Yep, what @Viral-51st-Vfw said, almost for sure you had flaps in AUTO (rather than 1/2 or full) on takeoff. You become a rocketship if that's the case and you won't be able to use trim or stick to level it UNTIL you flip it to 1/2 (or full) then back to auto. Once you do that it will start to behave itself again. But just make sure you follow a checklist and set them properly (and pay attention to the CK FLAPS caution you'll get when you push throttle ahead with weight on wheels and flaps in auto).

I shoulda just used Google in the 1st place. Search in the forums isn't great.

Can't find the thread right off, but this did get discussed fairly extensively in the last year or so.

And if you follow the directions in BigNewy's post you'll be able to launch it again. This is a Windows issue, not a DCS issue.

I'd bet that's the plan barring any blocking bugs. But no guarantees of that there won't be blocking bugs.

Not sure how many WW2 missions are in there, but if you go to the USER FILES section of the main DCS website (not the forum site) there is a section for user created missions/campaigns. Not all of them may work (if they were created on an older version of DCS), but there are definitely some good missions there (for F-18 anyway). It's mostly divided by aircraft and hard to search, but manually digging around hopefully you can find what you want.

I *think* ED is working on a solution, but I know some of our squadron servers will randomly drop and return from the list. Last night one was in the list for me but the guy I was flying with had to connect via direct IP . I have had one of them missing one night but all 4 of them show in the list the next night.

As much as WW support isn't perfect, they do seem to manage to push fixes in SimAppPro pretty promptly.

You're probably better off submitting a support request direct to WW on this. I don't believe they watch this forum at all and some changes have occurred after people submitted support requests. They might occasionally respond, but almost all posts here are users, not WW.

See this thread:

This! Every time these discussions come up I think of all the people saying MT was dead and never going to happen and ED had talked about it for so long with nothing to show that it was never coming. Then, out of the blue it appeared and the masses rejoiced. Not the 1st development that went that way. It's just the nature of the beast with ED (for IMO plausible reasons), so have some patience.

Thanks, good to know.

Great that it's working better for you now. I haven't ever had disconnect issues so I can't say I've seen any change.

SimAppPro allows you to keep the lights on your throttle (i.e. A-G mode or A-A mode) or other parts of your hardware synchronized with the in-game setting. It's also required for any of the vibration effects on some of the joysticks.

Yep. You can also use SET FLAG VALUE to set a flag to a specific value. One other thing to remember is that flags are CASE SENSITIVE, so "Flag 1" is different to "flag 1". Also with FLAG ON/OFF – on and off DO NOT use integer 1/0 when evaluated (i.e. if you set flag ON, it won't evaluate to 1 in "if flag=1“)

It's basically treating your numbers as letters. So it sees "13" and sorts it before "2" because it's looking at it as "1","3" rather than "13" and "1" comes before "2" so "2" comes after it because it doesn't look at the "3" until 2nd round of sorting. Easiest way to get around this is use letters, so substitute "A" for "1", "B" for "2" and on up.

As usual, the answer is "it depends" . Depends very much how much (and what) you want to do. I have dipped into direct LUA a bit and some of the mod versions like MOOSE and MIST a bit, and it's amazing how much you can do with just a little bit of knowledge (helps if you have some programming knowledge to allow you to grasp concepts and different ways to do it). Examples and looking at other missions are a great way to learn since LUA can definitely be intimidating to get started into. Good post above!

They are basically just pre-populated bindings for various aircraft (virtually the same as binding them yourself in game). No ability to assign multiple keystrokes with one command. If you're just meaning a modifier (i.e. doing CTRL A rather than sending A, B and C with one button press) that can be done. I've never used that part of the SimAppPro because I've never seen the advantage, so maybe I'm missing something, but that's my understanding of it.

If you're seeing the same physical DDI blinking off in multiple ports/multiple cables is a bad sign. Likely the hardware. Only other thing you could try is physically switch ports AND change which screen you're exporting to that DDI in the SimAppPro software. This is my laptop so it's checked as ON and you want OFF for each USB port. It's in DEVICE MANAGER in Windows.

WW software doesn't have the same level of functional complexity as the TM software, so I'm pretty sure you can't directly do what you're looking for with SimAppPro. It's easy enough with AutoHotKey (very lightweight external program) or other joystick software, but not within SimAppPro that I'm aware of.

Double check that you have the SLEEP function for your USB ports turned off (or that Windows hasn't turned them back on if you have turned them off before). Are you running it direct to computer USB or through a hub? Could be a power issue if it's direct or you're not using a powered hub. Sounds like somewhere it's disconnecting the RDDI. Also check that all the cables into the back of the DDI are fully inserted. It's possible you have a dud DDI too. Try swapping the port you're plugging that one into with one of the other ones and see if it still happens with the problem DDI or starts happening with the new one plugged into that port. That should help determine if it's the port or the WW hardware that's at fault.

In fairness, while this might have been a problem in 2015, I'd pretty sure it was fixed and only became a problem again recently.

Keep an eye on the changelogs and the Hornet MINI-UPDATES thread in the Hornet sub-forum (although the fusing video was only in the F-16 Miniupdate section so easy to miss).

Physical RAM is always going to be better than a pagefile, so if possible I'd be getting more physical RAM AND bumping your pagefile size.

Copied from above: Won't pass IC check, but you can change it here: \DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\ViewportHandling.lua dedicated_viewport = {3910,2437,600,700} -- << AT LINE 33 It is set as "default", you'll need to figure out what co-ordinates you need to use
