I respect that but I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Difrnt strokes for difrnt folks...

But that doesn't address the issue. I have all the official manuals as well as Chuck's but taking the VR headset off is a PITA especially because I have prescription lenses for the VR and I'm blind as a bat without my glasses. Module makers should provide a more complete list of tutorials. Yeah, it's a drain on resources for them but I reserve my right to bitch.

Like this? I'm looking at the Quest 3 because of the passthrough. A friend just got one and says that it could probably be done looking at the 'Tube displayed on a monitor. I have 2 monitors and 2 PCs so I could display the 'Tube on a monitor on the second machine while in VR / Game on the other machine.

It's difficult to try and remember what is said on a YouTube tutorial once I'm back in the game. Is there some way to switch back and forth from the 'tube to the game and back while in VR? Specifically WMR Reverb G2... (yeah, I know all about Windows about to brick it). Virtual desktop? Any other solution? Many of the DCS modules are lacking complete tutorial missions. The F-16 for example, which I'm currently trying to learn, has nothing on Radar. The one on the AIM9 just says to RTFM (in more polite terms... but still the same thing .

This is a simple program that's supposed to prevent feature updates while still allowing security updates. https://www.grc.com/incontrol.htm

I found the answer in the changelog for Oct. 19, 2023 NEW: Cinematic Camera View - Right Control + F2. In combination with the mouse, the WASD keys can be used to move the camera forward, back, and laterally, and the Q and E keys can move the camera up and down.

DISREGARD... I found this in the Oct. 19, 2013 changelog: NEW: Cinematic Camera View - Right Control + F2. In combination with the mouse, the WASD keys can be used to move the camera forward, back, and laterally, and the Q and E keys can move the camera up and down.

As the title says. Is this an update "Feature"? If so, please bring back what used to be. This really makes composing good screenshots difficult. I'm talking about "Truck" and "Pedestal" movements as shown below.

Is there no answer to this? When / why did this happen? Really makes external screenshots setup difficult! Talking about "Truck" and "Pedestal" movements.

Bumping...

As a winner in both the B-17 and Mosquito competitions, I must say that I take offense to this comment. I spent many, many hours on the skins that I submitted and am proud of what I produced. Yes, I would have preferred roughmets to be applied to the B-17 and @NineLine did push for them to be included, but the ED team decided not to do so. I assume that they did not want to allot the programming time to what is an AI only aircraft. I accepted that. @Warlord64 did come up with a good workaround by editing the B-17 json file. There were many stellar skins submitted in both these competitions by some talented skinners. EDIT: It seems that the original post regarding all of this has been deleted. I'm not clear as to what the actual issue is but I hold all of those posting about "ED's livery policy" in the highest esteem. I just take exception to @thepod's statement about being "head and shoulders" above the lowest common denominator of skinners.

InControl will block feature updates like 24H2 while still allowing security updates... for a while at least. https://www.grc.com/incontrol.htm

Perhaps a class action lawsuit is in the future.

As I said in Edit in my original post, I wasn't getting explanation text when hovering the mouse cursor. Now that it's working they make more sense to me. Thank you for your taking the time to post their meanings.

And maybe call them "Spotting Smears" instead of "Dots".

Umm... sorry but look at the OP's handle. Maybe that explains the comment about gunners.

Please make the text that is displayed in game when you hover the mouse cursor over a "clickable" control match the text that is in in the controls mapping. They often are completely different and make it very difficult when first trying to learn a particular module.

Please make a sticky for each module that explains what the most current settings actually do. I ran in to this problem in the F-14 which I have just started on. Everything that I could find was outdated.

I've done my due diligence and searched for this in both Google and the forums but all I can find is outdated. This is not uncommon in many modules as updates happen. I think there should be a sticky with the current selections with explanations of what each checkbox means for each DCS module. Can someone please tell me what each selection means? EDIT: When I posted this, I was not getting the explanation window opening when I hovered over the selection. Still, an expanded text of each selection within a forum topic with pros and cons would be most welcome.

Adding this link...

Well, maybe not but it no longer matters to the pilot floating down in his / her 'chute! I hope that you realize it was a feeble attempt at a joke...

I'm new to the A-10 and would like to be able to delete markpoints as well. Add me to the wishers. (I did find one button set that did erase ALL markpoints... L Ctrl + E )

This is on a Virpil CM3 Throttle but the idea should work on any Mini-stick. Having messed around with sensitivity / curves in both the VPC Config software and DCS controls I just couldn't get a good sweetspot. Then I thought about how much a stick extension on my joystick improved the overall feel and thought, "why not an extension for the Mini-stick as well?" I didn't want to damage the existing stick and tried several contraptions using flat head screws, dowels, etc. attached with electrical tape or double stick tape, all of which were not secure enough. I found this cap on a tube of antiseptic cream and remembered that I had some large heat-shrink tubing and came up with this idea. It works great! I'm able to slew precisely to a target at full zoom but still can move the cursor quickly at wide FOV. Maybe someone can come up with a plastic printable version that either snaps on or screws on over the OD of the button.

Another RL Private Pilot here and I agree with the other comments that it's not possible to trim for unlimited hands off flight. The issue with the 'Hog is the over sensitive roll control. There must be an adjustment somewhere in a lua to tone it down. Anyone know where this might be?

@Flappie Thanks for the info but I had already done as noted above and have only repopulated the following folders: Config, Kneeboard, Liveries, Mission Editor and Missions. I also created an empty Mods folder. I'm enabling mods from OVGME one at a time and so far, none have issues. It worked... no more crashes and I have lost none of my settings. It looks like I had some problematic folders / files in there, for example: Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Bazar\shaders\model\functions which contained the file "glass.hlsl". I have no idea where that came from. Maybe a reminant on one of the "Clear Glass" mods. Anyway, I'm just happy for no more crashing.
