Oh I see. Would be great if you could share the script!

This may have been asked before but I can’t find an answer. What is the best way to detect a bullet or gunfire from an aircraft (hornet) in a zone? There are conditions for missiles and bombs but I don’t see one for bullet fire. Thanks!

@Chump Awesome! That worked. Thank you so much. Now if ED can fix the IR pointer in MT that would be great!

Hi Chump, thanks for your help. I copied and pasted the text you had into the mission you made and I get the following error after destroying the ground unit. The mission just freezes but after selecting okay it continues and the IR pointer is off. Also, I don't have the A-10 module so I substituted the player unit with an AH-64. Any idea how to fix this?

Hi, I was wondering how to end/kill the IR pointer once the target is destroyed. Can someone write a script or add to the script above to make that work? Thank you. I'm not familiar with scripting but I was able to use the above to get the JTAC to auto lase in a mission I am building but can't get it to stop after the target is dead.

I believe this is still broken with MT. The IR Pointer is visible in ST version.

Thanks Denteded10. I haven't used SteamVR for DCS in over a year. I found OpenXR to run much smoother. Maybe SteamVR has improved in the last year or so and worth a try again?

I spent all afternoon thinking the problem was my computer when DCS kept crashing in the menu or the mission load screen. I went through reversing a whole lot of changes I made to my setup and even did a windows restore...of course that was all pointless and a waste of time because as you've all described above the issue was the update. I mean, it's great and all that they've integrated WMR headsets but some heads up would've been nice and even some info to let us know to turn off Motion Reprojection to avoid the crashing. With that said though, I cannot fly anymore without reprojection. The stuttering is too much on my system. If I had advance warning I would not have updated... Anyway, hope they'll implement reprojection soon but I have my doubts as they've taken this long to get basic WMR integration. I will hold of on any new module purchases or pre-orders until then. Honestly, DCS was working fine before this update. I had no issues copying over the dll file after an update in the past. Would have much preferred that over the state it's in now...

Yeah, I'm assuming it must be related to VR or else there would be many others complaining about this performance hit. It's quite noticeable

Oh nice! Thanks for that info.

Yeah, as I noted in my OP I run DCS with a Reverb G2

Hi all, I've been using the Orion HOTAS F-18 since November and have been loving it. The solid metal handles and bases are just amazing and adds to serious emersion when matched with the Reverb G2. However, there are a couple issues. The first, is that the stick recently started acting up and eventually died last night and was not sensing any movements to the right. I am currently working with WinWing to trouble shoot and hopefully they'll send me replacement parts to get it working again. They've been quite responsive when I submitted the claim and asked me to try and troubleshoot it which included opening up the base and trying to reconnect wires to ensure it was not a loose connection. Unfortunately, it didn't help. The other thing I noticed and have confirmed is that SimAppPro does something that kills performance. When I first got the Orion back in November, I installed SimAppPro and when I started playing DCS I could tell right away that framerates just tanked. I always play with the counter to see what my FPS is in my G2. At that time, I wasn't certain that it was SimAppPro as there were a few other updates to DCS and I was also trying some new mods and so I thought maybe I did something to corrupt my install. Anyway, I decided to go back to a previous Windows OS restore point and also completely uninstall SimAppPro, and DCS Open Beta and delete my DCS Open Beta saved games folder. I re-installed DCS and all the modules but I didn't re-install SimAppPro. After doing this my framerates got back to what they were before. Unfortunately, when my stick died last night I had to re-install SimAppPro to troubleshoot it with the tech from WinWing. And in doing so, my DCS performance tanked again. This time, I just uninstalled SimAppPro and just deleted my entire saved games folder and it addressed the issue. So it seems like SimAppPro puts something in the saved games folder that causes issues with DCS. I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this before and I would be curious to know if anyone found a way to get around what SimApp is doing. Because of this I have never really used SimApp but it seems from other users that it is a great App.

I see. Thanks guys that’s helpful to know

Thanks. I tried switching it the Acquisition ?SKR and it seemed to work for me. What's the difference between TADS and ?SKR ?

Hi, as noted above when I use George to engage enemy targets he will indicate that the target is locked and stored however his Cued LOS reticle does not move. It always stays fixed in the middle of my display inside the heading tracker. Does anyone know if there’s a setting I’m missing? I’m still able to consent to fire and he will launch the hellfire and hit the target but it would be nice if the Cued LOS reticle showed where he’s locked on. Thanks!

mhe, how did it work for you? I got it working, I think. It seems there is a decent uplift in performance and at Ultra Performance I don't see much of an impact on quality. I haven't done a lot of testing so would like to hear thoughts from others!

Thanks Fri13. This explanation helped to address my issue and a few hours of frustration trying to figure out what was wrong with my TPOD slew!

Jib, I tried the day and night setting and it was set to day.

Hi all, I noticed that after 2.7 the MFCDs in the Syria map are really dim now. They are fine in the Persian Gulf map though. Has anyone else experienced this? I can hardly see the TPOD display in CCD mode even with the brightness turned all the way up in Syria

Added another mission in the storyline which requires JTAC communications for targeting and VTOL landing at a FARP. Enjoy! https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315938/

A few additional missions I've made based on a storyline with some real world events and fictional elements to make things interesting. Would appreciate feedback. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315671/ https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315701/ https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315854/

Can someone explain to me why the SA-6 Kub in my game looks like this. Also this is not the only one. Some other tanks have missing tracks and other parts. Is it just my install of the game and all the mods and shaders I've added over time that have corrupted the base game?

Wrench, I'm not experienced with coding and all that. Is there some tutorial that walks through the steps? Honestly, I'm not well versed enough in this and I would need some more guidance to get this to work. LOL.

Razbam's pilot in the AV-8B is well done. Is there a way to put that model in another plane?

Hi all, just wanted to throw it out there for anyone looking for a Harrier Mission. It's not very long - Day time flight, Ground targets, and the possibility of air-to-air engagement, air-to-air refueling and carrier landing. There are some triggers, player controlled AI activation for air support, custom kneeboards and voiced over events. My first time building a mission so open to feedback from the community. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315631/
