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:

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.

Nothing of interest here... (get it? )

Hi chaps, If historical accuracy is important to you in regards to the Normandy 2.0 map please read the linked post and if you agree, like the post as the more likes/thanks the post gets the more likely it is they’ll address the issues: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/310823-dcs-normandy-20-preview/?do=findComment&comment=5161446

MOAR UPDATE!

Siddley Viggeningening... ing. WOCKETS!!!

Hey all, Just to remind you that up until a few minutes ago the DCS Stable Release version and the Open Beta versions were the exact same build number, so you could join an Open Beta server with a Stable Release client or vice versa. Because the Open Beta has been updated this will now change; those of you flying Stable will no longer be able to join the Open Beta server. This is a temporary arrangement, at some point the builds will converge again. Can I ask that those of you with both versions show those on Stable only some consideration and maybe put down your new shiny things for a mo and join them flying on Stable for assistance and company? Alternatively there are routes to convert your Stable build into the Open beta should you wish. Please just ask.

Thanks FT. ❤️ Yes please!

Yes!

This one's a good-un:

This question was posed by @Friar a couple of nights ago during a Scooter session and it reminded me of a response I had posted at ED forums to a question of F/A-18 vs F-14 discussion. I thought I'd include it here for information and further dicussion: And yes @fruitbat we know how awesome the F-16 is... can't land on the boat though can it?

@BluBear @Crash @Friar @FoolTrottel @fruitbat @PapaBear @rox @DD_Sheriff @wingflyr @Zukker Sid has asked if we can add the OV-10 to our server availability; as this means asking you all to download and install I thought it only polite to ask if you would be happy to oblige?

It's possible.... But it does mean that anyone who wishes to join the server has to have the module installed; I'll ask everyone politely if they are happy to have another unofficial mod a/c in their hangar...

Absolutely Sidders! Will do some refresher training myself in the A-4 this week to make sure I’m giving good gen…
