Great, thanks!

Is there any recent lua editor with syntax highlighting?

Habe ich gemacht. DCS sagt mir aber beim Start, dass die Autorisierung für das RedK0d Modul fehlt. Vielleicht liegt's ja auch daran, dass ich FC 4 statt FC 3 installiert habe. Ist aber auch nicht ganz so wichtig, weil ich die wichtigen Funktionen sowieso alle auf meinen Throttle bzw. Stick gemappt habe.

I would not rely on a "smart" software solution when it's safety relevant. This is a safety issue and the graohic cards has to avoid this by appropriate hardware and layout design. This is just a weak and dangerous product design and not ready for market. Sorry NVIDIA, reengineering required.

You should really start to become sceptical if a single 12V unit consumes 600W or more. That's a 50A+(!) max current. This would equal a 5,5kW consumption at 110V or a 11,5kW consumption at 230V. That's more current than your kitchen hotplate needs.

This excessive power consumption - and price tag - are the main reasons why I don't want a 5090 or even 4090 in my system. My 4070 ti super already sinks about 300W. That has to be enough.

Ok. 4) this is a tough one. I already had DCS installed on my SSD only before but only the startup was faster, nothing else. That requires everything to be reinstalled. I leave that for later. 5) Don't know how to do that. 6) check. 7) check. There is no NV_Cache folder in my NVIDIA Corporation folder 9) Don't know how to do that.

Ok, I did a test run for the last two hours. Unfotunately the issue does not seem to disapear completely. However it's now much less severe with HAGS disabled. I also didn't notice any lower performance with HAGS disabled.

It's already enabled as you suggested, just 3) was enabled for harware acceleration. After disabling and restating all seems fine now, at least I haven't seen any issue during the last hour. I guess it's fixed now, thanks! Any idea why hardware acceleration causes this?

I run DCS my workstation (see below for details) which I am also using for work and other purposes too. Sometimes I switch DCS to the background to finish some other tasks on my PC: When switching DCS back to full screen after 15mins DCS runs so stuttering and slow that need to restart. This behaviour is reproduceable. I don't know whether this can be considered as a bug or not. Just want to share my observations.

I'd like Cologne please to land with a heli in front of the dome

... and another VelocityOne Flight Desk miracle - at least to me Got my VelocityOne Flight Desk setup now, both stick and throttle with latest firmware installed, all buttons, sliders and axes have 100% functionality, as checked with the latest Flight Hangar. Everything works fine with DCS. Almost. Altough the hardware is confirmed and tested 100% functional DCS does not seem to recognize analogue axis Rz, D and Z (throttle). The same applies to S axis on stick. I cross checked that with MSFS2024 and got the same issue. The hardware is definetly working. What's wrong ? Any fix available?

You're a very helpful ressource, my friend

Thanks, but I'd rather not like to add another piece of hardware to my already hopelessly scrambled and packed desk. I still hope there is a software path or app available for this. But your comment pointed me to another option. I use a VelocityOne Throttle with a configurable display and soft buttons. Perhaps they could be used to start keyboard macros somehow. Need to check.

Thanks (again).

I don't know whether there was already a thread for this issue, at least I couldn't find any. I would like to start multiple actions with a single key press or HOTAS button. For example: upon releasing the gear I would also like to start nose wheel steering. Or generate an auto start sequence startind with a single button. Is this possible?

Ah yes, you're right ! Should have recognized your avatar sooner. No, I don't know how to do that. In the meantime I clicked on every available button or knob in the cockpit to see what is changing. No impact to HUD only dashboard displays unfortunately. Sometimes it's also a bit tricky to identify the correct german entrys because the translation in DCS does not use the "normal" german idioms. It might be easier - at least for me - to use an english DCS version, but that requires me to change my complete PC system to english. Anyway, don't spend too much time on my "problem". If HUD only does not work I'll learn to use normal cockpit display including dashboard

Regarding head tracking I did some tests with opentrack . It works but it took some time to get the display smoothed and stabilized. Unfortunately I get nausea looking on the constant turning and moving screen with my large 57" ultra wide screen. Not an option for me. I guess there was a reason for not becoming a fighter pilot in my real life ... The Link is 14 years old and the file structure seem to have changed. At least the referred file MFCD_init.lua does not exist anymore in any directory. The 3 square screens in HUD only display seem to be copies of the 3 main displays on the dashboard. At least they show the same content. May there is a way to reduce the size of the center display?

Ok. Unfortunately I'm way too unexperienced to understand and edit lua files without screwing them up. I've just purchased the F-18 modul during the lunar sales two days ago and just started simming and gaming two months ago when I bought a complete new system after my old laptop is completely outdated after 14 years of work. I would appreciate it if you could point me to a link to the referred thread. Thanks for having patience with me.

No, it's not the kneeboard. That opens and closes with RShift+K in a seperate window and works fine. It is also not the F10 map. My HUD screen looks like this: The windows left and right are fine, although it would als be nice to scale or move them. I would like to eliminate the map in center because it blocks my VFR flight. The graphic also shows why the center map is much more disturbing on a 32:9 screen than on a 16:9 or 21:9 screen. The center map is half of the screen height on my display. I'm also not able to select the center window because there is just a yellow cross which does not select any window.

After purchasing the F-18 module just two days ago I am working my way through the training lessons and getting familiar with all commands and key binds. As I like to fly with HUD only display I wonder whether it is possible to disable the map display blocking the center of view. I am flying on an ultra wide screen with 32:9 ratio and the map display is blocking a good portion of the center view. How can I disable or at least shrink it? Thanks.

Dass diese 100Mrd. nicht viel mehr als eine Anschubfinanzierung sind, weiss ohnehin jeder, der es wissen will. Wir werden eher Richtung 100Mrd. pro Jahr brauchen und das mindestens für die nächsten 10 Jahre.

Ok, erst mal vielen Dank für eure Tipps und Hinweise. Ich habe halt noch zu wenig Ahnung von der Materie und werde vorläufig erst mal im FC Trainingsmode bleiben, bevor ich mir ein neues Modul zulege. Ich wüsste auch noch gar nicht, welches für mich in Frage kommt. Typhoon Eurofighter oder ein Starfighter würden mich reizen. Die scheint es aber noch nicht zu geben. F35 auch, aber der dürfte wohl noch lange geheim bleiben.

Ich habe mal alle Flieger von FC durchgetestet - alle kein klickbares Cockpit, auch nicht die defaultmässigen SU-25T und TF51D. Ein klickbares Cockpit haben offenbar nur die käuflichen Einzelmodule.

Just to close the hide stick issue: it only works in a clickable cockpit which does not seem to be the case for the SU-27 (FC) module. Just got this from the the german DCS community.
