Enhancement idea: add the DCS site itself to the status info at the top. The DCS site is down so I can't log in when I fire up DCS - lo and behold, I get a 502 when I try to navigate to the site itself.

Has anybody taken the torch in terms of one big mod pack for OvGME?

Awesome! Thanks!

I've gone almost 10 years thinking that if I start DCS without already having started TrackIR, then I need to fully leave the game in order to have TrackIR running before the game is launched to get it to recognize the title, but I recently saw this video that details how, you just need to unlplug-replug your TrackIR and DCS will recognize it - so you don't need to restart DCS after all (I can't tell you how many hours this tip would've saved me if I had known about it sooner...SO MANY missions/MP sessions were launched without realizing that the blue light on the TrackIR wasn't on...) Here's the feature request - my TrackIR is plugged into my computer which is built into a cabinet, so getting to the USB lead to unplug-replug isn't as trivial for me as it is to most (but I can't believe I'm alone). ED - can you add a button to the in-game controls menu (or anywhere really, just in-game) to force-reset the USB connection to the device? Maybe that's not the best way to do it, but I'm just assuming that simulating an unplug-replug would do what's needed to force the connection to work, without having to physically do it. Thank you!

Hey Devs, It seems like it's very common to have issues after an update that are resolvable by deleting the \fxo\ and \metashaders2\ folders from the [user]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta directory. I've also heard of some people getting general framerate boosts by doing this after an update, but it's not necessarily issue-driven that they do so. Would it make sense to have the installer delete these folders automatically when the game is updated, to allow the shader cache to be regenerated? Or perhaps at least prompt the user to do so? Thanks!

Hey, can we not make this a generational thing? The most opinionated people on Hoggit are middle aged guys who've been regulars for years anyway. I know because I've read there and here for about 7 years now, since wayyyyy before Reddit quite took off for the younger crowd, and this Hoggit vs. Forums crap isn't a new thing.

NineLine, Wags, just so you guys know, you can disable Reddit PMs entirely (only approved users can send) if you're receiving shitty messages directly: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/blocked :thumbup:

Honestly my biggest qualm with MP is the ridiculous load times and startup lag.

Can never get sick of this song. Great video.

Very glad to hear that you are enjoying it! Clear skies ahead! :pilotfly:

Hey guys, Considering getting rid of this rig and purchasing something more mobile to use for DCS development. Does anybody have any experience with the Surface Book (if possible, specifically the i5/dGPU or i7/dGPU models). Thanks. :thumbup:

Added. Thanks, Rlaxoxo.

Indeed, it is already in the repository. Great work, Rlaxoxo!

Hey guys, Work on the RAZBAM DCS: AT-27 flight model is getting started, and I would like to work in parallel with a few live at-will (and at your convenience) testers. I would like three testers total, to work in a team as well as independently. I've asked two, and only one has accepted so far (the other is undecided). Please, provide some reasons why you would make a great tester! It doesn't seem like it should be a big deal, but I'm really looking to assemble a small team of real know-it-alls as opposed to a reckless squadron of...whatever you want to call it. The two that I've asked are people who I know to be very intelligent, reliable testers. However, they have no evident specialized experience with the AT-27. I need to fill that space. Some desirable experience: T-27 Operation or Maintenance Experience* PT6A-25C (or any variant PT6A) Operation or Maintenance Experience* Light Turboprop Aircraft Flight Experience Portuguese-Speaking And clarification: The AT-27 EFM is pre-Alpha at this time (work has really just begun) I can't promise you any form of compensation at this time You can test at your convenience, but at least 2-4 hours/wk is best You will need to sign an NDA If you don't want to reply to this thread, feel free to PM me with interest or question/clarifications/concerns. ____ Thank you!

I just knew this would pop up somewhere before too long!
