Hi Guys For some time now I have noticed that when loading profiles onto different modules from saved input config files a red exclamation badge that I believe means that multiple inputs have been assigned to that command shows up on random commands. The screen shot attached shows what the issue looks like with the Weapons Fire command that after clearing a duplicate input command in Throttle Category only the one Joystick is input is now being applied but the badge persisting and the bind does not work. There is no rhyme or reason as to what commands will be affected in the different modules it is random. I would greatly appreciate some support solving this very annoying problem. I have done some research on the issue but can't find any satisfactory resolution apart from reloading the module and assigning each command individually which is a prospect that I can hardly imagine considering the number of modules that I have. Very much look forward to hearing from anyone who may have had this problem and has determined root cause and solution. Thanks in advance...

Thanks Max first thing I did was to check the joystick settings in the settings app and there is no issue with the joystick inputs. Also other FS programs are not affected so it is certainly DCS. I feel a full reinstallation is on the cards

Hi Guys I have just recently been having a worsening issue with intermittent input problems from my controllers to DCS modules. I have a TM Warthog stick and throttle that I have been using without issue for years. A couple of days ago I noticed that some key binds that included a modifier were being commanded without the modifier being used. Then things got worse when other input commands with and without modifiers started to work sporadically as well. The problem started during a session and has now persisted for a number of days. As an interim work around I then started to use corresponding keyboard commands but then discovered that they too were not working consistently. Note that the issue happens with multiple modules and is random happening anytime during the session but appears to becoming worse over time. Would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone else that may have experienced similar problems and what I might try to resolve the issue. Thanks in advance

I have got a problem mapping the Rudder axis in the pilot position on the AH-64. The Rudder action has a red exclamation icon next to it and won't allow the rudder input to be recognised. I have no problem setting up the rudder for the CP/G position. The screen shot below shows the problem to which I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance

Hi Guys I tried tanking with the Hornet in MP for the first time since updating to 2.7 and was quickly aware that the degree of difficulty has increased significantly performing what has been for me a very simple and straight forward process. I have tried with all tanker types and have had the same problem which is some strange kind of pressure wave/turbulence when approaching the basket. I have tried from all angles to see if that made any difference but each time the same thing happens, when I get close to connecting the plane suddenly drops by the nose and then has to be firmly recovered which then ruins the approach line and requires me to try again. I watched several other players also trying to plug and they also seemed to be having similar problems to what I experienced. I am very interested to know if others have noticed the same issue because if its now this hard to refuel in the Bug there is absolutely no hope for other air frames like the F-16 and Harrier. Hopefully this is some kind of bug that will be fixed in due course.

Nice to know it's just not me @admiki I also discovered that some modules have the issue and some don't.. hopefully this issue has been noted by ED and they are aware.

Hi Guys When I am in MP the load out screen has not been updated to the new larger model version that is available in SP not sure if this is how it is supposed to be. Also whilst I can select different skins I am unable to select hardpoint loadout options, I can select the hard point but there is no drop down pick list. This issue occurs in different servers and I have had not had the problem in previous versions of DCS. Any suggestions about how to resolve this frustrating problem would be most appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Megalax.. so much to learn..

Thanks Joey will lua file as suggested.. thanks

Hi Guys After years of avoiding it I finally decided to try and develop my skills as a "Skinner" and after churning through a number of tutorials on the subject including Cap's and Laobi's I had a crack. I downloaded the Hornet texture off the DCS had a play around in Gimp to get the hang of it and was able to get a slippery grip on all the basic editing processes. I edited the base skin filling the background with a different colour, adding logos, text and shapes. I then converted all the files to DDS using DXTBmp set up the folder and could hardly wait to view my first creation in the air. What greeted me was certainly not what I was expecting and you can view the result of my hours of trial and error on the link provided. I intend to keep learning and to work out how to perfect the black art of livery making but I was hoping that there may be some Skin Sage out there who might be kind enough to look at the abomination and maybe cast a few pearls of wisdom my way to help get me there faster. Specifically I would like to know: >>Why the filled colour is displaying in different coloured tiles? >>Where is the random text coming from on the wings? >>Why has the pilot texture stuffed up because I never touched the bugger? If I can get some help with these queries I would of course be very much appreciative. Cheers Guys..

All good now guys it appeared to resolve itself after a restart. I will have a play with the MSAA setting and confirm if this has any negative effect. Thanks for all your comments..

Hi Guys I have just noticed that mirrors in all modules have stopped working which is odd because they were working initially after the latest update but now do not. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hi Newy just confirming I was able to update to the latest version following your instructions... thanks for your assistance.. again :)
