Hi, came across an issue with the MT-50CM2 throttle from Virpil. I use it with 5 way mode enabled in order that my 6 led change color and help me remember which mode I am in (Navigation/combat etc) because I use the mode selector as a modifier in DCS. For example, in mode 4, the T4 button will have a function associated to the radar range while in mode 1 it will be used to lower or raise the seat. I assigned the mode1-5 buttons to windows logical buttons 85-89. However, in DCS when I fly and switch to any mode from mode 1 the PC's keyboard will no longer work (esc key not even working) and most of the stick buttons also become inoperable. Any idea what is going on? RESOLVED - I stopped using the position of the mode selector as a modifier in DCS and mapped the buttons directly in VIRPIL software for each mode (by default only the 6 led lit buttons are mapped). No more conflict.

Fagulha Bravo! You solved it. Country is the reason why they were not appearing in mission builder. Thanks a bunch

+1 very poor kneeboard implementation...needs upgrading for a sim like this

Guys, Got into DCS recently and wanted new skins for the Mirage 2000C ... Why is it so difficult? after reading different posts I finally double installed them into: C:\Users\MyName\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Liveries and into: C:\Users\MyName\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\M-2000C Well... sure the game sees them as the ground crew is happy to paint my airframe as I want BUT the mission editor sees NOTHING! Absolutely nothing :cry: Surely there is a single directory this should go into and be visible by every component of DCS? BTW...am on OpenBeta. Thks for the single answer that rules them all (if such thing exists :smilewink:)

Ok Thks. So think it it Track ir that loses a bit its centre line becasue the speed and altitude boxes are also a pb and these should not move. Need top reset position more often. Pb is at the moment the default zoom position is too zoomed in so everytime I reset trackir I need to zoom out again...need to find how to change the default zoom...

someone pleeeeease help...

Did that...no success Repaired DCS ... no success Cleaned up and repaired DCS ... no success Uninstalled DCS and reinstalled ... no success Noted that durig DCS "reinstallation" the updater copies some files from DCS Open beta which is also installed on my machine...so possibly copies back some corrupt files. Starting to think this is linked to a file that is not in the Eagle dynamics / DCS directory... and does not get cleaned up when I uninstall reshade or delete the DCS directory. Microsoft loves those and they mess things up more often than not :-(

Thks Dukovac. did not solve it unfortunately :-(

Hi Guys, Reshade loads up and I get the banner (press ' home' for tuto etc) but the home key does nothing. Was working until I started using OvGME for a few mods and included a reshade mod (Subtle Reshade) in it. Eventually remove the reshade from OvGME, uninstalled Reshade (4.7) and reinstalled it... nothing will do. Anyone has a idea how I can fix this?

Ok must be dumb... what is name of the control option to cage the HUD (hornet)? ctrl+U not doing a thing and not finding it... :(

ok. might be that...did not feel like it but will pay more attention and will try caging (ctrl-U I think) next time

Will do next time

Hi guys, DCS 2.5 openbeta. Notice on the F18 that my HUD display is annoyingly erratic: Often the entire displays is moving to the left or right and therefore half of indications are not visible, sometimes the horizon lines are centred but the brackets / velocity markers are completely off centre and on the left outside of view ect...making it quite tough as the reset zoom would put them back in the right place. Using Trackir 5 as well btw. Known issue?

got it now. visible after extracting indeed. Thks for the 'tutorial'. reorganised my mods now :-)

Thks Taz, attached screenshots of what I did. guess need to import the mod / enable it in OvGME but although your zip file is in the right directory it does not appear in the list within OvGME... Guess i am still doing something wrong :(

Hi Taz, new to DCS and OvGME so my question might be basic... How do I install your mod wit OvGME? I have all mods in sved game directory rather than DCS' game directory and OvGME tells me your zip file is not a valid Mod-Archive ... Also...how do I select dark or light or medium once installed?

Well That is the reason for my post...I do not see any difference whatsoever playing with Nvidia settings, only those in DCS / System

Mustang: Is the profile inspector telling you if the software is actually taking advantage of the function or not? that is really what I'd like to know given that there are so many settings already I'd rather fly than fiddle with 3D acronyms :-) Since graphics are so core to DCS World it would be useful if the developpers would give us some info...hopefully they do know most of these answers :-)

Guys, confused right now... Do the Nvidia settings in the Nvidia control panel impact the game or not?? Reading conflicting stuff and on my gear (RTX 2080 super) it does not seem to have any impact at all when I select/change stuff on the Nvidia control panel and apply... Definitive answer or not?:(

Haha. Thks guys

I noticed that the autopilot Baro altitude selection seem temperamental. Often I would click on the button and nothing happens, then after numerous attempts, eventually the semicolon would appear. No issue whatsoever with attitude or heading, just with the baro Altitude mode. Anything I am missing or someone experiencing the same behaviour?

Thks shagrat. You are correct. Moved the setting back to 1 screen only...maps working...moved back to previous setting with 3 screens and maps now also working. Not sure what happened? Maybe a file got corrupted or something but well...it is fixed! Thanks for your help.

Guys, I had 2.5.6 installed and decided to install beta version as well...copied missions and skins and monitor settings files across. In all maps (F10 or mission editor) my mouse does not click where the pointer is but somewhere far on its left...makes it impossible to do anything because you don't have any idea where the 'virtual pointer' actually is... Only does that with beta and only on maps...everything else works fine... Is it something others have come across and managed to fix?

Yeti: CPU avg is 15-25%. Seems only 4-5 cores used. 1 is always 40-75%, other 4 are 10-50%. Supmua: did 1- and 2- on your list -> fps increased to 80-100fps ... gr8 stuff. Thks a bunch

Thks Yeti. Edited 1st post with refresh rates. Just installed msi afterburner ... RTX 2080 super is at 98%. CPU is 25%
