Initial impressions are REALLY nice! Couple of (inevitable) things... WSO UFC does not seem to work, in cockpit display does not change, nor does the IPad display when in the WSO seat. Exception is the vol rotaries, if pressed they change the preset number, this should be on the white button, slightly above the vol switch, same in the pilot seat. The white button is a press AND rotary, rotary changes the preset, press enters the freq into the system. The volume switches are just that, volume alone, and the bottom left brt rotary simply adjusts the brightness of the in-cockpit display (doesn't look like anything is mapped to it though) Radio 2 decimal is on the Ipad is one too many to the right (ie 266.000 shows as 2660.00). As well a leading "T" shows up, not sure what that is, it MAY be in-game, but I have not seen it before. Menu button does not indicate on the IPad display. The cockpit display changes though, so the actual push buttons SEEM to do what they are supposed to, it just does not display on the IPad As I find stuff, I'll let you know, but this is a clear game-changer!

Trying it out right now

For the A-10C only, I cannot bind any control from my Warthog throttle or joystick to any HOTAS mic sw button with VOIP HOTAS Mic SW Up, Down, Forward, Back, Press). It is available on the CII (and binds to the mic sw as expected), but not the C. I can bind it to my T16000, but not to the throttle, where I need it. It USED to work prior to the latest update, for both the C and CII. Anyone else have this issue?

The lineup for this starts right behind me

Any update on the F-15E?

Anyone figure out the F-15 kneeboard position yet? After the last patch (and me moving my monitors around a bit) the kneeboard position mod (viewporthandling_resize.lua) causes the F-15 to CTD (at least it does for me). Occasionally, it just causes no airframe to render (cockpit etc). Any ideas? Update: I figured out how to resize the kneeboard, it is in the F-15E\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\device\declare_kneeboard_device.lua file. Change the sw and sh values (I changed them to 0.100 each), at least it made the kneeboard so I can see it properly without having to drag the corners, but it still has to be dialled in for my setup. The next part is a bit more complex, but I'm working on it... In the F-15E\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\pages\1.lua file is the script for the actual writing of the info found on the first page of the kneeboard. Problem is when you resize the kneeboard as above, the writing does not resize with it Ends up misaligned, so not very useful. Apparently, each column and row have to also be resized, clearly a PITA. The drag-to-resize works, but there has to be a way of making the F-15 kneeboard appear at the size and position the pilot wants WITHOUT having to drag and resize. More work needed!

I got it to work, renamed the 2 inner ones (the outers are already named). Not sure if it will pass integrity, but at least I got it to work. The pilot displays are called LEFT_MFCD, RIGHT_MFCD and CENTER_MFCD. For the WSO displays, the files you need to edit to do this are in the F-15E\Cockpit\Bake\MFDG folder, they are Bake_RCLI_init.lua and Bake_RCRI_init.lua. Look for the Tryfindviewport line in each (both files are really small) and where it says "LEFT_MFCD" and "RIGHT_MFCD" add "WSO" so they look like "WSO_LEFT_MFCD" and "WSO_RIGHT_MFCD". Then in your monitor config file, add the following lines (obviously put your own x, y, width etc values, the ones below are for my particular setup, I run 4 dedicated 800x600 mfd monitors): OUTER_LEFT_MFCD = -- MFD 3 F-15 WSO { x = 90; y = 5; width = 600; height = 600; aspect = 600/600 } OUTER_RIGHT_MFCD = -- MFD 4 F-15 WSO { x = 1190; y = 5; width = 600; height = 600; aspect = 600/600 } WSO_LEFT_MFCD = -- MFD 1 F-15 WSO { x = 100; y = 600; width = 600; height = 600; aspect = 600/600 } WSO_RIGHT_MFCD = -- MFD 2 F-15 WSO { x = 1210; y = 600; width = 600; height = 600; aspect = 600/600 }

I had a pretty good look, RAZBAM kind of goes their own way on stuff like this. What I found points to the generic viewport.handling lua in the aircraft/common folder, which doesn't really help. I have managed to get the displays to sort of work, but there is still a mismatch between the back and front end. What I would like is for the pilot's center_mfcd to display... you guessed it, in one of the middle mfds. What was happening, because the left_mfcd is called the same in the front and back end, both were displaying on the far left mfd when in the WSO seat, with nothing displayed on the inner left mfd. There needs to be a different name for the WSO left MFCD. The OUTER_LEFT_MFCD works, as does the OUTER_RIGHT_MFCD, and they display properly. It is the 2 inner displays that are problematic. In a nutshell, the WSO LEFT_MFCD needs to display on a different monitor than the pilot's LEFT_MFCD. As far as I can tell, the F-15 is not that advanced yet, hopefully it will come More testing methinks

Any update on this? How do we put a particular screen onto a particular MFD in the WSO seat? The Left_MFCD when in the WSO seat goes onto the wrong exported MFD, since it is called the same in both the front and back end. I got the 2 colour MFCDs to display properly (OUTER_LEFT_MFCD and OUTER_RIGHT_MFCD) but the LEFT_MFCD will not display on the monitor I want it to, which is the CENTER_MFCD is I am in the pilot seat (ie I want the inner left WSO mfd to display on the same monitor that the CENTER_MFCD in the pilot seat displays upon. Putting a function call doesn't work for this, as the LEFT_MFCD and RIGHT_MFCD are called the same no matter if the pilot or WSO seat is in use. Need a seperate call for the WSO seat. Anyone have any ideas?

Here is what I found: I resize my kneeboard, using OVGME due to the position of my MFD monitors (below the main screen). Normally, the kneeboard for all aircraft show up half on the MFD and half on the main screen, which is unuseable. I uses OVGME to move and resize the kneeboard so it shows properly. Apparently, the new update did something to the kneeboard for the F-15, as when I disabled OVGME, DCS didn't crash. Unfortunately, that left me with an unuseable kneeboard for all of my aircraft. This I fixed by COMPLETELY REWRITING my monitor config lua file to move the 2 MFDs to a different position, and changing my windows display layout and resolution. MUCH pain, but at least I got it to work.

Each time I attempt to get into the F-15E, DCS crashes. I tried another airframe (F-14B), managed to start as normal. This happened each time I tried the 15 dcs.log-20230728-230459.zip dcs.log-20230728-231027.zip dcs.log-20230728-231239.zip

Earlier aircraft certainly did have buttons for pre-sets. So POGO button 6 means change your radio channel to preset 6. Of course there were also MANY other ways to switch frequencies: Line numbers on a standard COMPLAN (POGO line 216), actual frequencies (POGO 248.2), code names (POGO Freight Train), and MANY others

Just bought the 109K, the ED manual clearly mentions gun pods, MK151/20. Where are they? How does one equip them?

I tried it with the cockpit labels mod disabled, the mirror artifacts are still there, but the radio line was correct.

Could be. I'll give that a try

Both. Also, the ARC-182 Radio Function rotary knob (left hand side of the radio) shows 3 positions CW from where it should be (the white indicator line is well CW of where the actual knob switch is)

With the canopy open, the mirror floats... When the canopy is closed it is in the right place

PM me, I'll try and walk you through the fix

Fixed it. 2 corrupted files: device_init.lua and controlsindicator_page.lua. Went to the backups, now renders correctly.

Did a full repair, still the same. Interesting that the controls don't work either, and its only on the C2

All of my other ac render properly, only the A-10C2 doesn't render the entire fuselage (if I look behind I can see the bombs strapped onto the fuselage, the wings, but nothing where the fuselage should be). As well, none of the controls work, nor does the mouse (it disappears, and nothing can be clicked).

A-10C works as advertised, but no cockpit in the C2. Cleared fxo and metashaders, still no cockpit

Same here, it seems the MFD displays don't refresh

NAILED IT!!!!!!!! I changed the country to Germany, made Germany part of the blue coalition, all of the skins showed up. Merci!!!!!

Hi: Clearly something missing, for not only me but a friend who has the same problem: Created a folder in DCS.openbeta/Liveries/FW-190A8, placed custom livery folder/files in there, it does not show up. Downloaded a livery from the forum, placed it in there, doesn't show up. My friend has the same problem, what am I missing? All I can see is the stock FW-190A8, red 16, without any national markings
