I'm just posting to show interest in a "fake_spot_lights.fx" solution. This was my absolute favorite mod. :(

DCS: Iron Eagle is a fan-made 3-mission campaign that puts you in the flight suit of Doug Masters as he attempts to rescue his father who was shot down over enemy territory and is now being held prisoner.

--Larkin Aviation 1.3-- Larkin Aviation is a 17-mission campaign that was created using the audio from Bohemia Interactive's Take On Helicopters. Missions include slingloading cargo, autorotations, VIP transport, aerial tours, more slingloading cargo, fastrope insertions, whale hunting, constantly turning down the radios, vengeance, and more!

Did you do a LANTIRN full action to designate the target? (or whatever the correct lingo for that would be)

Here's a fun 3-mission campaign that's likely only enjoyable if you were a fan of the movie Iron Eagle.

I sure do miss it.

Say, how would one make the TID (or LANTIRN) in Hud-Only Mode (ALT+F1) larger?

There are two Half and Full actions for the RIO, so a total of 4. 2 for the HCU and 2 for the LANTIRN. I believe the answer to OP's question is the "LANTIRN Trigger Full Action"

I keep reading about people leaning and centering their view. You can move the camera with RCtrl+RShift+Numpad 2,4,6,8, and / and * on the number pad to move forward/aft.

Still broken in 2.5.4.28090

Do we have any idea what to expect on the F-14? Should we send Heatblur a muffin basket now or ....

When you do eventually get your VR headset, wear it upside down. Problem solved.

It'd be nice if we could adjust the gamma from inside the cockpit with just a few key binds. Much easier for the VR guys.

DCS has a built-in FPS counter that you can view in VR. I want to say it's RightControl+Pause/Break.

still broken in 2.5.3.22652 ...

You can mimic the behavior by mapping the DDI buttons to your HOTAS (the top row is 1-5, right?) but you'll need to make sure you keep your Stores page open on the same DDI as your keybindings. Also, sometimes the loadout will change which button does what. Sometimes "down" on my hat is bombs, sometimes it's rockets. No biggie, though. Also also, even if it's not realistic, I'd be okay if this feature got added!

Any chance the game window isn't active? Does alt tabbing bring controls back? Try different USB ports?

When the mission is configured for unlimited ammo and the rockets are set to "single," once you fire all your rockets and are replenished with new, the new rockets are changed to "ripple." This was noticed today on 2.5.2.20036. https://streamable.com/dmhu9

I configure my modifiers within the DCS keybind screen. There's a button to set modifiers in the bottom-left corner, I believe.

Perhaps use OvGME. It will take you, oh, 4 seconds after every patch.

This may or may not work for you, but I use a modifier + hat for my autopilot. I hit Mod+Hat Down to set the UFC on AP mode, then mod+hat left/up/right to go through whatever modes you want. Modifier + Hat Down = "UFC Function Selector Pushbutton - A/P" Modifier + Had Left = "UFC Option Select Pushbutton 2" Modifier + Had Up = "UFC Option Select Pushbutton 1" Modifier + Had Right = "UFC Option Select Pushbutton 3"

IIRC, I hit the OSB in the top-right corner, OSB-6 I'd guess, of the HSI page.

Using "Transmit Message" works great for the host, but clients are not hearing the transmission, nor seeing the subtitles even though the radio is properly configured.
