It's V77. Have tried the above but hasn't worked. Also tried using the Bluetooth connection without cable but have the same issues, which at least demonstrates that its not the cable.

That's superb thanks! I will give that a go.

Thanks for helping my sanity!

Hi all, I think most likely I have a loose wire connection but as you will read something weird is going on to the point I am doubting myself. As such I thought I would see if anyone else has started having the same problem and its software rather than hardware related. A few days ago Oculus did an update. Since then it's started disconnecting momentarily and then reconnecting with the view reset to the right. It happens in such a way that would suggest its a loose connection. However, it only happens when I'm in the cockpit of an aircraft. Not in Windows generally, not in the dcs menus. Also in the cockpit I find it happens whenever their is a radio call (like I say I might be going mad), even if I'm not moving my head. It also happens randomly which feels more loose cable again. However when i am in the main menu or windows etc it doesn't seem to matter how much I move, jiggle the cable etc I can't get it to glitch. I have ordered a new cable already on the assumption its that but if anyone else has started seeing the same I would love to know. Thanks

Ace thanks. I must have missed that part of the briefing. Probably still boggle eyed from the last mission. Thanks and thanks again for this mind blowing campaign! It's on a different level and unlike anything else in dcs.

Hi Greg, so have just read the brief and sounds like it's going to be a challenge. Question is how much is Jester, how much is me?? Aware HB have limits but also that you are a whizz. The other times I have done this have been using the HB workarounds. I saw there was another thing about this but as it said spoilers I didn't want to look.

No. Its fuel management and tanker if you need it. The suggestion he gives on the fam flight that if you are under 5.0 as you cross the frontline then head to the tanker has worked well for me.

Could I just double check if anyone else has had an issue refuelling after the first sortie. As soon as I plug they say transfer complete. Tried cycling the door to reset the system but same result. I'm aware heatblur have created a few bugs with the latest patch such as the INS cold start and wondered if this is one or if its me doing something wrong?

Hey all, I wonder if anyone out there can help. This is truly a golden age for DCS but it comes at a cost..... drive space. My computer is already designed so that I have a drive solely dedicated to DCS and yet still I have run out of room. Im sure I can't be the only one? Is there any way to share DCS files over multiple drives without breaking the game? Any help/advice would be greatly received!

I expect this is a known bug but have had a search through the forums and can't find anything. The F4 textures seem a little blipped at night. Specifically when under light the aircraft is still fully in shadow. However my personal favourite is when you hit the afterburner. At this point the glow from them begins to shine through the pilots head in the mirror, making the skin shine and him look like a Saint.

Is it delayed? Did they give a set time? Surely its not delayed till tomorrow.

That's ace @Zabuzardalthough would that not negate the pluses of using DL over Laydown generally? I have been using DL in those situations where the targets are pop up and not known before hand. Would this work if you assumed the target is at 0 and so you add say 500ft to the target height? I might have missed it but my understanding was that the clusters on the F4 open after x seconds (4 I think) rather than a set height such as the A10/F18 etc. So I guess its a guess on top of a guess but I will give it a shot and see what happens. Thank you

Hi all, as the title suggests, can anyone recommend a good tutorial on using the DL bombing option, or alternatively give me some pointers. I have been through the manual but think I'm missing something? I get that you go through the options for speed, height etc on the bombing calculator and tell Jester. That you laze just like DT and you keep the pickle depressed while you fly the profile, but my results seem more miss than hit, especially with CBUs. Is there a min/optimum alt? Speed etc Thanks

So..... I have been experimenting with various aircraft landing on runways and doing both Navy and Air Force landing styles. While i can achieve both in nearly all aircraft, the hornet refuses to play. Is it possible to land a hornet gently? Or does the configuration of the landing gear make it always land fairly hard? I know this is a pointless question, I'm just intrigued.

Hey @draconusit feels like he talks less, it's been a progressive thing over a duration but the frequency of comments has reduced. As an example, every landing he used to say something, these days less so, maybe 20% there is no comment. I am aware i am in a minority but i quite like him calling things out during BFM, primarily speed calls but the occasional spot call has always been useful. The various Reflected campaigns have also shown where additional calls feel extra immersive, checklists, speed on take off and/or approach. Which way a bandit turns on the merge etc. I understand that some of these may not be practical outside a campaign format but in my mind the more of Jester the better.

Hey @IronMike, first and foremost I want to thank you and your team for the amazing work and development you and the team have made on both the Tomcat and Phantom. 99% of my dcs time is in one or the other and I have loved both from their releases. Now I know I'm in the minority here but I miss Jester. I find he talks progressives less, I know alot of people dislike his comments but I love them, makes me feel like I'm part of a crew. The new Mig Killers campaign has also helped show how him calling which way an opponent goes at the merge being super useful, likewise calling out the speed and descent rates in the speed and angels campaign. I understand it might not be practicable but could you add an option in the Jester wheel in addition to the silence Jester that makes him talk more like old Jester? I miss him, it feels like we have had an argument and he has the hump. Ta

Flew the F14 last night and this definitely changed how I fought, for a start I stayed 100knts too fast the entire time but definitely saw how the techniques learnt are going to stand in good sted.

Finished last night and wow!!!! It was awesome and lived up to the hype of being the best of zone 5 and speed and angels. Agree that the 2vUNK was the most fun and intense. The 4vUNK I felt like a bad ass! My skills and techniques have definitely been turned up a notch. My the final hop I even managed to get every switch of the landing checklist completed before being asked. Can see myself flying this one again and again.

I had a similar issue with being given 50%. I jettisoned the drag chute as Jester called chute but he didn't continue and even if i cycled I couldn't get him to continue and mission to finish?

Hey Greg, quick one for you. The first video (mission 2) in vr has me placed inside the hut for the duration. Assuming that's not right.

No sorry. Could it be an axis bind issue?

I think part of it is a change in mentality on how the chinook flies compared to other things. The trim resets the angle of the rotor mast so it is not trim in the true sense. I have found after a little play I can get it trimmed out and hands off. At a certain speed I find I trim back, trim back, trim back until I get it on speed, any change in the collective changes it and you have to keep close eye on it. Then opposite in slowing down by trimming forward again and again and again.

Which trim switches are you using? At the moment you want the stand alone trim and trim reset buttons and ignore the specific forward back left and right ones as they are part of the system that isn't implemented yet. Press the trim and reset to centre like other helos. I'm finding as it speeds up you have to keep pulling back and retrieving, it is taking constant retrim but it does work. Also any shift in the collective will shift everything again. Lastly make sure you reset the trim on landing, otherwise it can go a bit crazy. Hope that helps.

That's ace thanks @Zabuzardnice to know it's not me!

Hi @Zabuzard I am up to date on the updates so it's the current version but I am checking before starting the left engine but after starting the right so maybe that's it (I do it after the spoiler check along with flaps, slats and airbrake) Will give it a try after both engines are running. @Rudel_chwit's only been when I do cold starts but I should note I haven't tried the check with a hot start.
