Thanks, I thought as much. Wanted to stay clear of scripts as I am a total noob in that area, but setting up CTLD was easier than I thought and it works fine for what I wanted...

Wow, thank you so much, that´s exactly what I wanted, works perfectly. That little respawn script will make all the difference for my mission. I hope, I can learn more MIST over time...

Hello, I´m just taking my first steps with MIST or .lua in general and I´m having a hard time figuring out the basics... What I´m trying to do is spawn a random group within a random spawn zone. For testing, I setup a simple mission with three trigger zones (Spawn-1, Spawn-3 and Spawn-3) and three ground units (Ground-1, Ground-2 and Ground-3) I managed to get the random Spawn zones to work with a single unit, but I can´t get the script to pick one random group of the three defined ground units. This is my script so far: local z = {'Spawn-1', 'Spawn-2', 'Spawn-3'} local g = {'Ground-1', 'Ground-2', 'Ground-3'} mist.respawnInZone(g, z) In the wiki it says mist.respawnInZone(string groupName ,string/table zoneName/tableOfZoneNames as it only mentions the tables for zone names, I assume, it doesn´t work the same way with groups ? Is there a simple way to make this work ? Thanks

Mine worked perfectly fine for about 10 years, then one day, it just didn´t. I never found out what killed the board.

The flickering is annoying, but I didn´t have that with the Vive and Vive Pro before, so I assume that is a WMR/HP thing. You should have a keybinding for centering your VR Headset anyway. Just press that after DCS has started and the "problem" with the menu way down is gone ! The rest, I´m sorry to say, but sounds like problems with your system. If you hear the "USB-Sound" or a crash after shutting down your headset ... I fail to see what that has to do with DCS. I´m no fan of the Reverb G2, cost me a lot of nerves to set everything up, but once I did, it works 100% of the time (I use Steam VR)

I´ve been trying for many hours now to setup my mission so that I can pickup infantry with a player-controlled APC and I just can´t get this to work. So I´m wondering if the mission editor or combined arms actually has this functionality or not... Here´s the setup: In this mission, two groups of US infantry (10 men each) are surrounded in a city and have to be evacuated. I can fly there with a Huey and pick them up without problems, works as intended. Now as an alternative, I also want players to be able to use combined arms and get them out with APCs, so I setup a convoi. After a lot of trial and error I managed to set everything up so that when I let the AI control the convoi, they drive up to the first group and they get in. But, when I take control of a vehicle myself and drive up to the infantry, they do nothing. They don´t appear in the radio menu (as they do with the Huey), so I can´t tell them to get in, they just do nothing. I tried with several different vehicles (Marder, Fuchs, M113) Is there some secret key combination for embarking/disembarking infantry ? Or is this simply not possible with Combined Arms ?

Also ich hatte es jetzt auch nicht als "dumme Frage" aufgefasst. Ich dachte mir schon, also Du geschrieben hast, dass Du es auf Deutsch eingestellt hast, dass die Bezeichnung vielleicht etwas versteckt ist, daher mein Screenshot. Grundsätzlich solltest Du Dir vielleicht überlegen DCS doch auf Englisch umzustellen, da eben einige Begriffe verwirrend übersetzt sind, und die meisten Tutorials, Guides usw. auf englisch sind.

As so often, it depends There is very little the Harrier can do that the F/A-18 can´t do better. If you want to do ground attack, I think both are good choices, but the F/A-18 has better options against SAMs. The Harriers Sidearms work fine against SAMs but can be very risky as you have to get a lot closer than with the F-18s HARMs. If you also want to do air to air combat, then you should pick the F-18. Other than a bunch of Sidewinders, the Harrier has nothing against air targets and can´t do any BVR. Also the Harrier has a speed disadvantage against almost all other aircraft. The F/A-18 has the added bonus of carrier operations with the Supercarrier module, if that´s your thing (the Harrier can of course also operate from a carrier, but you don´t really get the interactions with the crew of the Supercarrier) Now this might sound like the Harrier is a bad aircraft, which was not my intention. In fact, I don´t like the F/A-18 because it just can do everything and I find that a bit boring. So let me think about a few good things about the Harrier If you plan to play in VR, landing a Harrier on an aircraft carrier in VR is one of the best things I´ve seen in DCS. It´s very difficult but a lot of fun. Some people say the Harriers ingame sound sucks, but I love it. And I also like the Harriers cockpit. Looks good and makes a lot of sense to me. In the end, it´s christmas sale, why don´t you get both ? Oh, and welcome to DCS !

Das sind die Standardbelegungen für die F-16.

Wie genau hast Du die Taste denn belegt ? "Die Dogfight Taste" ist eigentlich ein 3-Wege Schalter und hat entsprechend drei Funktionen. Bewegt sich denn der Schalter im Cockpit wenn Du die Taste drückst ?

Wie hast Du denn versucht es zu starten ? Standardmäßig läuft das trotzdem über Steam VR, d.h. Du brauchst Steam, Steam VR und Steam for Mixed Reality. Alternativ kannst Du alles über Open XR direkt starten, ist aber ein wenig Frickelei:

It´s not like nobody wants that. But most people want their computers to be able to run DCS with acceptable framerates. For most players, especially in VR, that is the top priority. And "realistic" weather simulations, like you demand here, won´t make that possible.

Yes. You don´t need to download any profiles or map any buttons or axis of the A-10 for the TM Warthog. Everything is mapped by default. You just have to plug it in and all buttons work as they should.

Whenever you set up controls for an aircraft module in DCS, it will create a config file for that aircraft (by default that is stored in your C:\user\XXX\saved games\DCS\config\input folder) However, it is a good idea to store a backup of that file somewhere safe. So for example, if you setup controls for your F-16 a file is stored there for your F-16 controls with all the buttons and axis you assigned. Whenever you hop in the F-16, DCS will automatically load that config file. You don´t have to upload anything. You probably could setup something within the Thrustmaster TARGET software as well, but I´ve never really liked that software and found it easier to setup everything directly within the DCS control menu.

Yes, whenever you move the mouse, the cursor will show up in VR and disappear a couple of seconds after you stop moving the mouse.

But that´s not even the point here. Male players could also like to have a female copilot/WSO. What´s wrong with having this as an option ?

Ich muss auch sagen dass die Windows Mixed Reality Erfahrung für mich recht ernüchternd war (Reverb G2). Das Einrichten, USB-Problematik, Hantieren mit drei verschiedenen Programmen, schlechtes Tracking... Mein erstes VR Headset war die erste HTC Vive, und die hatte diese Punkte schon deutlich besser im Griff.

No, this option is only used for the VR-Mirror that is shown on the desktop. It does not affect anything that is displayed inside the VR-Headset.

Es gibt auch eine kostenlose Demo von Voice Attack. Ist begrenzt was die Anzahl an Sprachbefehlen und Profilen angeht (man bekommt ein Profil mit 20 Befehlen), aber man kann damit schon mal gut ausprobieren ob man mit so einer Sprachsteuerung klar kommt und ob es einem überhaupt nutzt.

I don´t think it´s that. It´s not like the rocket doesn´t do enough damage to destroy a BMP. Before, you could fire a rocket at the front of a T-80 and you would get at least some hit feedback, like "1% damage" or something. It looks more like the rocket explodes but DCS doesn´t even register the hit. I have never seen that happen before the last patch.

I´ve had that happen after update 2.8 with the A-10 (haven´t tried with the Harrier yet) The rockets sometimes explodes on impact but do 0 damage. Tried this a couple of times as I thought at first that the rocket hit a tree in front of the target or something. But I also think it depends on angle, because when I turn around and try from a different angle, it mostly works and BMPs blow up with one hit as before.

Naja, was heißt aufwändig ? Man muss halt Platz haben um die im Raum aufzustellen/aufzuhängen und mit Strom versorgen. Das Tracking mit den Lighthouses ist aber auf einem anderen Level im Vergleich zur G2. Zugegeben, für DCS ist auch das Tracking der G2 ausreichend, aber die G2 funktioniert z.B. nicht bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen. Das Lighthouse Tracking klappt problemlos auch bei völliger Dunkelheit.

Not sure if the "New User" section is the best place for this as it may go unnoticed... You should probably contact the support directly:

I haven´t done any FPS measurements, but yes, it feels like loosing a bunch of FPS for me as well

Natürlich ist das technisch möglich. DCS nimmt ein Bild welches wahlweise für das linke oder rechte Auge der VR Brille sowieso gerendert wird und zeigt dieses auf dem Desktop an. Daher hat das so gut wie keine Auswirkung auf die Performance, auch nicht wenn es auf Vollbild gestreckt wird. Will ich aber zusätzlich ein natives 16:9 Bild, so muss dieses zusätzlich gerendert werden und kostet Systemleistung. "Star Wars Squadrons" kann sich das vielleicht erlauben, aber ich bin ganz froh dass DCS das nicht tut.
