Okay, I belief you So somewhere I made a mistake ...

Your right. Magnetic declination effects compass use, yet it won't change map coordinates. (I really wasn't awake yesterday) Still doesn't explain why I'm seeing a 2,9Nm/5km difference between coordinates from internet for Ludendorff Kaserne/Downs Barracks, Sickel Army Airfield (Fulda airfield) and some other barracks, to what the coordinates are on the Cold War map. I'll check again tommorrow, had my head stuck in Mission Editor the whole day. I'm quit close to going full brain dead.

That would explain a lot, thanks

I'm not sure if it's actually wrong on the map, or my screwing up somewere : So if some one else would have some time to check, it would be very appriciated. I'm using history data, found on the internet, to (try) and figure out were units were stationed in Germany : the who and were etc. So I found some coordinates of bases around Fulda gap, yet they aren't on the map so I'm just putting a icon in that position. The thing is : The whole positioning feels off to me. For instance, if you check the coordinates for Sickels Army Airfield ( aka Fulda airfield) the coordinates of the "real" airfield and the airfield on the map, there's a 2,9+ Nm difference Ludendorff Kaserne is in the middle of nowhere , north of Fulda, over the East German border in , well East Germany. McPheeters Barracks in the middle of a village at the outskirt of Fulda.

No, I haven't changed the profile settings. I did change easy communitcation is mission editor, customize : Enforce and value are now both turn on.

F#<k me sideways ... radio's between aircraft and refueler work. Don't ask me what I did, because I really don't know. (Can't upload the track ... to big )

Sorry, totally missed your reply. (And absolutly forgot about this topic, bin to busy with making controller profiles for DCS modules) I'l make a track tommorrow

Update : Did the same flight with the Chinook, as close to the same route as possible. Stutters ? yes Freezes ? no. So either the OH-58D is causing the freezes (for some reason) , or there something I my hardware config I changed today that actually helped. (Change the power schedule for USB devices to keep USb devices powered when not in use)

Between tree top level and 500 feet above tree top level, with the OH-58D. So real low-and-slow. (I'm still sight seeing the map) In the south west end of the map you really notice the (micro) stutters, yet as stated above, when I got within 27 km from Fulda gap it became freezes. I wanna try it again with the Apache, just to see if I get the same response.

Maybe other people noticed it as well : A area, south west of the Fulda gap, is causing a lot of stuttering and 5 to 10 secend freezes in VR. I can't pinpoint the exact location, currently it noticable when flying to the Fulda gap from the west, and from the south west. When you get about 27 km/17 mile away for the gap it starts and everything becomes 1 big slide show with 5 to 10 second freezes in between.

So, I'm having one of my famous "wanna make it as real as possible" brainfarts again, and seeing (hoping) that there are some real world Navy and Air Force people here on the DCS forum, I'd like to ask for there help. What I'm looking for are real world TACAN and ICLS codes for carriers ,specifically the Roosevelt, Lincoln, Washington, Stennis and Truman (yep, the super carriers) and the Tarawa (preferably the Peleliu) I would understand that giving TACAN and ICLS codes that are currently being used will probably be a security violation, so I'm already very happy with outdated TACAN and ICLS codes Next up : TACAN codes for tankers, specifically the S-3B, KC-135 and KC-135MPRS. What I found is that 100X, 100Y and 65X are mostly usedfor tankers. Again, if soemone knows outdated TACAN codes, and is willing to share them, I would be very happy.

So I'm bin having some trouble with the radios for the last months : They stop working after a couple of minutes. Yes, I'm using easy communications. At the strat of a (self made) mission, yyou can contact ATC, tankers or AWACS, no problem what so ever. Yet after a X amount of minutes, the radios, or communications stop working : you still hear yourself call ATC, tankers or a AWACS but there is no response. Is anyone here familiar with this problem, and maybe know a sollution ? (For your information, I'm using a lot of mods in DCS)

So I've bin using this scenario for a couple of weeks now (since the v4 release) but I just noticed that all the civilian car traffic and trains are gone in this scenario : Nothing is driving or running on rails. Are there more people how noticed the same thing ?

I noticed during the attement to creat a scenario, and using al lot of ships that the depth in ports (Rostock, Cuxhaven , and the Elbe aren't deep enough for the vessels that you would normal see in these place's. Especially the Elbe, which goes from 30+ metres depth to just 1 in a route that is used by every vessel going and leaving Hamburg. If possible, could this be improved ? Or is there a way a user like myself can doe it himself ?

DCS World (latest version) just doesn't want to start in VR. Yesterday I've updated the Nvida driver (removed with DDU) because of a new GPU (RTX 5090) Reinstalled DCS World yesterday (after buying the Cold War Map, something with the SSD that it was one not having enought space Just updated Pimax Play tot the latest version. Yet I'm constantly getting this error : 2025-04-20 14:45:22.479 ERROR VISUALIZER (Main): OpenXR failure XrResult failure [XR_ERROR_RUNTIME_UNAVAILABLE] Origin: xrEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties(nullptr, 0, &instanceExtensionCount, nullptr) Source: Projects\Visualizer\Source\OpenXR\openxr_program.cpp:225 2025-04-20 14:45:22.479 ERROR VISUALIZER (Main): OpenXR exception: XrResult failure [XR_ERROR_RUNTIME_UNAVAILABLE] Origin: xrEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties(nullptr, 0, &instanceExtensionCount, nullptr) Source: Projects\Visualizer\Source\OpenXR\openxr_program.cpp:225 I've only got Pimax Play installed and the latest OpenXR toolkit (I like to see what the GPU is doing when it comes to frame times and FPS) No SteamVR, no PimaxXR and the latest OPenXr toolkit : there isn't anything that should be able to interver with OpenXR. Removed al mods : still no go. If anyone knows what's going on here and would be so kind to tell me, it would be very much appreciated dcs.log

FOUND IT : When on catapult, turn external lights off and back on again, salute and off you go

Just modified a different scenario : Syria, daylight, and in this scenario the Tomcat DOES get launched. Got a feeling I know what going on my Kola scenario : I have a S-3B that's getting launched before me and my wingman, got the feeling this is screwing up the launch.

I tried it : No response on radio menu salute. Binded catapult salute to a knob on 1 of my controllers : This works for being guided from the start position on carrier to the ramp, yet when your in the launch position : no response (aka no launch)

I'll give it a go, thanks.

Early morning , Kola map , on local time (07:45 december 2024) so still dark. I had the lights on the F-14B on, except taxi. Lights were on bright. Tried every thing now : Mil power (nozzle gauge 0) Full afterburner Flaps down, flaps up. Nothing nada zero : no launch.

I don't know if this a issue with the Super Carrier module or the Heatblur F-14A/B module, so I'm gonna put it here : Looovvveee the new deckcrew, but I'm hittinh a problem I can't figure out what teh cause could be. So up to launch I'm doing the same as I use to do with the F-14 : Taxi, being guided to CAT 1, wings out, flaps down, launch bar kneel, drive over cat , stop, tension catapult and getting signal from the shooter to throttle up, and salute : This is were it goes wrong. Even at full throttle (in afterburner) and saluting (I tried saluting in the comms menu and using the keybinding, the shooter just keeps giving the signal to throttle up : he won't launch. Then I tried it with the F/A-18C : works like a charm. So am I doing something wrong or is it a Super Carrier/Heatblur F-14 A/B bug ? (I've bin searching the forum last night and this morning and I haven't found any topic reporting the same issue I'm having)

Thanx (wouldn't know how to mod if it would save my life) I just noticed the keybindings for the radar altimeter aren't working as well ? (radar control increase and decrease)

Hopefully someone here can tell me : I'm looking for the keybinding for adjusting the baro/pressure (Servopneumatic Altimeter). Yet I can't find it Is there a keybinding implemetend for adjusting ?

So, a while ago I bumped in to this control panel and I've bin thinking about (read really really really wanna) buy it : https://realsimgear.com/collections/all/products/realsimgear-gcu-for-x-plane-p3d : the RealSimGear GCU47X. My questtions are : - Is there someone here who has it ? - And is it working with DCS ? This panel won't have much use for a fighter, but as panel for the AH-64D ...

Knew it ... gonna shut up now
