    Medvedev mission 4 - Impossible due to weather?

    in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark

    Posted

    I tried this mission tonight, and visibility is about 200m through the fog. There's some enemy AA hidden between the first waypoint and the fence, and they had no trouble seeing me or my wingman. Of course I had no chance of spotting them or any other target. Pretty sure the KA-50 wouldn't leave the ground in these conditions in real life.

     

    This mission was flyable a couple years ago when the weather was rendered differently, as I recall. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

    Suggested values in the Axis Tune menu: Deadzone 30; Saturation Y 15. (Saturation X leave at 100, Curvature 0.) Do that for both the horizontal and vertical axes.

     

    I haven't tested this in the shark, but it's the default way a warthog slew control is set up in the A-10C.

    We probably all know one of the annoying things about DCS is the inconsistent way control functions are named and organized. For instance, one aircraft has the landing gear listed as "Gear lever", another as "Landing Gear", another as "Raise/lower landing gear".

     

    I know we're probably not going to a perfect world where those inconsistencies are fixed anytime soon, so I suggest a quick new feature to help work around it, a search box at the top of the control editor.

    X-65F dual throttle problem

    in PC Hardware and Related Software

    Posted

    Thanks for the replies, but I think only FraserNZL understands the problem. Throttle2 produces no signal whatsoever, even in the test software that comes with the driver. It only "works" when linked. (I think just means the driver mirrors Throttle1's output onto it--all in software.)

     

    I'm starting to think it's a hardware problem, like the potentiometer just died. Does that ever happen?

     

    I'm also failing at programming the ministick or scroll wheel to do anything so far.

    X-65F dual throttle problem

    in PC Hardware and Related Software

    Posted

    I bought a used X-65f on ebay last week. Every feature on it works except the dual throttle, and I'm trying to figure out if it's a solvable issue.

     

    When the throttles aren't linked together, the right one doesn't register any motion. Neither DCS, nor X-plane, nor the driver software detects it. When linked together, Throttle2 suddenly starts producing output identical to Throttle1.

     

    I'm using the latest beta drivers 7.0.10.6. I've tried a couple of the registry hacks out there, they only succeed in swapping the label with some other axis, the behavior doesn't change.

     

    Has anyone seen a problem like this with the X-65f before?

    No disrespect intended. I assure you I looked at the screenshots closely. If you want your work appreciated, I suggest that you describe what you did. Is this a whole new theater? Is it a re-texturing of the Caucasus? I have no idea. Maybe you assume that I've heard of this mod project before now?

    I tried renaming my "DCS World\bin" directory and running repair. The directory and files were replaced, but no improvement. I still get the following event data when trying to load a Huey mission:

    I'm unable to fly the Huey, Ka-50, or A-10C since the update. As the mission loads, it crashes out with a "DCS has stopped working" dialog box. I was able to load missions successfully for the Su-25T, TF-51, and F-15C. I've tried running the repair tool already.

    Edit: I fixed this by uninstalling DCS World, re-downloading and reinstalling everything. Sigh.

    Ultra-widescreen screenshot problems

    I'm solving my problem by using alt-printscreen and paste, with ClipX so I can store many shots at a time in memory.

     

    IMO, for Eyefinity and Surround, you still need identical monitors for decent image quality because it assigns the same resolution to each output screen and resizes it to fit. Nvidia definitely doesn't support PLP layout or any mixing orientation of monitors with Surround, and neither does AMD unless that's changed in the last 2 months.

    Eyefinity and Surround are features of ATI/nvidia drivers that emulate a single large screen when driving multiple screens. All screens must be the same resolution and orientation.

     

    My (much cheaper and simpler) solution is to mount any three monitors the way I want them, extend the desktop across them in Windows display settings, and run games in windowed mode across all three. I use an app called ShiftWindow to get the game windows into the right position.

    in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2

    Posted

    Recently I put together a triple monitor setup, and I've been playing DCS on it in windowed mode at 4096x1152 resolution, which is awesome. Unfortunately, screenshots don't come out right in this mode. The right side comes out as solid black, as you can see in the attachment. Is there a fix for this?

     

    Edit: Not sure how I ended up posting this in the FC 1 & 2 forum, sorry. It's meant for the DCS World forum.

    Deployment Mission 3, Stronghold, can't complete

    in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark

    Posted

    I've tried this mission a few times. What always happens:

     

    I blow up the three bunkers.

     

    I utterly fail to find the enemy AAA under the trees while friendlies advance.

     

    Friendlies take over the town anyway, with minor damage, no losses.

     

    Then nothing. I can return to base and land with my wingman, but I don't get a mission success.

     

    I tried looking at the mission in the editor to see what triggers a success, but I'm a newb with that and couldn't discern it.

     

    What am I doing wrong?
