Thanks for the comments everyone! Sounds like the F-4 might be a good one for me.

I do, bought it along time ago, enjoyed flying it, managed to land some bombs on targets despite the manual methods needed.

Thanks very much, that's what I was thinking. I'll probably give this a go while it's still on sale through Steam and then transfer the license over. I definitely have a soft spot for the F-4...I saw that one of the included liveries is the same one as a model I assembled as a kid...all good memories.

Hello, I was hoping someone could give me insights into how challenging of a module this is for someone like me who is a more casual DCS user (as casual as one can be in DCS). I normally find the systems complexity of more modern aircraft a lot to remember and really become proficient at using...I'm wondering if the F-4 is a bit easier in this regard given it's older and I assume more simplistic systems? As an example I find the F-14 easier to remember how to fly / kill stuff as opposed to the F-16 and F-18, where it seems like if I don't fly frequently I quickly forgot how to manage the more complex avionics, weapons systems etc. Thanks for any insights.

Looks like a I stretched out the #1 wire a little bit :) At least I stayed on the deck! This was the end of my first fully successful mission in DCS...I'm loving the Tomcat!

Sorry if I’m missing something obvious, but I’ve previously flown a mission named Alert 5 or something along those lines where there are attack aircraft inbound toward the fleet and my job is to intercept. I was never able to complete this due to CTD’s but with today’s patch I wanted to try again. However I can’t seem to find it. Am i going a bit crazy or has it been removed? I think it may have been in instant action. Thanks Dave

Ditto.

Hello, I had a similar issue that I was able to figure out: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=180073

Hello, just a note that I have solved this issue. I had checked off game avionics in the options, so it was using the game controller config rather than sim, which I hadn't put any work into configuring. Once I turned off game avionics all is well now.

It would be great if we could assign controls not only to a button when pushed, but also when released. For those familiar with FSUIPC used in FSX/P3D it provides this functionality and makes it much easier to map controls to three position toggle switches.

I've attached my controls output here in case that might be helpful. F5 Sim Controls.zip

I tried rolling back to the last version, 1.5.5.60503 Update 4, and the issue persists so it's not just an issue of the latest update. In any mode other than training, it's as if I have conflicting axis controls, my throttles make my rudder move (as well as throttle), my rudder makes the rudder and control stick move etc...but in my control settings there is nothing conflicting, plus it's the same control profile I use in training mode which works fine. If I can figure out what DCS is doing different for controls in training mode versus everything else that should help figure out what's going on here, any thoughts? It's the same control profile, two very different results depending on game mode. I'm open to any shot in the dark at this point. Thanks

Hello, after the most recent update to DCS World version 1.5.5.60565, the buttons/switches on my Thurstmaster Warthog HOTAS and keyboard commands no longer function in Instant Action, Create Fast Mission or Campaign modes with two of the DLC aircraft, the F-5 and the Mirage. They work fine with the A-10C and the Huey. Also, in the aircraft/game modes where the buttons/key commands do not work, the rudder pedals move when the throttle is advanced. This does not happen in training mode with any aircraft or with the A-10C or Huey under any circumstances. I have tried the following to fix the issue: - confirmed control assignments, buttons are assigned and there is no conflict between my rudder pedals and my throttle axes. - deleted the input folder at C:\Users\Me\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input - Repair DCS World - Uninstall and re-install DCS World None of this has solved the issue. Thanks for any help.

Hello, I don't seem to be able to use the F8 Target View. When I press the button nothing happens, even if I have a target locked up and a missle inbound (either A/A or A/G with a Maverick). Is there something else I'm supposed to do? Am I misinterpreting the function that the F8 view provides? Thanks
