This is an awesome app! It works as advertised. Thank you for your excellent work.

Some pics of QF-4's at Point Mugu NAS, and one of the last of them being crushed and sent to recycling. The Qf-4 NOLO is No Live Operator.

Thank you sir. I believe you are correct since my wife and I both have the 90th patches from when we were there. I appreciate you jogging my memory, and having much better eyes than me.

I was an F-4 crewchief at Clark AB Philippines and worked on this plane many times. Can anyone identify the logo circled in the photo? This is the best picture I've been able to find. Actually, the only one. Unfortunately it crashed on take-off going back to home station (Clark AB), the aft caught fire during take-off. Once airborne, aircrew ejected successfully...aircraft crashed into the Yellow Sea off the coast of airbase.

I will remember that. Thank you. And thank you for taking the time to help.

No way. It worked!!! Flappie, thank you so much. I owe ya one bigtime. Wonder why it kept those file entries even after I deleted the game from Steam and did all the other stuff? You know what? I don't even care. It's working again and I can't thank you enough. Take care..I'm going flying again!

Thank you so much for responding. Yep, I notice there were errors in the log file but I'm not sure I want to be poking around in the DCS directory too much. I do believe this whole thing started with me using multiple Mod Managers. I had installed one months prior but had forgotten about it. then it was suggested to use another which I did. I'm pretty sure one or both or my stupidity that caused it. I was hoping a reinstall and or validate would fix it. Nope. Here's my directory structure. With the exception of a Textures directory in the CoreMods it looks like it's ok. The big question is how do I fix it. Just go back through the errors and see if I can't move files? Thanks for help Flappie. This has been driving me crazy.

Have you tried pausing it before walking away to see if that helps? I have that mapped to a button. Are you using the reflector or LED? I don't believe you can restart the TIR once you're in the game. However, I have had a few lockups (rarely) but have been able to pull the usb plug and reconnect and the game sees it fine. As long as it's running before the game starts as I'm sure you know. This works both in IL2 and DCS. But you can't stop TIR while the games running then restart it , at least not to my knowledge. It has to be running 1st. I'm not sure how the FBMS would work while the games running?

Installed from Steam. I get a missing WWII Armour & Technics error now when running DCS open beta. I have all the required DLC. I have... 1. De/reinstalled DCS thru Steam. 2. Reinstalled all my DLC. 3, Validated files several times. 4. Cleaned Saved Games folder. 5. Cleaned Steam download cache. All the missions that came with the Spit, P-51 etc give me the above error. I also get errors on some servers saying I need the WWII Assets Pack installed. It is. I can't log into some servers anymore. Now every time I validate files it always comes up with a lot that needs replacing. This is driving me nuts Any help would be appreciated. dcs.log dcs.log.old

You have got to be kidding me. I turned that off and now everything works. What the............? So we checked and since he was forcing that off in the mission editor everything would work fine in MP. But not in non MP mode. At least that what we suspect, per your suggestion. Now that that's solved, the question is, how the heck did that get turned on? It never has been or was to my knowledge. We've always been in the most realistic mode. Actually, I don't give a s##t. It works now and I can fly. So thank you for your help. Hope I can return the favor sometime.

Roger...thank you for your help. Here's my screenshots. I owe ya bro! it's been driving me crazy. You can see the throttle is working by the white line. Everything in the Adjust Controls always works. It's when I get into the cockpit....ugh.

So, is it the mission?

Here's two track files. The 1st is from a mission that came with the F-18. Carrier TO. (Carrier TO - Test.trk) The throttle did not work but shows working in Adjust Controls. The 2nd file is from a mission my buddies and I fly. (Mission - Test.trk) In stand-alone mode, the throttle did not work. Starting it in MP everything works fine. (I could not see a way to save a track file when playing MP?) On both missions I just started, verified throttle worked, then exited and saved track file. I swear it's a bug that's letting me fly ok in MP but not always stand-alone. My JS is and has been functioning perfectly. It shows up as working in DCS. I can bind keys, load profiles without a problem, that is until 2 patches back. I did uncheck it in Steam, verified it wasn't showing up in the game, rechecked and let it download the 800+Mb of F-18 data then reverified it showed up and was working. But I still have this throttle issue and can not figure out what the heck is going on? And it only in the F-18. all my other planes and heli's work just fine. Thank you for any help. It's much appreciated. Carrier TO - Test.trk Mission - Test.trk DxDiag.txt

I will do that today..thank you.

Nope, that wasn't it. After much hair pulling I did a complete install of DCS and all my modules. Still no joy. Every plane I either put into the mission editor or fly works just fine except the Hornet. I have no throttle. It works perfectly in the Training scenarios. But does not work in a regular mission or any either that me or my buddies have created. Yet it works fine if we do the same mission in multiplayer. Here's what I've done, 1. Checked for duplicate mapping. (Nope, shows up fine in the Adjust Controls page) Works fine, moves, I can fine tune, everything. Go back into the game and it doesn't work. If I hit the throttle it immediately goes to that mapping and works. 2. It's not in Game mode. I triple checked that. 3. In Multiplayer it seems to work fine...sometimes. Other times it doesn't. That is really weird to me. If I want to fly, and hope it works, I have to run everything from MP. And even then it's a crap shoot. 4. Some of the canned missions the throttle works. Others, nope. 5. I've done everything short of messing with the registry trying to figure out why it's only the Hornet I'm having problems with? Note: I do have a Logitech profiler that loads with Windows. If I remove it nothing works. I also tried using a F-18 X-52 profile that I downloaded here. Nope, although when it does work I like the profile. At this point I think I may try and remove the F-18 module and reinstall it again. Couldn't be any worse than it is now unless they try and charge me again. lol They don't do that do they? Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm tapped out and my buds are too. Everything had been working perfectly so it's driving me nuts. Everything is running from Steam. I've never had a problem all these years using Steam.
