Found it, the maverick was on VIS it needs to be on Pre or Bor for Sp and Cz to be available

I was so done with waiting.. 8 minutes from clicking Fly in the menu! Started repair option, that took long. I thought OK fk it, nuclear option. I have a 1Gbit internet connection fortunately. Uninstall DCS, removed EVERYTHING. ok backed up some missions. should've backedup campaign progress (1 campaign, 3missions), forgot it, doesn't matter fun to do them again. Clean install, download installer from website (open.beta is no more I noticed). Installed, then installed my f16 and syria modules and 1 campaign (this combo took 8 minutes to load). Fired up DCS (in VR), made sure settings were good. Started the campaign: 24 SECONDS!!! I was in the cockpit without textures, at 40 SECONDS I had all textures and could start??!!!!! This is it everybody. If you are experiencing these crazy load times, just do it. clean install. btw my preload radius is at 40000 now. Nothing stutters, total smooth experience. So happy!

nullwhat should you do if the SP and CZ buttons are missing ?

Ok, thanks for letting me know and your work on the campaign! Will wait for the update

When I started DCS 1 hour ago there was an update waiting for the campaign. I updated it. Start mission 4, there is a tanker on the runway. Tower tells me wait until clear runway. Inwait and nothing happens.. was this the mentioned hotfix or is there another one coming?

you are right, too little information. I was in A-G mode, don't remember delivery mode. Will try it again and note all things. Try to make a screenshot but I'm in VR don't know how

(Sometimes) I don't have the Snowplow/ Cursor Zero buttons available in my TGP. While SOI. What could be the reason ?

Thanks for your reply. I didn’t know about and havo not cleaned out FXO and Metashaders. Where do I do this? terrain is high indeed, will try low. my 4070 ti super is 16GB.

When I load a single player, quick cold & dark ramp in Syria with the F16, it's takes about 3 minutes before I'm sat in the cocktpit. The textures of the cockpit are then finished loading + cursor available within about 20 seconds. When I load into a campaign mission (I've got Weasels First In campaign), it also takes 3 minutes before I'm from the menu into the cockpit. But the loading of textures really takes ages. Last time I stopwatched, it was literally 10 minutes before every texture and shader was applied and mouse cursor was available! That is astounding long. Can't be right?? I'm on a pretty high end system I think: 7800X3D, 4070 ti super, 32ggb ddr5 ram. I am on VR, but I'll test later in 2d as well. Settings are not crazy high, most are medium. Textures are high. hard drive where all dcs is on is a 2tb m.2 ssd But again, Instant fly cold & dark in syria, 20 seconds after in cockpit. Campaign, near 10 minutes. What could be causing this? Does everyone have loading times around this much in a (probably big, but ok) campaign mission? 10 minutes waiting is not normal in current day computers right? edit: without VR it's 5min from menu to sit in cockpit, and all textures are immediately loaded and cursor available curious to hear others experiences with this

When you use cable, do you have the orange warning in Meta app (connected as USB 2) or is it green/ USB 3? i have the official Link cable, but its recognised as USB 2. I do have smooth image though edit: I found a (short) good usb-c cable which is recognized as 3 and green. Very good image now, ordered a longer one and will def. fly wired!

Thank you!! I guess step 5 and 6 are the magic trick? Should I select the DCS.exe from the /bin-mt folder? I’m running MSFS through VirtualDesktop with succes. Using VDXR by the way - important that this is the same for DCS? Especially NOT SteamVR I assume

Fastest method with cable: - in meta app, settings > general, click meta being runtime for openxr - boot quest, connect cable - in vr, click enable Link. Make sure you are in the Link screen mode (grey raster background, desktop bar in front of you) - open DCS.exe from the DCS-folder/bin-mt folder. This opens the multithreading (mt) version which is needed for Meta openxr DCS should now open in VR. If not, check settings > vr within DCS once booted, check ‘Enable VR’. DCS will reboot, now in VR mode. If not, exit the game, and again run DCS.exe from the bin-mt folder. Now it really should start in VR

It worked once this whole day of trying options but I can't get it to work anymore. SteamVR as runtime, or VirtualDesktop? What should I set, in what order? I hope someone can post a simple steps list that just works Using Quest Link cable works good - is it worth the hassle to be wireless ?

after learning a bit more about the Mark Points feature, it makes sense. When the Mark page is active, TMS Up has a different function then setting SPI; with the Mark page active TMS Up sets the Mark point

that is the folder for the (amazing, really draws you into the story !!!) pdf's. What I'm searching for is where the pages are separately stored to be displayed on the kneeboard. When I open the Kneeboard, per mission I have the pages from the kneeboard pdf, and the SPINS pages. They are not in Users/Saved Games/DCS OpenBeta/Kneeboard. are they stored within the mission ?

after this I tried with stored heading alignment, and now all is good. I'll try next time to use normal alignment and save the track. thanks

I don't know if I'm missing something very obvious here, because this worked this afternoon (post-update) but I can't get my datalink symbols to show up on HSD, on autopilot steerpoint it does not steer to the steerpoint (hdg works), and also the HTS/HAD does not pick up radar signals. I have fully aligned the INS before moving. MDS switch to ON only after the TIME display shows GPS SYSTEM. DLINK page set to ON, Coarse switches to Fine. Am I missing something ?

Thanks for this great campaign! It's my first, having a lot of fun with it! I have a question: where are the kneeboard files stored? I want to add a page with notes to the folder, but can't find it. It's not in the default saved games/kneeboard folder?

I think I found it. I can’t lock when the DED page is on MARK. after I return - dobber left - I can lock in the HST, and one one occasion I found the site in the TGP.

I haven’t saved track file yet. In my practice mission I have a SAM site quite close by. I can try to get there quick, and try the lock on would that help?

I’m starting with the HTS pod on the F-16. I want to use it it locate a sam site, tms up to lock which slews the tgp to the area then finetune. But whatever I try, the HTS won’t lock on using tms up. The display is SOI. I dont have HARM missile installed, I want to use the HTS just for locating and giving location to TGP. Should be possible, right?
