DC Designs (F-14, F-15, F-16 etc)

@zeke Yeah, this is an MSFS thing and nobody has the solution yet. The sim in MP should draw the other users’ airplanes based on the aircraft.cfg “title” and so should select the relevant model and livery from that. Sometimes it does... and sometimes it doesn’t. No idea why. The F-15s have an update coming soon though so it will be a chance to check things out and see if there is anything I can do about it from here. ETA: I noticed that there are spaces between the title names, whereas in the F-14 there are not. I have updated them in case this is the cause.

@dutchpilot Hi, thanks for reporting this! I will check that clock out to see what's gone wrong there, it uses the stock settings so it should be fine but maybe something got tweaked without me realising. For the DED, I will ask CodenameJack, who created it all. It's a far more complex system than is in the real jet in terms of autopilot ( more like an airliner than is necessary really ). The manual was recently updated with his instructions for use, so if this isn't in there I will have to find out and update it. As far as I know, TACAN is not yet supported in MSFS but I'm pretty sure I have seen others figuring out a way to get it. It's something that I will add to all of my jets going forward, along with some other cool extras like radar.

@jp3mek I'll check it out, was working last time I looked, might be a code or naming issue.

@ken Sounds like the sim is doing something there. Sometimes, it starts every flight with Assists switched on - any chance that's causing the problem, or similar?

@dc1973 Thanks for the reply and the explanation. Thanks for the explanation about the weights - I'll have a look at the cfg file when time permits. If I can make it work, I'll upload the new version on here for anyone else using kg. Still enjoying this aircraft so thanks again for your efforts and have a good Christmas!

@derek got it, thanks again.

@ben104 I don't think it's users or the airplane, just MSFS being a pain. Some switches do use the scroll button rather than click though, so could be that.

@stona Yes I think you are right and it makes alot of sense. The sound from my PC is run thought and amp and into a pair of bookshelf speakers, which might explain why I can hear it more than others.

@dutchpilot We'd definitely like to, but it's a learning curve at the moment for everything in MSFS - it's on the list for updates in the future though.

@tommy Hi, refunds require an actual reason for that refund, as in something that is inherently wrong with the airplane or similar. As the F-14 has been one of the most popular DC Designs aircraft ever released, I don't think it's likely that the airplane is at fault here. What is it exactly that you're not enjoying?

@chunk It was an error in the emissive code in the F-14B which has now been fixed. F-14A was fine, as are all F-15s. I have also had reports that user's bloom settings were too high ( caused by SU7 re-setting everything ) and that turning them down fixed the issue.

@brettt777 DC Designs makes products for a certain type of customer.....you need to know what to expect. I also dislike the Tomcat (and all their releases) for the reasons you mentioned. For example, DC Designs have showcased a Concorde for MSFS, it has an FMS which looks like it was taken out of an Airbus. It's not for simmers with an interest in experiencing anything like a real concorde. On the other hand, the Just Flight Hawk, I LOVE (I suggest you get that, it's really really good). For a good Tomcat, go to DCS.

@dc1973 ok, thank you!

@currator Not the PC version, no. You can only get an XBox build via Microsoft.

@dc1973 It 's allright, keep up the good work, I will hear when the manual is updated. I think it is pity for your coder (CodenameJack477 I presume?) if no one takes advantage of all his work, that's all (and of course I am willing the learn the details).

@dc1973 Got it.. will keep an eye out for it.

@dc1973 Got it.. I'll try later for the Avatar and also look for the changelogs.. Thanks again!

@timothyj6767 Stencils and panel lines are modeled into the aircraft on the F-14 so you can't go over them

@mardis I found it in %appdata%..\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore\justflight-aircraft-f15\Documents\DCD-F15E
