  1. Ah, that makes sense. I never use Easy Comms. Thanks
  2. I've seen some MP server missions that display frequencies within the comms menu for various things such as JTAC and AWACS. Searched the doc and forum but can't find anything that shows how to do this. Help?
  3. Another setup item to consider is interference from your monitor. I think most people use VR with their monitor directly in front of them. But this can create IR reflection into the Leap Motion camera, and according to the troubleshooting, can cause tracking performance issues. I was having a problem with my right hand disappearing in DCS until I moved my monitor (fortunately mine is on a swivel mount and can be easily moved to one side when needed). Something to try at least...
  4. I searched the forum for an answer but no joy. Just purchased the F-16C Viper and noticed that when using my monitor I can see smoke from the gun when fired, but cannot see this while in VR. I do not have any mods so curious if anyone else has (not) seen this. Thanks
  5. Yep, that did it. After running repair and moving extra files to a backup, the lights now work. Not sure if the problem was a corrupted file or one of the mods. Should have tried that first but because I don't do it very often I forgot about it. Thank you kindly.
  6. @Flappie: Thanks for your quick reply. When I play your track and view the aircraft from the outside, the landing/taxi lights never come on. So if this track works for you, I must assume that there is something wrong with my installation - but I'm not sure what I can so outside of reinstalling DCS, which I do not want to do of course. If you have any suggestions that'd be great. Thanks again.
  7. I just purchased the F5 Tiger II and am having a problem... I've read the flight manual regarding turning up the NAV lights, and I've searched through the forum and the internet for an answer, but at this point I cannot get the taxi/landing lights to extend and turn on. I have the NAV rheostat turned up fully and the taxi/landing light switch positioned to the up/on position, but I can see no lights from the cockpit or from the outside aircraft view. Any help would be greatly appreciated
  8. I'm hoping I can get a quick answer on this one... I've setup a mission with two Mosquitos (Group 1) and two P-51s (Group 2). One Mosquito is set to Client, and the others are AI. I've created an Advanced Waypoint task with the P-51s to "Follow" the Mosquito Group Leader (me as Client), but after I takeoff, only my Mosquito wingman follows me. The P-51s takeoff and just fly around the airfield. I've tried everything I can think of to no avail (e.g. set waypoint for P-51s to same destination as where I'm going, tried 'Triggered' task to Follow, etc.). Any help or insights would be appreciated.
  9. Thanks!! - I can make that work. Regards
  10. Thanks for the quick reply. So, I put the following into a REPETITIVE ACTION - DO SCRIPT, where 'Static' is the actual name of the static object I'm trying to destroy: local unit = StaticObject.getByName('Static') if unit:getLife() < 100 then unit:destroy() end ...but I can shoot at the Static object until I'm out of ammo and nothing ever happens. I'm either doing something wrong or the static object never seems to register any damage. Any further help welcomed. Thanks.
  11. So this is a scripting question, of which I am just beginning to learn. I want to be able to damage a static object (building) and capture when remaining life is below a certain percentage so I can then explode and destroy the object. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.
  12. Because I use VR I actually use VoiceAttack to control the bomb doors, landing gear/latch and flap latch. Simplifies things a bit while flying...
  13. Yep, that did it. More trim in all directions and slow rotation seems to be the ticket. Thanks.
  14. I just installed the Mosquito and have looked at the various resources on how to configure the plane for takeoff. But when I follow the recommended setup (RPM @3000, stick back, elevator 1/2 division nose down, aileron neutral and rudder slightly right, move stick forward 1/2 inch at 35 MPH) I find that once the plane rotates it immediately rolls and yaws to the left uncontrollably and crashes. I have to crank the rudder "and aileron" trim very far to the right in order to prevent this from happening. Curious to know if anyone else has experienced this, and if maybe I'm doing something wrong. I've checked and rechecked axis mappings and everything seems fine. Thanks
