Mr. Farknocker

Thanks for your input. I'll check my pc as soon as I am able to and report back.

My DCS randomly freezes or crashes when flying a training mission or MP. I was hoping that the latest patch would fix the problem but it didn't. I think the problem has to do with my PC settings rather than DCS itself based on my read of the log file. It looks like the saved games folder folder attribute is locked to read-only. This is probably why I also can't save my log-in info and must log-in each time DCS is started up. I can't seem to change this setting no matter what I do. Can anyone confirm that this is indeed my problem and if so, how to fix it? Log file is attached. dcs.log

My DCS crashes with the F4 when I'm going through training or MP. I think it may have to do with the saved games folder being read only. Can anyone confirm? dcs.log

All of my other modules allow me to pair one of the two levers on my Winwing Orion Throttle base to the zoom to zoom in and out. I believe it is identified in the control settings as "Zoom" as opposed to Zoom In Slowly, etc. This feature doesn't seem to appear in the settings for the F4. Has it been removed or just relabeled?

I have the same problem.

disregard. I figured it out. hold right-control + end to unlock the right throttle lever

Stupid question here. I have my throttles mapped to my Winwing throttle levers but i can't seem to move them out of the locked position at startup. I hold the ignition switch down and then move the throttle lever forward but the levers don't move. Am I missing a step?

Same problem here except that my error code is 504 which indicates a gateway timeout.

Someone on Reddit says this pot works: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/774-251B12T104A2NB. I just ordered it and will report back if it works for me.

The point of aim and point of impact for the rockets in L version are different. The rockets seem to impact a spot above and to the left of the aiming reticle (i.e., the 10-11 o'clock position relative to the POI). It's not by much but its enough to cause me to miss my targets. Is anyone else experiencing the same phenomena? p.s. sorry for the grammatical error in the title.

Same problem here. I just make sure I'm buckled in before lifting off.

Door gunners are affected. Also confirmed by another in an earlier post.

This happened to me yesterday on the ECW server with some degree of hilarity. 1) I accidentally fired at a fellow Huey in a co-altitude merge after misidentifying the Huey. I turned around to pursue the Huey and then realized it was a team mate. Unfortunately, the guns wouldn't stop firing and the huey pilot screamed out that he was a friendly. I had to tell my gun trigger was stuck; 2) I saw a huey tracers (but not the huey) miles away from me with the same problem as he engaged another RC/FW. I couldn't see the Huey but I could see his red string of tracers shooting all over the place nonstop. It was like drunk man losing his balance while peeing and not being able to stop. It was spraying all over the place and was clearly attracting the attention of the enemy aircraft in the area even though they probably could not see the Huey as well; and 3) my right minigun was stuck and firing non stop. I hit the trigger and the right gun stopped but the left gun got stuck on firing. I hit the firing trigger again and the left gun stopped but the right one started again. This kept on repeating until I ran out of ammo. If you are playing on a PvP server and this happens and you can't get your guns unstuck, quickly descend to the ground (if you are able to) below tree level and stay there until you get your guns to stop or you run out of ammo to avoid nosey neighbors.

I have experienced intermittent problems with my my pipper and fishnet in my HUD during fight. For reasons which escapes me, both of these things shut off ocassionally. When this happens, my airspeed indicator and altimeter also stopped working. After a few minutes it goes back on again only to shut off once more after a minute or two. This cycle seems to repeat itself every so many minutes. Are these intermittent problems caused by a frozen pitot tube and will turning on the pitot tube heat solve the problem? I don 't think its a bug. I think it's because of my set-up.

Any results worth posting?
