---THIS IS A CROSSPOST FROM HERE-- Ok So when the JetSeat is connected I tend to get those weird TrackIR disconnected/TrackIR connected messages. I've narrowed it down to the Jetseat, for some reason DCS sees it also as a Joystick and a TrackIR device (if I unplug the Jetseat also the trackIR device disappears in game). I Use Opentrack as an alternative to TrackIR, which might be the issue (will try an update it now) and Opentrack also has the jetseat in the joysticks available to use as input for headtracking (although that is usually inactive when I play DCS, which I do mostly in VR)... So, I don't think the issue is generated by Jetseat, SimShaker at all, but more likely by Opentrack, or DCS detecting the jetseat as an input device. I just wanted to know if there's anybody else experiencing the same issue?

Resurrecting this as I just played it for the first time and had TONS of fun in 15 minutes... :D Good one, poor chap wingman was shot down. He was not listening...

Hello, impressive stuff, especially considered luamacros and hidmacros failed me... plus the ease of use of this software is amazing! Now, when sending something 'composite' like 3 rC-Home Right engine start in the example, all I get sent to DCS is the first modifier (e.g. rC- no home no nothing after that) C-W-A would send just the first LCTRL. I have Win10x64, the X-55, MFD Cougar and nothing else that could interfere, I believe... This is just in the DCS settings->controls screen, when I do testing in Saitek's HUD software or in game every keypress passes as intended! Impressive work!

Yeah fiddling with gain and level works, gain 7-8 and lvl 5-7 day and a couple of clicks lower at night is what does it for me. Still, trees and terrain should not appear whiter (or blacker) than a running tank or a man, especially at night. You can be as good a shot as you want and like this sim as much as you want (as much as I do), but TGP's thermal vision is still bugged... Sent from mobile, please excuse any typos.

True, although I still feel uncomfortable with that approach. And, it still doesn't fix the glowing hot terrain/trees at night...

Now that's good news, will happily donate on the new version. I have lost too many hours trying to move my stuff around.

Heard that thing about drawing fire, that doesn't really sound right to me. Why risk a multi-million jet AND your life performing stunts? I would not be so sure that would be an acceptable TTP IRL. Generally people tend to prefer standoff range/weapons. Also, the RWR triangulation is a nice method, time consuming but nice. Again, IRL I suspect AWACS would help providing directions to threats in the area - possibly target prioritization or a AFAC kind of capability, relieving pilots from having to find their targets. ...aaaand, I have installed Barthek's mod (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=132444) and that kind of fixes it. I believe the alpha channel or whatever ED is using for the terrain textures needs to be revised...

True Story. I find the glowing, hot terrain patches rather annoying. Also, trees seem to be hotter than a running tank... Sent from mobile, please excuse any typos.

AFAIK the project is kill. RIP. see here http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=138924&highlight=ultra+MFCD&page=87

Has this been fixed yet? I am still having it.

I can't install the training missions because of a bug with the dcs_updater.exe (windows tells me it can't find the bin/dcs_updated.exe... Is there any way to get them on manually??

Has there been ANY solution to this? is there any way to manually install the missions??

Sorry to resurrect this, but I (always had) have a problem with the updater... when I try to run it from within DCS interface it just freezes everything and gives mee a windows error message: windows cannot find 'bin/dcs_updater.exe' etc... Is there a way to manually re-install the missions?

Erm... after the update I don't see the reticle anymore... I just updated... am I doing anything wrong? Also the mouse aim seems not to be working...

the same happens to me, using FacetrackNOIR. Either I start the game with the IR tracking system completely off (e.g. the software not running), then I can control guns and 2nd pilot flex sight with the mouse, else I am stuck with the tracking system or nothing...

Well it made a difference to me. Meaning the autoupdater did not work, I had to uninstall and renistall everything...

Confirm

What is this precision mode you're speaking about? Never heard...

Exactly as a cyclic would work for fixed wing in real life: rubbish... You can still manage but an X52 off eBay at 50GBP does a better job. You're quite right. No return spring. It is floppy...

Cyclic collective and pedals was around 1300 when I got it. I'm not sure now with the improved version. Might as well try and write to them if you're interested. They're a cracking bunch, and give excellent customer support when needed...

Oh gosh... No, I've got proper collective And what I'm fiddling with it's the controls settings...

Hi Flyer 49!! Thanks for tuning in! So the collective should be mapped as? Slider or not?

that is unchecked...

They are calibrated, it is just a little lag when I click the "FLY" button, it takes half a second for the controller to come "alive". There are no other controls installed on the system (i.e. no virtual joysticks or other physical devices...)
