    Welcome to the Thread. I'm a big fan of DiCE, and I'll check out your other stuff to be sure.

    You can also download version.txt from the OP. You'll have to download everything again, but it should work.

    The technique I use (demonstrated with the compact install in the F-86 link) is to have a shared texture folder and create unique filenames for each file. This way, any shared textures can be called by any description.lua (e.g. P47_xxxSqn_back.dds), and any skins with variations will have unique names that are also called by description lua (e.g. P47_xxxSqn_front_homefries.dds or P47_xxxSqn_front_callsign.dds). There are two things that need to be done for this to work: add the path of the texture folder to Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg like so (if you don't have autoexec.cfg, create it): table.insert(options.graphics.VFSTexturePaths, c:/Users/username/Saved Games/DCS/Textures") Note that the slashes are forward slashes, not backslashes. Set the logic flag in the texture line of description.lua to true. False looks for the texture within the existing folder, while true looks for it in the path (including the line you added to autoexec.cfg). If you're looking to distribute these skins to others, you can do what I did in my autoexec.cfg: usersgpath = os.getenv('USERPROFILE') --determines user's path for Saved Games folder -- add custom texture path table.insert(options.graphics.VFSTexturePaths, usersgpath .. "/Saved Games/DCS/Textures") This will take the default user path (e.g. c:/Users/username) and assign it to the value usersgpath. (i.e. "user saved games path") Then usersgpath is concatenated with the /Saved Games/DCS/Textures folder for the path where DCS will look for your custom textures. Hope this helps.

    I just use Notepad++ with the Compare plugin.

    I can't promise that they will be compatible with Bailey's VA profiles; I try to keep the default keystrokes intact and add others, but sometimes I need to change default ones. I have, however, made the profile compatible with VAICOM Pro, and in fact it integrates quite well.

    All, I just had to replace the router on the server. This also means I had to update the dynamic DNS. To update to the new DNS, Go into the CTS\DB folder and open up the version.txt file in Notepad Globally replace the string mynetgear.com with tplinkdns.com Alternatively, you can download the version.txt in the original post, copy it to your CTS\DB folder, then just re-download everything. This should fix any issues until I can update the installer.

    On the F/A-18 and AV-8B, the undesignate function is sensitive based on whether the logical gear state is up or down (i.e. be sure to use the HOTAS to cycle the landing gear). If the logical gear state is down, the NWS button is always held to allow for the tighter steering. However, when the logical gear state is up and you only need to tap S3, it is TEMPO'd so that you always press the modifier, but S3 Short performs NWS/Undesignate. The trick to this is: Make sure your logical gear state is "up". You can verify this if the LMFD Right LED is out. Hold down S3 when doing your recenter (i.e. don't tap it). This will not actuate the NWS/Undesignate function. Please try the server again.

    Version 2.54 is released! This version gives a lot of love to the F-16, and picked up some steam to fix bugs and enhance other profiles as well. Change Log: Added Spacebar (mission trigger activation) to CommState H2U Long. Set SRS Overlay command to PULSE to prevent rapid toggling. F-14: Added Target Size switch to RIO RMFD. MiG-15/L-39/JF-17: Removed flashing LED for manually held airbrake to improve profile stability. F/A-18C/AV-8B: Added "-1" parameter to DF/Boat Switch as Master Mode Select to force off for VR or 0 MFD users. F/A-18C: Added custom keypress and delay between keypress values to better enable consistent button actuation. F-16C: Fixed numerous keybindings. Replaced default Show/Hide Stick binding (backspace) with RShift+Backspace to deconflict with ICP Recall. Added discrete on/off commands for Sensor Power on RMFD and added EHSI Mode to LMFD. Added Hide/Show Stick to S3+S1 Short (Long for Canopy). Not applicable to VR. Added External Lighting to MFD3 and improved External Lighting Switch logic on the Warthog Throttle. JF-17: Remapped Antenna Elevation axis as slider. Added digital clock controls, moved Backup Sights and FCS Reset on LMFD. P-47D: Replaced magneto with discrete Weapon Safety Switch on LMFD. Added stylized MFD inserts

    I posted something similar back in 2013 (a post which is unfortunately no longer accessible). The gist of the logic was as follows: The door gunner position doesn't appear to require any gauges or cockpit textures not already present with the 3D model itself, so there may not be a need to download the module itself. People who know they want to fly the Huey will have already paid for it (even more true today than in 2013). People who want a taste of it can do so for free, and ED will likely increase their sales when people get a taste of Huey greatness. People who just wanted a Call of Duty experience as a door gunner were unlikely to purchase the UH-1 in the first place, so this would be unlikely to prevent sales or have any opportunity cost. Now the only curveball is that the slots for CP and both gunners are interchangeable in MP. Implementing this would further complicate the MP logic (e.g. requiring a copilot to already slot in before enabling DG positions for free users), and that might be more work than it's worth, especially with the frequent sales ED has.

    Guys, I noticed the same thing. I have Win 10 Pro (US English only). I haven't tested it beyond the F-16, but what I have tested has backed up the OP. I have also used LALT+LSHIFT combinations without trouble using keys other than H.

    No. The code is read into the stack regardless of whether the module is enabled.

    There is really nothing wrong with selecting every module, even if you don't have every module. This is mainly a convenience feature to filter the database options and profile selection to make things easier. I don't see any point in having sets; if you have the module, select the module.
  15. Home Fries
    Are you getting stack issues? In general, I don't recommend commenting things out because I often share routines across modules. Unless of course you just mean selecting modules that you have in the GUI, which is what is intended all along.
  16. Home Fries
    Doubtful. I have reduced stack usage by commenting out obsolete routines, so that leads me to believe that it's the code available, and not the code in use.

    You can fly multiplayer between steam and standalone, so no limiting factor.

    Makes perfect sense. BD also showed how to despawn friendly/spawn enemy in Raven One, so this is both a simple and elegant way to keep the training environment. Bullets, smoke, and explosions are bonus!

    Not huge on the warbirds either, but I do enjoy the P-47 and I'll definitely give Wolfpack a go. Also looking forward to Zone 5 and Fear the Bones; the Tomcat is my favorite bird in DCS by far!

    +1.

    After a patch and before loading DCS, launch VAICOM Pro. This will make the adjustments to the comms files required for proper VAICOM use.

    With exception of SSw Left (which as you indicated uses LShift+Y), all SSw directions should use LAlt, not LWIN. I remapped from LWIN even before DCS 1.5.8. I also confirmed that the TARGET AV8B kb v253N.diff.lua and TARGET AV8B kb v253R.diff.lua files are correct. Be sure you add the keyboard diff.luas as well as the one for the HOTAS. If you're getting LMENU instead of LAlt, that might be something else entirely, but the code is correct. That's in the weeds, especially with Hat3 that calls a subroutine. Just. Don't. Go. There. Thank you!

    Oh the other thing is that TriggerZoom is disabled while the logical gear state is down. This is to prevent inadvertent zooming while on final.

    Everyone, The server should be back up. Please post if you still have any update issues.

    @DaveMoi I tested your configuration with both the Warthog stick/TQS throttle as well as my cougar stick on the WH base. Everything checked out. There is one exception that you should know regarding VR: since you use VR, the NWS button (S1) defaults to VR Zoom. S3+S1 does the NWS functionality for VR users. There is no canopy cycle mapping for VR.
