Tankers and cargo...now THERE is the reason to have AI. Each their own. For me it is high fidelity "combat" that sets DCS apart. Not berating others preferences. I just think ED is straying from a great formula. I enjoy an occasional cargo run in the Huey, but would not have bought the module if it did not have a gunship loadout available.

Aside from limited "defensive" capabilities the Chinook effectively removes the "C" from DCS. If I just want to experience the flight characteristics there in another flight sim that has more varied terrain and aircraft. Trainers and trash-haulers just don't do it for me in DCS.

I could not get "Touchdown" to work either. You don't notice it missing if you are moving horizontally as ground rumble kicks in. If you fly in a helicopter, landing vertically, or if you turn off the other feedback options except "Touchdown" in a fixed wing then you notice it missing. Others I fly with have the same experience.

My prescription is -5.25 and -4.75. Pretty thick and I have no problem with eye tracking.

Really looking forward to this.

Found the problem thanks to Flappie. Something changed with the recent DCS updates and the mods I have been using for over a year started causing the trouble. I deleted the mods and now views work as they should. Lesson learned!

Flappie, you were right it was the mods. Something changed with the recent DCS updates and the mods started causing the trouble. Since I had the same problem on the PC I "thought" had no mods installed, I had ruled them out in my troubleshooting. After your response above, I dove deeper into that installation and found several of the same mods. I deleted the mods on both PCs and now views work as they should. Lesson learned! Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the reply Flappie. I tried the track and I can look down the gunsight. I found that for some reason when I enter the gunner position my default view is looking at the back of the other gunner. When I turn around to face my gun I can not look down the gunsight. Also the gun jumps to full traverse side to side when aiming. I uninstalled all mods with no luck and tried it on another pc that has never had a mod on it with the same results. Thanks again for the help Here is the log file: dcs.log

Been trying to get the Huey multi-crew working with the side gunners. Used to be a player could jump into a side gunner (without head tracking) and have a down the gunsight view that is mouse controlled. Now when going to a side gunner you cannot see the gunsight due to a gunner body in the way. This is the same in single player on the ground switching to a gunner position. I have tried using the "hide pilot body" key command and option with no effect.

Thanks for the reply. I tried both of those suggestions with no luck. I am stuck looking at the back of the gunner.

Worked out of the box with SSA for me as well. When you start SSA do you get two windows? One should be the "Seat handler" that shows vibration level and a "ForceFeel seat state okay" notification in the lower left. The other window is SSA effects/settings. Under settings does the "Test Vibe Motors" work on your seat? I know this sounds stupid, but is the HF8 controller on with a lit LED? You might also try a different USB port. Hope this helps

New episode of the "Mover and Gonky Show" will stream live tonight featuring Wags as a guest host.

Thanks for the reply BigNewy. I did update the Nvidia driver from 531.41 to 545.84 and now everything works correctly. A good visual clue for me was that the shortcut icon for DCS changed to the new style upon updating the driver.

DLSS and DLAA are both greyed out for me. I am using DCS standalone Open Beta with multi-thread, VR, and a RTX 4090. Multi-thread is confirmed in the lower right of the menu screen. I have tried with Windows 10 HAGS on and off with no change. I also tried launching DCS directly from the bin-mt folder to eliminate the VR/XR arguments in the executable. No change. Any suggestions?
