F16EX grip and Orion 1 stick base here, received around May 2022. I've been going back and forth with Winwing support for a few weeks and after a series of steps testing, they sent me new connector cables for both the stick and base. I replaced the one in the stick only so far and 3 days so far no issues. I'm guessing my previous cable had a few too many kinks in it. Here is a picture of my old F16EX grip cable and new replacement. Crossing my fingers! FWIW I cannot tighten my knurled collar all the way and working with support to see if I'm doing something wrong.

I think I shot a Mav at the speedboat and that triggered stopping the ship. As for the Rockeye, I think that wing got blown off on the first pass where they opened fire, so the Mav was my only option

Have you found any helipads to practice on in your travels? I am just now discovering helos and finding things to land/crash on. I know there are a few oil platforms off the Sochi coast but haven't found any more.

Hey everyone, Going down the rotary rabbithole and rediscovering some maps I've had for a while. Besides the Burj Al Arab, are there any other rooftop helipads to land on? Thanks ^_^ Nakesh

Just wanted to chime in and say what great fun the Variable missions are and been enjoying the A2A missions that were added after the original Caucasus mission. But gotta ask...what missions are people doing in the TF-51 and Yak52?

Thanks, Bignewy! The cleanup did it. I only have a few liveries and DCS kneeboard, but I still somehow managed to mess up the countermeasures Appreciate the quick assist.

So I'm probably going to embarrass myself here, but recently I haven't been able to get my countermeasures to dispense. I tried using bypass modes as well, and nothing. Also tried mapping CMS FWD to keyboard to bypass the stick in case it's a hardware issue, all no luck. Here is a track file.. anyone else have this problem recently? Thanks- Nakesh viperflares.trk

Are you still having issues? I am having similar issues with my F-16EX stick and Orion base and have been going back and forth with customer service but haven't quite resolved it.

Silly me. Problem was attempting to download the campaign before running the update, which I thought ran first before any download. Anyway if anyone gets this error, run an update first ^_^

nullAnyone else getting this error when trying to download and install Dominant Fury? Just tried doing a DCS cleanup but no luck.

Just got my Orion 2 and it is pretty sweet, but has anyone been able to map their parking brake on/off for the Hornet? There is the CW/CCW rotate and push/stow, doesn't seem mappable to a two way switch.

WHAT? I need to try this

Hey there, I was browsing the forums looking for the same thing. For Marianas, and if you have Syria, FC3 has some pretty well populated free flight missions. For Marianas, I used the F-15 cold and dark start mission, unhid the Tarawa and Stennis, and changed the Stennis to one of the Supercarrier carriers and reattached the statics to the deck. The Su-25T free flight and ground attack instant actions have the Marianas populated with redfor. For Syria, most of the free flights have about 370 units populating the map, but the Su-33 takeoff and free flight mission has the Kuznetsov at sea. I unhid the Kuz, changed it to the Supercarrier version, and reattached the statics to the deck. For Channel, I'm using the Spitfire cold and dark start since it's the only warbird I have, but a lot of the instant actions seem to have similar unit counts and I suspect other warbird missions are populated similarly. I'm still looking for good ways to populate the Persian Gulf and Caucuses though! Hope this helps a little, and if you find good templates, let me know.

ED: thank you for the wonderful new ground unit templates! Just a heads up: the German and CJTF Blue NASAMs have Flak instead of NASAMs. USA, Norwegian, and others have NASAMs as usual.

Hi everyone and BD, After following all the waypoints and turning north, Biff briefs me on FENCE checks then no more dialogue, I head to Orbit and just wait, but nothing... did I miss a trigger, has this happened to anyone else? Hey everyone, looks like I missed a turn the first time, turned in late, and missed a trigger zone. Please disregard...but if others get this problem above, make sure you turn on time! Brrrrrt!

Not sure if this is the appropriate thread, but CBU105s seem to be falling short or dispensing almost immediately when popping up for a toss bomb run...sometimes. I can't seem to force it to do it 100% of the time, though. Level bombing seems to be fine. Track file attached!cbushort.trk

Thank you! PM sent.

Hi folks, I was an hour+ into my flight and about to RTB, but had to pause my flight to, you know, go to bed. Next morning my toddler who loves watching DCS cinematics just walks behind my desk and flicks the PSU power switch off. It'd be awesome to pick up where I left off by CTRL-Z'ing through the first hour of the flight and not have to do it all again. Would anyone mind uploading their mission 7 track file for me?

Ah ok, thanks!

>> Is there no way to save progress and continue later...very frustrating to get through almost an hour in and have this happen. << Due to time constraints and lack of save function, if I die, or a trigger screws up or something, I replay the track, speed it waaaay up, then hit take control to retry where things went wrong. It's sort of a really sloppy save game feature. It doesn't progress your campaign, but I just note my score, hit 'skip' in the campaign menu, then edit my new score into my log book.

I like staring at the butts of the ones that have gotten texture refreshes lately, like the Leopard 2A6 and the Merkava. The T90 is cool since it has missiles that I never use...it's just nice having the option. I stay away from the US vehicles due to the dated textures, so have been rolling in their blue alternatives, like the Marder or Dana. On the red side, I love the BTR82, and wish the T72B3 was drivable, since it looks so beastly. Anyone have any favorites? I'm trying to drive them all eventually to see what's the most fun, and would love to hear your favorites to try first.

Read the whole manual but learned a bunch from this video. Was there ever a part two?

Hey thanks! I was searching and missed that one. I'm going to try that LUA workaround.

Thank you! Re-playing the Museum Relic, got shot up, paused, found this thread, and landed safely (with a MiG full of .50cal-sized holes in it)

Flew mission 2, it wasn't until 3/4 into training I didn't notice he wasn't even with me, so looked at F10 and he was still in his parking area. I had his voiceover instructing me the whole time, then we got to Moapa where we contacted approach. Last transmission was approach's telling me to descend to 5000. I didn't get any notification to tune to tower so did so at my own around 5miles like in the M2k campaign. I landed, didn't get a prompt to tune to ground so did so on my own and taxied back to my starting location and shut down. As I pulled in, I got a 'one is taxing out' from Kermit. No mission complete/success notification, so shut down on my own and quit, got result of 50. Best guess is I somehow missed a trigger while taxiing out that was supposed to have Biff follow me out? Really looking forward to mission 3! Learned a bunch in the first two lessons so far. Great campaign.
