Yes it is working again for me. Thank you BIGNEWY and the ED Team for your response. Looking forward to the long term fix as the game gives me all the excitement I need without the tension of not working.

Yes I restarted DCS. My computer had been off for about two hours before I tried to come back in. Ok will do. I will shiut down my computer and do a restart and then try to get into a MP server.

Issue is still there. Log attached. Screenshot of MP page attached. I tried the suggestion to go into SP Instant Action first and then go to the MP Server page. Worked OK until I tried to join a MP server. No action on the JOIN button. The server was one I am in regularly. At least this time the MP page got to the orange loading indicator. dcs.log

Just checked and MPdcs.log screen is still freezing the game. Log attached.

Sorry if I have this wrong but it is my understanding that Huey door gunners IRL could reload their weapon once they expended each ammo box. This seems to be lacking in the module.

This evening I was CPG in an Apache on a MP server. A mate was in the PLT position. We took some ground fire resulting in a damaged engine. On disengaging and proceeding back to our base I took the opportunity to go to the external view. Surprised to find we were still flying without a tail boom - although the tail rotor was still visible. Not sure if it is a module issue or a DCS World issue.

Noting that the last post in this thread was almost a year ago I would like to re-raise the visor issue. I note that RAZBAM has included a working visor in the Mirage 2000 which (from my testing) works OK in both Flatscreen and VR, so I am wondering if they could now revisit the Harrier visor.

While I think the George interface system is a great innovation. However it is very chunky and non-intuitive. Recently I was working on a Voice Attack profile for the CPG. To my dismay I found that I could not establish a simple flow of voice commands because the developer has chosen to utilize four separate (Modes) Options (H-B, CMBT. FLT and CMWS) but elected to use the same keybinds (W,A.S,D) to initiate actions. That means that the Mode needs to be changed to initiate specific actions which (to be honest in a combat situation) is not very intuitive or helpful. A fix would be to have a separate modifier for each mode - for example LCRTL or LALT etc - so that each action is individual to that mode. There would stil be long or short presses of W (Up), S (Down), D (Right) A and D (Left) keys but Modal actions could be delineated by modifiers such as LCTRL for FLT Actions; LALT for CMBT actions; LSHIFT for FLT actions; and RALT for CMWS actions. Setting up a Voice Attack profile in the above scenario would be much more intuitive and immersive as it would allow the player to move from FLT actions to CMBT actions etc without having to have to change George modes. As the aim is to make DCS as "real" as possible, such a simple change to the Apache George AI would be a step towards this aim.

Got this from a Discord channel I follow. It seems one of the contributors also had problems with his VR after the latest update and he fixed it by "Got my VR going again. Just had to set Motion Reprojection to Automatic in the MS OpenXR Tools " He did comment that it was not as smooth as before. As I do not use VR that is the best that I can offer.

I have bound the rudder trim switch to the thumb switch on my joystick. When I trim the rudder the trim indicator moves but the rudder trim switch below the throttle does not. When I use my mouse to click on the rudder trim switch it moves and the trim indicator also moves. Attached is a short track file. Harrier Rudder.trk

While only minor it does introduce the risk of setting the wrong target point if the Record Number (REQ) is partially obscured. Please fix RAZBAM.

Auto turn is bugged in BS3. It has been reported. You are probably doing everything right but the bugged auto turn is screwing up control of the helo. I have found it better to leave auto turn off and align the helo with the target by using left / right pedals. Not as good as auto turn in the old BS but workable nevertheless.

Page 10-29 of the Ka-50 III manual states "If while in HOVER mode it is necessary to decrease altitude, you can use the VERTICAL DESCENT mode. To do so, press and hold the (ROUTE-DESCENT) switch on the collective in the DESCENT position. When this is done, the (HOVER) light and the (Ralt HOLD) lights will go off and the (DESCENT) light will turn on." All occurs as above except the the Ralt HOLD light remains on. Not a bit bug but may need attention in due course. I was using the Instant Action Caucasus Ka-50 III Take-off from Runway mission to test out the hover system when I noticed the above difference from the manual.

Yes, I tried the same Instant Action mission and you are correct - while the wipers move back and forth they do not remove the water droplets from the windscreen. Still, some nice eye candy animation.

With Auto Turn selected, when I designate a target using the Helmut Mounted Sight (by aligning the HMS to the target and then pressing Uncage) the aircraft turns to point about 10 degrees right of the target.

Some of the carrier ops pilot calls - such as "Hornet Ball" - are listed in the Controls option and either have keybinds assigned or able to be assigned. It would be very helpful if all possible pilot calls for carrier ops were also listed in the Controls option either with keybinds assigned or with the ability to assign keybinds. This would make it much easier to use the pilot calls with Voice Attack or to assign to HOTAS or other button board switches. For carrier ops we would only need 6 additional calls - "Salute", "Kiss Off", "Established", "Commencing", "Platform", "Up and On" - not currently available in the Controls options menu.

Thanks rob10. I have found the setting. It is is the MISC section - Autologin. Not seen it before 2.8 and I certainly don't recall ticking it. Mystery solved.

Cannot help you with mapping Screenshot to a button but I have it as a voice command in all my Voice Attack profiles. Works a treat as I only need to call out Screenshot and it is done.

Today when I double clicked on my DCS Opendbeta desktop icon the game booted up without showing the Username / password window. It did show the "Looking for updates" window. Is this now configured to start up without asking for the Username / Password? If so, I think it is a good thing as it removes on step in the process of getting into the game. ps. I started the game from desktop three times to make sure it was the game and not just me imagining things. pps. Even more interesting - I run a second computer on which I host a DCS server on Sunday mornings when a few of my squad mates get online. When I started up the server - as well as the "Looking for updates" window - it did show the Username / password window. Log attached. dcs.log

Thanks guys. Not a bug then.

Not sure if this is a bug. I was flying back to the carrier using Autopilot and TCN. When I was within 50 NM I called Inbound and received the normal reply which included the carrier's recovery course. When I tried to set the Course line (carrier's course less ten degrees) on the HSI using the Course Setting Switch on the MPCD the aircraft immediately banked towards the course I was setting. It appears the Autopilot CPL is not independent of the Course Setting Switch.

UI (User Interface) Layer has its own section in the Options - Controls settings. The UI Layer is applicable to all aircraft and combined arms controls settings.

Interesting. Did you uncomment VAICOM in export.lua? Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk Hi MAXsenna, where would I find the export.lua file and how would I uncomment it?

Had the same problem. No Comms menu. Uninstalled VIACOM PRO and repaired DCS OB. Then booted up DCS OB and all was OK until I started VA. Then no Comms menu. It appears to be VA that is causing the DCS OB menu to not work because I can start DCS OB and all is OK but when I boot up VA the DCS Comms menu then no longer works - shutting down VA without coming out of DCS OB then allows the Comms menu to show / work.
