Yeah, reading his post I would have to agree. Hopefully he'll drop by and respond. Thanks BTW, I noticed your location.. I'm apparently your neighbor.

I understand that. My question: did he copy and use the x64 DLL's that are in that folder Thanks

Humvee, Are you using the 64x or the 32x version of the SweetFX DLL's? Thanks.

Great! I'll give it a go. Thanks.

Thanks HumVee. Question.. I assume you're using the latest version of SweetFX. How did you install it in DCS?

Thinking about installing SweetFX in World and was curious if anyone has SweetFX installed and would share their settings.

There's a Readme document in the download that contains the installation instructions. Note that each time the P-51 is updated via autoupdate, the mod will have to be reinstalled.

Outstanding work Hueyman! I don't know who Valentin is but I hope he's part of the development team and things will move quickly from this point. Correcting the rotor tilt may however put a cramp in my habitual backward flight at pick-up :joystick:

Heloguy, Guilty of a fat finger but if your questioning if I can find my rectal lamp, well that's my business. :cry: Lerenzoj and Flankerone, Thanks for the help and the picture link. I deleted my saved games keyboard.lua but the only key binding I find is the RShift M to deploy the pilot sight. Nothing to adjust intensity, range or to turn the lam on/off. Can either of you post those key bindings? Thanks.

Hey Guys, I've figured out how to deploy the Pilot's sight and found the intensity and range adjustments (on the sight at least). I can't seem to find the switch that lights the rectile lamp. Anybody had success in turning on the rectile lamp? Also, I can't seem to find key bindings for range, intensity or rectile lamp for the Pilot sight. Found the key binding that deploy the sight but came up empty otherwise. Thanks for the help.

BBall, Enjoyed your video. Looks like the 229th crew are having fun. If I ever decide to fly on-line, I'll surely knock on their door. Take care.

Leroy1964, FWIW, I too desire more immersive campaigns and missions for the Huey. Regarding the Vietnam experience, BBall did an outstanding job in capturing at least a sliver of the Huey in operation in Nam in his video (see http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=109084&highlight=bball But the immersion factors we long for, particularly those that are graphically oriented, are either 1) outside the capability of the sim's graphic engine, at least at this point, and/or 2) require hours of mission development work (ala BBall's effort) to produce. Something that the development team is not going to fund or spend time on unless there's a revenue stream at the end of the effort. I suppose one could build missions using the current inventory of objects and scenery in the game that would approach hot LZ landings or medivacs. There may even be terrain in the game that would simulate at least a heavily wooded environment. But Vietnam? I don't think so. I think we'll just have to hope for an enterprising mission builder who shares our desire for "true" immersion.

As Wreaking Crew mentioned, the TIR Pro Clip affixes to the headband of a headset and is wired to a USB port. That tether drove me nuts while using the Pro Clip and I finally shelved the Pro clip and returned to the hat clip. A year ago, Natural Point claimed they were coming out with a wireless (battery powered) version of the Pro Clip but I've seen nothing as of yet. Anyhow, I have no problem using the hat clip but I also agree that the Pro Clip gives a little better tracking. If the wireless version ever becomes a reality, I'll probably switch to that.

Have about 5 hours logged now and still fighting landing the beast. :joystick:

You're welcome. Now go kill something :smilewink:

Let's eliminate a control option problem: Delete the DCS Folder that's in C:\Users\(Your user name)\Saved Games Restart the game and test TIR function (Note: the game will recreate the DCS folder ,, you won't lost anything.)

Ok, you've proven the symptom, not the problem. Others, including myself, have no problems after the update and have posted here saying that. See my questions in my post prior to his one.

Ok, what Options are selected in the Options menu, specifically in Controls (KA50 Game vs. KA50 Sim) and in the Gameplay tab (Sim or Game)? Edit: Don't understand what a windowed mode would prove. You've already established that TIR is not operable for other than the Arcade mission. That mssion proves that DCS KA50 is seeing the TIR. If the configuration is set correctly, there is no reason that the other missions from the same module would not see the TIR. You've eliminated a bad update/corrupt file by repairing DCS and reinstalling KA50. Have you deleted the DCS folder under saved games? Did you verify that you're flying with Sim control options and the game is set to Sim under gameplay options? I think the problem is config related..just don't know where.

Ionic, He mentions that the TIR software can see the trackclip movement and his camera lights are both green. On TIR 5, green lights indacate everything is OK. For some reason, in Sim mode the camera does not see the trackclip. In Game mode, TIR is operating as it should. I can't think of any reasoin this should be happening but I suspect he has a configuration problem when switching between Game and Sim modes.

When you refer to "Arcade" mode, what specifically are you selecting in the Options menu? What are you selecting (if anything) in the Options menu when you run one of the problem missions?

The mod is working fine for me also.

I checked the Download section of the main website and the upgrade version for BS2 is still there. You can try a re-install and see if that clears it up. Or, try to run a "repair" out of the start menu.

Damien, Just tried both Free Flight and Attack Insurgents missions and my TIR 5 is working in both. Do you have a key mapped to temporarily disable TIR tracking and if so have you checked that? Don't know what to tell you otherwise. JJohnson241

You do the same BBall. Enjoyed our chat here. Consider making another video.. you certainly have the knack. Happy 4th!

BBall, I see (by peaking at your Profile picture) that you're an aviator. I envy you. Always wanted to learn to fly but never pulled the trigger. Regarding the ARVN, we were never confortable when ARVN units were on our flank or "had our back". Enough said. Lastly, please pass along to your son my appreciation for his service and my wish for a great career as an Army officer. Your pride is well deserved.
