That was an excellent post Quadrafarian. Just what the manual needs. Thank you. For those who need video: video time is at the point discussing the Keyword editor. Then it discusses replacing the Keyword Collection in the VAICOM profile.

Yes. Use CTRL + A to select everything in the What I Say box and press either delete or backspace. Then use CTRL + V to paste in the clipboard. Then click Apply.

Do you have a custom DCS path set with OB checked on the Config page? Pull up the VAICOM panel with LFT CTL + LFT ALT + C, click the Config tab.

I figured it out. I think that the confusing instruction is that after you click FINISH and go to edit the VAICOM profile, that to know in the Keyword Collections section, you can double click or edit any of the Spoken Commands to edit the "What I say" box. I was looking for a specific Spoken Command to edit. Does that help @Dispatch? AI Communications is listed under the column Description.

Yeah, I’m confused by the dialog box and manual as well.

Worked for me. I was running 1.6 by 200 and dropped PD back to 1.0. This got rid of the milk screen. But curious that it just change in the latest beta build. O+ / 2080ti

I've found that with my 2080ti that SteamVR automatically sets your Video Resolution to 200%, which has a huge impact FPS wise on DCS. Note that I didn't say image quality, which seems unchanged. So, I've dropped it down to 100% and getting about a 25% increase in frame rate. With my rig (i7 8700 at 4.8 ) the best settings for image quality to FPS are below. With these settings I'm no lower than 45 fps, usually around 48-50. Hope this helps. SteamVR Video Res manually set to 100%: DCS Options preset: VR Textures: High MSAA: 2x PD: 2.0

Hmm, OK thanks Panther. That might work. Using the MonsterTech mounts with the MFD wings. I'll kick that 4" clamp idea around. Appreciate it.

Hey Panther, I've probably got that X-grip collecting dust in the motorcycle parts box. Do you mind saying what you using to mount the RAM ball to your desk/pit? TIA

That's great news Bamse. I ordered mine 8/1, so have been waiting for the parts elves to catch up. Another vote for an F/A-18 UFC, legacy or super. Either would be awesome.

EDIT: Hmm. I never had taken the time to click the MAKE HTML button. \Saved Games\DCS\InputLayoutsTxt\FA-18C_hornet\Keyboard.html is what I am looking for. Thanks.

I wish that the manual had a list of the keyboard shortcuts, like most of the other modules. Is there a way to dump them from the sim? The HOTAS graphics above are a help, but there are a lot more commands that I typically bind (gear, launch bar, refueling probe, hook, views, etc.)

Or perhaps you need to program Hold instead of Pulse to the command (using TM TARGET phraseology). If the command is pulsed, you would only get a millisecond of input on that axis.

Thank you Assaf. Very helpful.

You forgot a timer. So plot the legs, measure the distance, calculate airspeed allowing for climb, decent, atmospheric conditions and magnetic declination, take note of obvious landmarks, and then time the leg, cross checking your progress using landmarks as a reference as long as the surface was visible. Peice of cake :smilewink:

There is a whole lot more in there besides input. Missions, campaign progress, custom knee boards, logbook, etc. I'd be careful with that folder. Would be better to know specifics, which I do not.

Shouldn't they be posted in this forum section though? In other words, why the exception?

Foxbat Glow looks pretty good in 2.1, IMO. Your art is appreciated.

Love the podcast guys. Wish that it was released more often, but understand the effort involved. I'm resurecting my old gaming rig in order to get my 3 year old Scarlett out of my lap every time I flight sim. She absolutely loves flying and until she is old enough for leasons, she needs a rig to build her flying chops. The plan is to roll my current rig to her each time I upgrade, or about every 3 years. The TM Flight Pack would help immensely. Cheers and happy new year!

Decided to share this in case someone else needs a little help building a profile. Edit: Updated to v2 CHIP_F-86F.zip

Yeah, that's a big step and one that I forgot to mention. Thanks Tom.

I just emailed you one that I built a while ago, but should still be good. For TrackIR make sure to program Center, Pause, and Precision buttons. Precision is overlooked but really smooths the movement. I am using the communications hat in my profile for this. To use the TARGET profile, drop it in your TM TARGET folder. I've moved mine to my Saved Games folder, but I believe that the default is Documents\TM TARGET or something similar. Run the TARGET GUI and if you don't see it in the list of GUI Configurations -> Custom, click the Edit Configuration button top center. Then navigate to the folder where you put my profile, open it, save it, and now it will be under GUI Configurations. Click on top of it and then click Run. Good luck.

Here you go. Simple takeoff from Nellis, two ship at 0900. Edit: added a screenshot from the mission. My kneeboards are resized and relocated with Kneeboard Builder so that they work with the Rift, but the KIF works fine in this mode. [F-5E] NEVADA 0900 Takeoff.miz

Brixmis, you probably know this, but the F-5E kneeboard is working in 2.0.3. For sure broken in 1.5.4. Very cool to have the guides on the kneeboard. Thank you.

Anyone tried hitting a tanker on the way home?
