Speaking of which, I don't remember where but I read that leaving it on for too long can cause it to overheat, but when I watch any kind of tutorials there is no mention ever of turning it off until you are shutting down. Do you need to? Can it really cause any problems in the DCS simulation?

Is there a way to increase the rate of TGP A-A Slew rate? I know I can change it in the Stat page under "THRTL" on the left MFCD, but that also affects the A-G slew rate, and it also doesn't help much. The problem being that it slews so very slowly when in A-A that it's impossible to use it

Can anyone suggest a method how to bind a slider control on my X52 Throttle to the speed break? Is that possible? If I try in the game, there is no axis control for the speed break, is there any clever way to use the X52 programming profile to accomplish something like that?

That works perfectly, thank you!

Is there any possibility of making the HUD font larger? It's a bit hard for my old eyes to view some of the numbers, especially the ones by the compass bar.

oops, it started working, nvm

Hi, I hope this is where I can ask quick general questions? I am going through learning the start-up procedure, and can't figure out why the EAC switch doesn't work for me. If I try to flip it, it just flips right back and does not stay on. What would cause it to behave like that?

Ohhh I see, I completely misunderstood it then. Thanks for explaining that!

Hey guys, been a while since I simmed anything, and now I'm returning to DCS. I can see in the downloads on the new website (nice upgrade by the way!) that there is DCS 1.5 and DCS 2.0 Open Alpha. Is 2.0 Open Alpha our long-awaited Nevada map? And why does it say Open Alpha, is it not complete? In that case, should I just get 1.5 and fly on the old map or is 2.0 already very useable?

Thanks, worked like a charm! Didn't have to open it, actually. I just greased a bit the stick under the spring, under the little plate right under the spring. I just hope that grease doesn't destroy the plastic haha.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking of doing as well. But how do I apply it? Do I just put a few drops under the spring and move the stick around and hope for the best?

I've looked all over the internet about this issue, and have found many mods, but nothing to address this issue. I must have stored my joystick badly somehow or something, because after not using it for a while I got it out and now when I move the stick to the right, it sticks and doesn't move unless I apply more pressure than usual, at which point I can feel it grind as it moves. It feels as if something is rusted or if something is in the way. However the stick moves perfect when moving left, up or down. And if I first move it up or down and then move it to the right, there is no issue. Only if I move it to the right from center position there is grinding, and requires good amount of force (so much force that if I don't hold the base of the stick with my other hand, it will tip over the base rather than move). Can anyone suggest what I should do to fix it? I've seen some videos that show the unscrewed bottom part of the stick, but I don't think that will be enough for me if I need to open it up and take a look at what might be the problem, I think I need to open up the part where the stick sits in the middle, but haven't been able to find any detailed disassemblies of that part.

Welp, I always did like the sound of German, I guess I might as well start learning it now :P haha

Has anyone read the book "Stick and Rudder" by Wolfgang Langewiesche? Is there an equivalent book for flying helicopters?

MY EYES!!!

It is? What if a crew member is injured/unconcious and is unable to eject themselves?

I find target acquisition in the Su-25T to be a joke compared to the A-10C.

Nerve wrecking! :cry:

This really stumbles a lot of people. Just about everyone, I guess. The problem is that trim reset is listed in the controls. There is no reason to believe that it is not supposed to work - why is it listed in the controls then? I think this SHOULD be a bug. Not that trim reset doesn't work, but that it's listed in the controls.

Ah, good idea! For anyone else interested, the sound file is Avionics_AC_400Hz.wav located in DCS World\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\Cockpits

I don't suppose there is any way to mute the electric hum from the batteries? (I mean, other than turning them off :P)

There is no such thing in the manual. In fact it actually mentions that you can launch Vikhrs in pairs. If you are referring to the laser cooldown, that is not what's happening in my case. The laser is still active and does not require cooldown yet.

Is this a bug, or something I don't understand? Once I have launched a Vikhr, and it has impacted on a target, I then lock on the next target, but I cannot launch another vikhr for maybe another 5 seconds.

If your reaction is really bad like you say, go see a doctor. :)

Are you allergic to latex? You'd know if you were, many rubber products contain latex. I do not know, but the joystick might have latex in its rubber, too. However if you are not allergic to latex, then maybe it's not the joystick you are reacting to, but something else?
