Hi, Perhaps this is a dumb question but what does exactly the following part from the release notes mean? Best, Marcel

Thanks, it helps indeed, does not make it go away totally but improves. Did not even try that as I did not expect that lowering the quality would actually improve the situation :)

Hi, I really can't stand the water reflection shimmering. It makes the view very unrealistic and constantly draws your attention to it. Is there a way to turn off the water reflections? I tried all kind of settings but nothing seems to help. Best, Marcel

Hi, First played lasts beta without this mod when it was not available, then realized how much I need it, the shimmering shadows drive me nuts. ;) If only there was a way to get rid of the shimmering water reflections... But thanks for this great mod, could not play DCS without it! Best

Indeed I tested and a rearm command will close it

+1 Either automatic (random?) or perhaps even better configurable in the mission editor

Is it possible to setup a mission with an offset radial or is it automatically chosen in DCS (and always a straight in)? And if not will this option be added later?

Thanks for our answers! Indeed I expected something like this.

Hi, I searched the forums already and found indeed that the UHF radio's are not supposed to work before the engines are running (at least one of them or use external power). I was a bit surprised that loss of both engines in air (running out of fuel, indeed not smart but it does happen ;) ) means you also lose the radio's. I did a bit of reading and aren't the radio's supposed to be fed by the essential bus in that case (on battery)? UFC is then not working but the channel selectors icw the radio's could be fed by the essential bus. Or is this indeed incorrect and is no generator -> not radio at all? Best, Huppel

Thanks, did some tests and it works now! Did not know I could (should) skip the "checking in" part (used to work in the past, I always followed what is (currently) on page 41 of the manual where it is included, perhaps better to remove it there). One more question: just using " 'recipient', options" to get the menu and then use "take x" to select an item from the list indeed does not work. Is this on purpose? I always thought it is a nice workaround if I did not know what to say and I thought it worked in the past. Best Marcel

Hi, I seem to have a problem contacting jtac (think since last update but cannot exactly remember when I last tried it). I can send the request and also hear my command being played but there is no response. I also tried using "jtac options" and then "take 1" but with the same result. When I'm not running viacom and play the same mission using DCS menu communications everything works fine. I noted that I sometimes see the following (strange?) line in the VoiceAttack window, might that have something to do with it? : 9:10:29.773 To use carrier communications, activate your Eagle Dynamics Supercarrier module license. 9:10:29.769 Recognized : 'checking in' 9:10:27.709 (awaiting additional input) 9:10:27.705 Recognized : 'axeman' Best, Marcel

Ah, I'm playing in VR and never even realized this with the new cockpit. But when I close one of my eyes indeed part of the HUD is gone ;) With both eyes open I can see the whole HUD. View for VR users is perfect now, hope if it will be changed this view will be made an option Best, Marcel

Thanks for the new update! When I try to import the "Viacom pro airio.vap" to update the copmmands I get an "Error loading profile data. [There is an error in XML document (1,1).] Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1." error message. Am I doing something wrong? Should I first delete some old commands? Best Regards, Marcel

Thanks! Looking forward to the video ;)

Hi, I can't figure out how to place the throttle handle into the shutoff position. Whatever I click, although the uncage handle goes down, I cannot get the throttle into the backward position. I there a way to do this? BTW can we please also have device binds for getting the throttle to the on and off position? Best, Huppel

please also add: [Device] Eject

At least understand the Config window problem, it has to do with having VoiceAttack on my 2nd monitor. If I move both to my first monitor everything works as expected. If I have it on my 2nd monitor, the Viacom config window always needs to be moved, It seems to be positioned outside my screen (my assumption there is a problem because of the resolution difference between my 1st and 2nd monitor). Playing with the minimzed flags does not make a difference for me (I have them both off btw)

Only problem is I have to do this now everytime I restart Voicecontrol and want to look at the config (I prefer to have the PTT window open when playing). Is there a way I can have Voicecontrol/Windows remember the latest position?

Had the same problem but this resolved it, thanks! Huppel

Thanks, indeed f-14b does work. Turns out the livery I used was probably just incorrect, downloaded another one and that one did work. Thanks for your help, Marcel

Yes, know that one works, but I prefer to use the Saved Games folder not to mess up my install, I do the same for my other modules. Is that not (yet) possible for the F14?

Hi, I'm trying to install my first 14 livery into C:\Users\...\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\f-14b but whatever folder I use the livery is not available in DCS (and the country is correct of course, double checked). What folder name should I use? Kind regards, Marcel

Okay, checked and the auto trim is off (didn't even know it was there). It looks like the yaw on throttle application is much less aggressive. But perhaps it is just my imagination, hadn't flown any of the props for a while but I always had trouble taking of without crashing and now I can successfully take off without problems. Perhaps I'm just getting better at it ;)

I noticed the same thing yesterday. And it is not only the yak, was playing with the Bf 109 and Spitfire IX as well and takeoff was definitely much easier (takeoff assistance and autorudder fully off).

Hi, Tried to find out what the "switch Jester" command does and what I've noticed it switched the TIS TV out put to lantirn, correct? Would it be possible to make Jester also keep the TIS mode to TV? When I switch back and forth from pilot to RIO he immediately chnages the TIS mode again. As an alternative could you perhaps add a Jester on/off option like we have in the wheel? (one that I would like better as there are other cases when I want to for a short time be the RIO and switch back and forth without Jester changing switches in between) Best, Marcel
