I was playing the LANTIRN training day mission in the F14. At some point I had to rejoin the tanker, and the TACAN did not work neither in A/A nor T/R, or neither when I set it myself nor through Jester. TACAN back to carrier was working fine. Am using the stable version of DCS

Great document, thank you for it! I’ve jammed the flaps with overspeeding before. I tried to use the emergency flap up keybind but it didn’t retract the flaps. Is there more to its use?

I fly in VR and thus VID is quite tricky. I wonder when real pilots called out VID? Was it possible to do before the merge?

Hi, I never had haptic feedback for the F14 in VR. In the F18 it works and it feels very nice, and I miss it from the F14. Pressing buttons in the cockpit gives haptic feedback in the controllers in the F18. Is this a bug? Was it ever intended to be implemented? I could not find a previous thread about this. Thanks!

Hi Hiob, attached is a screenshot of my settings. On the Marianas, up at altitude, I was getting 55 FPS. Also in the P51D in the Caucasus at sunset (Lochini landing challenge) In the Tomcat, just doing case I recoveries in the Caucasus it's barely at 30 though. on the other hand, MSFS gives me a smooth experience. I have a slight overclocking of the GPU.

I mostly fly the F14 in Caucasus or Nevada. After your guys’ suggestion I turned MSAA off, and clouds from ultra to high. I think there is some improvement. Textures are medium. In the air over water FPS is hovering between 35-60 Id say. However, on the deck, I’m happy if I get 30. I have a 5700x Ryzen and 32Gb ram. Unfortunately I can’t use OpenXR, as I need SteamVR for my motion SIM. thanks for all the suggestions.

Thanks Kaba for your help! Didn't realize I could do that but certainly will!

Makes sense, thanks so much!

What does ‘nose high aircraft goes high’ mean? Also wondering about the decks. Was the pilot supposed to calculate 5000’ft AGL to pressure altitude? I can see how they could use radar altimeter for the 500’ft deck, but how did they monitor the higher decks? Thanks In advance, loving the reality of the campaign!

I’m just wondering what other people’s experience is with regards to FPS with a 3080 and a Reverb G2. I usually get around 30, unfortunately I can’t say gameplay is smooth. I’ve played around some with the settings following a guide but I am unwilling to sacrifice the high cockpit resolution for now.

I am not sure where to find any more log files - there is no crash file for today's crash, maybe as I had to exit via task manager? The only file associated with today's attempt is attached. The repeatable hang does sound similar - although I had the game crash after Wp1 as well. dcs.log.old

Unfortunately no luck on my side. I got to 17 minutes of gameplay and to around 30 000 ft this time. Attached is new track. The only mod I have is some kneeboard pages. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BGdxALtE2hbEfw9zcFM1i0kRjQdYZ_xS?usp=sharing

I will give it a try and let you as soon as I can. Thanks for the effort!

Hi Kaba, Thanks for getting back. I am attaching two track files. One where I got to the target, got killed on the way back - 45 minutes of gameplay or so with no crash. Second attachment happened at a later attempt - just heading to Wp1 the game crashed. Mission before this in the campaign worked fine. Only other campaign I have is the Zone 5 which has worked well so far. Thanks for the help. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BGdxALtE2hbEfw9zcFM1i0kRjQdYZ_xS?usp=sharing files were larger than 5 MB

I was able to find some links on DCS forums a while back about F14 NATOPS manuals and it had F14A as well. I don’t have the links right now, let me know if you can’t find them. As far as I remember the procedure also involved gaining some altitude, but I was also unable to put the fire out and landed on the deck with one engine on fire still

Also, you have to press the nose wheel steering button to actually engage it. Also depends on which version you are on, I don’t think it works in the stable version currently!

I’ve also posted in the Cage the Bear Campaign thread. I cannot complete the mission without the game freezing. Other campaigns, specifically Zone 5, works fine, even though the gameplay can reach 2 hours. Cage the Bear, there is no specific time when it freezes but it always does

Thanks for clearing that up!

Hi all, I am relatively new to air combat and I'd like to learn more about the rules of engagement. Some of them are not quite clear for me. For instance, am I allowed to fire any shots head-on? I thought I was not and I just got gunned down head-on what do they mean by front-quarter shots? If you have some resources explaining some of the rules that would be great. I understand soft and hard deck. I'm not quite sure about the 'bubble' - does that just mean I cannot get within 500 ft' of other aircraft? Any help is appreciated! The campaign is otherwise fantastic and it's def a dream come true!

One thing that does not work for me according to the manual is that I cannot stow the handle in oversweep, and therefore cannot close the plastic cover. I am in VR. Neither right or left click with the VR controllers stows it. Obviously not a make or brake it detail but I wonder if others have the same issue

I think something similar is happening with the carrier as well in Instant Action recovery missions. TACAN works as I approach the carrier, and then after the break bearing and range information disappear. It was working well before. I am using the stable version

Attitude hold and altitude hold are working well for me. However, heading hold does not hold the heading when I engage it. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, is as mentioned above it's still being worked on. Anyone able to hold a heading with it engaged?

Hi, I've been trying to complete the mission Cargo in the F14. First time I completed the objective, then when returning home and refueling, the game crashed. Ever since, I have not been able to make it to waypoint 1 before the game crashes. Sometimes it crashes upon start up, sometimes in the air. I have tried to turn off all overclocking on the PC, did not resolve the issue. Other aircraft do not seem to have an issue. I have already done a DCS repair and am running the stable version. Another bug I've noticed since one the the latest updates is that when I am doing Instant action CV1 recovery, the TACAN loses its range and bearing information when I am approaching the ship. Moreover, when hooking up to the catapult, I get violent shaking of the motion sim recently. I look forward to hearing back. Thanks Bug submit form, "ExampleBug": --- Bug: First time I completed the objective, then when returning home and refueling, the game crashed. Ever since, I have not been able to make it to waypoint 1 before the game crashes. Sometimes it crashes upon start up, sometimes in the air. Can I reproduce it 100%: yes If not 100%, how often out of 10: 9/10 (if you have to please take an educated guess) How to reproduce/ description: I take off, turn towards waypoint 1, engage autopilot, climb to 30 000ft, then game crashes before making it to waypoint 1. However, it has crashed on the deck as well.

The same happened to me with the new update. Moreover, the Oculus Rift S controller had some very funky bindings. I managed to erase some of them (such as stick on controller replacing the actual stick input controlling the plane). I liked how in the old version I could bring up the pause menu with the left controller as well as I could focus the view with the right controller. Now these functions of the controller are gone. I tried to map 'Zoom' to the Oculus controllers from the View menu, however, it does not actually zoom. Also, where can I find a Pause menu keybinding? I'd like to map that back to my Oculus controller. Thanks for any help Edit: I've found most of the keybindings I was looking for. Most of them were under general or UI settings for anyone in same boat

Also, make sure you actually move the lever, and not turn it. Turning it is the emergency gear activation, so you wanna see the handle move. It happened to me initially.
