I've bound the selections to L Alt + LCtrl + L Shift + A,S,D,F etc and am using Voice Attack. They all work perfectly excepy Alt Hold!

Yup - that's the one. Really well done.

I can make keybinds to select Strg Select, Hdg Select, Att Hold, and Autopilot Off, but I can't get the Alt Hold to work. There are no key conflicts showing, and I've got the correct switch selection, but for some reason that particular one just won't work. Am I being a biff or is this a bug?

Sorry! The one for the Viper - really good. Dr Spankle

I don't know who made the Red Flag Campaign but it's spot on. I have flown 4 Red Flags and this is very true to how it is - they even nailed the briefing slides. Add to that the realism of 'Showground' telling you you're dead, and warning you to 'check north for the Container' (Area 51/Groom Lake) and you have a very realistic representation of certainly how it was back in my day (not that long ago ...). So well done whomever it was, now please can you do Kosovo, Afghan and Iraq? Dr Spankle

Hi all, I recently installed SRS and I think I got it working ok. I could see I was transmitting and was using the correct freqs etc but there was no-one else on there. On a server that had 36 people playing, SRS showed 3 people connected and no-one answered! Does anyone use this anymore? I noticed that DCS recently introduced an organic VOIP system and have set this up now. Is anyone using it and, if so, what tips and tricks, if any, would you suggest? Lastly, is it worth bothering with Discord now that DCS has an integral VOIP capability? Cheers, Dr Spankle

Exactly what happens to me. Do you know how to provide the track replay for Bignewy? I haven't a clue ...

Hi all, As usual I might be wrong so please be gentle with a computer numpty. I use a Reverb G2 headset and, to get it to work, I had to download some files and copy them into a folder somewhere in DCS. It was all terribly complicated to a dullard like me but it all works wonderfully now without the need for Steam VR (whatever that is). There was a warning that each incremental update of DCS will probably require this process to be repeated as those files will be overwritten or something. Could the next update of DCS have these files installed already, and therefore support WMR and OpenVR without the need to do anything more? Cheers, Dr Spankle

I've just requested the same thing as I use VR, which makes it even more of a pain. Apparently the creation of user steerpoints in the F10 map in MP is on its way, so that should help. Dr Spankle

Or none of them ...

Great stuff - thanks. Is there a rough timeframe? Thanks for your reply. Yeah I understand all of that, I just can't be arsed waiting whilst hordes of A-10s monster the remaining targets! Cheers, Dr Spankle

Would it be possible to either create a waypoint in MP that only applies to your aircraft, or to somehow copy the coords of something from the map to a kneeboard or similar? At the minute I have to write them down, then type them in to the UFC on the Viper, which is a pain in VR. I know it's not the greatest hurdle for me to overcome, but it's just one of those things that would make the best game even better. Cheers, Dr Spankle

Yes to both. Tried it again today and got the same problem. Sorry to be an ass-pain, but how do I do that? Cheers, Dr Spankle

Is there a way we could see the overrall F10 map before we have to select what airbase we fly from in Multiplayer? It's a pain when you end up 150 miles back from the FEBA. It would also help you chose loadouts if you could see the remaining threats. On a related note to the Campaign builders and MP Server hosts - thank you for what you do, but can we have some interdiction-style targets (Bridges, Ports, HQ buildings etc) and maybe some enemy airfields with aircraft on the ramp? Cheers, Dr Spankle

Hi all - thanks for your replies. I have tried switching stuff off and back on again and cycling through the override modes and then back into A-G, and all manner of other things but it always happens with a reload. It's clearly a bug because I have changed nothing from the first sortie (where they fire succsesfully) to the second, where the selection of the threat on the HAD doesn't hand the target to the missile and the designated SAM stays as a white box. Frustratingly, there's no way of knowing this until you're airborne and well into the threat rings. Any ideas ...?

Would it be possible to create Steerpoints using the F10 map in Multiplayer? Also, can we not remove the need to align Mavericks to the T Pod on the Viper? I know it's ultra-realistic but in a campaign it just takes so much time. Cheers, Dr Spankle

When I land and reload, my HARMS will never fire. The initial load always work ok, it's once I've reloaded that I get this bug. Regards, Dr Spankle

Awesome thanks. DCS is the only thing I'm into so, should I ever find a G2 for sale, I'll go for one without the controllers. Appreciate the help, Dr Spankle

This all sounds very promising! I'm going for the G2 as soon as I can find one. Will I be able to play DCS using this method if I go for the Reverb without hand controller option? It's a big saving ... Thanks, Dr Spankle

Thanks mate - all much appreciated. I'll take a look ...

Top stuff folks - I had the same question. So, if I can find a G2, as I understand things I open Steam VR, this runs in the background, and then I launch my standalone stable version of DCS? When do I put on the headset - before doing this? I also understand I can get by without the controllers and use the mouse. Thoughts? Thanks folks, D Spankle

Nice one - thanks mate.

When I slew the TGT pod I now get no Cross Hair or cursor moving on the HSD to show where I'm looking. The TD box still slews in the HUD but not on the HSD. I was using JSOW. Regards, Dr Spankle

How will this update be implemented on the stable version please, and do we have a time line for this? Thanks, Dr Spankle

Ok - I think this is it. If it's 3 x WCMD from Rabat David then that's the last one I flew. The HUD pitch ladders went way off to the left (and I hand't accidentally hit the Drift C/O switch) and the threat rings all disappeared. How do I upload it - it's 38MB? Dr Spankle
