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.

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.

I guess still no update on this keybind? Anyone able to get the modification work in the meantime?

That explains it, thank you. I'll download the beta

2.7.5.10869. I run the updater normally.

I thought the patch also should have set the Flaps back to an axis. However, in my version it still works as OnOff or Down/Up, no in between settings. Did I misunderstand something?

Follow up on this topic. Turns out, I might have been following the 'wrong' needles. My displays were on ILS, so when I switched on ACLS, the plane had to correct for the correct needles. Did not know that ACLS and ICLS show different signals. Posting this in case anyone is in the same boat

Thanks for the quick response. I was just confused how people on Youtube have wire#3 videos on ACLS and their ride seems much smoother even if their lineup with the needles is less favourable than mine. I'll just have to wait it out then!

I'm having the same issue. I've been flying the Case III recovery mission in Caucasus or Persian Gulf under Instant Action. I'm pretty confident in my alignment with the needles. I had auto-throttle on at around 8 nm which kept the AOA very nicely within range. However, when I engage the autopilot with the nosewheel steering button (after all the correct lights light up) at around 4 nm with the needle being centered, the autopilot makes a dive. After that, the autothrottle also goes out of whack and it's always overcorrecting (despite the fact that before autopilot engagement it was holding the AOA nicely). I tried different outside temperature settings for the auto-throttle with no real difference in the way it controlled throttle. The autopilot flies low with regards to IFLOLS overlay. It lands on the carrier, however, with the large AOA swings it's a pretty bad approach and I can manually do better. What is going on with ACLS currently?

I guess I'll have to do that

What VR controllers do you use? I have tried it again, palm up and down, and couldn't get it to work. I wait in while the stabilizers lock, oversweep flag appears. I can pull the handle back to oversweep and the wings seem to go to oversweep. However, I cannot stow the handle nor close the guard.

thank you, good to know! hopefully it gets implemented for VR users
