Rudel_chw started following Game wont start, no error messages , CE Autopilot , Stop the controller ID from changing.... and 1 other

The Autopilot is engaged by pressing the AP pushbutton, while holding the AP Disconnect trigger depressed on the Flight Stick (to avoid any unwanted action of any AP previous mode). As soon as the red “P” pushbutton light illuminates, you may release the AP disconnect trigger and then the AP will engage in Basic Mode and the green “A” light will illuminate to confirm AP engagement.

March 2024 - An Interview with the Heatblur development team
Rudel_chw replied to Rudel_chw's topic in Heatblur Simulations
the interview was probably taken 1-2 weeks before it’s published date. -
At 90° bank the HUD oscilates between its upright and its downside position, this is somewhat normal and you can avoid it by banking just a little less than 90°. If you pull the stick back while doing a turn, you begin to pull-g and in that case the aircraft begins to lose speed. Fix by increasing throttle or reducing the g-load.

Stop the controller ID from changing....
Rudel_chw replied to Toastfrenzy's topic in Controller & Assignment Bugs - General
Probably only an ED developer can answer that, I can only assume that if it were easy to do then they would have already done so. The names shown are the default, I don't rename the luas, as for me it is simpler to just open the old lua using notepad++, Ctrl+A to select all, then Ctrl+C. Next close the file and open the new lua, if there is no new lua then you need to enter DCS and bind any command, any will do, as this will create the new DIFF.LUA file. When I have the new LUA open, do Ctrl+A to select all its current content, then Ctrl+V to paste the old content. Now save the file and voila. Note that only "joystick" files need this, the keyboard, Mouse, and TrackIR sections don't need it as they don't use the USB IDs. Actually, I'm a big believer on backups, and for DCS I have opted to place the most important configuration folders on a Cloud drive that supports file versioning. On the next image: All the folders with a small arrow on its corner is actually not there, on /Saved Games/ but instead it is on my Cloud drive. So, whenever I'm for example editing a Mission, I can restore any prior save of it, like this: Anyway, I hope that you now have a broader perspective on how DCS stores all the bindings one makes On my case, I find DCS to have the most flexible and comprehensive command binding abilities of any Sim that I've ever used. Best regards, Eduardo -

Hello, Nothing is really impossible, but it would for sure need a serious redesign on how DCS interacts with the Sim peripherals that the users may have. back on those golden and simpler times, the average Sim user had a joystick and that was it .. in fact it probably wasn't even a USB joystick, but one that connected to the joystick port of your PC, which could handle a maximum of two devices using a Y adapter. I may be wrong, but I believe the reason is flexibility: you can connect a staggering amount of Sim peripherals to your DCS, not just the vanilla HOTAS and Rudders, but also Cougar MFDs, a HUD, button boxes, an UFC, etc etc Currently DCS uses the USB ID that Windows assign to each device, to identify and distinguish between them ... probably this is because the peripherals themselves don't have a standardized built-in ID that DCS could use. I must admit that this puzzles me a bit, as it has not happened to me ... I connect my HOTAS and rudder on whatever USB port I have free on my PC, and Windows does not change the USB ID that it has assigned to them. Maybe some sim peripherals are not so well-behaved as my Thrustmaster and Virpil gear. To me, the only times the USB ID's of my gear change, is when I reinstall Windows. For example here you can see the dates when my Windows has changed the USB ID of my Hotas and Rudder: If the ID changed whenever I unplug-replug my gear, I would have a much larger quantity of these files. On the times when the ID has changed, I solve the issue by copying the CONTENTS of the old DIFF.LUA file onto the new one, as I find it easier than renaming the files ... is not such a nuisance since it happens seldom. -
I’m always amazed at how so many users can fly DCS only as a reproduction of historic events, and need a historic map and historic AI units in order to fly and enjoy a new aircraft module. On my case, I like DCS mostly to experience and learn to fly a given aircraft, I have no problem with a fictional scenario, say a La-7 flying on the Normandy map on 1944, Ijust imagine a coop program between the allies, where in exchange for some US units sent to the URSS, a squadron of La-7 gets to participate on the D-day. Limiting oneself to only historic re-enactments is … well, limiting

F-4E Phantom II Development Update and Release Delay Announcement
Rudel_chw replied to IronMike's topic in DCS: F-4 Phantom
Thanks a lot for the status update, I will simply fly the Viggen while I wait for the Phantom, no worries here as your quality level is worth waiting for. Greetings from Chile -

Hi, On my case I find that the reflections are a bit overdone, particularly on the instruments faces ... but I have not seen the black screen that some have mentioned ... here is a video I took today: -
I fail to see how that would be a "money grab" ... perhaps you should change Sim, there are some free ones available.
-
Perhaps you should have, that way maybe you wouldn't have talked nonsense about "ED trapping your purchases" I started to play DCS on Steam, back on 2013, but moved to stand-alone after I realized its advantages (for me). I have absolutely no problem moving between Steam and Stand-alone, just a small update of my ED profile and I can go back to Steam whenever I want ... how is that "trapping" me?, I don't know, perhaps you could elaborate. Of course it was better to move between my install without having to do anything at all, but you will have to thank the dishonest users that "lent" their Steam accounts while they played on Stand-alone, that such simple life is not possible anymore. Same for the free-trials, where those same dishonest users created duplicate ED user accounts just so they could free-play for much longer periods of time .. it forced upon us the 2FA ... that one is really an inconvenience, and I opted to not use free-trials anymore, and I have to thank the dishonest users for that: thank you guys, hope your PCs will heat-melt.

I look forward to flying this aircraft, as my last WW2 bird (the Mosquito) was two years ago, on 2021.

Trobbles to config my TM Cougar in Win 11
Rudel_chw replied to Ross-impress's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Thanks a lot for the tip, but I'm still wary of Windows 11 and so I will stick to Windows 10 for as long as I can Edit: and a quick search shows I'm not alone on this matter: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/windows-10-still-has-more-than-double-the-market-share-of-windows-11-and-that-doesnt-look-like-it-will-change-any-time-soon#:~:text=Windows 11 launched in 2021,market share of Windows 10. -
March 2024 - An Interview with the Heatblur development team
Rudel_chw replied to Rudel_chw's topic in Heatblur Simulations
But not new, both the C-101 and the Mirage F1 have been showing the GPU for years -
OK, if the repair didnt work then the issue may be caused by something within your saved games folder. Try the following: rename the folder "C:\Users\Jude Kirby\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta", to DCS.openbeta.bak Does DCS starts now? It will probably ask you for your ED account credentials. If it starts, it will create a new default DCS.openbeta folder, exit DCS and then copy from the .bak folder the following items: \Config \MissionEditor restart DCS, does it still works? If yes, you can copy back from the .bak folder the items: \Missions \Liveries \Missions and \Scripts ... do not copy back the \Mods folder, as it probably contains the cause of the issue.

Did i loose my 50% first purchase chance??
Rudel_chw replied to edup71's topic in Payment and Activation
I re-read my post and cant see where I said that I expect it to happen, just that it is a pity that it doesn't reach the ocean.
