Found the problem. The problem is I'm an idiot. I was plugging both cables into the bottom where the screen cables go. I forgot the USB-C cable for the MFD goes off to the side. They all work now.

I pulled up the device manager with everything else plugged in and all the device names looked the same. Maybe because they were all plugged into a hub? Maybe I'll try unplugging them all and deleting what is left.

I recently moved, so I had to completely tear down my setup and move it. After setup, I can't get my Winwing MFDs to work. I have the full "top gun MIP" setup, with the UFC, HUD unit, and 3x MFDs w/ displays. The displays are working properly. The MFD portion with the buttons is not responding at all, on any of the 3 MFDs. When I plug them in I don't get a ding from Windows saying a USB device has been plugged in. I've tried moving the cables around. I plugged the USB-C cable from the working UFC unit into the MFD and nothing. I have everything plugged into a powered USB hub. I tried plugging the MFD directly into my computer, still nothing. They don't show up in SimAppPro or in DCS. I tried restarting with them plugged directly into my computer. Still nothing. Any suggestions?

It looks like the pilot and CPG collective were both mapped. I deleted the CPG collective from axis controls and it fixed the problem. Not sure why when I was in the pilot seat after activating george in the CPG seat it would try and use both pilot and CPG collective at once. Hope that makes sense....

When flying around my collective control works perfectly. I can even switch to CPG seat and back and everything is fine. If I open the george menu in the CPG seat and then switch back to pilot, my collective jumps all over the place. I pull up slowly, it goes down, then jumps to full up in the matter of moving the physical control less than a millimeter. I have no idea what is causing it.

My buddy and I were trying multi crew in the 15 and came across a weird issue when using JDAMs (only tried GBU38s so far). From the WSO station I loaded up 6 GBU38s, 3 on each CFT. Set them up on the armament page with a program for all 6 selected, direct, step, N/T. Launch out and program the first target with coordinates from the TPOD. Drop the first bomb no issue. Warheads on foreheads. However, after the first bomb drops it still shows loaded and rdy on the smart weapons page, but it is gone off the A/G delivery page (verified bomb drop with F2 view). After that we can't drop any more smart weapons. Also found it weird the pilot doesn't get any more bomb cues on the HUD, but if I pull the HUD up on one of the WSO MPDs it will show steering lines and drop cues. I tried to talk the pilot on target but it still won't release another bomb. Tried making a new program. Tried rearming. Had to jump in a new jet to fix. Tried a second time and exact same thing happens. Pretty sure this is a bug. Anyone else experience this? I haven't had any issues doing the exact same thing but all from the pilot seat.

I'm guessing you haven't received a response?

Has anyone experienced the smart weapons page locking up? This has occurred twice for me. It happens when I try and xfer seq point from the UFC to the smart weapons page. Once it was a JDAM and once it was a 154A. Once I select the xfer seq pt, the option stays boxed (see picture) and I can't do anything on the smart weapons page. I can't select another station. The coordinates don't transfer. I have tried landing and rearming, but it doesn't fix it. Eventually I just have to jump in a new jet. I don't think it is anything I am doing since I did 3 other JDAMS previously in the same mission and everything worked fine. This is how I am doing it: select my current waypoint on the UFC so I can see the data, input new number waypoint so I can enter coordinates, enter coordinates of target, press data to return to UFC home page, enter my new waypoint to bring up data, enter the waypoint number + decimal to make a target, then select xfer seq pt on the SW page. Any help on why it locks up would be appreciated.

I don't really use the Tpod for designation. I use it to populate the data on the smart weapon page. Just makes it easier for me to edit the data if I can already see what belongs there instead of just a blank box. Then I use the UFC scratch pad to input the target data. Maybe I'll try the method of creating a target point then transferring to the GBU 154.

I have a question about using the AGM 154A with the F15E. I've been trying to use them by inputting coordinates on the ground using the UFC as follows: -Aircraft on ground and running with AGM 154s loaded. -Pull up the smart weapons page and select station with 154A. -Using the Tpod designate a random target and select transfer Tpod. -Select edit mission and use the F10 map to get exact coordinates and altitude of target in the format with 3 decimal places for seconds, ie N55.54.123 E012.34.567. -Select xfer weapon>xfer msn When I do it this way they always get close, within about 100 meters, but never score a kill. I'm trying to use this on long range SAMs because by the time I can usually find them with A2G radar or Tpod I'm too close for AGM 154. Any help would be appreciated.

I just got a simfab DCS setup. Just wondering what people have for monitor setups. I currently have a 32" acer gaming monitor and a quest pro VR. Does VR work well with a pit setup, or does a monitor work better so you can see everything not on the HOTAS controls? For those with a monitor, what is a good size? I was looking at ultrawide gaming monitors, but it seems like the fact that they are not very tall would not be ideal for flight sims. Any input would be appreciated. I'm running a i9-13900KF, RTX 3080, 32GB RAM.

How do I get a dev to look at it? Here is another shorter track where it is easier to see what is going on. Getting FPS dips down to about 30FPS, even though the rest of the time its around 140FPS. I don't understand why it is getting the hard drop offs. It wasn't an issue at all before 2.9. f15e nalcheck sp.trk

F15e sp.trk Here is a track just doing a single player mission. It will be going along fine then just almost act like its going to freeze up and crash. It freezes for about 10-15 seconds. Sometimes it pulls out of it, sometimes I have to exit out of the mission and go back to the main menu.

Yeah, I haven't found any instance of DLSS being on that made things better, so I have it off. I'm running 2D for now until I get that dialed in before diving back into VR. My resolution is 1920x1080. Here is my settings, do you see anything that should be changed? I also included my settings from nvidia control panel. Thanks for the help.

I can't seem to find a good balance between performance and quality. Can someone help me with what settings I should be at based on my hardware? I have updated the 3080 to the newest drivers. Maybe someone with similar setup can share their settings so I can get an idea of where to start and tweak from there? TIA. -Windows 11 Home / i9-13900KF / 32 GB RAM / RTX 3080
