F40, I'm unclear where to find the repair export LUA function. Is it in the program itself? Because I cannot keep the program open long enough to access anything in it. It opens and then immediately closes in the programs window.

Ok, getting the hang of things and got rid of Sonic Studio screwing things up. I really like the chatter but have a hard time hearing it in my headphones over the background DCS noises. I have the chatter noise on the PTT confit page all the way up as well as the volume on the audio coms page. Still having a hard time hearing over DCS. I set all in game sliders to 50% and have hearing in helmet checked. I tried lowering the DCS helmet and in cockpit sliders but still can’t hear them well over DCS. Am I changing the wrong sliders? Any guidance appreciated. Thanks, Jason

Hi guys, Can someone refresh me on how to force and update on SSA beta? It was working just fine until recently. I just added Voice Attack and Viacom and suspect the LUA may have gotten screwed up or something. My SSA stable works fine (hadn't used it in awhile so when I started the program it autoupdated). I suspect if I reupdate my beta it too will work. Currently I open the program and it immediately closes down. Thanks, Jason

Thanks Wayz. Think I found the program and problem

Hi guys, I'm trying to setup Voice Attack and Viacom for the first time. I keep getting a warning in voice attack that Sonic Studio may cause a conflict. I can't figure out if it actually is or not. Secondly, I can't for the life of me find it in Task Manger to turn it off. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jason

Is there a way to use Viacom and PTT for communications only and use only VoiceAttack (always listening) for cockpit commends? Or do you have to use PTT for anything VoiceAttack related once Viacom profile is started? Thanks Jason

Thanks guys. Appreciate the feedback

Hi guys, wanted to get some input. I’ve never flown anything but fixed wing before. I want to give the choppers a spin but have no idea which one to start with to learn even the basics of handling and flight before diving into deeper systems. I own all four choppers but haven’t really jumped into them. If anyone could give me some guidance as to what might be the easiest module to start with...and learn the flight characteristics of choppers...that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jason

I've watched numerous tutorials, can't seem to get the rockets to hit where I'm aiming in CCIP. Try and get the plane stable and trimmed. Pipper on target, wait for IN Range and fire and my rockets go all over the place. Sometimes short, sometimes left or right. No rhyme or reason I can figure out. Is this wind? Unless I'm on top of the target (way below the pull up warning) I can't get my rockets anywhere near close enough to damage the vehicles. Any suggestions or thoughts greatly appreciated Cheers, Jason

Thank you sandman

Looking for suggestions. Can any of you guys see ground targets through the HUD in VR? I'm flying in VR with the Oculus. I've read all the threads on model enlargement and resolution and know its an issue being worked on by ED. I've finally sorted out the spotting with planes but I can't see the ground targets at all (even with labels-which show roughly where target is but can't be used for targeting). I've dropped PD to 1.0, tried MSAA off and on...nothing helps. I can barely spot the target out the side of the canopy (clear glass) but as soon as I roll in on my run the target vanishes in the tint of the HUD...there's no contrast at all with the terrain. Is there a way to turn the HUD tint off? Any suggestions on how you guys remedy and deal with this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Jason

I didn't have to do that for the A-10C. I think it's more something I'm missing in the inputs menu

Was wondering if someone could help straighten me out. Having trouble figuring out how to setup the throttle detent on thrustmaster warthog. I have it setup for A-10C but can't remember how I did it. any guidance greatly appreciated. Hope everyone is having fun!

Hmm, Interestingly enough maybe just the desktop icon vanished. TacView64 was in the TacView folders under Programs(x86) and when I load it...the about tab says 1.7. I just created a new desktop shortcut. Does this seem like a problem or do I seem to be good to go? Thanks for all your hard work Jason

Hi Vyrtuoz, I just tried installing 1.7. In the past when I have updated TacView it has always just installed the new version over the top. This time I am getting an error on install. Install Failed Please ensure you have enough access rights and free space. Plenty of room on the hard drive...UAC is off. Tried running the installer as administrator...And my previous version of the stable release TacView is gone. The beta is still present. Any thoughts on where I should begin to troubleshoot this? I searched the forums but didn't see any recent threads Thanks, Jason

Hi guys, quick question...hadn't used Tacview in awhile but just last night tried to analyze my flight and noticed that neither the stable nor beta release recorded my flight. In fact it looks like flights stopped automatically recording like a month ago. Can someone point me in the right direction to fix this? Thanks and Happy New Year Jason

copy just the module folders?

I'm going through the process of moving all three branches of DCS to a new hard drive. Uninstalling and reinstalling. Once the branch is freshly installed I go to install my modules (of which I have all). I am initially presented with the pop up saying all these modules are available for install. If I click "OK" it looks as if DCS is thinking about downloading them for about a minute and then DCS quits. I find I have to manually install each module (of which there are 36 for each branch) with DCS quitting and restarting for each one. Is this normal behavior? Or is there a way around this? If anyone can spare me this tedious task I'd be forever grateful. Thanks Jason

must have been a firewall thing...disabling everything worked...now to try and firgure out how to let it work without taking down the entire firewall everytime thanks guys

I've tried rebooting. Tried turning off firewalls on both computers. When you setup the server computer. It configured the IP address automatically correct? And I can't seem to change it so I hope so

Damn I'm such a noob. I will have to google how to do that. But if you mean ping on the multiplayer server screen I don't see it. I've tried reading the DCS manual on multiplayer but found it far from helpful

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me start by saying I really have no experience with LAN and very little with multiplayer. This week I set up a second computer and installed DCS on it. I connected it to my primary DCS computer through a router and Ethernet connections. I created a homegroup in Windows 10 and both computers seem to see each other just fine. The purpose of this second new computer was to run it as a server and fly using the other computer to take a little workload off my primary DCS rig. On Last Wednesday for my first test run I was able to alter a free flight mission and everything seemed to work as planned. Getting back at it today I can't seem to get the computers to connect no matter what I do. Every time I try and join through IP address and password it tries and then says can't connect and disconnects. Is this a firewall issue? Any other pointers on how to try and trouble shoot this. Both computers have separate DCS accounts and separately purchased modules and terrains. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jason

Oh yea and cockpit illumination off
