Excellent! Thank you! I'll give it a go and post back here.

Hi all, I'm finally getting into the Viggen, but I have been struggling on NTTR. I can not always input the Lat/Long because the numbers are longer than the computer can take (sometimes 7 numbers when you can only input 6). Is there a way to deal with this? Thanks, Tom

Edited it with their website. For some reason the YouTube links don't seem to be working.

Hi all, Someone shared this with me on another forum and it looks fantastic - and appears to work. They're hoping to release soon. This looks so much more practical than Oculus Touch controllers, or the Vive equivalent, and would finally remove the mouse from the Sim while using VR. This would make a huge difference to what is already incredibly immersive sim. http://www.sensoryx.com/ (For some reason the YouTube links don't seem to be working) Being able to flip the switches or twiddle the dials with your fingers seems far more desirable than having to reach out, find the mouse, move the mouse and then click a switch or dial. VR just cries out for something more. I really hope ED can find a way to get support for this into DCS World, if they do then there will be nothing like it.

While I get where Bignewy is coming from, whether I entirely agree with the delivery is another matter, I think Phil is ultimately right in the engagement approach. I think the ED know that people are always keen for more, but at the same time do not want to disappoint by promising too much too soon. We've all seen what happens when a developer does that (in any sim, not naming any names!) people get disgruntled in one way or another. So a newsletter outlining where things are up to, within reason, so for example: January 2018 Newsletter: We're working on X, Y & Z this month but the work that we were carrying out on V has overrun as we've encountered bugs with something or other. Aircraft X Progress on Aircraft X is going well with the flight model finished and the cockpit completed. We're now doinfg this, that and the other. Terrain B ... Developer C report Developer D report I think you get the idea. At the moment it does mostly seem to be news about sales. Whereas I think people want to know what is happening to the Spitfire and it's clipped wing variant or whether or not it will ever be able to carry bombs. Not setting a date for completion necessarily (unless there is one in mind or it is an announcement) so that people are not getting hopes up that it will be in less than two weeks. You know you'll get the innevitable "2 weeks be sure" comments. they're standard now. It just stops rumours and fear-mongering and keeps people engaged. We're all keen customers for the product, some more so than others, but you've got a community that is clammouring for more all the time. You'll almost certainly neer keep up with demand but feeding a few snppets on a monthly basis - or fortnightly! - would probably save more than half of the questions that you get and keep people happy. It won't please everyone, there will always be someone that wants the F/A-18C yesterday, but the policy of it takes as long as it takes still stands. I think a little reform or adaption here and there to keep customers more satisfied is never a bad thing; unless you're the one that has to do the extra work!

Because that is how it is in the aircraft...I don't want to press a button when there is a lever in the aircraft.

Mosquito FB VI is a MUST have aircraft, along with the Hawker Typhoon. Can't have a representation of Normandy without the Typhoon.

So the Thrust Vectoring nozzles will have an axis to assign? Excellent news! I really don't want to do that with buttons - CH Throttle Quadrant will be kept busy! Can we have an Axis for Landing Gear too, please?

When people are talking quarters are you on about Financial Year or Calendar Year? If it's financial then you've got to the end of December!

Even though I am unable to deactivate the modules because I can't get to the module manager?

Hi all, My PC crashed during the update, while it was installing the Assets Pack. Since then I have not been able to run 1.5.7. 2.1 still runs fine. I want to uninstall 1.5 and start again but I am concerned that in doing so I will use yet another activation for each module. Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks, Tom

Is there any news regarding a fix for this or am I only able to join servers without the Integrity Check enabled for the time being?

Check your six, keep a constant lookout and try not to bleed off all of your energy in one go. That's the starting point. Then get to know how your aircraft will respond in different situations, heights, and loadouts. Put it all together and you'll be in a pretty good position :)

I'd rather Oculus Home could be turned on and off like TrackIR. I don't see the need to have Oculus Home running even when I am not using it. It's an annoying system, but I have at least finally got the work around so that DCS doesn't launch in VR overtime so I can go straight to the mission editor and get on with things.

I've never had it before, been flying fine up until last night when I couldn't join any servers and no one could join me when I hosted. It was a bit of a surprise really.

Ok, thanks for getting back to me. I'm guessing there is no way around it, unless integrity check is turned off?

Hi guys, All sound great. I'll check them all out. It's been a manic weekend and I've not been able to get near to DCS until tonight, when I got an integrity check problem out of nowhere that's stopping me joining any servers, so need to work that one out (no mods installed at all). I'll post back when I've decided :) Thanks again guys! Tom

I'm getting a similar problem. I've got no mods, none. This is happening in 2.1.1 and I'm not sure why as I can't find the file Textures\Flame_14 has anyone else has this? I've run the repair process twice and it says everything is fine.

Thanks, I'll check out the website shortly :)

Thanks for that, unfortunately the flying nights (Friday) isn't one I would be able to make and their recruitment page says that they are not recruiting at this time. Sounds really good though and the kind of thing that I am looking for otherwise :)

~S~ All, I've been a member of a Squad for some time, playing Cliffs of Dover, but I am looking for a group to join for DCS. While my squad has made the occasional trip over to DCS there is no real interest in it from them - with more of an inclination to Battle of Stalingrad. I'm looking to start from scratch and learn proper procedures and rule for DCS, I have a wide range of modules (pretty much all but the C-101). I enjoy helicopters as well as fast jets and WW2. I'm in the UK, with set evenings that I can be online Monday 20:00 - 22:00 Thursday 20:00 - 22:00 Sunday 20:00 - 22:00 They can maybe get extended to 23:00, but the start time is less flexible as I get to put my twin 10 month old daughters to bed, though sometimes I can get on at 19:30. Other evenings are out, for the time being. I have TS3, and have been able to run my own server for some time, I have the L-39 as well if I am required to do a check-flights etc with multi-crew. List of Modules: Maps: NTTR Normandy Georgia Aircraft: P-51D Spitfire LF Mk IXc Bf109K Fw190D-9 F-86 Sabre Mig-15Bis Mig-21Bis FC3 Mirage 2000C F-5E L-39C & ZA Hawk A-10C Helicopters: UH-1H Huey Gazelle Mi-8 Hip Ka-50 Blackshark I am willing to install simple radio and have a fully working mic and headset as well as OR, so comms is no problem (though I only speak English!) I look forward to hearing from you! Tom/'O.D'

It all works well, perfect. Thank you!

Brilliant! Thank you very much!!! Reply sent!

Thanks for that! I'll be honest, I have no idea what I am doing with those files, but I can make a copy of it first just in case!

Hi all, Is it possible to assign buttons to the countermeasures panel that is just in front of the collective? The panel where you can select whether flares come out of the left/right fast/slow/singly? I've got the collective controls sorted, but I would like to have the other panel assigned on my Warthog TMS. Thanks, Tom
