Yup, exactly. Which, incidentally, you should always do as a very first step in troubleshooting anyway. Yup, sounds annoying. However, I'm not sure if this is something DCS actually does - does your stick work when you look at it in the Windows game controller dialog before pushing the trim button? I recall the TM F-16 FLCS needed to be woken up with a single tap on the MSL STEP button. Haven't heard of any current day hardware that does this, though. Might also be worth trying different USB ports. Maybe it's some kind of USB power saving that was enabled through a Windows update? It sounds like something that DCS would have no control over - unless you have mods that mess with DCS' input handling, hence the suggestion to rename Saved Games\DCS and try with a clean config.

Uh, no. Do NOT touch your DCS installation directory. No need to do that. That is C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World by default, and there is pretty much no reason for you to do anything to that directory whatsoever. A DCS repair will go through this installation directory and check for broken and missing files. It should only take a few minutes and your Internet connection should be perfectly fine. What I'm suggesting is to rename Saved Games\DCS instead. That's just your config and stuff. DCS is going to download exactly nothing at all when you rename Saved Games\DCS. Then check if the issue persists and report back. In either case, you can later remove the newly created Saved Games\DCS and rename your backup back to this name and you'll have all your settings back. Well if you want to figure this thing out and get rid of it altogether, or learn how you can tackle it in the future, let us know. If I understand correctly that you can now control the A-10 in a kind of degraded manner where you always have to apply nose down trim before the controls start to respond normally, that sounds less than optimal, but if it's good enough for you, then happy flying.

You could try a DCS repair, only costs a few minutes. Otherwise, I'd try and rename the entire Saved Games\DCS and start with a blank config just to see if the issue persists.

Your config is stored in Saved Games\DCS, or in full: C:\Users\{Your Windows Username}\Saved Games\DCS or C:\Users\{Your Windows Username}\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta Re-installing modules and repairing DCS doesn't touch this. I would first check Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\A-10C and Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\A-10C II respectively. As a first measure, create a backup of Saved Games\DCS just in case. Then get rid of your config in Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\A-10C\joystick and see if you can create new axis and keybinds. DCS shouldn't change this config with an update, and mine has been working fine since at least DCS 2.5 with no interruptions (except when I upgraded to a new joystick base, or when I moved my config to a new PC so I wouldn't have to bind multiple controllers in dozens of modules across several DCS installations from scratch ). No idea why yours got corrupted, but it's almost certainly tied to something within Saved Games\DCS

I just happen to have an old 2.9.16 installation available. In 2.9.16, I observe exactly the same behavior in your track as in 2.9.17. Aaaaand I see you hit the LOAD ALL OSB about one second before the asterisks * appear on the DTS UPLOAD Page. Seems like you simply don't understand how the DTS UPLOAD works, and are now rushing your startup that, presumably, you didn't rush prior to the latest DCS update.

Looking at the second track, you never loaded the DSMS or any other page from the Data Transfer System, and instead you went straight into the DSMS. At this stage, pylons indicate "I" because of a mismatch between what's loaded on the DSMS (nothing) and what's detected on the pylons (something). I then saw you load the AGM-65 symmetrically, and the indication correctly went from "I" (inventory mismatch) to "P" (no profile available). I then took control of the track, simply hit the asterisk at OSB 18 "* LOAD DSMS" on the DTS UPLOAD Page and a few moments later, the DSMS correctly showed everything that was hanging under the wings. As far as I can tell, nothing changed in DCS, and you are simply missing a step in your startup routine.

Schau mal, ob "Force Feedback" in den DCS-Optionen angekreuzt ist und nimm da mal testweise das Häkchen weg, falls es gesetzt ist. Manchen Spielern hat das bei Trim-Problemen geholfen.

Komisch, das sieht ja in der Tat aus wie die gleichen CASE III Comms, die es auch beim Supercarrier gibt. Ich bin zu wenig Harrier geflogen, um eine aktive Erinnerung zu haben, ob das mal implementiert war. Ich hatte angenommen, das stünde nur den Nimitz-Class-Trägern aus dem Supercarrier-Modul zur Verfügung, da ja beispielsweise die alte (nicht-Supercarrier) Stennis das nicht bekommen hat. Hat das jemand noch auf dem Schirm?

War das jemals anders? Soweit ich mich erinnere, gab es seit langen Jahren kein Update mehr für den DCS ATC. Die Ausnahme ist das Supercarrier-Modul mit F/A-18C oder F-14, das ist schon ziemlich cool, allerdings auch noch nicht ganz fertig. ED hat seinerzeit gesagt, dass ein umfangreiches ATC-Update geplant ist, aber Zeit braucht. Ich meine Wags hat in einer Frage- und Antwort-Session Anfang des Jahres gesagt, dass sie noch die Vor- und Nachteile von KI-generiert vs. von Menschen vertont abwägen. Also, meines Wissens war das bei der Tarawa nie anders. Ich würde einfach auf Sicht landen bzw. TACAN nutzen. Der einzige Nutzen des aktuellen ATC ist, dass er nach der Anmeldung bei Dunkelheit das Licht anmacht.

So I took the time to try once more and figure this out, and I think this time I actually found a workaround to get BIFF to show up on datalink again. Fingers crossed that it works in internal testing! If so, it should be a relatively easy fix for all missions (*) and should be implemented with a future update. (*) Finding the workaround was the hard part. Implementing it should be fairly straightforward. However, at this stage I don't want to promise anything, I just think it should be okay.

The A-10C is a fairly complicated and deeply simulated module. In case you're following tutorials or checklists, dump whoever made them from your list of trusted sources and find someone who actually understands the aircraft.

During the current cycle of updating all subtitles, I saw this sometimes, but not reliably 100 % of the time. AFAICT Boar is there right from the get-go, but sometimes the flight doesn't power up or doesn't taxi when they should, or it can take a long time (several minutes). I'm not sure we were able to address this issue, but will take another look. These are currently scheduled for internal play-testing. We'll pay particular attention to this issue! Yeah, this issue was introduced with old/existing missions when all the datalink stuff was updated in DCS. I (am probably not the only one who) spent hours and hours trying to find a workaround, but the only thing that works reliably is to delete a unit and add a new one. The nightmare of re-building all associated triggers (that DCS will automatically delete together with the unit...) would probably take ages and cause a whole slew of new issues unfortunately. This issue is reported and is something that ED needs to address.

And how could they, when your jet never gets a semi-decent INS alignment? Allow the alignment to finish and the Inertially Aided Munitions should be good to go as well. As a general rule, if you can, record tracks in the Caucasus map. It's free, it's got a relatively small footprint and almost everyone has it. I don't currently have the Iraq map available.

@6S.Duke do you guys require any additional data?

Wohl nur für Mobile. Am Desktop aktuell noch nicht:

Yup, this is reported. I've just bumped the report.

Diesen Monat soll eine kostenlose Kampagne für die OH-58D Kiowa Warrior rauskommen: Klingt sehr vielversprechend!

Falls es wer nicht auf dem Schirm hat, kommenden Samstag ist Tag der Bundeswehr 2025. Mehr Infos hier: https://www.bundeswehr.de/de/meldungen/tag-der-bundeswehr

Dassault scheint in die Simulationswelt einzusteigen und kündigt an, bald auch Module in/für DCS verfügbar zu machen: https://www.dassault-aviation.com/en/group/2025-paris-air-show/illustrated-news/the-store-dassault-aviation-new-simulation-section-to-explore/ Wobei es auf der Store-Seite von Dassault noch keine Sektion "Simulation" gibt, da wurde wohl die Mitteilung ohne Rücksprache mit dem Webseiten-Team veröffentlicht... Dem Screenshot nach zu urteilen wird der Alphajet wohl den Auftakt machen.

Sounds fantastic!

Old issue. I thought it was fixed, but maybe it surfaced again. Let me check later.

Dafür könntest du auch die DCS-Reparatur benutzen und den Scan auf zusätzliche Dateien auswählen. Solche Downloads und Temporärdateien sollten damit sehr zuverlässig entfernt werden. Ansonsten lösch alles was auf den ersten Blick unwichtig aussieht und lass danach kurz eine Reparatur laufen. Wichtig ist nur: DCS repariert NICHT die Dateien in Gespeicherte Spiele\DCS! Auch dort sammelt sich gerne eine Menge Kram an. Multiplayer-Tracks, selbst installierte Mods, Skins und so weiter. Dort liegen aber auch die Input-Dateien mit den Tasten- und Joystick-Belegungen. Bevor man da aufräumt, sollte man auf jeden Fall ein Backup davon anfertigen. Oha, das ist echt viel! Eigentlich sollte DCS hinter sich aufräumen.

Doesn't the ARC-210 run a BIT on power-up? The refueling system itself doesn't really matter when the tanker doesn't talk on the radio and doesn't lower the boom in the first place. Also, since the beta release of the DCS A-10C, I don't think I recall a single instance of a radio problem between players and AI assets that was actually caused by a broken radio. There were probably some such cases when aircraft had taken battle damage or when random failures kicked in. But the vast majority of such issues comes from bad keybinds, wrong frequencies and other types of issues that are not based in the sim itself, at least in my experience.

Same here - the show is also available as a Podcast. If you have a smartphone with earphones or it's coupled with a Bluetooth speaker or your car audio, you can probably listen to it with no hassle and don't have to sit in front of a screen for 5 hours to look at two guys talking. I've gone through all of Dale's podcast episodes by now, he has some really interesting guests. Quite a good way to spend a commute, a walk, a bike ride, or while doing the laundry or whatever.

Super! Ich drücke die Daumen, dass das Problem jetzt wirklich dauerhaft gelöst ist, sonst sag Bescheid. In die neue Log-Datei habe ich jetzt nicht reingeschaut - wenn alles läuft, ist das ja nicht mehr interessant, aber falls das Problem doch nochmal auftaucht, hätte man einen guten Vergleichswert, insofern ist das durchaus praktisch, dass die hier verfügbar ist.
