Any issue with the setup or any advicxe on setting it up? I've seen a lot of older posts on here about getting started but it looks like a lot of issues have been ironed out. Was it mostly plug and play? And what lighthouses do you use? Cheers, Dr Spankle

Order placed - thanks for all the help guys. I appreciate it as the PC tech stuff isn't my strong suit. That said, I fly contract CAS these days providing training and currency for JTACs on the ground, so if I can help anyone out with that area of DCS just hit me up. Dr Spankle

Like I said - clearly there are market forces at play. But it's still a great jet.

The viper is the most successful selling multi-role combat aircraft in history. Obviously there are a lot of market forces at play here, but it didn’t become that because it’s difficult to use … Dr Spankle

Awesome - do you know which base stations it is on Amazon by any chance? Dr Spankle

OK - so it has taken a while to get the money together but I still have some questions (and my kidneys): Base stations (Lighthouses). Varjo don't seem to sell any on their website (or possibly I'm being a biff). Which ones and how many do I need? Hand controllers. Do I need any? I never use the ones I have for the Reverb - do I need some for the setup? I'd rather not buy some just to accomplish that. Accesories. When I go through the process of placing the headset in my cart it asks if I want a power supply (at extra cost). I presume it comes with one ... Or do I need to buy everything individually including this, face cushions, 5m power cable etc ...? Black friday tomorrow with 10% off, so your timely replies oh great forum elders would be greatly appreciated. Dr Spankle

Rather than creating a new SP, isn't it possible to create a Mark Point with the Tgp/Helmet/HUD, then hit M-Sel to make it the active SP. Dr Spankle

Thanks mate - I'll give it a try. Dr Spankle

I now no longer see any of the 4YA servers in the multiplayter list - does anyone have an idea as to why this has happened? Cheers, Dr Spankle

It would be great if we could see our attitude information whilst looking at the F10 map, either as a basic, semi-transparent artificial horizon overlay, or as an inset in the corner. Cheers, Dr Spankle

That's what I do, but as this is the Wishlist section and it's nearly Christmas ...

Can we change the order that this is carried out to rearming before refuelling? That way Mavericks can be timing out whilst the fuelling takes place. Cheers, Dr Spankle

Once I go to Esc, Adjust Controls, they work again and continue to do so throughout the game. It's only ever when I first appear in the jet. Dr Spankle

Nice one thanks. Dr Spankle

I have no idea how to do this unfortunately, and the situation doesn't arise every time I'm on, so that will be tricky. I'll do my best ... Dr Spankle

I had to lower the pre-load radius to cure it. Hope that helps. Dr Spankle

Try lowering your pre-load radius. That worked for me. Hope it helps, Dr Spankle

I just sat at Krasnodar in the 4YA OB EU server and at least 6 NASAMS hit a hostile in the overhead as I R'Rd. All exploded but had no effect on the aircraft at all. Dr Spankle

Dear all, Thank you so much for the help - this forum really is full of people willing to help dullards like me. Would you believe that somewhere along the line my keyboard defaulted to Eng US (I'm in the UK), which moved a couple of very important buttons! I have now deleted that as an option so it can't somehow default back again, and all is good! Phew. Thanks again, Dr Spankle

Yeah happy with that thanks Tom - I just changed this to see if I can get it to work at all, which I can't! The only thing I changed is the PC hardware which I've upgraded. I've set up the same VR headset, same controllers, same keybinds and the same version of DCS (the latest OB). Just a couple of days ago with Easy Comms selected I could play happily in the 4YA servers. When I got the Weasels Over Syria campaign I had to uncheck Easy Comms, but could still play as before in the 4YA servers with regards to bringing up the comms menu for Rearm/Refuel etc. Now, no matter if I chech Easy Comms or not I can't bring up the menu. WTF am I doing wrong?! Dr Spankle

nullHere's my settings:null nullHelp me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope ...

The issue is on the ground when I try to Rearm/Refuel in MP servers. As I couldn't do this I didn't bother getting airborne, so don't know if it's present in the air too. I have easy radio unchecked for the Viper Weasels campaign, and my HOTAS bind for \ still brought up the comms menu on my last pc (yesterday). Not sure what I'm doing wrong ... Dr Spankle

I've just reinstalled 2.9 OB on a brand new PC and, having installed all my maps and the Viper, loaded my key bindings, I can't get the comms menu to open! The keybind shows '\' and all the other HOTAS binds work fine. Help! Dr Spankle

Yeah I get 6MB/s on a hardwired connection to the router, even though my internet test gets 70+. Dr Spankle

I'll ammend this to say that this happens on MP servers but not in a campaign. Hope that helps in some way! Dr Spankle
