When I ask to have ground power, its granted, and I can start up just fine, but when I try to hit F8 again to have it shut off, the F8 does nothing. If I hit F2 it shows me a outside view. If I try to just move, they ask "What are you doing" and if I ask for taxi permissions, nothing is said. I have a X52 hotas and just need some advice to overcome this problem please ?

Thank You for the guide !!!!

Thanks Klem, Im not home to try it out until this coming weekend, but its good to know how to do it.

So how are you liking the new card ? Do you plan to buy another and SLI ? What was your old card ? Thanks

I am using three monitors at 5760 X 1080 and dont know how to tell what my FPS are in the game ???? My 4 gig 680's in SLI seem to do very nice playing the game with my i7 4790K I bought a X52 Hotas and some Pedals to fly better. I find I like the pedals for brakes, but the twist handle in the stick works better for the rudder. ************************** Just Water Cooled my two GPU's and now it doubled the power and halfed the heat **************************** Here is my setup.... Corsair 650D case Intel i7-4790K OC to 4.749@1.29V 37C Asus Maximus VII Formula Motherboard 2 EVGA GTX 680's SLI 04g-p4-2686 GSkill F3-2400C10D-16GTX CL 10-12-12-31 1.65V Corsair H100i cpu water cooler Corsair 1050 watt PSU Intel 520 series 120 gb SSD Intel 480 gig SSD 730 series Kingston Hyper 120gb SSD WB Velociraptor 70 gb HD 10,000 rpm Seagate 2tb hybrid ssd/reg Hard drive Sony DVD read/write 40 speed Logitech YUY-95 illuminated keyboard Corsair M-60 mouse Razor Nostromo mini keyboard Creative Labs 7.1 T7700 speaker system Asus DX sound card (much better then onboard sound) Cyber Power 850 AVR voltage regulator power backup Three Dell 24" monitors TYKE 73B Triple Mon Stand Free Standing Curved Arm Raystorm_AX240_Extreme_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_w_D5_Photon 200mm Pyobya Rad with two CM fans in push/pull in front.

My problem is the F9 key to get ground power is used to turn on and off the trackir5 How do I change this so my F9 will work for ground power communications ?

I was able to start her up and fly and had lots of fun this past weekend !! Thanks for your help Everyone !!!

I purchased a EVGA 4gig 680 for 600 dollars and it was one of the last ones to be warranteed for life. Now they are all KR and only 3 years. I waited about a year or so and purchased a used one for 300 bucks and the two in SLI run everything on Ultra with no problems. I had thought about upgrading to a 980, but am just not sure that it would make all that much difference with my three screens unless I purchased two of them. 5780 X 1080 is just fantastic.

P61 is my most favorite duel engine plane. Corsair is my favorite single engine for looks....

Thank You all for the help. Next time I go home I will try the oil dilution trick and hope it starts.

I was going nuts not being able to start in multiplayer, but always first time in Single. Thanks for the explanation for this problem, and I hope its fixed soon. Is there a work around ??????

thank You so much Solty !!! It was driving me nutso ! Im wondering if there is a work around for this ?

I recently tried about 12 times in Dogs of War multiplayer to start up my Mustang and was never able to do so. I then went into single player mode and it started right up the very first time I tried. I am playing single player in sim mode, not game mode, so can someone tell me what the heck am I doing wrong ? Thanks

I have the same problem. Ive erased everything and tried to reload. Nothing works for me. I tried everything that others suggested and its very frustrating. Somewhere there is a file that remembers my setup. I felt I deleted everything. Good luck and let me know what you did if you get it fixed, please

Leaving for New York, Thanks for trying. Be back for Christmas. Clear Skies

I have done EVERYTHING and nothing has worked. I wrote a ticket and they said to delete the Config/input folder and even that did not work. Its really strange that totally erasing the c users saved game area and having done the all programs/ED/repair has not helped at all. Im leaving back for work in New York so I will be back for Christmas Vacation to a broken game that I messed up. I changed and erased things by accident trying to get my new Track IR5 working, so I cant blame the game, it was all me. Just wish having totally uninstalled and re-installing everything the way I did had fixed it.

Installing both lua files did not work. I was excited and put them both also in my p51 in the game and now I have NO commands at all for p51 sim files. I keep getting myself deeper and deeper in trouble by doing the wrong things. I will now try to delete the saved game area in my c users area. Thank you for trying to help me

Thank You Dooom !!! I really appreciate it very much !!!

OK, Id like to give a shout out to TZ for helping me. I now know that the trackir5 is working perfectly and if I go to the p51 and play in game mode instead of sim mode it works great. I had messed around with a lot of settings and erased all of my axis commands for the p51 sim mode and they are still missing. Users has a saved game area where even though I erased everything, and even uninstalled and reinstalled both TIR5 and DCS World, the keyboard is empty along with everything in commands for axis. I dont know what to do. A Lua file is in place several areas I found for keyboard and at this point Im stuck as I dont know why a full reinstall or even going to program files in start area and then REPAIR DCS World has done nothing to fix the SIM p51 keyboard area.

Now I cant get anything but Smooth, default, copy of default to show up for the profile settings. I put many in the file area a10/Lukes/p51 and none of them show up to actually choose them.

I accidently erased all of my axis keyboard commands for my P-51 and now cant use the keyboard. The Lua for it is in the right place. Ive uninstalled and then reinstalled and thought that would fix it. Bad enough I cant get the new trackir5 to work in the game......

Its funny that you should mention axis commands as ALL of them are gone, including my keyboard commands. I had tried messing with them and erased the keyboard ones by accident and thought when I uninstalled and then reinstalled the whole DCS that it would come back. I dont have a backup copy of the keyboard, but when I re-installed everything, I dont understand why it was not fixed. Old files were still somewhere on pc and were reused.

Im not having limited......I have NONE My DCS control panel under the TRACKIR column is BLANK and that is why I think its not working. I downloaded the A10 profile and put it into the Trackir5 profile area and it does not show up. All I can choose from is default, copy of default and smooth.

Im thinking that as today is a work day for some, I may be able to get in touch with natural point and get some help. That its not working at all in DCS is strange now.

So after totally reinstalling the trackir5 software and the complete DCS world software on my PC, it still does nothing. I had messed around with DLL files and LUA files and had hoped that reinstalling everything would fix this. When I start the TIR5 software, and then minimise it, just the one green light is on the left side. When I start DCS, another green light comes on the right side, so it knows Im in a game. I had hoped that re-installing everything would have fixed this. It worked when I first started it up the first time, and I had the problems of not seeing left to right all that well, Now it just does nothing at all. I dont feel that I need to put dcs a10c or blackshark in as a profile, it should just be working as is ???? Thanks for your help, but Im only home for two more days, and then back to Malta New York for work and I wont have my PC to fly until Christmas. I ordered a set of pedals too, Best buy had them for 99 bucks and everyone else wanted 149 so I got a deal !!!! Thanks so much for your help !!!
