Mine came with lots of nuts and bolts loose in the box. They were all over the place but there were just enough to assemble the frame. Not wobbly but tricky to assemble. Just need to order another 4 nuts for the suctin cups. Still waiting on Fedex for the joystick base.

Thanks, I understand time is always in short supply and I'm looking forward to seeing the M2000C in landsape mode in due course. Re the DED I find the font in the virtual cockpit clearer than the app. The square blocky font in the game seems more legible to me. Regards

Hi Love the app. I'm using it with an old 8" tablet which is bluetacked below my monitor. It fits best in landscape mode. Any chnce there will by an F16 with DED in landscape mode? ditto M2000C? Thanks Plastic

I use a PS3 eye camera mounted on a plastic monitor clip with a piece of exposed 35mm negative in front, a delan clip attached to my headset and opentrack. The PS3 cameras needs a special driver CLeye. Its a great setup. The delan clip is worth the money and has lasted ages as has the PS3 camera.. https://delanengineering.com https://github.com/opentrack https://codelaboratories.com/products/eye/driver/ Regards Plastic..

Re tested, and there was a bug that I missed. I have fixed it now. Uninstall the old version and try the latest the latest version from User files. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.c...files/3307115/ Regards

Hi, I made a mod to enable smokewinders on the F16. You can find it in user files complete with install instructions. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3307115/ Its written for open beta. I will retest this weekend but it was working fine in the current open beta when i last checked. Regards

Hi slyly666 With work, family stuff and other DCS skins and mods I haven't got very far. Now Neo has released his skin I will park mine.

The sidewinder mod is here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3307115/ It is very likely to break the IC as it has to modify some LUAs. Regards

V2 of the "Ornage lion" now avaiable I have adjusted the colours of the paint and added smoke-winders. To enable the smoke-winders requires mods. Just waiting on the moderator to make the files active. Regards

Yes I have been thinking it looks too pale. Will look to adjust the colors.

Its taken a while to make it but my skin for the RNLAF Solo Display team has been published. Download it here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3307045/ This is my 1st revision and I will update as the module matures and in light of feedback. I hope you enjoy it. Regards Plastic

I have just started work on this skin, it's pretty tricky though to get all the joins to line up so it will take me a few weeks before it will be ready to release. Watch this space. Why not check out my other skins for the F16 and Mirage 2000. Just filter on "Plastic" in the User Files. Regards Plastic

Kriko, There no reason for the recent updates to cause them not to work. Not sure where you have them but they should be placed in your "saved games" folder. Example for Open Beta below. C:\Users\<Your name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\M-2000C Also check what country you have selected. What you can see is dependent on which country you have selected. Good luck Plastic

Thanks, will wait and see if patches get re enabled in the next updates before I go modding my pilot texture. Plastic

Hi, The pilot patches don't seem to show anymore in the Mirage. Anyone else with this issue? Cheers Plastic

I created a little mod for myself to add the keyboard and shortcuts to enable the DCS NVG. You can find it here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303791/ Works in 2.5.4 but I haven't tested multiplayer. Turn down the brightness on the HUD and cockpit lighting and it works reasonably well. Plastic

For me the Spitfire is the hardest. Getting it off the ground is hard, landing it nigh on impossible. I was so bad that I stopped flying the Sptfire so I could build up my skill level in the Mustang first ,which is much easier. I am currently flying the Harrier and have got STOL landings pretty much sorted, VTOL though is more of a challenge even on a large airfield let alone a pitching ship at night. The Mirage which I have flown the most hours in is lovely to land. I have now mastered the art of taking off, performing a single half loop over the runway and landing immediately. The trick is to use the drag of the delta wing at high alpha to bleed off your speed. No idea if this is realistic or possible IRL but its a fun challenge as is landing it (and stopping without the chute) at Echo Bay on NTTR. Plastic

Hi, I have just started looking at developing this skin for the F/A 18. Its from 2005 and was used on an F/A 18A to commemorate the 20th anniversary. http://www.clubhyper.com/reference/20thanniversaryhornetkb_1.htm I don't think anyone else has developed this one but reply if you have. Thanks Plastic

Lace Just a thought but have you changed country. The skins visible in the mission editor vary depending on which country you select. I keep my skins in my saved games folder now, it causes less issues after updates. Plastic

I've been trying to modify the specular texture for the fuel tanks and pylons so they have a high gloss finish to match the Red Arrows skin I'm developing but they just don't work and just stay matt. I checked some other custom skins and they don't seem to work either so I don't think its me. When I ran the "EDM Livery Extractor GUI" on M-2000C.edm the specular texture for ext 6 isn't listed. --{"ext5", 0, "m2kc_5t", true}; --{"ext6", 0, "m2kc_6t", true}; --{"ext6", 1, "m2kc_6t_bump", true}; --{"ext7", 0, "m2kc_7t", true}; Anyone else noticed this issue?
