Got it playing in multiplayer with a live WSO, but only the pilot gets the music. Is this right?

I placed the stock kneeboards in a backup folder and Sydy's kneeboards in the above mentioned file directory. This way I did not lose my kneeboard order when the stock kneeboards repopulated. They may have repopulated when I did a repair. I will check after tonight's flying session to see if they repopulate.

I use this one for Shrikes: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3338137/ I use this one for flight and weapons deployment: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3338026/ I also have two kneeboards I created for the button mapping on my Virpil throttle and Alpha grip.

Is there a way to delete the stock F-4 kneeboards? I have my own refined kneeboards, but have to scroll through all the stock ones to get to them. I tried deleting the stock .jpg kneeboards (I left the .lua ones alone) in the directory of: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-4E\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\pages Unfortunately, they seem to repopulate. I fly VR, so the kneeboards are an important issue. Thank you

Your checklists are the first thing I search for when getting a new module and I put it in as the first kneeboard in sequence (usually deleting the kneeboards that come with the module). I would love to see you put out a WSO specific kneeboard, it is sorely missing in the F-4. Thank you so much for your excellent work.
-
Could you please incorporate a kneeboard Stores page that automatically shows what is loaded onto your F-4 and which station. The A-4E-C mod has this and it is really helpful. Thank you.

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. -
Anyone using Prescription Lenses with the Pimax Crystal?
Tshark replied to eFirehawk's topic in Virtual Reality
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!

mods conflict No gunsight view for side gunning
Tshark replied to Tshark's topic in Bugs and Problems
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. -
mods conflict No gunsight view for side gunning
Tshark replied to Tshark's topic in Bugs and Problems
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.

Next level racing HF8 haptic seat pad & DCS
Tshark replied to markturner1960's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
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 -

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?

Well said. I too have had my Crystal for several months. Coming from a Rift then G2, the Crystal has delivered the best VR DCS experience I have ever had. I convinced a close friend to get a Crystal and his experience mirrors mine. Does the comfort of the headset need to be adjusted for the user...you bet! So did every other VR headset I have owned. With any VR headset read ALL the reviews you can, then buy from a retailer that has a 30-day "no reason" refund policy, like Amazon. Really play with the headset for the 30-days then make up your mind if it is for you or not. PCVR is NOT console playing and a "plug and play" VR headset has never existed upon initial release.

Anyone using Prescription Lenses with the Pimax Crystal?
Tshark replied to eFirehawk's topic in Virtual Reality
I have been using HonsVR prescription lenses with my Crystal for about two months and love them. I ordered directly from HonsVR and they arrived very quickly with good customer communication throughout the delivery process. Clarity is great and, with the Crystal, VR has never looked clearer. There is little space in the face mask and I did install a Samsung Odyssey Plus face pad from VRCover. You can get the face pad through Amazon. This face pad solved several problems for me. It gave me the space for the lenses, eliminated the light leaks I had on the sides of the face mask, was more comfortable, and easier to clean. I did lose a little FOV, but short of wearing contact lenses you will not be able to get around that. Eye-tracking and Foveated rendering work flawlessly with the Crystal and HonsVR lenses. I have the resolution turned up to 200% and now the VR image easily rivals my monitor. I too came from a G2 and the Crystal is DEFINITELY the next generation upgrade to the VR experience. As with any VR headset I would recommend ordering through a place like Amazon that allows a 30 day "for any reason" return policy. VR is so personalized it is the only way to ensure a good purchase. Hope this helps. -

I decided to try the Next Level Racing HF8 haptic seat pad. It works out of the box with SSA and I am very happy with it. -
I had the same problem. In the Vaicom control panel (alt+ctrl+C) go to the "Reset" tab. Make sure the "LUA code" box is checked then press "Master Zero". Restart Vaicom and DCS. That got it working for me. Hope this helps
