I love these skins, @uscstaylor. Mine stopped working with the 2.7 release. Is that a coincidence for me, or does the mod need to be updated? I've tried loading into both the saved game Bazar/Liveries/e-2c directory and the main game as well. Love to have the screwtops back. Nevermind .... some sort of mess up on my part. I re-installed and it is working again. Thanks for some great skins!

@Taz1004, is this now obsolete with 2.7?

@Taz1004 - thank you SO much for all your efforts on this (and all your other) mod! You make DCS better for so many people. A sincere thank you, Sir!

Yeah, I spent the better part of an hour the other day trying to figure out what changed on my machine. The mic worked for everything except VA. Super frustrating. Thank goodness someone on the VA forums had the same problem and posted the solution. Not sure I would have thought to disable the oculus inputs w/o that guidance. +1 for the interwebs!

Adding my support for this feature.

I had this issue earlier in the week. Turned out to be an Oculus issue. Not sure the technical reasons, but VA just wouldn't recognize my mic and had the red mic symbol ... I went into windows sound devices and disabled the oculus and rift mic input. Poof, VA working again. I found this fix on the VA forum BTW.

Labor of love. Looks incredible.

I had no idea about the Viacom tool. I will have to check it out. Thanks!! For me, VR is a game changer ... and its only getting better with DCS updates and the hardware vendors pushing the technology. The feeling of "being there", for me, blows away the 2D experience - even with the higher fidelity resolutions. For the OP, I use VoiceAttack exclusively. If you haven't already done so, find Bailey's Voice Attack profile for your aircraft (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/search/?tags=Bailey). I fly the Hornet. His VA profile is outstanding. I've been using it for 5 months and found very few opportunities to add/change. The profile is daunting, so it will take time to absorb and get used to... As for training yourself around HOTAS button layout, I put together custom kneeboards for quick access. Although the images have changed for me since I originally put together, it gives you an Idea of what I initially mapped and how the kneeboard looked. Whenever I needed a quick reminder on buttons, I simply said "KNEEBOARD" and my cheat sheet appeared. When I built the Kneeboard, I put the entire HOTAS layout on a single page.

I should have also added my thanks! A sincere thanks for spearheading this on our behalf, @BIGNEWY. ED, thanks for being willing to consider our desires and change the encryption on this table/file.

This mod is now working with the latest patch (2.7.0.4625)

Awesome! Thanks for reporting.

Doesn't look like his airframe is showing up in the loadout window.

I like that approach with the removable grips, @Sokol1_br. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks @norman99. I tried that before posting above. No dice. Now maybe I am doing something wrong in the ME... anything is possible. I go back to my initial comment - "this shouldn't be that hard..." So ... I went back and looked at my mission file again. Thanks Norman99, your response got me thinking. ID-Ten-T issue with my triggers. Works fine now. Here's something strange, however. My player plane (not late activated) actually spawns back on EL4! I know the Wiki talks about players spawning on the SixPack, but in my case, I'm back on EL4 (which I prefer). Maybe something changed in the SC logic since that was posted to the Wiki (or I am misunderstanding the content). Happy to post the mission if anyone's interested.

Thanks to both! My T16000M HOTAS works just fine for now. Good to know something's cooking over at VKB. Lots of info to sift through.

Greetings. I just ordered the VKB MkIV Rudder Pedals and can't wait for them to arrive (USA). For years (far too many to count), I've gotten by without pedals using either a twist stick or rudder pedal analogs on the throttle (like the T16000m). With several helicopters around the corner, and my desire to fly "the right way" with rudder inputs, I took the plunge and purchased the MkIV. Over the years I've dreamed of owning a "quality" HOTAS, made mostly of metal, that would hold up to what essentially is a lifetime of flight simming. After seeing the quality of the VKB MkIV (online reviews), I immediately started looking/dreaming of the other VKB products that might round out my quest for HOTAS excellence. That being said, I don't see any options for a throttle from VKB. This seems odd to me. https://vkbcontrollers.com/ Do they make a throttle? Hopefully someone can direct me here. Thanks!

This shouldn't be that hard ... I wanted to create a simple mission where my jet spawned back on elevator 4 with all 4 cats currently occupied and an active deck with AI jets taxiing to the different cats. I was really looking for some immersion when taking off from the carrier instead of just me, the deck crew, and my jet. Welp, it appears I can't spawn the player jet anywhere but the sixpack. And always in the same spot just behind the Cat1 JBD. I was al least able to spawn AI jets on all 4 cats, and another 4 AI jets (2 on EL2 and 2 onEL4). All other efforts to spawn jets elsewhere on deck failed. Right now, this is "good enough" for me. BTW - this page has some good information for those wanting more - https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_editor_carrier_spawns I don't have time/energy to continue digging into this. Maybe this will be addressed before SC comes out of EA. Even if it doesn't I suspect the more persistent community members will address.

Thanks for jumping on this, @Ansirial. Works like a charm.

Wow! That was fast! Thanks for the great news!

Thank you, Sir! o7

@AnsirialI just uploaded some carrier landings and the statistics page is throwing an error

@BIGNEWY - any chance for an official comment on what/why the db_countries was encrypted? Might ED consider opening this back up for modding? There are several nice logbook mods out there that many of us use that rely on db_countries.

Did this stop working with 2.7?

You're the best @Taz1004! Thanks for jumping on this.

My first screen shot of 2.7 .... beautiful Unfortunately for me, I haven't had a real chance to put on VR and experience this for any length of time. Looking forward to the opportunity. Thanks ED!!
