One of the two AAA guns at target Papa is leaning up against the side of a building.

His definitely isn't just a single eye. It doesn't have the offset perspective that one eye would.

I was watching another Varjo Aero user streaming DCS recently, and he was able to stream one unified view rather than separate right and left eyes. I asked him how he did it, and he said that's just the way it's always worked for him. Can I generate a unified view by just changing some settings somewhere?

I recently had to downgrade my Varjo Base to 4.3, because newer versions have broken compatibility with OpenKneeboard. After doing that, I'm not getting the quad view (or the accompanying higher frame rates) with my headset. I've been using Quad-Views-Foveated for a few years now and with versions of Varjo Base older than 4.3. I tried removing QVF and reinstalling it, but that also did not help. How can I figure out why it's not running?

I solved it. Here's the solution for anybody who comes here with the same question.

I figured out a way using VoiceAttack. I'll add it here for anyone searching for an answer. I created a VoiceAttack command when I press the button that has the following body. All of these are under Other > Advanced. It increments the boatSwitch value, then does a mod 3 on it (so the value cycles between 0, 1, and 2), then sends the keyboard command for WHOT, CCD, or BHOT based on the value. null

I don't have a great analog for the A-10C boat switch on my controls, so I was hoping I could fake it using one button that would just cycle between the three settings. The available controls are fore, center, aft, and then "fore <> center" and "center <> aft". Is there a way to do that? Is there maybe an external tool that will remember its current state and cycle through three keyboard presses to the next state? I have VoiceAttack, but didn't see anything stateful like that in it.

After trying a Pimax and Tobii, I went back to my Varjo. When I try to start DCS with it, it runs fine until I load a mission and it crashes. This looks like the relevant section of the log file. I saw another thread with these assertion failures and tried changing the MSAA values as someone suggested there, but it didn't help. The changes I can think of that I've made are: A windows update this week Nvidia update today Installing and then removing the Tobii and Pimax software (I did have to reinstall OpenXR to get DCS to run in VR mode, so I think the Pimax uninstall removed OpenXR) Changing the graphics settings in the game 2024-05-22 06:16:47.853 ERROR SCENERENDERER (5332): Failed assert `depthBuffer.getDims() == dims && depthBuffer.getMSAA() == msaa` at D:\Projects\Buildworker\nevada_testing\build\Projects\render\renderer\Include\rwrappers\inl/FrameBuffer.inl:339 2024-05-22 06:16:47.853 ERROR DX11BACKEND (5332): depth buffer mainDepthBuffer2 (804x784) must be the same size as color targets (1384x1188) 2024-05-22 06:16:47.853 ERROR DX11BACKEND (5332): Failed assert `false && "depth buffer must be the same size as color targets"` at Projects\render\dx11backend_win8\Source\DX11FrameBufferManager.cpp:101 dcs.log

So it sounds like I can't give other ED accounts access to the DCS instances. That means I need to create a new generic ED account that only exists for running servers. And I'll consider using the VNC server I use to administer the server machine to give others access. I'm not too worried about security on the machine. It sits on it's own network where it cannot access anything else, but my DCS machine can access it. It has nothing but DCS on it, and no personal information. So if somebody does eventually take it over, I can just wipe it, reinstall, and restore my server config files and start script.

I have some multiplayer servers running on an old machine. Currently they're running under my ED account. I know I could create a new ED account and give that account information to other people, but it would be easier if I could just give specific people permission to run the server admin UI on my servers. Is that possible, or will I need to create another account?

I created a mission with some JTACs. In the mission editor, I set the JTAC to use WP-Laser to mark the target and to prefer guided bombs. I contacted one on the radio and he gave me a nine line with "no mark" and told me to use a GBU-12. When I dropped it, there was no lasing, because the JTAC didn't turn on a laser. I didn't see a menu option to request he start lasing or smoking the target. How do I get him to do that?

That was it. Thanks. When new maps come out, will that be the only way to install them?

I'm using the latest open beta, and I installed all the map options I saw. Is there a way to verify what maps I have or change/update them?

I set up a dedicated server on a different computer. Almost everything seems to be working. I can administer it from the DCS website under my account, people can connect to it and fly missions, SRS works, etc. But when I upload a mission on the Sinai map, I can't start the mission. The run button is disabled. I paid for the Sinai map, and I enabled all maps when I configured the server. There's a log entry for uploading the mission, but no errors around it. INFO WORLDGENERAL (Main): loading mission from: "C:\DCS\Server0\Missions\simpleSinai.miz" Is there a setting I need to enable to load Sinai missions? If not, is there anything that will tell me why the server won't start a mission?
