  1. SOLVED : windows has now been update, nvidia drivers updated, DCS uptaded ... Ans oh surprise, the problem dissapeared.
  2. The file name is actually : "F-16C - Persian Gulf - Turn Off the Lights.miz" The path on my PC is : "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Missions\Single" And yes, we found a way to correct th problem. Which reminds of the british TV show "The IT crowd" and it's famous quote : "Have you tried to turn it off and on again ?"
  3. The mission is "Turn off the light" which is provided when you have the F-16C module and the persian gulf map. I tried mdmasters trick and it works : "I toggle the GPS time field to "off", then suddenly the data link starts working, the sync field says "syncing" (or something like that) for a moment, and then it changes to a status of "fine". I can then turn the GPS time field back to "on" and the data link seems to work."
  4. It's not really a bug. I changed my PC monitor. Same resolution (4K). I used to shut down (power off) the monitor when flying in VR, for 2 purposes : 1. Less problem of "picture drifting" in VR 2. Reduce electricity consumption No problem with my old monitor. With the new one, if I shut it down, the mouse cursor field gets limited to a small rectangle part of the field of view in the upper left corner. When I power the monitor on, everything is back to normal.
  5. I think everything is in the title. Very simple : Team members are the AWACS and wingman. Nothing on HSD.
  6. OK Thanks. I really don't understand the ergonomics of the fighter cockpits, be it F/A-18, F-16, F-15, ... . Did Boeing, Lookheed, ... engineers really study the ergonomics like "OK we must design a cockpit where everything seems natural, efficient in combat, easy to learn and remember". Or do they like I do in DCS with my gear : "OK I have this HOTAS with these switches, how can I map the most convenient way the functions I need". (The same with MFDs : look the Hornet, where the alert messages override the bottom of the page of the LEFT MFD, even if it masks valuable informations. Couldn't they do better ? Was it coded by an intern ? Such bad design for a fighter that is worth millions dollars and goes to war. Can't understand.)
  7. I just began the process to try to learn and understand the whole stuff, but from where I stand, castle switch depress is only necessary to make HUD in control ? (press castel switch depress and then castle switch up). Idon't really understand why. Problem is : many of us probably don't have HOTAS with many four ways + depress switches. Could we have an option to make castle switch depress to make HUD in control not necessary (only castle switch UP) ?
  8. Mission : not sure 70-80 or 80-90 Mission 3 : 70-80 Mission 4 : I reattacked BANDAR ABBAS with devil 2 as strike element. Same effect : only foot soldiers killed. And, can you believe it, devil 2-1 (or 2-2) managed to get shot down on egress route by AAA over SIRI island. They were flying angels 9 !! Bunch of id**ts !
  9. Hello, I made 3 OCA strikes. Myself has SEAD escort. 1. SIRRI AFB Debrief : No AFB got any damages ! Bombs killed many AK-74 and that's all. I remember I saw several buildings (military hangars) burning. No damage to the runway or valuable asset. 2. PLayed the mission again. That was good ! Runway destroyed. Radar sam destroyed. I even had the opportuniy to destroy 2 MIGs standing on a parking with my GBUs. Good job ! 2. BANDAR ABBAS Same as mission 1. Bombs killed many AK-74 and that's all. No significant damages to the AFB. P.S. And Thanks for the update of the kneeboard. Much appreciated.
  10. Oh yes I know. I replayed the same mission. Didn't encounter the same bandits but the wingman engaged. He even saved my a*s when a bandit managed to get behind me. The problem is AI behavior is really "unpredictable".
  11. I concur. We really need this. And maybe the channel frequencies chart. Other issue, but this is DCS not the campaign I guess : the wingman refuses to "engage my target" despite repeated orders and repeated acknowledgements. From BVR to merge.
  12. Noticed the same. Used Kutaisi Tacan 44X. Tacan mode on HSI. Needle still points to WP. Same for distance. Tacan audio feedback beeps. But nav cue on HUD seems to display according to Tacan.
  13. "Engage my target" doesn't work how I would like it to work, I mean to sort targets, i.e. Tell the wingman to engage bandit 2 while I engage bandit 1. For exemple, in the Hornet : I have a bandit designated on the rader as primary and a second one as secondary target. I command “engage my target”. He acknowledges. On the SA page, with DL, I see the wingman engages my primary target. Fine, then I switch (undesignate button) my primary and secondary target designation so I can engage the other bandit. THEN, unfortunatly, my wingman changes his target too ! He constantly engages your primary target wathever you designate. So what's the point ? So you can think you'll use “engage bandits” command, let your wingman choose his target, and then choose another one for yourself (if you're flying a bird that has DL). But on the “Hornet 1989 Alert 5” mission, for exemple, you have to destroy an attack package of 4 SU24 escorted by 2 MIG29. The idiot wingman chooses to engage a SU24. So you have to deal alone with the 2 aggressive MIG29. I'm getting tired with solo missions and dealing with AI (AI stands for Artificial Idiocy, right ?), I'm willing to try to fly with humans so you can cooperate efficiently : “you engage the trail bandit and I engage the lead, roger, let's go”.
  14. Same problem with my TM Warthog. Set a dead zone to 20 on the TDC axis, and it becomes doable to designe a box (almost as easy as AA refuel, requires as much calm). 20% dead zone seems to make the TDC axis usable for other purposes. I will try to adjust the best value. I think Eagle Dynamics should address this issue.
  15. Thanks for your answers. Happy to know I'm not crazy.
