  1. I had this same issue when I first started Carrier ops in DCS, and I also had the same issue in P3D using the super hornet. While I cannot verify why it stopped, it stopped when I stopped holding brakes on when pressing the U key. Could be coincidence but I didnt change anything else.
  2. Quick question concerning Tacview playback. When I originally installed Tacview, all worked well, but when I upgraded (at least it was around that time), it always stops recording shortly after the last engagement and does not go to the end of the mission. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
  3. I had a similar issue and it was caused by the export.lua file. On the last update to viacom pro, I believe there was an issue as to how it was put into the export file. He did an updated 2.5.3 and once that was in place, my issue went away.
  4. Ok, not sure I can help much as I am no guru, but here goes. First your .dds files must be 10.6 meg in size I believe (I asked the question but still have no response) so I saved as DXT1 no alpha when converting to .dds. Any other DXT selection made the file larger that 10.6 and did not show in the folder. I used notepad++ to edit the description.lua, used the find and replace feature and placed the old file name in the find and the new replacement file name in replace with and then Replace all. There are several excellent sticky's in the Mod/Liveries section of the forum that go into better detail as this is a very simplified, and hopefully useful explanation
  5. I am looking for CO/XO for VX-9 as line jet is already in the module. I have tried to create them but the ability seems beyond my scope of equipment at this time and was wondering if anyone was doing them. Would be willing to purchase a set of PSD version if someone has available. PM me if someone is willing. Thanks.
  6. OK, have tried for a couple of hours and do not seem to be able to find anything in the forums so here goes. What is the process for saving the updated DDS livery file. I have tried DXT5, DXT1, and all show a file size of 21 megs instead of the 10.6 in other files. I am using Photoshop, and have the Nvidia plug-in for DDS, but cannot get them to take. Anything that can be shared would be appreciated. Thanks:helpsmilie:
  7. You guys never met Murphy? He has a law about this sort of thing.
  8. Especially the kids...........Military training just provides the survival skills. LOL
  9. Wonder if this has been fixed in this latest patch? Guess not. At least according to Release notes for AV8
  10. Thanks BIGNEWY. Will try to send when I get home tonight. Knew it had to be something simple
  11. The last 2 or 3 updates, when the update is actually finished, it seems to freeze on the closing screens (cleaning up and waiting to finish). While I have not seen that it has any effect on the actual update, I have had to force closing (I have left the screens up for hours and it does not close) to continue. I do not know if this is a bug or operator error bu could not find anything about it on a search so thought I would ask.
  12. Same issue here. I have to exit DCS, and close/re-open Voiceattack to get the last used module to go back to default on the PTT page. This was using same mission but different aircraft, but actually closing DCS and restarting. Still had to close VA to get the module to clear.
  13. Not sure what you have the Pixel density slider set to, but anything above 1.5 causes the issue of visibility on my end. It makes sense as once the aircraft is a single pixel, the lower the density, the bigger the pixel.
  14. Well, as expected, it was something I didn't do. There is a Special settings page for the Harrier which you select an option for the INS. When I looked at that nothing was selected, so I selected an option and the ladder was right where it was supposed to be. Leaving this here just in case I am not the only old guy who missed it.:doh:
  15. Ever since I updated to 2.5 release, the AV-8B has been missing the Pitch ladder. It is working fine in the 2.5 open beta. I cannot find any way to turn it on. This happens in the instant action Free flight as well as the cold and dark. The INS is in Nav mode so to my knowledge, it should be showing. Am I missing something?
  16. Currently, this only applies to the AV8 module that I can see, but during a MP session, with custom skins for each user selected, the files being in each users folder (CoreMod AV8 files) as well as the hosts, when you look at the other clients aircraft, they are in a default WP skin instead of the custom one, but when each player looks at themselves (F2), they are in their custom skins. Is there a folder that needs to be deleted in Saved games, or elsewhere that would effect this? This has only happened since the conversion from 2.2 to 2.5, and while not a game changer at all, would like to get it taken care of. The custom files do have texture files (Roughmet) but not sure if that has any effect on the visibility.
  17. It appears it was READ Kavete. They are asking for explanation of acronyms and what was actually done I believe.
  18. That works for me, as long as I know the process. Thanks for the help.
  19. Is there a way of you finding out why changes that are included in the update are not included in the changelog? This is two in a row that do not show any updates to the Harrier, yet there are changes for the AV8 in both updates. Other aircraft seem to be included (MI8, A-10c, NS430, in update 4 and F-5E in update 5) but nothing for the harrier even though there have been significant changes in both updates. This didn't use to be the case. Not angry, just trying to figure out what is going on....:music_whistling:
  20. To clarify, does that mean in the changelog or in the update itself?
  21. Resolved (as far as Tx effect). One side has to be on and the other off (in settings). I had both set to on. Once I set one to off, it came alive. I appreciate all the help and sorry to waste your time with something so simple.
  22. A follow-up to this. I uninstalled/reinstalled 1.4.8.0 and now have all of the menu pages for DCS/VR overlay, but still do not hear the audible Tx/Rx tone when pressing Tx key. I did not press the common Tx key (saw your response after I went to work so did not get opportunity to try that), but had the Tx/radio select tied per your suggestion in the video. The green light does illuminate, and in-game, I do get the Trans on the DCS overlay when I key up.
