hi, i am trying to bind my hotas to move the mms from the pilot seat. it appears that if you bind the mms up/down/left/right to my collective stick buttons it only works in the copilot seat. i read where it should work if i just don't bind anything to them from the pilots seat. however it does not. it only works if i'm in the pilot seat. i also was able to bind the mms axis to a hotas cursor, but not any button controls. i'll need to explain this more. What i need to do is bind the mms to a button that is on the collective not hotas. in the VPR software i made my buttons control stick function like a cursor but when i try to bind that to the DCS mms axis it will not find that. so i'm left with using mms up/down/left/right which does not seem to work for me. any ideas? i've almost bound everything to pilot seat so i can just stay there and fly and activate my hellfires. however i need to move the mms around. thanks for any suggestions

thanks, i'll take a look at this later this week.

ok, so i'm learning so be patient with me. i've created a mission that i am calling rescue that has a down helicopter and a bunch of troops that will get on a transport heli. i made the troops and the opposing team that advances on the troops and fight. However i created a heli that flys to support the ground troops. i placed the heli close to the fight just for testing instead of coming from the airport. however when i literally place the way-point around the fight and define them as fly over...replaying the mission to test the helicopter does it own thing. what gives???? if you see something i am totally missing, please point that out to me so i can learn. Thank you! iraq_rescueorfight.miz

hey thanks guys for helping, means a lot to me. 1. yes i can disable the hot plug 2. i think i already have game mode off and hardware accelerated GPU scheduling off. 3. DLAA, while i like how its more smooth, it causes a bunch of ghosting so i've been using MSAA, however the issue is the same regardless. 4. yes i have deleted the fxo, and metashaders folders. 5. i did drop everything down to min (preload, detail etc) but it still does this pause loading. yes, the Pause and loading happens a couple times that i can see in my testing. i say testing because i play the same mission over and over and fly the same route just testing different settings. basically i run the f-16 take off from runway in caucasus map. i take off and turn to the right to merge with the f-16 there, then proceed to fly over a town. the first pause/shutter is while i'm on the runway ready to take off. Sometimes i can see the hours glass show. the next major stutter is just as i leave the runway and pass the c-17, i also get a pause at the merge, i have seen a pause also over the town. i did go an defrag my ssd and optimized it and it seems like it might be a little better but still not fully fixed. these make me wonder what is going on? 2024-12-23 00:51:39.393 ERROR_ONCE DX11BACKEND (19248): texture 'lightPalette.tif' not found.

hi, given DCS has still not fixed the VR hand tracking i am trying to do something different in the meantime. i have mapped the mouse left/right click to buttons, but want when i move the vr controller around and point. I need the green pointer line to show. if it shows i can then just click on mapped button to toggle switches etc. note, i do not want to have to press the controller trigger to show the green pointer line. Why, because i created a VR glove that is really just the controller molded to the glove. so all i need to do is point to the controll and click the mapped button. since the glove does not have a trigger, i need to map this to a button or have it on all the time. thanks

here is my log file. not sure what im looking for. dcs.log

Hi, first off i want to state what i have running DCS so you all know my specs. - Ryzen 9 3d, Nyvida rtx 4090, 64Gb, 6T ssd drive, basically should be a creaming machine. - i am using VR with Meta Quest 3 and pc link cable at 72hz, 90hz and tried 120hz ok, my issue is that after Dec's build i am now getting pauses in the game that look like loading stuff maybe... i just can't tell. i keep flying the same profile with 'caucasus f-16 take off from runway' each time changing different profiles. i even made sure my forest, and other graphics were min. during take off from the runway i notice a big pause, and right after i get off the ground. after that i pretty much start over with a diff profile. - i've turned on/off game graphics acceleration, I turned off anti-virus, i turned on/off page cache and even set it to 32gb, at this point i've just don't know whatever to try any ideas?

Well count yourself lucky then I can’t seem to get them to work. I tried flying a night mission like your images and they were not there. I even tried the last build dec 11 still not there. just in case here is what I am doing. I fly a quick mission. I turn on the pdu via map key from hotas. I use mouse to try and change brightness. I switch back and forth from guns to weapons etc. I am using dlss with max settings on all. I am playing from steam not sure what else to try.

well DCS 2.9.10.4160 - 11.12.2024 is getting closer but still does not work like it use to. works - controller do not disappear when entering VR setting. Does not work - Vr hands will not show - when you turn on hands, you lose mouse control a least i did - controller does not have touch function closer, but still a ways to go guys

well DCS 2.9.10.4160 - 11.12.2024 is getting closer but still does not work like it use to. works - controller do not disappear when entering VR setting. Does not work - Vr hands will not show - when you turn on hands, you lose mouse control a least i did - controller does not have touch function closer, but still a ways to go guys

Glad they are working for you . Clearly they are not for me as shown in my image. I will try night flying for comparison. They should show up in both day and night. I’d like to see a one to one comparison on what you see for day flying?

ok, after talking with Virpil, they suggested a way to calibrate the stick. the key here is not to go into windows and re-calibrate instead, just click the "reset" . Here was their response. firstly, create new profile and calibrate axes in VPC Configuration Tool. Then run VPC Joystick Tester and check if axes work correct. reset Windows calibration, Create New Profile-> Calibrate-> check in VPC Joystick Tester at this point it worked so i'm good for now. thanks for all your help guys!!!

yes i tried these with both binding them and using my mouse. still nothing. i'm wondering if this is a issue using DLSS just like the mfd graphics

i'm going to say this is not an issue like i thought. the issue is that you need to cock the gun, then put the gun back into the center switch or it will not work. make sure you bind the "cock gun" to return back to center

thanks, since this is not just me...I'm going to summit a ticket. if we all submit tickets maybe they will start making it a priority. thanks

currently the PDU does not work and show any reticle so i have to use the grease mark. It would be very helpful to allow us to bind the grease mark to my hotas or other control

I am selecting gun or rockets to fire. I do this from my hotas . In the mfd you can see the change and when I pull the trigger I either get rockets or guns. But no reticle

ok, thanks. I'm reaching out to virpil and seeing if they know the issue. I'm thinking it might be them instead because i just opened up their calibration center, then also opened up the windows game controller window. i can see a jump on the game controller test window so something is up. I'll let you guys know what i hear back

ok i did a couple tests. the behavior seem to happen over multiple mods. Huey and Oh-58 tested. if you look at the image provided you can see that the virpil axis shows 0% and 100%, therefore when i move the collective it registers from 0-100% Same with throttle. This seems to indicate that the issue is within DCS but i just can't see to find it. null

hi, while flying the MFD i get these weird gray lines and the graphic is not clear. the gray lines shift etc anyone else seeing these? Note its hard to see unless you look close at the mfd image i uploaded. its pretty bad in game however. null null

ok here is a picture. No reticle, all mods turned off. Latest DEC 4 2024 build still nothing not sure how to get this to work then?

well i have changed my axis to slider and checked other bindings. at this point i still have the issue. what i notice is with the virpil app, both my throttle and collective move smooth from 0-100% so that seems fine. however in DCS it jumps. - Notice in these picture (yes i know sliders is off for these images) - this image the collective is at 0 or all the way down . Notice its shows -100 - next image shows the stick moved up maybe 1-2in but now the input is 0 this is where the jump is and like the stick is not really set to 0-100 if you want pictures with the slider enabled i can do that however it will look close to teh same but the values will be -50 etc null

this is unbelievable that people have been asking for this since June and still you guys are not fixing this issue. still no fix in DCS 2.9.10.3948 This is total BS and before you cry babies get on here and make excuses for them not fixing this...i am a software engineer so i know what i'm talking about. it should not take this long to fix this issue. period! its very apparent they don't care about it and instead want to just push out stuff to try and incite people to buy more half/ass modules with their own bugs. Hey here is a novel idea, fix what you have so people like me can continue to play. If we can't play what we have we sure is hell not going to put more money into this. Dont think it matters, listen to your customers this is just from the first search page of the forum... there are many redit post and more.

Mostly playing hot start missions. To get the PDU to show you have to “show” it using a keyboard or mapped command. Once it shows there is no retical inside. you say no such problem so what version are you playing with? Are you on steam or normal download. I am on steam with last update. I will try dec 4 update when I get home to see if it’s fixed. I can also check for mod issues. How do I do that? you say upload some screen or track.. not sure what you are asking a screenshot of a empty PDU is all you will see. Is there something else you want me to upload?

i have virpil collective control with throttle twist and when i move the collective up/down it jumps my curves are smooth, so i'm not sure what is going on. calibration for the stick looks good too as it goes from 0-100% where the jump is at around o-10% from 10%-100% its smooth. thoughts?
