    I've resolved the Man Range issue. I had previously set the binding to buttons. While this worked previously, it stopped working after the last update. Instead, it is now set to the controller's RZ axis in the axis settings. Still haven't figured out the Expand FOV button issue for the TGP.

    Has anyone using the Winwing F-16 Throttle and Joystick noticed issues with some key binds not being recognized in game, but do respond in Sim App Pro? Details posted in this thread:

    Since the last update I've found at least three throttle and joystick key binds that the game doesn't recognize. I'm using the Winwing Orion 2 F-16 Throttle and Joystick. The key binds for the Man Range (throttle) and Expand FOV (joystick) don't seem to function since the update. Both are working on the devices, as I can see them respond when activated in SimApp Pro. The Man Range dial itself doesn't respond in the controls panel, but I was able to bind the function to another dial on the Throttle base. I've done a full repair on DCS which had no effect. I've tried with an with and without any mods and still have the issue. I'm not sure what other trouble shooting I can do or what files to upload that might heip diagnose the problem. Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    @ouky1991 Is it possible to get your mod and the F-16 Yellow MFD Overhaul mod to work together? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3328823/

    Is there any way to save the language settings from one session to another? I'm also finding it necessary to select English several times for the change to take effect on the main menu. Windows 11 version.

    What you're looking for is available with the DCS Community Keybinds mod I talked about in your post on the Ejection Lever:
  8. mkel2010
    I looked at the PDF listing I created for the keyboard binds in the F-16 and the Ejection Safety Lever is not bound by default. in my setup, the key is defined under the Systems, Custom category. The "Custom" piece comes from adding the DCS Input Command Injector by Quaggles along with the DCS Community Keybinds mods (both found on Github.) With these mods installed, you can then bind the key to either the keyboard, joystick or throttle.

    I can see the missions fine in Windows Explorer, but they didn't show up in DCS until I removed the periods. (I just checked and I can see them with the leading period in DCS now - not sure why I couldn't see them before.)
  10. mkel2010
    @=617= Evil I really like your missions, but I'm confused about your reason for using a leading period in the filename for the Basic missions. The leading period makes the files invisible in Windows systems. It's a bit of a pain to go through and strip them all out to be able to use the miz files.

    Are you plugging into a built in port on the motherboard or an add-in card? If it's not the power settings, I'd check the drivers and then start looking at the USB hardware.

    Sounds like Windows is powering off your USB devices based on a power setting in the OS. Take a look at this article: https://www.howtogeek.com/296918/how-to-stop-windows-from-powering-off-your-usb-devices/

    Are you creating the folders for each aircraft in the Saved Games/DCS/Kneeboards folder?
  14. mkel2010
    I will give that a try (but it shouldn't take repetition of a command 50 TIMES to do this!) Is it possible to create a script that can be called in a single line instead of having to input this command 50 times?
  15. mkel2010
    For starters, the Comm 1 and Comm 2 knobs on the left console - to off. I've read through other posts that say you just need to repeat the Clickable Cockpit commands multiple times and I've tried that. I get zero movement when trying it this way. Whereas the Clickable Cockpit option has a field for the cockpit ID, the Command and a value, the X:SetCommand only has fields for the command and value. The command from Clickable cockpit alone (without the cockpit ID) doesn't work for turning knobs, at least for me. It stands to reason that if you can set switch positions through ME, you should be able to also set cockpit knobs.

    Here's two ways to export the video: IMO, using the first method is easier as you don't need to modify lua files - Helios does it for you.
  17. mkel2010
    I think what you're referring to is creating an Autoexec file to show the Command and Option Tooltips. I've already done that. I can see the commands for Clickable Cockpit items for switches, but they don't work for knobs that need to be turned. For that, there needs to be a numeric command that "should" populate in the tooltips for the far left column of the Controls page (the descriptive name of each control.) The information doesn't show for me.

    @Lord Vader Would you by chance be able to answer my question, posted above?

    For some reason, Gmail sends the forum post notification emails directly to spam - even though I have the return address in my contacts list. This is the message that I get from Gmail about each message: "The sender hasn't authenticated this message so Gmail can't verify that it actually came from them" Gmail suggests the following to avoid the issue: Best practices for email authentication We recommend you always set up these email authentication methods for your domain: SPF lets servers verify that messages appearing to come from a particular domain are sent from servers authorized by the domain owner. DKIM adds a digital signature to every message. This lets receiving servers verify that messages aren't forged, and weren't changed during transit. DMARC enforces SPF and DKIM authentication, and lets admins get reports about message authentication and delivery.

    The Mode(M) button's keyboard bind is RShift - 7 (confirm this for your setup.) You'll need to bind all four positions of the switch to that keyboard bind but I'm not sure if it will then work as intended in the game as it relates to the position of the switch.

    Does anyone know if the Commands part of the Command and Option Tooltips feature is supposed to work for the F-16? According to the DCS user manual, I should see the associated command (for using X:SetCommand in Mission Editor triggers) by hovering over the command description in the Controls section. When I do this, all I get is a repeat of the named description but no associated command number; I can see the Clickable Cockpit commands when hovering over the Keyboard bind for an command so I'm pretty sure I have everything configured correctly.
  23. mkel2010
    I've been trying to figure out a way to pre-set F-16 cockpit knobs through the Mission Editor. The clickable cockpit command works well for switches, not so much for knobs that need to turn. I've researched using setCommand but cannot see the required commands for the knobs in the Controls settings. According to what I've read in the DCS manual, hovering over the name in the far left column of the Controls page should provide the command numbers for setCommand, but all I get is a name. Specifically, I'm trying to turn off the Comm 1 and Comm 2 power knobs at start up. Edit to add: I've set the Options and Commands tooltips to true.

    I don't know if the plugin you're using is from ED or a user called Tobi. I found that Tobi's EDM plugin would not work with anything above Blender 2.X. Downloaded an earlier version of Blender and it worked fine. You might try that.

    Years ago this may have been the case, but not any more, particularly if you're not running a full security suite and are using just an anti-virus. This is one of the many articles out there that debunk the old premise that anti-virus causes latency on gaming machines: https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/tests-gamers-antiviruses/47576/
