Check that your MFD resolution (it's called cockpit display or something) hasn't been set back to 256 from 1024 in settings. You may need to delete your metashaders 2 and fxo files too after you change it back. Radar hasn't changed on my end.

Check if DCS has added a binding for those in game. It's prone to adding bindings you didn't add yourself. Check especially the non-aircraft categories. If it's bound in there it may be intercepting the button press before it gets to TIR.

It's a slightly tricky one because you need to set that in the ADVANCED WAYPOINT ACTION / PERFORM TASK / ORBIT function (on the waypoint for the starting point of the refueling orbit). And note that it uses either TAS or MACH rather than KIAS, so the speed you'll see in cockpit is "slower" than what you set. For the F-18 at 20K I will set it for 370 kts TAS and it will be about 270 kts IAS in the cockpit. For the F-16 I use 424 kts in the advanced WP and that gives about 300 kts IAS in plane. If you just set the speed in the normal WP it will be overridden by whatever you have set in the Orbit action.

Unfortunately nothing obvious in the stats above and sounds like you've covered all the 1st steps in troubleshooting

It's not a "replay" system, even though it gets used that way. Do a search on track files.

This!! For an "older" map it's been getting a lot of regular Botox treatments to keep it fresh

Agree with speed-of-heat, right basket is weirdly hard (likely because we don't use it as much so our references are more for the left basket). You also will need to speed up slightly in a turn on the right since you're travelling slightly farther than the tanker in the turn, whereas on the inside you'll be going slightly less far). I'm not a fan of curves, but that is personal preference. With a good stick (and without extensions) you get very precise control without curves and you just need to learn how to only make tiny movements of the stick. I think you've realized, but in DCS if there is only 1 plane fueling (or whoever clears contact 1st if there's more than one) will ALWAYS have to take the left basket (even if the right basket is out), and if you try to take the right your probe will just pass through it.

Pretty sure that function doesn't exist IRL. The forward (or backward) press are basically a "START PROGRAM" button. The CMS button on F-18 should be spring loaded back to centre, so you press it to start the program and release it and it goes back to centre.

That could do it . Thanks for coming back with the answer!

Start program as in the Launcher? It's completely optional. I turned if off after my 1st boot when it was introduced.

I've said it before, I'm sure I'll need to say it again. That logo DOES NOT signify ED is "in bed with Nvidia". That logo is required as part of the licensing agreement with Nvidia to be able to use DLSS. ED themselves have stated this. Not as much AMD support is because it's still a much smaller part of the user base (for graphics cards, although appears to be a growing part for sure). Originally ED didn't even plan to add FSR for a while after they got DLSS up and running (due to smaller user base) but they decided to add it after all. I'm sure newer versions will get added too, but there's a lot of testing that would be required and it goes back to resource allocation vs # of users with AMD video cards.

What you're missing in part is that the Litening in DCS was (and is) WAAAYYYYY overpowered to what it should be. So it's not really an ATP problem, it's a Litening problem.

Which tanker? I've seen that with the KC-10 (I think that's the one) which will put out a basket for the F-18, but isn't functional so you can't get fuel.

And to add to the last, checking for a bomb in a small zone is tricky/inconsistent if you don't do something like the last post suggests because the standard triggers are only checking about once per second. So a bomb falling can pass into and out or into and blow up and therefore no longer exist between the 1 second intervals.

If you can't find anything double bound try renaming your Saved Games/config folder and see if you get the same issue. Sometimes there can be corruption in the bindings files that isn't obvious in the binding screens.

You need to use SWITCHED CONDITION rather than ONCE if you aren't going to meet both conditions right off (and add a flag after it triggers so it won't trigger again once you have met both). In this case you enter at >600m. So it looks, sees that you've met a condition (in area) so it "fires" a check of the 2nd condition (which is negative) and doesn't cause the trigger to activate (because both conditions weren't met), but also won't fire again because tripping the 1st condition means it's "fired" the check once.

That's not completely true. They've said that the server is ST and that moving it to MT is low priority since there would be little gain for it being MT. So they haven't said it's never coming, but they did indicate server MT isn't coming soon.

You're correct. Brain slipped on that one.

The only thing you're going to get a refund on is the F-15E and you'd get miles store credit back in that case. It's plastered in a bunch of places when you buy anything that all sales are final. If you're on Steam and have used it for less than 2 hours I think you can get your money back from them, but I don't use Steam so I can't help with the details.

You likely have a double bind. And DCS is known for adding random double binds on occasion.

Saved games/DCS/config/input If your device ID's change you may need to change the file names to get them back into game. There are a few files around to automate that process in case you need to use the backup.

That's a weird random issue that pops up occasionally. No real reason and it seems to be individual people rather than widespread when it happens so likely corruption on their install for no apparent reason.

Work around that may work is put a soldier unit inside and use it to detect hit. In some cases they'll sit inside so you won't see them, but they may sit on top so may or may not work.

Some of us are slow readers, so please give us access to the manual a good bit of time in advance so we can actually fly when it releases. Please. (full disclosure, I'm actually a fast reader, but claiming to be a slow reader makes a better argument in favour of this )

If you're using the launcher, there is a sqlite file I think that's been causing people issues. Do a search and you can likely find out what one it is and deleting it has solved some problems. I disabled the launcher as soon as it came out so I haven't paid enough attention to remember what the file is.
