Next video I do in Mission Editor, I'll be sure and add that in. This video is just for learning how to use them in multiplayer servers for flying, not for building out the mission. If you are just needing to know for ME... when you select an airbase to make it Red/Blue/Neutral, click "Full Info" to show the resources available at the airbase you are configuring. On the left side of that sidebar, there is a check box for both "Dynamic Slots" and "Allow Hot Starts"... just check the appropriate boxes.

Glad you liked the video! Unfortunately, Markpoints cannot be deleted once they are created, but if you get to Markpoint "Y" they start over again and rewrite the old ones. Mark "Z" is always the last place you targeted and used a weapon on. That comes in handy if you miis or don't kill a target and need to come back to it quickly. Just go to Mark Z and your back on it with very little effort. Happy Hunting!

Awesome! Glad to hear it!

Duly noted. In many of the more basic tutorials on weapons and more basic manipulation of the sensors, as well as the cold start videos, I try to reference all the HOTAS Button presses. This video is more of a "working/base knowledge' video on the TAD to help with upcoming tutorial(s) on the SADL System. There's always a welcome mat out at my Discord, where myself and others are always willing to help new people learn. Hope to see you there!

This video has a lot of info that is really useful when using the TAD for data linking with the SADL System. That video will be next!

Glad you found it useful!

I'm running a mod to get the yellow tint off the front glass, and I think there is one for the canopy scratches somewhere. I would guess that's a pretty low priority for ED right now.

It is a complex module for sure, and does take some time and a lot of studying to learn. The best advice I can give, is to start in small bites, not a full plate at first. Get comfortable flying around and doing some basic navigating while learning each of the weapons. That will help "tie things together" with the sensors and how to manipulate them, as there are many ways to interact with them. Hold off on taking a deep dive into the CDU, and when you do, you'll find that it is quite multi-layered, and a bit "deep". The main thing is to fly, and have fun crushing the enemy with whatever weapons you've learned... but fly and have fun. Here is a link to my Discord if you want some help digging into to the airframe, and I also have a dedicated DCS server with missions that are designed to learn on. discord.gg/wTZKMxktEY

I completely agree! While I think there is still work to be done on the textures of the fog, the overall appearance is great! Another area where I would like to see improvements are in "weathering" of buildings and vehicles, as well as dirt and grime on vehicles. The buildings may be a bit more of a challenge, but reskinning the vehicles with dirty/worn paint jobs should be fairly easy to do.

Who?

I'll make it 10,000 ft thick so it hides the mountains entirely! Then we race from point "A" to point "B" in Snowplow mode! 😂

Thanks!

No you are correct. Fog in the real world is flat topped.

As I stated in the video, "some" fog is perfectly flat on top. However, most fog, especially in mountain valleys is far from flat. I'm not bashing the new fog at all, in fact it looks great, but fog from above commonly has a terrain of it's own, much like the surfaces below it.

I agree... should be downhill from here.

Like they did with new clouds for dynamic weather, right?

This! 👆

The biggest issue IMO is that if you want fog at a higher elevation, you cover the whole map in fog if it's lower. I'm guessing they may set up "fog zones"?

It's already in the mission editor under China Aircraft.

Awesome! Thanks so much! I'll make sure to drop in more frequently! Hope all is well!

Syria. I took off from Incirlik.

Agreed. I'll be putting up a video later on how to create that thick fog, and how to use the ground elevation to best utilize it. It's really mind blowing! It turns out what I had created here was more of a morning haze (quite realistic at that) rather than that amazing dense fog,

@ It actually changes with the heat of. The day and sun and will move in and out over time. Crazy!!

@@ricbish That's like we discovered that wind affects the range of mavericks! It's interesting finding all the cool things that are below the surface in DCS!

@ I didn’t know that!! I’ll write that one down! DCS is an amazing sim!! Glad you said that about mavericks!

@@ricbish With a 20mph tailwind, we were able to force correlate AGM-65H greater than 13.5 miles at 19,000ft. When we turned into the wind, the headwind would cut our range down to about 11.5 to 12 miles! It's amazing that that is actually calculated in!

It's a cool effect however you slice it I think. Looking forward to trying a sandstorm in Syria!

😂

Civilians? They always want to save themselves.

They are the vast majority of the time. Before the Update, I was getting 80-100fps... since the Update, I've been seeing 60-75fps. Not sure what's behind the small hit I took. I was previously running fine on a 3060ti, this was recorded on a 3080ti 12Gb. I would think it will run fine for you in 2D.

I play dcs with a 2060 and it runs fine enough

A few of those cars were literally flying down the road! LOL

@@Westpoint1-1 Tesla lol

@@Andromedon777 🤣

Totally agree!

I've been waiting for VR image quality to catch up to desktop, amazing.

Thanks Towbie! I recorded this on my Fox3 server because I was curious how it would run in multiplayer. I saw a little performance hit... you guys notice anything similar?

@Westpoint1-1 I don't think I associated it with that, but now that you mentioned it, we will look into it and see since we have 2 fox3 and a third from a reliable home server builder. Can compare between the 2 soon and will let you know.

@@DCS4DVetTV Awesome! I try keeping up with the Scuttlebutt Lounge, but seems I'm always elsewhere. Great community there!

@Westpoint1-1 we are growing and have many places we visit to fly with all our best discord communities. We love collaborative friends and sharing.

I saw a mild one. This was recorded straight off my GPU in Multiplayer on a Fox3MS server.

After more experimenting, I found that above fog in a location like Guam, actually yielded a performance boost. I'm guessing it's due to the fact the less of the terrain and foliage is being rendered.

Thanks! Here's what I'm running: Ryzen 7 5800X GTX 3080ti 12Gb 64Gb RAM

I do have to say that the lighting is much improved. I don't feel like it's finished yet, but it looks nice.
