Post a track of what you're doing (shorter the better, so an air start with just setting up the Walleye is good). You can save a track from the debriefing screen when you quit the mission. Otherwise it's a guessing game as to what you're missing, but set up properly you should get a video feed before launch with the Walleye and D/L pod. Double check that you actually have the D/L pod installed.

The two things I find are you need to make sure you are LEVEL when your wheels contact the deck (if you have any bank one side takes a bigger hit) and keep your rate of descent <800 fpm. Weight also plays. Typically it's overdoing a combination of these things that will get you -- i.e. if you're overweight but level and low descent rate you're likely OK, but if you're overweight and slightly high on your descent rate you'll break things.

What keybind are you using to contact JTAC? Sounds like you might have easy comm's ON on your computer but OFF on your server.

Worth posting the mission if you can. Trackfile might or might not be useful. Right now there is very little info to work on. Flew last Saturday with a combination of F-18, F-18, Harrier and had no issues, but might be the particular ground units (start by removing any MOD ground units) or something else.

Does sound like a sticky TDC or sensor issue. Random since basically the stick wasn't perfectly re-centring every time after you moved it which left a little bit of input sometimes after you released it. Usually a little bit of deadzone in DCS would zero it out. The stock Warthog throttle was notorious for this but TBH I haven't seen it on my original Orion WW throttle.

You've got a P/INS advisory in your LDDI which means you have your INS in NAV with GPS available. Switch your INS to IFA and it may solve your issue.

You need just the right conditions and positioning to be able to see it, so it's not really common.

64 GB is never a bad thing, but as long as you have a total of 64 between your physical RAM and PAGEFILE you should be good. I would check what your pagefile is set to and make sure it's set to at least 32 GB rather than Windows managed. Also check that you aren't getting tight on space on the drive your pagefile is on.

I haven't touched it in a long time since I set my rudder pedals up, but IIRC they had some good videos on their website that described it step by step.

You might want to have a read through this post/thread. ED disagrees with your interpretation so unless you can provide concrete proof that it's wrong don't expect any changes.

It's good to have this one come up every once and a while. Like MAXsenna said, it didn't get lot of attention at the time and is easily overlooked but very powerful functionality.

If you have a shortcut to the .exe on your desktop you shouldn't ever need to change it (unless you move your DCS). Only caveat with this is if you're pointed to the one in the MT bin folder, at some point you may need to change it to point at the straight DCS bin folder when ED removes the MT bin folder.

Spamming this into every unrelated thread going isn't going to get it fixed any faster, so please stop clogging the forums with it. You won't like this, but the fact that you had so few replies or interactions with your original thread on this topic should indicate to you how many people are concerned about it. I understand it's a game breaking issue for you, but there are lots of other issues that are game breaking for others and priority is going to go to issues directly affecting a larger group of people. Should it get fixed? Yes. Will it? I hope so. But it's not going to near the top of the pile of issues to be fixed.

I haven't had a chance to try your track and see about the crash, but what you're describing here is working as intended (unfortunately) (except the crash part). You have to change role out of your aircraft and into the air boss slot if you actually want to do anything more than spectate from the air boss position

This reply from above is all you need to know. It really is as simple as just moving it.

That's a good indicator you don't have enough free space on your drive for the update to unpack before installing. Likely need 200+ GB free for install. Won't take that much more after it's finished installing, but you temporarily have a bunch of duplicate files during the install. In past this was also a good indicator that your anti-virus is blocking things being moved/changed.

Yes.

Ahh, that works on standalone. No idea how to do that on Steam (or if it's even possible).

There hasn't been a limited "number of activation's" for modules for a number of years now. You need to log on and authorize, but that's it.

You realize that it gives you the option to NOT update right? I assume you're concerned with having to log on to reauthorize after 3 days, but all you need to do is use a shortcut direct to the dcs.exe (rather than the updater_dcs.exe or something like that) and it will do the authorization and not attempt to update at all.

You also need to ALIGN your JHMCS if you haven't done that. Wont be a massive error, but it won't be right on if you don't.

Interesting. I don't land on land very often but occasionally I have had it where NWS didn't immediately activate and that's likely why. Not deliberately flaring, but maybe getting the same effect inadvertently. Thanks!

I assume you mean the new launcher? You should be able to turn it back on in one of the options screens - MISC tab "Launcher on start" checkbox. You don't need the launcher if your shortcut points to DCS_updater.exe (it will run the updater). The HUGE update was likely due to massive changes in Kola and Syria maps rather than not having updated recently. Updates are generally cumulative so if you miss one it won't have much impact on the size of the one after (except in a case like the last one that was huge due to maps).

Just as a data point, I'm using a Delan clip with TIR camera and I'm not seeing issues. Not sure what camera you're using but I have seen reports that the newest TIR software is causing some people issues.
