Youpi tank you

Could you please provide a timestamp on any exact comment. I listened through it after work but from what I remember ''Fun'' and ''Crunch'' both just vaguely said some functionality. Such as controlling PRF for the AN/APG-71, which seems to not be that relevant to the pilot and still I have not found any evidence or photos that there is any space for a good axis or 5-way switches to operate and STT/TWS/RWS lock bandits on the pilot MFD RIO-TID repeater with the pilot HOTAS setup of any Tomcat. The way I see it is that the pilot can only touch MFD options and operate some functions such as mode, volume, range and PRF. Imanullgine a DCS F/A-18C radar screen without any HOTAS control. The top button is communication, middle is speedbreak, bottom is wingsweep. others look like simple 2-way switches, since I can't find any info on the PLM and other ACM buttons on the fingers of the throttle I simply have to guess. Reminder: I personally don't know any F-14D pilots. I think use is the right word but operate is maybe generous, I hope I'm wrong but since the data is limited I feel like staying sceptical is the right call. (the 5-way switch on the stick should be from sources I found just a redesigned weapons selector)

My workaround is to store all cockpit liveries in their seperate folders and thrn copy the required cockpit to the default folder before starting DCS. Not sexy, but it works.

I took a look at the core F-16 cockpit textures and they are all contained in a .zip file. Are you saying to copy the files into the zip itself or just into the same folder?

It does, but annoyingly this changes the entire game into metric. I grew up with metric only so not a big deal, but I'd rather have my game settings detached from the module, i.e. I'd like to be able to leave my game generally in imperial (the more common units in aviation,) but still fly aircraft with metric instruments in metric. For example having the game set to imperial doesn't change the Viggen to be in feet and knots, which is exactly how I like it. I also don't want to take away the option for people to have their metric jets in imperial.

If you apply them in the core. Then it's a workaround for this bug. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Since Lindbergh's time, the watch, VFR rules and compass have always been a friend of the pilot (and sometimes of the stars), but that's a completely different story...

In the core folders then I guess. That is the point of the thread, to have the custom cockpits in Saved Games, and enabled through the special settings specifically not to have them in the core folders. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

did anyone manage to make it work? i click reload but nothing happens, I have to close and reopen the sim to reload the textures

This is redundant when you perform a full repair. Try to temporarily renamed the DCS folder in your Saved Games, to like DCS.old. In case there is some corrupted files. A repair doesn't touch the Saved Games folders. Cheers!

Unfortunately, that process to load the custom cockpit does not work for me (tried multiple restarts and different missions.) It's sad, but typical of ED, that this bug is at least four years old and hasn't been addressed.

Oops, thanks – I deleted my answer there.

I'm positive you will be very happy! [emoji1303] Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

I remember reading your answer here in a BSB2 thread:

@Rudel_chw Thanks for noticing. Dave, one must follow instructions to the letter. The path is incorrect. Correct path is: Saved Games\DCS\mods\aircraft Cheers! Edit: In case you look at Rudel's screenshot. Beware, he purposely has his Saved Games in a different folder. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Strange, my reply has disappeared. Here it is again. Thanks for the fix – I’m familiar with it and have already tried it without success. The distortion sliders only shift the image vertically (up and down), not horizontally. Unfortunately, it doesn’t help. In all other VR applications (IL-2, VTOL, etc.) I have a perfect image with the Oasis drivers. It seems to be a DCS-related issue…

Bringt mich jetzt nicht wirklich weiter. Ich glaube man konnte ihn mit dem Joystick steuernn, aber das habe ich schon Jahre nicht mehr gemacht. Nachdem der Pilot am Fallschirm hing, und gelandet war ging es glaube ich so. Evtl. meldet sich ja noch ein Experte.

I still dont get it with the R-73 and the Monocle. How the heck do you shoot the R-73 using its own sensor and not the IRST? I never get the typical fox2 sensor growling noise. Just looking with the HMD without pressing the "LOCKON" Button does nothing. No growling noise and no chance to get it off the rail. Pressing and holding "LOCKON" just gives me the IRST lock. For my understanding the dashed crosshair means its in a R-73 lock, right?

AWESOME! Thank you!!

Only if they deem it more realistic.

Threads merged. As I suspected there was a fix already but it seems it needs some more tweaking when in flight. We have reported it, thank you for the tracks
