I used miles and got the module for about $40. Then I was super happy thinking I could fly it...not yet. Damn, I was hoping. Oh well, back to the Hiney. Pretty sure the Hind was the Russian, modern equivalent to the Iron Maiden.

Yes, I was having a problem where the Hornet kept rolling to the right, checked my axis on my stick and changed it, the roll stopped. Double checked on the Tomcat, nothing there. I understand that two engines operate slightly different from each other, but what is weird is not being able to trim it out. A bit of rudder to counteract the yaw should work, but for some reason, it just doesn't. I will have to double check my key bindings, maybe something got screwed up with the trimming function. Was sure that if there was a problem it would be axis tuning, but maybe that just didn't copy over correctly. Thanks, will check that out. For some reason my rudder trim key binding was messed up.

F14B, I have not flown the A yet. I have been having an issue where the jet slowly turns to the right. I tried trimming for it, auto pilot, everything and nothing worked. So, I went looking for the issue and found it. The right engine is at a lower rpm than the left, causing the jet to slightly yaw to the right and changing course without constant stick pressure. At idle, the left engine sits about 71 and the right will be at 69. I use the Saitek X52 which only has a single throttle for both engines. When I go to external F2 view, it shows both engines at the same power setting. Also, temp and fuel flow are altered to show the different power settings on the engines. So the instruments agree on the engine disparity. I did try to uncouple the throttle and then move the right throttle independently, and that didn't fix it either. Should I try uninstalling the module and then reinstalling it? No issues with the Hornet, or the other aircraft with multiple engines. Any ideas?

Any chance of someone doing the F14 Black Bunny scheme for the Hornet? Also, a matte black hornet with a vibrant, hot pink accent color? I don't know how to do skins and my artistic ability stops at anatomically correct stick figures. The pink, like a metallic non-matte version, for my sister in law who fought, and won, breast cancer. "Save 2nd Base", in pink on the tail. Now, back to flying the Hornet and not finding the ground at Mach 1.

Well, now the game just doesn't work. It does not matter which module I attempt to fly. The Mission Editor loads, the initial screens work, but then when it is trying to load the module, each one gets stuck at, "World Preload 1/60." It freezes the entire computer so that I have to do a hard shutdown of the pc with the power button or unplug the pc. I never get any kind of crash code or confirmation, it just freezes. I will try and attach the right log this time. dcs.log

Oh, gotcha, thanks for clearing that up. One of my first flights, I did not lock the canopy and wondered why, after pulling a hard g maneuver in a canyon, the jet suddenly became very loud. Took me a minute to realize the canopy was gone. Whoops. So, off I go, into the hard, hard ground once again. But at least I crash with style.

Ah, yes I do a full INS alignment, but at the bottom of the HUD I do see "horizon secour", I just had no idea what that meant. I have seen lines, vertical lines, at the bottom of the HUD, so I must be putting it into the wrong mode, somehow. Thank you!

Hi, when I do a cold start the heading at the top of the HUD rolls with the aircraft. By this I mean, if I am flying at a bearing of 90, due east, then roll the aircraft without moving the nose in a different direction, just a simple aileron roll, the HUD Heading will spin around. If I do turn, then the heading first turns with the roll of the aircraft, then also with the turn. So if I roll 45 degrees, then the heading in the HUD will change 45 degrees, before I actually swing the nose around. The result is that I can never tell what heading I will come out at when I stop the turn. I have to make a series of turns to get the proper heading that I want. I don't remember this happening previously, this started happening about a week ago. Please note, that right now I am suffering other problems with DCS and am still trying to sort it out but the game is unstable so this could be related to the instability issues I am having elsewhere. Just curious if anyone else has had this happen.

Alrighty, thanks for all your help. Gotta fly my jets! dcs.log

I only make missions up in the Mission Editor. I never play anything else, as I am still learning the aircraft. Here are the screenshots of my folders, nothing that you have asked for is present, just what I submitted earlier.

Alrighty, let me give this a shot then. Okay, I think that worked. dcs.log-20190929-060110.zip

I made sure the GPU was turned off. Here is the log. DCS Log, can't upload the extension old. The DCS Log ends as: dcs.log.old Not sure why.

Windows 10 did an update, and since then the game has been unstable. I am having multiple crashes, both trying to load the game and trying to get into the game to fly a plane. I mainly fly the F14B, F/A18C and Mirage 2000C. I was just trying to load the Mirage into the Persian Gulf map, I was using a simple flight from the Mission Editor, and the screen went black and locked up. I ended up having to force restart my computer. If I do manage to get in the game and get off the ground, the audio will distort at various times, especially when I start the APU on the Hornet. The game will also stutter and pause, it makes flying impossible. During the graphic freeze, the sounds continue but the image is paused and I can't do anything. I made sure to turn off the graphics acceleration in Windows. Not sure what else to do. I did try and turn down the settings, preload radius and whatnot, and I don't think that did anything. Getting afraid to just launch the game.

The GPU setting was ON, turned it OFF and boom, problem fixed. Thank you, never would have thought of that.

Hello, Windows 10 did an update without telling me and since then, DCS has had issues. The game, I run on a fairly weak system, runs smoothly at low settings, but now, it stutters quite a bit and freezes up. During the stutters and freezes, the sound continues just fine, but I can't do anything. Other times, the game is doing well, and the sound is messing up. I updated the driver for my gpu, and lowered the initial load radius and that helped. However, now the game is crashing. I loaded DCS and the inital DCS load screen went up, then the black screen with DCS and it froze there. I tried reloading the program and after it did the update bit, it just ended. Third time I tried, I got into the jet, F/A-18C and when I brought up the rearm panel to switch loadouts, the game just went back to windows. No error messages or pause, just suddenly looking at my desktop and no DCS anywhere to be found. The system instability I blame on Windows 10, DCS has always been a reliable program for me now matter what machine I play it on. Just wondering if anyone else is having issues after this last 10 update and have found any work arounds? I hate windows, but life without my planes, well, that's just unthinkable.

LOL, slight difference from the Cessna 172 I flew. Pretty sure with that much of forward stick I would have been in the ground and buried. I have been having fun with it, even managed to shoot something down despite Jester being blind and dumb. Thanks for the the help though, maybe I should read the manual at some point.

Thank you, I did not know that. Until I was diagnosed bipolar, I was on track to earn my PP license, so yes, I have heard of trim. This just seemed excessive for a trim tab to hold.

I have noticed that whenever I try to fly the Tomcat low level, 200-500 feet, I have to shove the stick far forward and pin it there, otherwise the Tomcat just shoots up. I know that not every plane likes to go low and fast, best by far are the Viper and the Hornet, but this much stick seems a bit excessive. I have tried different speeds and wing positions and they don't make a difference. I can't hold an altitude lower than 1,000 feet without the plane pointing the nose skyward. Any ideas?

If I am flying low and fast, I suddenly get a master caution light and the message, "Engine Overspeed Right, Engine Overspeed Left," and on the HSI it is written as: Eng Ovrspd Right/Left. I have no idea what this means. Flying around 200-400 feet with throttles at military power, usually doing 550-600 IAS. All I can think is that the Hornet has a speed limit, at that altitude in the Persian Gulf, maybe the air is too dense and the engines are straining a bit, but I don't know. Never heard of this one. At least I haven't snapped the wings off, yet.
