Is it safe to update to latest version of TS3 client, 3.0.18.2? Is it still back-compatible with current Aries revision?

Seriously, after 1.5.1 update I can't hit dumb AIs flying like drones straight just dropping few chaff with an ER... In Flanker quick mission I trashed all semi-actives, substantial difference compared to 1.5.0, ERs are useless again (?). I can't even relate to this change, because ED is forgetting to print plenty of changes in their patches' changelogs, how annoying.

Thank you for organizing such event! Some comments to your choice of terrain in the official mission file: - foremost it is very ugly choice on the edge of our only map, generic and with artifacts due to "universe ends here", what is not good for game & event after promotion (screenshots/videos); - provides close to no visual references and angles regarding direction and altitude (I would rather choose to fly over water then generic ground pattern outside the map zone). I may guess this is FPS related decision; however there are so many other places with very good FPS, like everywhere near Kerch Strait just for example.

In DCS Open Beta 1.5.1 (1.5.1.46722.87) the mission file http://sa-sim.com/download/top-gun-r2-mission-file/ causes by DCS client to CTD after just few seconds from unpausing simulation by pressing FLY on briefing screen. So far my squad mates are also experiencing either crash or hang.

Well guys, you have the opportunity to be first to set up and manage dedicated Dubai DCS Server!

It shall be actually 8 years this year December, http://www.51st.org/results.html since inception. Frostie said it, none of these wins can be credited to EOS equipment or terrain hugging. It is worth noting Su-27 FM just as F-15C FM has been changing over these 8 years from patch to patch, including missiles physics behavior and sensor behavior, and we have always felt on disadvantage against F-15C performance pilots.

Nope

Nope, that must be ground speed. So is in the mission editor when you edit way points, always been so, since Flanker 1.0

All AI aircraft are abnormally pitching up to maintain level flight. Almost in all missions. Edit: Is there a way to read their airspeed in external views?

I have experienced these issues, also with Dead Space. Blame only lazy developers and lazy console ports. I use dedicated rig for flight simming, so there is no interference from other software. For playing mediocre console ports I use my older PC rig, that runs all games just fine.

I am unable to find on the main site neither on forum FAQ thread minimum and recommended PC specs for DCS World 1.5, can anyone point me to them? This is for a friend.

Thanks for sharing, I have what to watch tonight :)

Put it in just MissionEditor folder

Can you implement feature that if client connection drops or quits, his flight/unit is preserved on server as AI RANDOM, allowing for client to reconnect and rejoin back into the same seat and players who are actively interacting with that particular unit (i.e. engaging, can still score their kill)? Can you expand in mission editor the option upon selection of CLIENT, that if aircraft unit is not occupied by live client, is replaced by AI skilled RANDOM? For example add it as skill: "CLIENT&RANDOM AI". Currently on 1.5.0 we have plentiful of disconnects and drops, crashes. Very unforgiving experience to have DCS client crash or loose connection to server (drop), but with ability for client's to re-join mid flight is something I hope for and need to see on servers. Implementing above request shouldn't be too hard knowing in offline flights we can already jump between AI hot-seats.

Does it blend? ;) Edit: sorry my previous post was in wrong place :)

Dude, I think you do not understand optics and FOV. It has nothing to do with addon development. It is just caused by the set-up being used by end-user.

Super! Thanks

Hi. No I have not saved my track file, I am sorry. I forgot single player tracks must be saved manually. There was no engine damage or fire. Both engines were working fine. This happened on default single player mission. Will try to replicate it at some point hopefully.

I have been hit my SHORAD and then unexplained thick black smoke from my wing all the way to base... but no fire.
