woohoo! finally

in my case, i had to get used to the depress activation at the beginning to get it right without inadvertently activating any of the other functions. seems ok now. other than that, no issues. you could try clicking that button several times in all directions, and maybe it gets better, if this is just kind of a "factory-fresh-part" issue.

maybe a ministick would better suit your needs? https://www.google.de/search?q=analog+gamepad+thumbstick

wow, man! this looks like the smartest thing to do, when using VR!! thanks for sharing the STL files.

ok, here are some trackfiles. i've had this issue for the longest time, and still am unable to figure out what's happening. tried to keep the tracks as short as possible, but i thought it also had to be a native mission, so anyone could hopefully repro the issue. i'm using the PG "Airfield VFR Landing" mission. use time accel, if you wish. trackfiles: *FULL: issue during full shutdown procedure according natops (hopefully) *SD: issue during quick shutdown on ground *INFLIGHT: issue during cutoff inflight *ok: NO issue, but sometimes AC bus unpowered (please excuse the slomo mouse action -i am currently having some problems with the mouse responsiveness) some conclusions based on this and my previous experience in the sim: 1) the issue seems to arise about 50% of the time, and only once per mission (track #8 clearly shows this) 2) inflight left engine cutoff results in the AC bus being unpowered about 50% of the time (DDIs blank); the rest of the time the bus remains powered. 3) despite the consistency in the issue appearing as advertised per track file during playback, 1) and 2) above seem to happen spuriously, when taking over at the beginning of any track. hope that helps cheers hilok f18-shutdown-LGEN 1 FULL.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 2 SD.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 3 ok.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 4 SD.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 5 ok.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 6 ok.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 7 ok.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 8 INFLIGHT.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 9 ok.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 10 INFLIGHT.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 1 FULL.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 2 SD.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 3 ok.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 4 SD.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 5 ok.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 6 ok.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 7 ok.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 8 INFLIGHT.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 9 ok.trk f18-shutdown-LGEN 10 INFLIGHT.trk

ok, so here it goes :D : o another tab logging all radio messages word by word (not abbreviated), and also all mission text messages. this would not only allow going back to any previously given information, but also help catching text-only messages one would otherwise miss with the option HIDE ON-SCREEN TEXT selected. ​​​o the voice command list (right side of kneeboard) comes in very handy, but i haven't figured out the sorting criteria yet. it would be superb, if this list could show only contextually relevant voice commands. again, super great addition to VAICOM! and i hope the suggested features would make it maybe even better. cheers hilok

the problem seems to arise with any type of target designation and any kind of lasing. in my case WPDSG and/or JTAC lasing. added a test mission. it is based on ciribob's JTAC script example mission, which i modified slightly (mainly because it didnt work for me in first place, before reading that thread). there are two JTACs active, one using code 1666, the other one 1777, weapons unlimited. comms menu>other provides all required info. very easy to repro: - go into orbit, SPD 230 - master mode A/G, config your mavs, STA 2,3: code 1777 | STA 7,8: code 1666 - HSI>WPDSG waypoint 1 - fly towards target area - SOI MAV format (uncage): X tracks laser, but no cube symbol - undesignate: tadaa! cube symbol ciribob JTAC Test-Day.miz

good job! this thing is getting even better with every update :thumbup:

hey hollywood, what a great addition not only to vaicom, but also to the whole game! thanks for that. now i can finally get rid of those captions without missing anything :thumbup: do you think there is any way that we could click the kneeboard tabs using the mouse in the future?

that already exists: https://www.xflight.de/pe_org_doc.htm

thanks a lot for sharing this! :thumbup:

good to know, thanks :thumbup:

good point! actually the flight idle stop COULD be somehow reproduced on a TM WTG using a detent inset, such as the ones Debolestis is producing...one drawback could be however that during taxi one would constantly have to push the throttles back and forth over that idle detent, i imagine.

awesome! thanks a lot, man :thumbup:

thanks for this awesome piece of work! could you please tell me, if the process that makes the campaign persistent could interfere with other dynamic / persistent campaigns, such as liberation or persian power? thanks

hi zakk, thank you for putting this great list together. i would like to try some of these, and was wondering, if the campaigns could conflict with one another. i mean, can they only be run exclusively or is it possible to switch between different running campaigns? thanks hilok

i also share the view that the flight model should always come first, before implementing more avionics systems, and definitely before working on any weapons. zero flaps take-off and rudder authority have already been mentioned. and maybe power approach behavior should also be reviewed. no rant, no whining either, just a statement : ) cheers hilok

thanks for doing this awesome hotas guide! if you dont mind, here are some suggestions: o FLIR: NWS x2 switches VVSLV / snowplow o FLIR: throttle thumbwheel -> zoom o ATTK RDR: throttle thumbwheel -> elevation o SCS depress: manual IFF interrogation (for the time being SA & ATTK RDR) o TDC depress required during cursor slew in some circumstances, mainly weapon seeker slew, i think; maybe that could also be indicated? -just a suggestion from the top of my head using your symbology: TDC depress - as is TDC slew - remove triangle, add bold circle line TDC depress & slew - both above anyway, just some thoughts. cheers

hey, thanks a lot or this! :thumbup:

haha :lol: so true! i'm just happy it's finally in there :thumbup:

uhhh really?? great news! :thumbup:

great stuff :thumbup: big thanks khopa & all contributors !

have you identified the mod(s) causing the issue? i am suspecting as well a mod causing my JHMCS to disfunction from time to time. haven't been able to identify which one for sure though...wondering, if hornet skins could cause the problem, but couldn't reproduce the issue with certainty. that's why i am asking. thanks

great posts, swift & harker ! +1 to make it sticky :thumbup: this pleeeease !

exactly this. there's not gonna be an F-15 or anything else from razbam for me, until the harrier debacle isn't sorted out.
