Sry for the delay Draconus, been taking care of elderly parents. No it doesn't help to re-arm bombs. I usually use Qeyes and tell jester where to look, but since this started, neither qeyes or direct control works. If I look straight ahead, the lantirn turns 90 deg to left and looks at the fuselage.

I have same issue, in VR. didn't see this thread when I created mine. have not been able to utilize Lantirn since May 2024 using Quest 2 VR, or it was close to when they combined the stable and Beta, IDK I can't remember.

Thx Bunzy, I searched and didn't even see that thread. Yeah it worked fine since I started the sim back in 2022. Generally I use Q eyeball to search when I'm around 10-15 Miles out then once acquired turn in, or I orbit, acquire, then turn in. Altitude between 10,000 and 12,000. Never had an issue till May. I would use the other one which escapes my mind right now (birthday today, getting old, memory loss lol) the one to the right of Qeye where it puts the circle near the screen and I can move the lantirn with my head then stabilize. I use that one cause Jester doesn't acquire command centers, so I do it manually from the front. Even that doesn't work. The Pod is usually looking at the fuselage for the most part even in QSNO.

I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue, but Since around May 2024 after I think it was the 2.8.5.40170 update, I have had issues in VR with using the lantirn pod on the F14B. The first thing I noticed is when the lantirn pod displays image and jester is given a command such as Qsno, the lantirn turns and points at the aircraft fuselage. Additionally, If I use Qeyes mode to manually move the pod and look around, the pod does not look where I place the red dot, but continues looking either at the fuselage or under the aircraft. Ground stabilize does nothing. If I tell jester to look at a specific area and search for ground targets, the pod is not moved to that location. I never had any problems using the lantirn pod before May 2024. I use a Quest 2 and fly in VR always. Is there anyone else experiencing that or anyone that may have some resolution to this problem? As of May, The lantirn has been totally useless to me. I'd appreciate any help!

I've used nothing but the Oculus Quest 2 since joining DCS. I won't use anything else honestly. I don't experience a lot of the problems others report having whether using VR for DCS or outside of DCS.

The 824th Multi-Gaming clan is recruiting pilots of any skill level. The group has been around since 2012 and was created in honor of the 824th Tank destroyer Battalion which served in Europe during WWII. The group went in-active for a few years due to most of us having work committments, but now we are looking to recruit again. We are looking for anyone from new to experienced, VR or no VR. We are based in the United States on the eastern time zone. If you'd like to join a laid-back group who wants to relax and have some fun together, that is what we are all about. We are looking for members and officers. Members must be at least 18 or older. We are looking for officers who are preferrably veterans, but not mandatory. Airframes: We fly pretty much anything. We are always looking for people to help others in need. Times: The group is flexible. Get on whenever you want. Should there be an event, we will post it in advance. Usual times are after 7pm EST most days. A little about me: I enjoy flying the F14, A10s, F/A-18 hornet, P-51, P-47, AH-64, MI-8, and UH-1. I have other aircraft but mostly fly these in VR. I enjoy helping people in need! To apply, please contact me on Discord or jump on the Discord server! Happy hunting! Commo81 https://discord.gg/JENYGzqdPK

Upon updating to Beta 2.9, Flying the F14 Tomcat, The radar display now gets blurry during head movement in VR. The RWR does also. Did not do this during 2.8, using Oculus Quest 2. The only thing I did was turn on DLSS to test it. Turning it back off has no effect. Any motion blur settings are always off, I double checked them. Also, when viewing your missile, the missile jerks through the air. Again, didn't do that in 2.8. Also, 85% of my AIM-7P sparrows do not track anymore. This is all occurring in multiplayer. I am also running multi-threading. I do not use mods nor do I have them installed so I know that is not an issue. I'm running an MSI RTX 3090 Gaming 24G video card. I know it's not my computer. Other than that, the FPS seems to have increased drastically and a lot of movements even in multiplayer world seem very smooth.

Any solution to this issue? i have a 1 Gig connection, Speedtest reports D/L speeds of over 700Mbps. I'm downloading the Sinai map currently @ 10Mbps. I know it's not on my side. Everytime DCS gets updated I have to wait 50 minutes for it. Any other game or download reaches 700Mbps, but DCS stops at 10.

So when I click on axis assign it does nothing and will not let me assign rudder pedals to rudder or brake pedals to brakes unless I add them as "buttons" in which you can see the slider move when you click on axis tune. If I go to my f14 or anything else I am able to assign pedal axis to brakes and rudder axis to rudder, etc. only the F15s do this where I cannot click axis assign. I've tried reinstalling and even use the beta now and no difference.

I wish I could answer but I cannot get either aircraft off the ground as it will not let me assign axis for either aircraft to my joystick. No problems with other aircraft, just the F15C and E.

It just would be a lot easier for those of us who only do VR. It's great in the F14 not having to bind everything and clicking things just adds to the thrill of being in that aircraft. I can't even fly my F15s because I'm having issues assigning axis for brakes etc with the rudder pedals but that's for a different thread. Would just be nice to click on engine start, throttles, etc instead of keybinding things to controllers with limited buttons.

Any chance that there's going to be an update to be able to click on things in the F15 like you can with the F14? It would be better especially for those of us using VR only who have to try to bind a bunch of controls and can't remember what we binded to where. It's a bit annoying to lift my VR headset up to make sure I'm hitting the right keys on the keyboard. I'm hoping this is something relatively simple to do that could be released within a few months.

I'll give it all a try thanks all. Just flew the apache last night it was like trying to learn it all over again. Pretty rough!

I've been looking around and trying to find a casual squadron to fly with. I primarily fly an F14, but have other aircraft like the F15, AH-64. I spend 95% of my time in the F14 though. Looking for a group that flies casually and is willing to accept people that are not playing for competitive reasons. I have discord.

I did that. I just re-checked them tonight and modified them a bit more. Yes, I have super carrier. I try to make small corrections then when I think I might get it, the tanker decides to turn because the pilot hates me lol and it throws me all off. Check out the video of me....for better amusement. (I'm a stupid noob!) https://youtu.be/K4StA_fTO0I There is nothing for me to place on a reference onto the tanker and that's what's making it frustrating. I wish there was a key command to just automatically enter into autopilot to refuel. I have the F15's but I'm having issues setting up my controls. I am trying to keep things semi-similar to the F14 but now need to add engine start somewhere, etc since it's not clickable like on the F14 in VR mode. I have issues remembering certain things and when things are clickable in the aircraft I can do that, but have a really hard time remembering what my bindings are on my joystick. Otherwise I would try the F15 or other aircraft at refuelling.

Thank you. I'll give it a try. I'm just an every day gamer so I bought the t.flight hotas one at the time as it was affordable and it works. I don't buy the cheapeast stuff but at the same time don't feel the need to spend a million dollars, I only do that on my boat to buy toys to take people tubing and fishing lol. I'll have to set up a mission for strictly AAR. Like I said, I usually use unlimited fuel, but it would be nice to have an idea how much fuel my wingman has, etc.

Sry for the delay I work too much and play too little.....The F14 is the first aircraft I have tried refuelling on DCS. I'm not a hardcore player, just using T.flight hotas one and thrustmaster tfrp rudders. It would be nice to actually fly with someone for some coaching on it but can never find anyone. I can fly and hold my own but can't re-fuel to save my life. I don't use bomb mode as I feel that high altitude requires more lift since there's thinner air, so I prefer wings in the full out position. I can get my speed ok but after a few minutes of trying to inch it in there, I start doing that thing where I over-steer and then I may try a second time or just flat out give up and run a mission. If someone's willing to fly with me that would be great as it's pretty frustrating so I just use unlimited fuel at this point.

Can someone please create an AI-based aerial re-fueling tutorial? I fly the F14 and I've tried numerous times to re-fuel and have no success. I've watched a dozen youtube videos and well that doesn't help either. It's becoming quite frustrating to where I just enable unlimited fuel in my settings. It would be nice to have a step-by-step tutorial where Jester guides you through approach and connecting to the basket. When I played Janes USAF years ago the personnel on the tanker would call out your speed and tell you 5 deg right or left etc and you'd generally be able to get refueled. All I hear from Jester is "a little left" or "right." Well how much is a little? I'm trying to find a fixed point on the tanker so I don't look at the basket. Right when you think you're going to connect the tanker makes a turn every time. furthermore I can't even find a group to join to get help.

It was the air to Both engine setting. IDK why 2 weeks ago it was fine then suddenly it decided to shut off in the campaigns. Everything was working fine up until 2 weeks ago so IDK if there was a patch and something changed but yes I have to make sure the air source is selected now. Odd. That's the only thing that has changed. I mean...I knew about manually setting ammo counter but everything else was fine then it just stopped firing. Gremlins or OE? IDK. Thank you for the assistance!

How do I do that? I will check the next time I get on it. That COULD be the issue but why would this happen in campaign modes only and not missions or free flight?

Yes, I checked in mission planner it says that ammo is set to 100% HEI ammo. I did check that.

I accidentally posted elsewhere but I am having an issue firing the cannon on the F14. Everything was fine approx. 2 weeks ago, but now, and it seems limited to campaigns, when I get into a dogfight and try to fire my cannon, nothing happens. When I purchased the supercarrier I found that I had to manually set my ammo counter so that's not the issue. If I do free flight or missions, the cannon works when I depress the trigger. This seems limited to any campaign whether it be the ones that come with the f14 or the "fear the bones" campaign I purchased. I've checked my bindings and well that's not the issue considering it works elsewhere and is limited to campaign only. Is there a known issue since last patch with this?

I have a similar issue in the F14. 2 Weeks ago I could fire my cannon in air-air mode when dogfighting. Now the cannon will not fire, however if I am in air-ground mode, the cannon fires. I have not changed any settings and verified my cannon is still on my trigger on my thrustmaster t-flight hotas one. Was there an update the past few weeks? Yes master arm is on and my cannon counter reads correct.

So I bought the "Fear the Bones Campaign" and I'm having some issues with it. Everytime I run it my F14 has 0 ammo for guns. Even if I go into mission planner before beginning and ensuring gun ammo is at 100% I still have 0 ammo during the flight. Is this a bug and how does one fix it? Also, It doesn't give me the option in mission 5 to load Mavericks or A/G missiles or even harpoons to shoot a ship. I'm a bit confused. Does the F14 not have the ability in this campaign to carry them?

Same. Just tried.
