Hi, I have one blue tooth headphone set works fine. One set of speakers plugged into the line out socket on computer ( This is when a visitor wants to see the system working and experience the sound as well as visuals). I have both outputs working in Windows 11 with any U tube or sound input via Windows 11 BUT it won't work when I connect DCS F18. I just get my headphones ONLY and I have not chnaged a thing except fire up DCS What do I need to set in `DCS to get this to work please

Hi, I appear to have solved this problem by purchasing a program calle " Display Fusion" It does an aweful lot of things I dont want to do and a few that I do want to do. Basically you set the screen display in D/P and ask it to remove the task bars on the three DDI screens ( by clicking on the task bars in the tiny screens and disabling them one by one) Meanwhile the other screens and any further info screens of which I have 2 x 27 Dell displays the task bars can be left in place. I have a small issue with getting the duplicate taskbarinfo on these screens as when playing I have a full screen situation but it seems that by clicking in the bottom of that main screen the taskbar appears anyway. I am sure I can solve it but the menu options are massive and will talk to support who I am sure will give me two clicks and it will be done. Should you leave the taskbars on the DDI screens? No because it hides the menu options for the screen buttons. When all is set you save as a profile and then set that profile with a hot key sequence and the screens click to that format designated in the profile. You can have many many profiles if you wish but this is the sledgehammer and walnut situation. Let's hope thats the last of it and theres more flying than fiddling however there always seems to be a problem to solve with this stuff. I use to fly model jet aircraft and thought that was testing but this might "Take the biscuit" as they say. Thank you all once again for your interest an help

So how do I configure this lot without Sim App pro ?? I would be keen to understand.. What alterantive program can I use for this please ?

Yes When configured in the proper format, it all works fine except the refresh counter changes sometimes on the main Coursair 45" screen. It has worked fine for about 2-3 months since the last lesson in plugging in usb plugs from a clean unplugged computer was learned. These usb plus the main control packs like throttle and stick and PTO2 are all into a supplementary powered usb board powered from the main supply and approved for this system Simm app pro reads a framework of screens as set out in its graphic interface and takes the info on from there . If that info is wrong it fails uptsream

Thank you for the interest. Here is the latest info: Memory test 4 hours seems to have passed Enclose two screen shots of WND 11 display setting pages. The left is what appears when first loaded and the right is what "Sim App pro" wants to see in order to run the DDi screens which work perfectly if you complete the setup you can play the game ! You slide the images and set them to portrait and save them in position, except they dont save position. However the Windows 11 settings do NOT remain after restart in the three below graphic they revert to "Up on the right". Also the Bios page appears about every other re boot saying its perhaps a "Safety mode moment " to be addressed . The only thing I can think I have not done is update the "Tuf Gaming " bios although this was done 6 weeks ago appx

Hi, Here we go again and just when I thought I had this tamed its back. After a Micrsoftupdate I had a sound issue and then the screen refresh rate figures in the corner of my main monitor started to flash from 100 to 120. ( despite the fact the main screen is designed for 240 refresh I assume the Wing Wing instrument screens ar the lowest denominator). I ended up at 120 and all WAS fine until update. So I have removed the latest July update nad updated my Graphics Invidia card to the 1st July update, although it was updated about 6 weeks ago. The computer supplier of the machine now 8 months old is doing a memory check and this will be available tomorrow when I return home. SO: Unplugging the usb screens and switching off and re boot and plug in one by one does not work small screen motivs revert to the side of the main screen even after being saved for position . Worked before ! Nvidia card updated Microsoft update back dated ... No difference I can proceed through to Sim app pro and play but reboot sets the screen landscape and out of position. Sometimes Sim App Pro cannot set the screens from its path in the route because the original Windows 11 screens are wrong so it wont recognise them to move forward I updated Dispaly driver used by Sim App Pro and used the cleaner for it ....No difference. I have a new 1000w power supply which seemed to be part of the previous solution ...Am I asking too much of this and does it have to be bigger ?

HI and thank you for the help. Its all working fine now so forwards to oblivion !

I am with Zen Internet and have been for 18 years now as you can speak to a tech, unlike some others. I await my 1 GIG connection from Open Reach now 6 months of failed installation dates. However thats UK now ! I do not know how to do a DNS refresh so can you advise. I am using the connection that was given when you had problems with DNS and have not changed it as it works well for DCS generally Tried Duck Duck Go and got the same rejection.. Both my Mac and my PC are on the same internet connection !

Hi, Bignewy I am in the UK

Hi, I have a Mac and PC . I often use the Mac for the forum and log in without issues with a mixed cap and lower case password using my e mail. The Mac is running "Private relay" but has no issues to log on My Pc is connected direct to the same switch as the Mac and has no issues logging to DCS World games etc. However, I cannot log into the Forum from the PC despite checking the password until locked out and also observing the no caps lock ie all lowercase and I cannot understand why . Can you help please

SOLVED WITH GREAT HELPER ! THANK YOU

So here is the finale : New power supply fitted which appears to fix the bios start-up problem plus bios flashing as well. Time will tell. All systems are working including now Streamdeck, SRS, DC Realistic and The Way . Yes I know there is a cartridge but this is pre flight as far as I can see and its useful to be able to locate a waypoint on the hoof apart from the HMD and Mark point of course. Finally just enquisitive as to where DCS stores the GIGabytes of terrains that I downloaded as apart from jpegs for the titles I cannot see them yet but your download may solve that as yet to be used Thank you again

Hi I am a newbie to this platform and chose the F18c because it had the most multifunctioning capabilities, including carrier workings. I must say I in part agree with some of the comments made above. Some tutorials just dont seem to work and the U tube brigade are usually years out of current date. Many are very good but some mumble and show out of focus cockpit detail whilst giving poor explanations. However I have been very lucky in joining up with a now good online friend who is an extremely good pilot and teacher and the finer arts of "Notching" and BVR radar have been given to me and are so appreciated. I am not sure I would have maintaned the momentum and bought DDI screens and UFC panels spending appx £1300 with a steel seating rig as well had I not had this very much one on one advice. I am sure there are many that have stumbled their way through without such a privilege and I take my hat off to them all as it is pretty hard work. I have the ability through age to fly 2 hours a day and you can pick out those that know what they are doing from the rest pretty easily. What about the setting up of your cockpit screens ? Overlooked by me before my tutoring but essential for good cockpit management in my opinion. Frankly the easier you make it the more they will enjoy and the more you will sell !

Hi, Thank you for the information and advice. I am definitely on the way to recovering and getting things sorted. I will do all of the above and report back when I receive my replacement power module which will hopefully fix the BIOS issue which is the last thing needed at this moment. However I have learnt a lot testing that with the makers advice as well. "Thank you" is a phrase I repeat again. One day maybe I can also help others but there is a long way to go for that yet

Hi, Thank you for the replies they are appreciated. I have not replied straight away because now I have a BIOS problem that has taken the supplier to analyze and re map a number of times without total success. Unless I remove/replace the power plug before boot up it goes to safe mode etc etc . It seems the power supply might be faulty and will be replaced tomorrow. I am learning quickly here !!! The unit is 6 months old and has enough power of processing and storage with graphics that astound. I have renamed the DCS saved games folder and done that successfully. I can play and DCS Realistic is now working. Despite my attempts SRS, The WAY and Streamdeck fail to work even with new installs and better understanding of the lua placements they still fail, but I will persevere. The question as to moving DCS to D drive seems pointless as you can see and probably already know there is not much of it to move IF THIS CORRECT SHOWN IN THE SHOTS ENCLOSED. I am astonished at the fatness of my C drive ! Is it full of terrain maps although I cannot see them there and would like to know where they reside anyway as there may be an off load way of storing them ( to be loaded from a holding drive maybe but thats my imagination working overtime here). So thank you for getting me this far and any further advice would be welcome but the road ahead looks better now after your helpful intervention.
