Thanks eaglewings, I figured it out and for those that are new and don’t know, you need to manually switch the preset frequency on COM 2 which is the dial on the bottom RIGHT of the UFC (COM 1 is on the norm LEFT of the UFC and has already been preset in the mission). If you don’t manually set COM 2 then no matter what you do Finger will not talk to you. I’m not a very patient person and didn’t read the briefing thoroughly so read it and internalize it and you should be fine. P.S. I still got shot down but at least now I know what to do :megalol:

Hey guys quick question because I think I'm missing something. In the mission where I use JTAC to lase the Sam sites I can only destroy the first set and then I'm told I can "depart" then I try to talk to FINGER and they don't respond so I assume I can leave and the mission is complete. On my egress back to the carrier I'm told mission failed, BUT..... I can't talk to Finger so is this a bug or have I missed something? Confused.

Lol didn't work. I can get the command listed in the GUI but it doesn't work in the sim.

Ok I'll try it. I AM using notepad++ so the line to enter is this one right? local cockpit = folder.."../../../Cockpit/Scripts/" dofile(cockpit.."devices.lua") dofile(cockpit.."command_defs.lua") local res = external_profile("Config/Input/Aircrafts/common_joystick_binding.lua") join(res.keyCommands,{

Thanks Lecuvier, here it is. Not that when I did the editing, I backed up all the .lua files edited them then tried them out. Once i confirmed that they didn't work I restored the back ups and ran a repair just to be sure. The file you see is taken from: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Input\FA-18C\joystick default.lua

Maybe I'm missing something because it didn't work. Here is what I did according to your instructions: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I entered the first line of code you gave me in default.lua using only notepad I entered the second line of code you gave me using notepad++ and inserted it directly under the first line of code. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also; is the second line of code you gave me supposed to be all one line like the first line of code or is it supposed to be exactly the way you posted it?

And where do we enter this code? What’s the exact procedure?

Thanks Lecuvier, do you know how I can do this?

Can toggle airbrake be modded? I really hate the fact that I have to bind the airbrake to two buttons. It’s annoying and in a dogfight just adds to the confusion. Is there any way this can be edited in the f-18 files.

I will go with this one

I set the curves to 25.

Thanks Jabbers I'll try that. Congrats on hooking up a contract with HBS by the way!!!! :thumbup:

Haha!!! Yeah I guess it's sherlock holmes time to figure this shit out lol. Another thing that popped up is left and right throttle controls do not work independently of each other. I have to leave for work soon so other than checking my left and right throttle in Windows (they work), I don't have time to do more troubleshooting. I assume a lot of helpful info will come out in the next 24-48 hours.

Ran into this issue with the X56. Not sure if it affected the warthog HOTAS as well. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=234911

Once everything is updated and you’ve installed the Tomcat, DCS may default the throttle controls to pitch and roll so just remap it and you should be good. I haven’t checked to see if the same thing happened with the other modules so be warned. It might pop up. :thumbup:

Just a heads up for those with the Logitech X56 HOTAS, the throttle controls default to the elevators in a very weird way. I experienced it and I’ll report back with a simple fix if there is one. It’s probably just a matter of unplugging and replugging and re-calibrating the axis.

8:32 EST and no release.

1:03 est and no release...

And on that note, has anyone heard about a possible release date?

This definitely makes sense. MAC is a HUGE undertaking, forcing the DCS team to not only integrate several aircraft into the game but to also make them flyable with Keyboard and mouse as well as the perfect precursor to DCS World. The appeal that MAC has is it will attract entry level and new simmers to DCS and give them a platform that keeps the fun factor high as they learn. MAC will also help generate the revenue necessary to sustain further projects. DCS once said that the illusion that they are "raking in the cash" is false. That may change with MAC to their benefit..... The question from that point forward will be; Will they let the money control their decisions? Will they sell out to EA or Activision? Will they get in bed with a much larger entity to make more money... We may all say; "No that will never happen blah blah blah.", but you would be surprised at how easily people can cave when tons of cash is waved in their faces. I truly hope this never happens but let's not forget that DICE was an amazing company in 2004-5 with a devoted and loyal fanbase that swore DICE would never let greed dominate their decisions... Then it all went downhill when they got in bed with EA. From that point on it was all about the money. ED, make it about your passion and put your customers first and the money will come. What you're creating is a niche market that you will dominate if you can make flight sims more of a norm in gaming.

LOL, translation, YES, you need to pay to be RIO

Can you fly this campaign with a partner?

I've launched and flown for 5 minutes before I noticed that my wings were folded.... Hardly noticed any change in controls. Anyhoo.... Folded or not, once you go full throttle on the cat you will launch.

Fair enough and since LOGIRich isn’t part of the warranty dept I’d recommend Wilbur81 ask to try my suggestion anyway.tell them that once you receive the defective unit you’ll cut the USB and this way you get no downtime. No offence to LOGIRich but the way I see it, the answer is always no until you ask and asking is free
