I am interested in finding out whether there are any pilots out there that still uses the Rhino X-55 Hotas. The reason I ask is that DCS World does not recognised my Rhino X-55 Hotas and I cannot afford to upgrade to the logitech X-56. I am currently working through the issue with support, but I am not having much luck. Windows 10 recognises its and I can test the it out ok. Any assistance will be much appreciated.

Thanks BIGNEWY I have lodged a ticket with support. Hopefully they can come up with a solution other than uninstalling it and reinstalling it.

Over the last couple of days, I have been trying to update DCS on Steam. I have set DCS World SE updates as high priority. It seems to continue validating and seems to not complete this stage. I get not network activity whatsoever and only disk usage data. Other game updates go through normally. However I have been waiting over 3 hours for the update to finish validating. I have done a file integrity check and that seems to complete very quickly and comes back as ok. For some unknown reason I cannot find the game logs on my computer, not sure why. I am just hoping I do not have to uninstall it and reinstall it again. I have been through steam support, that it only comes back to contact third party support. I tried to lodge a support ticket but it requires a screen shot of any errors and log file, which I cannot find on my computer. Can anyone suggest what What the issue would be. CPU: AMD Ryzen 2 2200G with Radeon Vega Graphics 3.y GHz RAM 8GB DDR 4 GPU: Geforce GTX 760 with 2 GB Video Ram Internal Harddrive: 1 1TB and 1 2TB Ext Drive 1 x 2 TB and 1x2.5GB I believe I need 16 GB Rams but only having 8GB ram should not affect the update for DCS World. Operating System is Windows 10 Pro Version 1903 OS Build 18362.356

HI guy, Just had a look at the specificiation for the DLC for the F/A - 18c Hornet. Just need to find out whether my Nvidia Geforce GTX 760 graphics card will allow me to fly the Hornett. At this stage funding resources prevent me from upgrading my graphics card and I would love to fly the Hornet, in DCS World. Trevor

I have been doing a test mission, so that I can properly adjust my joystick settings, I had set up a briefing, and set objective, however when testing the mission the objectives dont show up on the briefing screen. I am using DCS World 1.5.1 (openBeta). Can anyone advise me on how to get the objective displayed on mission briefing pls.

BigBadVuk, have you tried reinstalling the driver. Are you setting it up via the DCS World or via the HUD software. if you are setting it up through DCS World make sure that you have cleared your HUD profiles, just to make sure that it non of the profiles interferring with DCS World. In your task bar there should be an icon that allows you to select your x55 profiles, if it is green, then you need to right click it and select clear, to turn HUD profiles off and see if that help.

I am just wondering whether or not this will be released on Steam. I am using the DCS World 1.5 (openbeta) in steam, and would love to get this DLC, or will I have to wait until the official release of DCS World 1.5.

DaveRindner are you really having so much trouble with the X-55 Rhino. I have arthritis in my wrists and I am not having as much issues with that. Are you playing DCS World or the DCS World 1.5 beta. You can set the HAT to be 8 ways, but you will need to program it in the HUD software that comes with Saitek. Just need to remember that what is programmed in the HUD needs to be cleared in DCS World. I dont really think its overpriced compared to other similar brands which are a deal more expensive some are twice the cost. But I find it an ok, system for someone on a low budget. I will admit there are some design flaws, but generally I find it ok. The Warthog I find too expensive, especially for a weekend flyer. but I would advise that in the end you program the HOTAS to your physical abilities. In my opinion HOTAS systems are not designed for small hands, and I havent seen one that is build specifically for small hand, and as far as I am aware that the systems are designed from actual cockpit design, but with some modifications, so they are able to be programmed for different aircraft. If would cost alot of money to buy HOTAS systems for each aircraft you fly. F15C controls are different to the SU-27 controls, and it would cost well over $1000 to design a HOTAS system that can be interchangeable to match the type of aircraft flown in DCS World. Just one last issue, never have too high an expectation on gaming devices, because you will end up being disappointed if they dont match up to your expectation. Same they dont have a try before you buy system or get suppliers to set up these systems so that you can try them before ordering them. You will find that people will find fault with everything if there expectations are too high. Unless you are willing to pay thousands of dollars, you will never find a gaming device that will totally satisfy you, as developer with design a similator that wont be suitable for your gaming device, and they you will become unsatisfied with the device because you cannot play the new simulator. Just some things to think about before your frustrations take control.

I havent had any issue with programming the X-55 Rhino, except when disconnecting them, from the usb hub. I have found that if you have Windows 10, then reinstalling the driver helps sometimes. And I agree with PowerShot-X, use a powered USB hub otherwise it wont work properly.

Information only: The rotary switch are actually recognised by DCS World, only in the axis control menu in setup. So what this means is that the developer need to put more commands in the axis control for those who are rotary switches otherwise you will need to use the profiler software. I managed to get the black shark working now I have to work on not blowing up my engines.

Thanks everyone , now have it working fine.

Thanks for your reply, I am using the ingame bindings, and Rudders are set to the rudder pedals, Rolls and pitch are set to the joystick and the collective is set to the throttle. giei, I think saitek have been focusing on their star citizen hotas system more than anything else, maybe that is why the new drivers havent come out yet. I have found that flying the planes alot smoother since Windows 10 came out, The black shark is the only issue I have had at present.

I had a look and the diff.lua file, for both the X-55 Throttle and stick, and notice that for some unknown reason the controls come mixed, as some controls for the throttle appear in both the Throttle and Stick diff.lua files. So I think it could be a issue with DCS, save profile function on Black Shark 2 Sim profile. So confusing on how they were mixed, when each profile was save separately. And idea on how to fix it or should I put a ticket in.

I am assuming this issue is a bug with Black Shark and possibly Windows 10. In setting up my X-55 Rhino HOTAS system in the control panel everything works well, I would flick a switch and the right control would come up on everything, However when I go to play a mission, these controls dont seem to work properly. My throttle which is set up as the collective seems to control the cyclic, as well as the stick controls cyclic. I have assigned switches but they dont seem to work. So I end the mission, and go back to the control settings and agains click on switches and the show up corresponding to the right controls. All my other setting for my other aircraft the SU-25, SU-25T all work properly. Can anyone please tell how I can fix this issue. As I am trying to improve my flying of the Black Shark 2 ready for the new mission/compaign due to be release in Septermber. Any assistance with this would be much appreciated. I have attached the associated diff.lua files for the Black Shark 2.

After adding Flaming Cliff 3 to my DCS World Steam Edition, I notice the following. That when I went into missions, I noticed that the SU-27, SU-25T, A10A aircraft were not listed, but I found the mission for these aircraft appeared under Flaming Cliffs 3. And that I could not select the Aircraft category, to access these mission. Is this supposed to happen. However in the Controls Options, I notice that each aircraft was listed which was the case in the missions, which is not the case since I downloaded the flaming Cliffs DLC. which meant that if I wanted to fly a mission for the SU-27 I would have to goto Flaming Cliffs, and select the mission that had Su-27 in front of it, same with the A-10A, and F15C Can anyone advise whether this situation is normal when Flaming Cliffs 3 was installed.

Thanks for your reply guys and yes I forgot that there was a mission already, thanks for the reminder Belgeode.

i have been researching to find out what munitions can be used against certain targets. I am having difficulties finding what Su_25T munitions would be effective against the Command Centre. I have drop free fall bombs on it, Laser guided missiles, and unguided missiles on it. I have even look though the encyclopedia to find out what sort of targets each type of munitions work against certain targets. I have look through guides produced by other members, and I find myself still wanting. Is there any other place I could look to find this information out. I even tried to create a mission where AI would go on a mission to destroy the Command Centre, but little of not success. But in the meantime I will keep researching. Any assistance on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks again for your prompt reply. In the log there was a mission error, 00159.679 ERROR DCS: Mission script error: : [string "Withcraft.start(_G)"]:1: attempt to index global 'Withcraft' (a nil value) stack traceback: [C]: ? [string "Withcraft.start(_G)"]:1: in main chunk 00166.956 INFO Config: netview stopped I think the error could be with [C] ? if I am right it looks like its trying to access my C: drive, however all the files are on my F drive, as my C drive is my system drive and all my software and games are on my F drive. I did turn off my antivirus and firewall.

HI Ian thanks for the reply, just wondering will this work on the steam edition of DCS World, as I followed the video, but it doesnt seem to want to connect. So I am guessing it doesnt work for steam edition of DCS World.

I have been going through the manual and come across "COCKPIT INDICATION TEXT IS EQUAL TO" function and it tells me that the console is needed, however it also say that indicator ID can be found in Scripts\Aircrafts\Aircraft name\cockpit\device_init.lua. What I am wondering is the locations still the same or has it changed. The reason I ask is because when I go to Scipts\Aircrafts there is no names of the aircrafts only the _Common folder, which has folders for the Kneeboard, Padlock and triggersystem along with alot of individual lua files. Can anyone advise me how to find the indicator IDs for above trigger function.

I am designing a training mission that will allow me to practice using free fall bomb on the SU25T. I have placed a Armed house, Armed Watch Tower and a Command Centre. when test flying the mission, I am able to lock on to the House and watch tower but not the Command Centre. Not being able to lock on to the Command Centre using lock target, is that normal are a bug with DCS World. I have managed to lock on and destroy both Armed House and Armed Watch Tower, still working on the Command Centre which is proving to be a little more challenging seeing I cannot lock onto it, as a guide.

Just after some advise, when flying the SEAD mission I can log onto the first target with the KH-58U using the L081, however when I cannot lock onto the second target, is it because I have my ECM on. I have attacked the trk file. Any assistance would be much appreciated. SU25SEAD_1.trk

ander35, when you fire your missile the plane become unbalanced due to the reduction in weight, and therefore you will need to trim the plane to counter that. I find that hard in a combat situation myself but I try to counter that with joystick movements. However the correct way is to trim the plane after firng your missile if there is roll present.
