Oh. EDIT: Play is the right word for "clampiness" (me and my Finnish-English :D). But yeah you guys understand what i mean. It makes losen mechanical movement, which is not controlled by any mechanism. It plays. And this is after kinda ZERO usage. As mechanical engineer, i can maby even bet that this is there more ore less, by luck in every stick. It is just some appliement / coupling that is not put so accurate everytime in the place, in the factory. Or then just the plastic ball etc, mounting itself. Y-axis has really ZERO play in its movement. It stays in the center even with harder force and does not play / clamp in anywhere, but the x-axis. Now when i thumbled with the play, it even seems to get littlebit bigger. As I said, it is not much, but so much that it even puts the light on. Some times it takes that as a movement sometimes not, but it puts the light on every time, which is kinda weird, as the light is supposed to light with the sensor... I posted a "case" / ticket to Thrustmaster. Lets see if they "back up every users accuracy" as it read in the box

Just bought yesterday a new tm 16000m. It has exactly this same "clamping" (not much maby just 1-2mm on wrist level. it is very little but its there. Have use it like hour, so I really wonder is it with all the sticks more or less. Y-axis does not have it. But it still centers the stick when not adding any pressure to the stick, but the stick clearly "clamps" a littlebit before it snaps to level where it starts the movement on the left (and the movement can be seen in the meter inside the clamp ) Really annoying as the stick is good as hell in all the other ways. But now when I noticed that, not so sure anymore. If somebody knows today how to fix these please tell me. I bet if i go to shop and say that to reseller, he just says, "its cheap stick". Maby i will contact straihgt to TM and ask about this. clearly there is not same thing with any other axis or button or anything. I really hoped that i would find that this is much seen error in the stick as they are about to sell out in Finland, but seems not? It really cant be because of use, as I unpacked it yesterday, and as I said have used it an hour or so after that.

Ok thanks mate! . But what is what I understand that there is couple of different locations / airfields, but i just would like to understand how to read that

Can you please xplain me this: (from bold cheetah mission nro 1 brief. I just would like to undestand what is what...) (F/A-18C in this case..)

Yeah thanks. Seems so. I actually do have to undesignate it from WP designate and then click new point, it just seems to jump last designated target. Which is kinda logical though

Just F-22, Eurofighter, Gripen and "Swedish military assets pack". F-22 has had some tunes, but nothing really on DCS program folders itself. But deleted those and repaired dcs. F-22 enchancemenet mod goes to a2a_missiles.lua (not sure if file name´s correct but no matter here.. just an example). That and few other .lua were modified by f22 enchancement mod. BUT have not tried raven one yet. Maby I will do it tonight. (tried again i Mean). In meantime played trough other campaigs. Raven one actually could now be more of my skill level, when played in meantime 4 hornet campaigns. This gets interesting, while i have new HOTAS (cheap though) in the mail on its way. I have learned everyhing in DCS with 20 years old SAITEK x45, with huge "clunkiness" in the middle. Have to use 10nm long deadzones. There is zero accuracy in current setup. When that new TM comes in mail, goin to be a goddam Maverick! Interestig times..

I have had this from very beginning of DCS during single player. Now with hornet it seems that certain campaign missions get the radio silent. sometimes i recieve and can send em but no sound, some times it recieves normally, but when im sending something like "focus1-1 ennfield 1-1 requesting bogey dope" etc, sound goes like "Foc...->silence" Sometimes the radio goes TOTALLY silent, no recieved messages, no sent messages (no its not about hornets channels, i know how them work) This happens more or less with every aircraft. I have SRS installed, but not in use at the moment, and it really seems it does not matter. SOMETHING (dunno what) seems to trigger the mentioned radio bugs, more ore less everytime in certain missions, and it really is goddam annoying. With hornet I have experienced this most, could it be those missions where there is mission made radio speech but still have to change channels to AAR or something, IMO these mission sometimes trigger that. Where there is mission made radio stuff and still made so that you have to change channels... ? Is it somehow mission related even, or do i just feel so? With f-15 i had also a lot of this in single player. Seems that latest update somehow changed the radio, that now bug triggers more than before, but not so much that I could be really certain that if the update messed it around more. Does anyobody has any clue still what is this, or can it be rounded somehow. Now if it triggers for me i have to restart dcs and even restart the computer Very weird stuff. (the bugs you cannot logically explain). It is only sometimes, but usually it ruins the whole mission when it happens, and that is still something that NEVER should happen if not taken bullets to radio systems...

Again have to say. DCS shows its best on its supportive forum ppl. Like: Me 8 hours ago ""#"#%"#%"% my logbook is broken #%%"#% everything is broken, i will sell my hotas and burn my computer" 8 hours later: "HIIIGHWAAAY TO DA DANGER ZONE!!!!"

This was actually solved for me by your other fix I did not first notice thear was different thread about that my campaign inactive campaings / "doubleslash in code"- error. I took your fix in there, and it was just what I needed. Today realized that I just havent played custom campaings for a while, so hadnt notice that there even was this kind of bug in latest (or any) version. (the my campaign "inactive" bug, which also broke my end mission button). Now they both work Thanks. EDIT: to be clear. Solution for me was that me_campaign.lua, that you had made for that other thread for fix. Prob really seemed only for me to be that my campaign inactive bug...

Tested the fix. It works. Thaks alot @BuzzLine !

About this came a question to my mind: With LITENING: When wptdesignate the pod-> move around to look target -> point track-> I want to jump of from point track for some reason -> pod slews / goes always back to waypoint designated first. Is there a way that pod would not do that?

Same thing here. Was about to have a heart attack when couple of hundered custom campaing missions "inactive" / done "0", on every campaing. Then clicking other mods -> they are ok-> back to my campaigns seems ok but cant end em. But I dont mind as long as IF update logbook works. BUT I really pray that my logbook made with this false code works also when this is fixed!? (i just mean do i even dare to play em )

Same bug here. Triggered today (NOT SURE!, about this further..). I shot train.. Dunno if was still the locomotive. Weirdly when I go dcs main menu -> campaings -> my campaigns (where it goes automatically first) it does not show any progress BUT when i click some of airplanes to see their "own" campaings progress is shown and THEN back to -> my campaings -> it shows progress but the end mission button does not work. What is weird that somehow IF i go straight to that non progressed my campaings and start mission, the end mission button works. How is this even possible? Is there something wrong in my logbook.lua? Though it did not help with Backups either. Even 6 months old did not help on it. I have played for a couple of weeks for F/A 18´s own campaigns so dunno when this has triggered, but did not have problems couple of weeks ago. If I create new user, no probs (but no progress ofc either :P). That me_logbook.lua fix did not help for me.

Killed just locomotive. Triggered. When i go dcs main menu -> campaing -> my campaings -> it does not show the progress BUT if i click some of my airplane mods (to see their own campaigns) progress is shown and weirdly THEN -> my campaigns -> progress shows. BUT cant end any mission now,

Why cant I change Harpoons mode? Nothing happens when pushing the "mode" button

Since almost played the persian lion, you bet i will buy the #2 also These campaigns are good for my skill lvl. It is nice that there is a lot of AG content. One can shoot AMRAAMS with F-15C enough in one year... ^__^ dogfighting / BVR skills ofc different thing, but i think AG stuff makes you really USE the F/A-18´s systems.

Do you mean like full on tuned f22A with huge myriad of weapons, or swedish volvo with gatling on the roof - kinda stuff? ;D "wasnt me". KK maby i´ll try without my f22a, gripen, eurofighter and hercules. If something of those unofficials can do something for the mission, i bet it could be the F22A Nightstorm "mod enchancement mod" (it edits some missile files etc). OR could it have something to do with "western RWR symbology"? That could mess up some of IFF stuff, could be logical. But yeah thank you for super (<333) customer service. As I said earlier, dont know any other game, where true maker of campaign takes and gives straight "feedback". BTW Rise of Persian lion is very nice, now on the chopper mission... BTW the tanking could be more or less optional in some of missions (as they are but not in this. I just tanked my hornet full before RTB from 7200 fuel left.. ) (OK one could really break far from those f-4´s, if want to play for sure. Persian Lion gives great tour of well Persian feeling, with those "there is no horizon" sunsets. It is nice and also somehow "weird" (i an good way) how different "feeling"/ "athmoshpere" there is after playing year of caucasus map, daily. When you feel totally overwhelmed, the DCS is giving it´s best!

BTW @Badger633Do you have other campaigns / missions? (than SH and its versions and This Pers. Lion series? Totally would recommend these for my friends playing dcs. Yesterday one friend that doesnt play computer at all, flied the Maverick IR / Laser Jtac mission, and he was about to <profanity> his pants from joy...

Ok I will try it today. I play open-beta standalone version. No stress dude, it is NICE campaign. I´m really sorry to hear, and understand that it is not fun when your work is thumbled by some new code (or whatever it is). I have played like A LOT of free campaigns also, and it very usual that older ones have triggers etc so totally "exploded" that many times I find myself basically building whole trigger system from start. But hey no stress. It is still nice campaing, and still I can play it in my way and fly back to carrier. Maby just edit the training part out from it? OR the bad guys suddenly coming before the cutoff is even made..? This is just an idea, and just curious that could it be possible for you to just "cut the mission" littlebit? But still Skip button works. Thanks for great service. Never played a game, where mission creator comes in open discussion with me, when havin problems in the game. But maby I will try it, and report back if it works now, as today dcs upgraded itself (dunno was it major patch, havent looked that far yet.. Just noticed it started loading 5 gigs). Thank you

Just bought it. I actually have now bought in last 3 months alot of mods, after year of fc3 aircrafts. F/A-18C, Persian Map, Supercarrier mod and just bought also The Rise of Persian Lion ("1") and Combined Arms.. It is very nice that ED now sells those like -70% was couple of days in steam etc. It is kinda logical when some ppl have played DCS since launch. OFC for them collecting mods year by year, while playing DCS, but when I started year ago, I had already desided to aim for Hornet trough FC3 aircrafts (Basically just because hornet is in use in my homeland, Finland, and wanted the most multirole one..) But then soon I started to notice that "shiit I need like new map, supercarrier mod, combined arms, the plane itself, just to play with couple of friend´s missions .. Gets pricy bought once. So now its nice for ED to lower prices , it helps A LOT new players like me, who still wants to play DCS with dedication. (I have army background so want to do things "my way". Well now I got those. Next is time to get track IR from post office (ooh yes i have played YEAR, all FC3 planes campaigns, and goddam lot of other campaigns, mostly SP, some MP. Then time to buy also a new HOTAS, as I play with ORIGINAL first version of saitek x45. Its literally 20 years or something old. But still works. It is just about to break thoug, and ofc theres "clap" in controls, and as i mentioned, have to use huge deadzones. Buttons actually in saitek x45 is nice collection, but they are crappy and "plastic like" as hell. Think I first buy some cheaper new hotas, before going into virpil / wingwing stuff. Many players, including Growling Sidewinder etc. have said that one should buy TM 16000m, which is yes cheap and plastic like also, but the mechanics in the stick is same that in TM warthog (just the bottom of the stick, thoug put in plastic cover. Or that atleast is what i have read and heard. It felt nice as warthog when tested it in store. Pedals are crappy and small, but still the whole pack is here in finland like 199 euros (~180 dollars) (HOTAS + pedals). Still it would be a HUGE upgrade to flying and controls itself. Atleast what comes to accuracy. And it is kinda clear ofc when they are 20 years newer. I just need to tune the TM 16000m ´s throttle, and put real roller bearings to the rails it is movin on. Thanks alot for tips. As I said I´m kinda new to DCS, and every social contact in here matters.

Actually, now that I´ve heard that its yours, I think that I will buy it next week...

Ok. Thanks. I was about to totally lose it, that am I that crap. Always pleasure to see that ppl are strugling with same problem. Yeah as me also, Smoke does the cutoff, but flies about 50 miles, and seems that he is called "turn immediatly south jadajada" (he flies to no-go zone...?). But anyways, same problem here as ppl here in topic. Smoke goes just on route? Then he turns back at me, no tapes on no anythig, at weird 1000ft altitude. Anyway, this relieved my stress about this. "Am I that bad" kinda thing. Have flown alot SP campaigns older and newer, and more ore less everyone of em contains some trigger errors at some point of their lifetime. Still very nice to see that this really is problem with mission / ED itself, not me. Was very weird to look youtube content makers playing this same mission, and just circling around and calling commands. Setting the radar and pewpew. It is weird how much it keeps haunting if cant pass the mission same way, no matter what (while not knowing if there is a bug ofc..) Thanks alot baltic dragon for answering for prob!

Yeah I thought that, because I made mission 1 again, it works perfectly, but there ofc I´m the wingman and thats a dogfight. And I have even wrong mission # in topic, it is ofc mission 2 not 3. But yeah it seems to be somehow broken, cause no wingman makes the cutoff, but he flies weirdly to zone where he is noticed "turn south immediatly jadajada", never the "tapes on" etc. as I see in youtube videos of that mission. Basically I just orbit around waypoint 4, and wait for wingman. But he just flies about 50 miles, (after he is noticed to turn (i assume this does not belong to the misison??) then weird turn back from wingman towards me, then back then towards his course and the back again towards me at 1000ft~ height ASL. But so do I understand right, that this mission does not work right now? And thank you.

Thank you. It seems that there is just unlimited fuel put on ... But does not matter anyway, anymore. I mastered the refueling, (or hammered would be better word for it... )couple of times, cause of that mission, and now I can do it kinda anywhere, while tanked in 30kn crosswind in campaign. It was good afterall. I have long time kinda been hiding to train AAR. But now it goes ! thanks anyway. Now strugling with Raven One campaign mission 2. Dont have a goddam clue what im supposed to do

Hi! Have now learned Hornet for 2 months, and well it goes. Bought raven one campaign, and now stuck in mission 3 just not knowing what to do, or i get it, but... (the flying itself is not a problem for me, HN works great!), but the terms are new for me totally in brief. Watched videos from youtube. What mens cutoff? How the sim mode works? Do i need to put master arm on after pushing the sim button, while master arm still on? But mostly whatta heck i am supposed to do? Wingman cuts off towards waypoint 5, and I am supposed to orbit around wp4? The wingman never says "fights on" ore anything after "cuttoff" and pushing away from me. I cirlce around wp4 but NOTHING happens. Wingman just flies south then home. WHAT am I doing wrong? Sry for many questions, but the mission is just full thingamobs, little, but still unknown to me. That would not be a problem, if i just could find even tutorials for sim mode.. ? Do i get it right master arm off->sim from stores screen->master arm on (supposed?). Does the sim mode work for anyone who puts it on? I mean does my wingman need to do something, before it even registers the sim shots? So can I just please have simple answers for those questions.. What the hell am i supposed to do, and how that sim mode works, and why my wingman just flies off and comes back but not fight on or when i try to shoot him with sim mode on (if i do it correctly even.. ) nothing happens. How does this thing work?
