Ok thanks. Guess I didn’t implement the switcher properly. I couldn’t get DCs to show up in there so just did what I did last time.

Current front page instructions do not tell you to download openvr_api.dll and copy it to your DCE/bin folder, but you need to do this. I did a page search for openvr_api to make sure I wasn't going blind.

Could be. I'll give that a go in a bit. incidentally I have not option to contact JTAC when I'm on the ground. Not until I get airborne do the JTAC menu options appear, SUCCESS!!! That was it. Too far from the JTAC. Made harder to diagnose because my harrier was initially able to make contact from a massive distance and then it degraded. In fact you have to be quite close. Anyway, many thanks for all the suggestions and particularly to buur who identified the real problem in the end.

I have one JTAC on 133 and one on 135. Comm2 Channel 1 is set to 133, and channel 2 is set to 135. Starting either jet airborne at larnaca: Harrier : Can contact axeman and darkknight by using comm2 on the appropriate channels. Partway throught the back and forth the jtac audio degrades and eventually they stop responding (as I'm flying closer toward them) Hornet: No response 90% of the time. I did get an initial response from axeman once but nothing past the initial response.

Well now I have a clean install and clean profiles and still neither jtac will respond to the hornet using either easy comms or correct comms. I don't understand how it's working for buur and not me on the same mission file.

This truly makes no sense then. Full reinstall (nearly 300 gig download!) , set easy comms off and on that mission I cannot get a jtac response from either of them in either aircraft. @buur any chance you could upload your tweaked version for me to try? Maybe my old install somehow corrupted it.

If you have easy comms on then # works for everything. If you don't then yeah, you have to pick the right radio with the right frequency etc. Not a Hornet thing; applies to Harrier too for example. Anyway, a full repair achieved nothing ... reinstalling

Are you on open beta (I am)? Must be something wrong with my installation. I changed axeman to laser only but he will not respond to my Hornet, nor will DarkKnight. EDIT: Doesn't work from ground either and Harrier doesn't get a response either now. WTF!? lol. I'll try a repair, after that it's a reinstall job.

Mission uploaded. When spawning as the Harrier, one or other, or both JTACS *may* respond (in my experience). When spawning as the Hornet they never will. They are asked to mark with laser. If you do get them to respond they will respond with No Mark. Sometimes the F1 option for e.g. Ready for readback, will fail and you'll have to bring the jtac menu up and select it again. Simple mission really. 2 Blue planes, 2 red trucks as targets and 2 jtacs targetting those trucks in as simple a way as I could do it.

I’ll make a few, illustrating each problem. Should have done that straight away but wanted to get all the issues down while they were still fresh in my mind.

First contact with JTAC I will sometimes report Time on station, sometimes I'll report Playtime. Randomly changes in the same mission. Tell jtac to target a truck, mark with laser. JTAC targets infantry, marked with IR, or not marked at all JTAC doesn't respond at all a lot of the time When using AV-8B the aircraft name is not used by the pilot or JTAC When using AV-8B with AGM-65 E 2 the weapon is not read out by pilot or read back by jtac Pilot and JTAC do not acknowledge the fact my AV-8B has a gunpod i.e If I have the older laser mavericks loaded and a gunpod it states I have AGM-65E but no gun The above is mostly when I have multiple JTACs (all with their own callsign and frequency, in every part of the set up in the extended waypoint section) I have this issue with Hornet and Harrier, on multiple mission files in Syria and PG. Every video I've see describes a slightly different way to set things up and none of them show how to do multiple JTACs. Any help gratefully received! ExampleJTACProblem.miz

HI, with Tacview (1.86) running about 15 minutes into my simple single playter mission my framerate drops to single digits, GPU goes to 100% and GPU fans full blast. Core temp of GPU is 86c, CPU is about 66c. I can reproduce this fairly consistently. Disabling tacview makes the problem go away. 32GB Ram, Ryzen 3600, Radeon 6800XT, SSD. Any tips on how I can stop it from crippling the game? Cheers. EDIT: I'm not 100% sure that it's even Tacview but I only had this problem since enabling it last week and after disabling it have been unable to reproduce it. I also noticed that with tacview on if I go into active pause my framerate immediately halves. unpausing returns it to previous framerate. I can toggle this and see it happening each time. Does not happen with tacview disabled.

I found this with Dragon's Dogma and Dear Esther. My solution was a cheap, powered USB hub that allows you to switch individual ports off. I plug my stick, throttle and rudders into this and just switch them off if i play anything besides DCS. Which is hardly ever but still

Appreciate the clarification, as may others who stumble into here. Good stuff.

An extra click after context clicking a file when the options presented aren't what you want (which is most of the time) to select other options and finally the thing you want to do. The replacement of Copy, Cut and paste options with an iconic equivalent, on that same context menu. WHY!!!???? Everythign else is text. Why make those 3 icons? There might be others but those two are a constant annoyance. On the plus side... nope, I can't think of anything!
