Hi! I just flown yesterday on a server which was set in the middle of the night, with an overcast weather. I quickly climbed above the clouds, seeing the stars very well. Equipped the NVGs, and then to my surprise, the whole cloud layer was basically black, I couldn't see anything. The occasional holes in the layer letting see a quite bright ground. Is this a bug on my side? I would expect the clouds layer to be well visible under a clear sky

What the f@@@ are you doing with antenna elevation in dogfight When going back to search mode, the "awkward" position is either your last search elevation, or the last known lock elevation if you break the lock. It's a feature. You must complain to Thomson CSF.

In 530D and POL modes, the vertical search is not available, it’s replaced by spiral search (SVI).

It does work, you are doing something wrong. Check your bind, and keep trigger pressed until the S530 fires

How long did you press the trigger?

Missiles, and especially 530D, require keeping the trigger pressed until launch It can take almost 3s to fire a 530D if you are in PSID lock mode.

This is actually a very old bug, it was there already but we just added text on the flags recently. Good news, it's already fixed for next release, with a full IDN refresh

Hi! Someone posted a stuck steering wheel bug here, I can't locate the post anymore. Was it removed? If you find the solution to a bug, just answer to your post with the solution rather than removing the post, it can help others!

Ah, my bad! There has been a lot of discussion recently about if the VTB overlay had to be disabled server side because it's a cheat blablabla... So I definitely misunderstood your question. There currently is no such option server side. But if the messages appear while disabled in the player special options, that's definitely a bug.

No it will not be possible to disable it server side, because such a feature doesn’t give any advantage. That’s an accessibility feature for some hardware configurations.

Anyway, the complain proves one thing, you never had to input JTAC coordinates in flight in VR with a VR controller... It's so messy that I ended up building myself a full right console just fot this So I'm not even using the option

This is not a debug message, but a way to compensate the limitations of input/output PC hardware. Hence mouse clicking the PCN buttons with a head tracker which is much more prone to wrong input than using the real PCN. Options are there to make everyone happy. But, there are always unhappy people... We removed the HUD AoA option, because in our opinion it was unrealistic and giving a slight dogfight advantage. We got some backlash for this. Same for the radar axis. We have to find a compromise

The purpose is checking that no mistake was done when pressing the digits. With mouse clicks and head tracking, you make entry mistakes that you would not do IRL with a physical keyboard. Now if you complain about an optional feature, that you can choose to enable or disable, that doesn't provide a cheat-like advantage, and just want to remove it from other users, I don't know what to answer. Hey ED, could we fully remove game pause, mouse clicks (full home cockpit only please), respawn and hot start? It's unrealistic. And also changing volume. Full blast only.

Check your special options!

Argh, I don't have the arrow. I may need an update

Hi, I fly in VR and friends with the same gear have the head view direction displayed in TacView, but I can't have it. Is there anything special to do to enable it?

I think on the three first positions the board just sees 1kOhm, 2kOhm, 3kOhms

I just finished my little project, and these selectors saved it. With 6x 12-pos selectors, it would have been 72 inputs and 78 wires, to be added to 5 encoders, 7 axis, and a bunch of levers and buttons. Now I'm thinking, this could be used for 3-pos ON-ON-ON switches as well, with the 1k resistors.

This file is maybe not included in all modules specific files

Hey! Interesting tool

Ah, yes I put those in \DCS World\Config\Input\Aircrafts\common_joystick_binding.lua This way you have them in all modules at once

Which radio commands do you need to add? Most are included now

Could you send your log file? Did you use any mod or customization?

Already scheduled for next update!
