Hi, yep, that's what I did as well now. It works that way.

Thank you!

Hi ED and everyone else, I'd like to bring an issue to your attention that has been bothering me for a while in other aircraft but since I've recently got the F-4 it has become a real problem since I cannot access all weapons, in the Phantom it concerns the pylons 2 and 8. IMO it's a DCS/ED issue, not Heatblur though. The list is simply too long to be fitted into the popup list that is limited to the 2D rearming window and appears to be not scrollable. As you can see in the screenshot, I can not select any weapon below the Walleye. I post this in the bugs section because I have not found any (scaling) setting that would affect this popup list. If there is, please bear with me and point me to the solution If this is not an issue on my side but an oversight on devs' behalf I'd like to ask for a scroll bar or auto scroll feature if you point the mouse at the last weapon in the list, first weapon respectively when scrolled down. My resolution setting ingame is 3840*2160 so the mirror window fits my screen if I lose focus due to my second screen. GUI Scaling and Message Font Scale are both set to 1 but changing it didn't affect this popup list. I have added screenshots of the list and of my VR settings Thank you! Marc

How do I change the path for DCS installation?
Ephedrin replied to Ephedrin's topic in Payment and Activation
Hi, please disregard. I copied the install folder from C to my DCS SSD, edited the path in the registry and ran the updater from there. This seems to have worked.- 1 reply

Good evening everyone, I had to replace my mainboard which led to a new windows installation on C:. My DCS Open beta installation uses to be on another SSD. I think I might have made a mistake during the initial installation of DCS, missing to change the path for the updater to go and now, whenever I run the DCS installer it places the updater and first folders into "C:Program Files\Eagle Dynamics". I deleted these files and also removed the registry entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics". I even replaced this path with my path into my Z drive. I also deleted the Saved Games folder and a folder in Appdata. Could you please tell me where else this path into C:Programs is stored or where I can change it? Why doesn't the installer ask me where to go? Thank you Marc edit: corrected the english version of the program files path.

From a strategical point it would definitely make sense for ED to hold them back as long as possible and when sales of the F15 are so low that they need to do something bring the AGM and showcase it. With weapons being insourced now it's completely up to them unfortunately. And we know for how long ong they are able to "promise" things.

A10C does not reach Take off speed at Batumi in VR, fine in 2D screen
Ephedrin replied to Bob556a's topic in General Bugs
That was not the point. you need to fly it twice, in this case with a totally different setup, complete waste of time like in sooo many occasions here.. Then the receiving end needs to watch it, just to confirm the gear lever wasn't down... or the axes didn't work. That's completely pointless, just share your assumption and the problem would be solved. -

Ephedrin replied to Bob556a's topic in General Bugs
Maybe a suggestion to make it simpler for everyone: just formulate your assumption and recommend to check the axes instead of asking for tracks which takes a significant amount of time compared to a simple check advice. Keep in mind that 2D and VR requires changes outside the sim, restart, possibly different settings inside the sim etc.. Tracks are helpful if it becomes complicated, but really not if it‘s just to confirm a suspicion ^^ -
Flight controls behaviour after the latest update
Ephedrin replied to RazorbackNL's topic in Bugs and Problems
Also during forward flight it requires a lot of left pedal for the ball to be centered. When you use the cyclic to the left or right you need to press opposite pedal now for the ball to remain centered. Something‘s quite off at the moment. -
REALLY bad design decision and not at all comprehensible or necessary. I have different setups for different aircraft, for example can I use the zoom of most aircraft on the paddle switch of my warthog hotas. But not every aircraft, the Mig21 for example has a brake lever at this position, so I assigned the brakes to the pedal switch and the zoom was on the thumb button depress. Or take the F18, same situation, VR zoom on the thumb button because the pedal is definitely necessary for what it actually is, AP off, G override. But I can't just set the VR zoom to the thumb button in general because this is the force trim button in helicopters. Please, it's fine to put it into UI Layer for those who use the same setup for everything... But bring the selection back individually, it's absolutely not usable for me and I suppose many others how it is now. Oh btw.. not only the SPYGLASS but the VR zoom AT ALL.

work in progress Improved FLIR improvement discussion
Ephedrin replied to gmangnall's topic in Improved FLIR System
huh? everything? If you look through the ATFLIR and see absolutely nothing although there are supposed to be all kind of tanks, APCs and stuff down there that list is going to be long.. Good luck finding an SA-3 P19 Radar even though the sun is burning down on it.. Your best bet is using TV. The FLIR is completely borked, it's not about some models lacking a good heat signature. -

Ephedrin replied to gmangnall's topic in Improved FLIR System
There is plenty of material completely publicly available, even at the Tube, that shows how well 80's and 90's FLIR worked. I found it astonishing to see old tapes of Mike Pietrucha (Starbaby) from his Strike Eagle sorties where he digitalized stone old material and it's a clearer contrast (Not picture, let's be fair lol) than in DCS. In DCS howevery it's impossible to see anything that has its engines off and even if it's driving or fighting it's barely visible above the green background. -
And now it comes and from the looks of it it won‘t be complete again it‘s hilarious.
