White and black hot after hits and resulting "hot" smoke. Looks like blobs (same target) Seems like "normal (not white hot or black hot) looks bad over trees. Almost like looking at a page of static on my old TV. BTW these are well past the initial explosion and all.

Me either. Hot start in air, multiplayer. Switched to hot start on carrier multiplayer and all worked fine.

Me either and did the same deletions.

One thing to remember is if you use 54s with Jester, he will use TWS at that range. You can tell it by the radar showing a priority of the targets and the countdown once you launch. Once you launch you MUST keep the target in the radar cone until the missile goes active (around 10 miles to target) There is suppose to be an indication that has happened but I think its not modeled yet. If your firing and then turning, your missiles will miss period as they need the radar for guidance. Its not a fire and forget weapon in this case. Another thing is the AI cheat... If you watch a trackview of them when your firing at 40 miles, the instant you launch I have seen AI dump chaff and begin to evade immediately. Prior to that Hot and level. I think I have good eyesight but even I cant see a missile launch at 40 miles. I have done both pilot and RIO and have taken down 4 Mig 29s in one salvo in practice missions several times (though 2-3 is more a norm). Learn the good and that bad of both the radar and the weapon and use it in its proper envelope and your hits will go up dramatically.

What version of DCS are you using first? Second, you seem to be in the wrong directory judging by what I see in that picture. The language directories I see there aren't in my mission directories at all. If you click (or double click the very top folder with the two dots it will take out of that directory all the way back to the beginning of your drive (C:\ I would assume.) Just keep clicking until it wont go any further. Then go to.. C:\ (or whatever your drive is)\Users\{username}\Saved Games\DCS\Missions if you have any missions saved for the directory you had highlighted, it would be in there. If you have any training missions or default missions under each aircraft, they are listed under (your drive) / eagle dynamics/open beta (or whatever version your using)/mods/aircraft/(aircraft name)/missions/ See if you have any listed to begin with

I wanted to say publicly a big THANK YOU to the Iron Mike and Heatblur for getting my issue solved. I know they are swamped and I was just one of many. He/ they worked through out the day today and got me up and going. I hope other who are having problems will get their issues resolved as efficiently. All I can say is be patient with them as they are working as hard as they can. They showed me that today. BTW F14 WOW!! Thanks guys.

Sure hope so. This has been way frustrating and disappointing so far. Will keep this updated.

PM sent.

Been sending emails to Heatblur due to my redeem code apparently not hooking up to my DCS account hence no show on the F14. Only response I got was need open beta. Not sure how that fixes it not being hook to the account but just to be clear I am in open beta so I advised that to them...no answer since. I send a note to DCS, as it may be their issue. Got a reply back... Heatblur cancelled my order (ordered back in October 11 of last year during prepurchase) and talk to them. WT...? I see NO refund to my account, NO correspondence saying we had to cancel it out.... nothing? I still would like to purchase the F14 and think I should still be able to at the pre-purchase price as this wasn't my fault. Heatblur???????????????????????? Never had an issue with anything I have bought from DCS or an other vendor. Why now?

My problem also except bought from Heatblur site

No its not listed. I have a similar issue. Bought it off Heatblur site in October last year. Got email. plugged code into redeem coupon area in DCS in my account page which it accepted. Since then no mention of it being hooked to my account to in module manager in game. Am running current open beta. If anyone has had this same issue and it was resolved please pass info on. Waiting 5 months for this to drop and now doesn't even look like I bought( even though I have all the proof I did) the dang thing. Also I tried to enter code into redeem again and comes back with code already used... well yea I used it!! this sucks

Ok yea that wont help me. :) Hopefully they can figure it out.

May I ask what they told you without you divulging anything private?

Did both of these on the day I bought it and it never showed up on my account under license or anywhere else. I do run open beta and I followed exactly what Sendowl.com email says (still have it) Did what Cobra said back then. Just got email from Heatblur and they said to run open beta to get it to work. mmm ok I didn't tell them that in email but I did say it didn't bind with my account. Round 2 of emails I guess. Just wondering of the is Heatblur issue or ED's?

Same problem as everyone else here also. Bought it on day one, got email with code. put it in redeem coupon area on dcs and it took it but it never registered on my account anywhere. Tried putting it in again and says coupon already used. Anyone got any ideas what is going on?

Thanks everyone so far for your answers. Some of you mentioned turning down DCS settings. Maybe I wasn't too clear on how I did my experiment here. The settings I have on the picture is for NON VR playing of DCS with a track IR etc. I can get good normal frame rates with those setting with my current hardware. When I go to VR, is when I have taken ALL of the DCS settings and ALL of the NVIDIA settings to either off or to their lowest setting possible and is STILL get 30 fps and rarely peaks above 35. I can get those same frame rates with the settings in the picture but notice more pausing and other issues. Headwarp… I didn't do that in Steam VR as I had no idea what that was but I have tried it since. At 100 I still get the same 30 fps and at any lower DCS looks like crap and unplayable. I have been doing all my testing on the A10 instant action mission easy (so Caucasus) Trying to keep the test bed the same for every test. Are there other settings in the steamVR that need tweaking? what about windows mixed reality settings? Again thank for your help. This maybe as one of you mentioned, and I am basically coming to a conclusion that, its a CPU bottle neck, but the numbers just aren't showing me what I have read it should look like.

First of all thanks for reading this and any help would be appreciated. I have search on the forums and tried many things but still seem to come back to the same issues. Here is my problem... I recently upgraded to a RTX 2070 and have an I7-2600 that at least in what I can monitor or tell can get up to 4.1-4.2 ghz. 16G or ram plus large page file on ssd (specs below). My problem I am having is during NON VR flights I have everything set on as the attached picture shows. I get pretty much a locked 60 fps dropping to 47 during hard turns, GPU load 32% , CPU total 55%, highest cores getting 81% briefly but normally averaging about 50-60 with other cores being lower. No issues with the flight at all. Works great other than I expected the GPU to be utilized more than that. What I'm more concerned about is when I go to VR with EVERYTHING turned off, on lowest setting, if they cant be turned off, and all sliders to the left in settings except gamma, I get GPU usage of 35%, CPU of 60 (highest it goes), single core hits 45s at its highest, and get 30fps + or- depending on maneuvers. Understand that this is all done with the Nvidia settings in its control panel being also either all off or on their lowest setting too. Why did I do that? Because even when the Nvidia settings were set to what is listed on these forums as optimal for VR it didn't make a difference in fps in VR. My pixel density in VR settings in DCS is at 1.0 Yes I have done the make sure its in full screen thing, the reload the graphics card drivers thing, check steam VR and set what I could in that though I really have no idea what those are. I'm at a loss. My expectations were I would have a CPU bottle neck due to having an older CPU and expected to have a usage close to 100% and low GPU usage. Unless I am not reading my results correctly I don't see that. Anyone who has any idea or suggestions please comment. I am running a Lenovo Explorer through steam VR and windows mixed reality set up. ALSO temps on everything are very normal (60s to low 70s on CPU max.) Thank you in advance

I am having similar problems and was going to delete this file to see if it would fix it but I cannot find this path or any files. %SAVEDGAMES%\DCS_AJS37 does not exist for me that I can find. Beta version (current)

Any possibility of double binds with other controllers? My rudder pedals do it all the time.

Happens to me also.

Just did a test in free flight and at 16000+ got a lock on building at 11 miles with d model.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure if this helps or hurts but I never opened the comms menu during these flights. Are you saying its a DCS issue Viacom issue or still figuring it out? Thanks.

I have found that I have a clicking sound while flying in the Harrier. One thing I noticed was it seemed to be causing the "growl" of the sidewinder/ sidearm to stop working unless you touched the volume knob that controls the sound for the SW/SA. Once you did that the "growl" would come back on but would go off again once the "click" would happen again. Very had to hear your missiles acquire and lock with the sound constantly being dropped. I was running a separate profile I made in Voice Attack for the Harrier and not the Viacom one. Once I disabled the plug in support and restarted VA the sound went away and the so far the "growl" has been uninterrupted.

I have also found that I had this same clicking sound while flying in the Harrier.

Going to post this to another forum post talking about Viacom pro and maybe it will get a fix.

Never mind on my request. Was a key bind issue not related to Vaicom.
