Hi all. Hope you are doing very well. I have the Saitek x52 (none Pro). The amazing feature is that you can have three different modes for your keyboard mappings. As an F14B pilot I have mode 1 as pilot, mode 2 as Rio and mode 3 as Rio LANTIRN. Lately when playing DCS, for no reason I can determine, the keyboard stops functioning in mode 1 & 2. This means when I press any HOTAS buttons in mode 1 or 2 the mapped key does not work. I can't even F1 or F2, or even press Esc using the actual keyboard. No keys work on the keyboard and this disables all mappings. When I switch to mode 3 the keyboard starts working fine again. But not if I switch back to mode 1 or 2. As mode 3 is my RIO LANTIRN settings it means things like trimming the air plane, raising gear, flaps etc will not work because they are mapped to Mode 1. Has anybody come across this issue or know any workarounds or solutions? Honestly, any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Good afternoon all, I'm new to DCS. Top Gun is one of my favourite films so I waded in a bought the F14B. What a beauty she is. I've got to a basic standard of ACM, take off, shore and carrier landing. Set up some training missions in the Mission Editor to practice BVR AIM-54 from RIO. Just really finding my feet. I am hoping their is a UK based squadron out there looking to recruit a newbie to show me the ropes and have online fun (sounds like a Tinder ad lol). If you are looking for a new player just let me know your Discord channel and I hope to see you online soon. Kindest regards, BitLeg.

Hello I am helping you can guide me with this query. It's regarding the F14B landing lights. What lights, specifically, should be used when landing and which lights should be used when taking off. Any ideas?
