next. 41:00 How do issues (“bugs”) get fixed? 43:00 The need to be very careful with documentation and what elements are included. 48:00 Viper radar lock loss bug. Also talk about real world failures and whether to include them in sim. 50:00 Hornet flight dynamics being reworked. 51:00 Full briefing room coming for the carrier. 52:00 Super Hornet not likely and reason why. 53:30 DCS sufficiently modeled that can be used to teach. DCS compared to real world military simulators. 57:00 Did Top Gun 2 help with sales? 58:00 Possibility of destructible trees. 59:00 Additional carrier crew coming soon. 1:00:00 Looking for air boss voice actor. 1:01:30 Wags’ game preferences. 1:02:40 Korea and Vietnam maps. Not now but will come. 1:05:00 Full DCS C-130 will eventually be made. 1:06:00 An entire logistics system is in the works and it’s application to the dynamic campaign. 1:07:00 Difference between DCS and real world experience in the cockpit. 1:12:00 Kola Peninsula map. Whole world map. 1:15:00 Eurofighter. Kiowa. 1:20:30 S-3 possible but far down the list. 1:43:30 Any chance of a Gripen or Rafale? The docs are the issue. 1:44:30 Possibility of FF Su-27, MiG-29, plus more on type and sources of information they can use.

Any one not see the chat bar?

Salute, With perhaps @BluBear in mind I have just read this thread on the ED forum; https://forum.dcs.world/topic/331817-my-performance-vr-and-mt-issues-were-solved-with-a-full-reinstall/#comment-5272524 A job for a rainy day perhaps with nothing else doing, but might help? Friar

nice video on Apache - explains friendly kill incident in Gulf war as well.
