Hi Guys Since the last update, I have noticed that the Su-25T HUD is replicated when looking right or left when flying in VR. I'm using the Bigscreen Beyond so I haven't tested it on any other VR headset. Can anyone else confirm this, or otherwise? Thanks

Sorted ... So, ignoring the file names in the following image (it's just a generic image), right click on "TheWay Setup 2.5.0.exe" and select Properties/Security/Advanced. At the bottom of the resulting window there is a message that states, "This file came from another computer and might be blocked ..." Click "Unblock" and the installer will run just fine.

Hi Guys I uninstalled the previous version of TheWay with a view to upgrading to version 2.5.0. Yes, I know I didn't have to uninstall the earlier version, but I read that bit after I'd uninstalled it. However, I followed the instructions for the new version and clicked on the extracted installer file. I get the Windows wheel of death for a couple of seconds and then nothing! The installer will not run. I had this same issue with the old version and, for the life of me, I can't remember how I installed it. I tried running TheWay Setup 2.5.0.exe from the command prompt but is it just opens TheWayV250 folder. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Just a thought ... I have my radio buttons bound to "FR22 Push-to-talk" and "FR24 Push-to-talk". When I'm on the ground at Kutaisi, the FR22 radio works fine.

I can't get Beslan to talk to me on the radio. The FR24 is set to NORM + LARM. The FR22 is set to channel 21 on the right knob and C2 on the channel selector (270 MHz AM) No joy! I set the frequency to 270 MHz AM on the manual selector and pressed the minus symbol on the FR22 panel. I tried the manual selector in both AM and FM just in case the switch was reversed. I also tried the FR22 in A/G, B and C/F. Beslan is in the same coalition as me. BESLAN! PLEASE TALK TO ME! I'm just calling inbound so the runway lights come on. Any ideas. BTW - sorry if this has been brought up before. I searched but I couldn't find anything.

@MYSE1234 I ran the mission again and found the following: Reading back your initial post, it wasn't clear if I should initiate the data cartridge using the code 9099 and then enter the airfield code (90xx), 9014 in my case, or just initiate the data cartridge using the airfield code. I can confirm that the former works just fine ... initiate the data cartridge using the code 9099 (this sets waypoints etc. for the mission) and then enter the airfield code again for LS (this sets the departure airfield). Thanks MYSE1234, your solution works fine. Regards

Hi MYSE1234 Many thanks. I only use the "takeoff from ground" option when I use the "stopGaps standalone.lua" It's a requirement of the lua file. From your second option using coordinates, I assume I am setting the takeoff direction as if I was taking off from road runway? Many thanks

I have removed the MODS from the attached mission but I get the same issue. AJS 37 Flight Training test.miz

I have a mission taking off from Kutaisi on runway 07. The reciprical heading is 25 and this is usually the heading the computer is set to when entering 9099. When I input 9099 and click on LS/SKU, LS on the indicator jumps to B0 and the heading flashes between 4210 and 4288. I am unable to reset LS to the correct runway heading (0740) as LS is no longer an option, but I can change L1 between 0250 and the recipical heading 0740. I have some MODS in th emission file ...

Thanks Flappie. That's strange because I used to be able to see the laser track via the TGP as it helped me locate smaller targets such as Shilkas. Anyway, if I interpret your response correctly, my mission is working as expected - the tagets are designated by the JTAC. Thanks again.

Hi guys I have a mission for the A-10C that includes a CTLD JTAC called Hawkeye1 (ctld.JTACAutoLase('Hawkeye1', 1688, false,"all"), and it has been working fine, until the recent updates. The JTAC designates the targets just fine, but now there is no lase line in the TGP. Any ideas, about the missing lase line? Many thanks Nial A-10C & FA-18C JTAC Mission - Sochi-Adler.miz

Hi guys I have a mission for the A-10C that includes a CTLD JTAC called Hawkeye1 (ctld.JTACAutoLase('Hawkeye1', 1688, false,"all"), and it has been working fine, until the recent updates. The JTAC designates the targets just fine, but now there is no lase line in the TGP. Also, previously, I just ran the CTLD.lui in the script editor and it worked fine. Now I get a messag etelling me that CTLD-i18n.lui has not been loaded. I have now loaded CTLD-i18n.lua before CTLD.lua and the message doesn't appear! Not sure what that's about! Any ideas, about the missing lase line in particular? Many thanks Nial A-10C & FA-18C JTAC Mission - Sochi-Adler.miz

Hi Guys Thanks. I delete the folders whenever I update so I'll keep on doing it. I know they get re-written on first run so I can't see that deleting them does any harm.

Right. Thanks. So is that the official answer?

Is it still recommended to delete the FXO and MetaShader2 folders, from the Saved Games folders, following an update? Thanks

Hi Guys How do you zoom when in VR? I use a button but that only zooms to full zoom. I have the button bound to "toggle VR Zoom" in the UI Layer section. I use the slider in 2D and that works fine but I'm unable to bind the slider in VR. I'm looking for a more incremental zoom rather than just jumping to full zoom. Any ideas? Also, what does "toggle VR Spyglass" do? Thanks Nial

Thanks for your reply.

In my missions I like to have things going on around me, for instance, an AI aircraft coming in to land at my active airfield. If I ask for permission to taxi while the AI plane is lining up to land, the AI will go around. I would prefer the AI to continue its landing and I will wait on the taxiway for the AI to be clear of the runway. Thanks Nial

Hi Guys I use AI in my missions as eye candy. I may have an aircraft land at an active airfield and park up. After a while, the AI aircraft vanishes. For example, I have a plane land while I am prepping my aircraft. It parks up, the pilots get out - all good so far. I fly my mission and when I return the AI aircraft has gone. Is there a time limit for this behaviour? Thanks Nial

Thanks guys. Perfecto!

Hi Guys I've come across this since the latest update. DCS crashes every time I try to access the F10 map from the attached mission. I have attached the mission file and the crash log file. HELP! Thanks dcs.log-20241002-202318.zip A-10C & FA-18C JTAC Mission - Sochi-Adler.miz

Hi Guys Thanks for your comments. I'm getting there now. I've been practicing using GPU-38 JDAM's, GBU-16 LGB's and AGM-65F's. I've been using a mix of PP and TOO targeting using both types of targeting pod. I'm going on to moving targets next. Cheers

Yeah, thanks guys. I just wondered if the waypoint marker had and affect on targeting.

Hi Guys I am learning the F/A-18C and I'm getting there slowly. I have a mission where I attack four stationary targets (tanks). Initially I couldnt hit a barn door but I figured I was too far away to accurately select the target. So I have a waypoint over the target, so when I'getting in the vacinity I turn on my targetting pod and slew to target waypoint. The waypoint is right on one of the targets. I'm talking about the small waypoint triangle. Does that have any effect when I'm selecting and locking targets? It seems that one of four JDAMS goes stupid and misses, I can hit three out of the four targets. Thanks
