802 or 502 Airtractor! Even a clone of the yak flight dynamics in a skin with a spray function would be neat. I’m sure there are some other ag jocks out there...?!

Given the inclusion of the -non warbird- Cristian Eagle, how about the ultimate Ag machine.. a 502 or 802 Airtractor? Even a clone of the yak flight dynamics in a skin with a spray function would be neat. I’m sure there are some other zag jocks out there...?!

Slaw order I placed my email order today. Has anyone got advice on the performance of the pedal for Heli use? In particular Dora (stirrup) vs Viper ( floor) I can’t wait to replace my old CH products pedals!

Why wont this work for a F18 Speed Brake Toggle?? (hold switch = Brake extend, Release =Retract) { down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, up = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Speed Brake Switch - TOGGLE'), category = {_('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}},

Has anyone else had their axis screwed up my modifying .lua? I tweaked the F18 Master Arm, Speed Brake and Canopy Open/Close .lua and all the available axis were reduced to a bare minimum... eg one thrust, no L/R brakes etc plus about 20 others missing. (see pic). After undoing my changes, all the axis returned. How is this avoided?

SOLVED! I had made a couple of changes to the default.lua (I edited the Master Arm Switch, Speed Brake and Canopy Open/Close to suit my setup) D:\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\<aircraftname>\input\<aircraftname>\joystick\default.lua Something in there screwed the Axis available thereafter. After I restored the default .lua all was good again.

Last night I mapped all my F18 Axis in 2.5.3 (stable) This morning when I start - only a limited choice of Axis including ONE thrust option. Arrrrgh I have checked my Hotas USB plug and it is working.

Iv just put in a new 1080ti and although light years better than my old 1060, my FPS is locked on 45. Only in the start screen does it sit at 90. Iv been tweaking up and up all the Gfx options but nothing changes the FPS...?! Someone suggested unchecking full screen ( didntbmake any difference) Help please

Nope. No change. Dang it! Any other ideas?

Can someone PLEASE explain why my FPS is LOCKED at 45 when flying. The start screen has it at 90. Iv just installed a new 1080ti (massive improvement over my old 1060!) and have been tweaking all the settings up and up, but nothing changes the Frame rate....?

As usual- Thanks Fellas! An Interesting discovery.... My Directory structure is not standard due to the migration of the old DCS alpha and beta to the new 2.5 (I ran out of drive space ). When I installed the new DCS World 2.5, it went into the existing -default- Eagle Dynamics folder ie: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World When I later installed 2.5 open beta into another drive (D:\DCS World OpenBeta), a 2nd DCS World folder appeared in the same drive (D:\DCS World) In the past few days I have been working on my Toggle and Sw bindings using the 'default.lua' (with help form this forum!) but it has been complicated by me trying to change the default location .lua (C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Input\AV8BNA\joystick), when in fact it only worked when I used the other location. (D:\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Input\AV8BNA\joystick). Not at all what I expected and quite a frustrating exercise trying to figure out why none of my new switchings showed up in 2.5._

My attempt at mapping the AV8 Airbrake to my HOTAS toggle failed. What I am trying to achieve is: Extend Airbrake when I hold the switch, then retract when it is released. Orig Code: {down = iCommandPlaneAirBrake, name = _('Airbrake TOGGLE'), category = _('HOTAS')}, {down = iCommandPlaneAirBrakeOn, name = _('Airbrake ON'), category = _('HOTAS')}, {down = iCommandPlaneAirBrakeOff, name = _('Airbrake OFF'), category = _('HOTAS')}, My failed coding: {down = 3491, up = 3491, cockpit_device_id = 28, value_down = 1, value_up = 0, name = _('Speedbrake TOGGLE'), category = _('HOTAS')}, and {down = iCommandPlane_HOTAS_AirBrakeOn, up = iCommandPlane_HOTAS_AirBrakeOff, name = _('Speed Brake Toggle 2'), category = _('HOTAS')}, (The Device ID for DCS 2.5 is 27, and 2.5beta is 28 ) I successfully worked it for the A10 using: {down = iCommandPlane_HOTAS_SpeedBrakeSwitchAft, up = iCommandPlane_HOTAS_SpeedBrakeSwitchForward, name = _('HOTAS Speed Brake Toggle'), category = _('HOTAS')}, I know Im close....

Or OH6 , H369, MD500... LITTLE BIRD PLEEEEEASE

Thanks. I just didnt recognise the code as the only ones i edited were on the UH1H and FW190 which 'look' a bit different... Anyhow, that suggestion didnt work for me, but I trolled back through the forum and re-discovered your link to "how to edit control bindings". In there I found this (new since I last read) and it works perfectly with the AV8 in 2.5 Orig Code: {down = iCommandSwitchMasterArm, name = _('Master Arm Switch'), category = _('Armament Control')}, New Code: {down = iCommandSwitchMasterArm, up = iCommandSwitchMasterArm, name = _('Master Arm 2-Pos ARM/SAFE'), category = _('Armament Control')}, -- use with ON/OFF switch

hmmmmm... My default.lua looks different (hence me thinking I was in the wrong place.) My directory structure is a little different as I chose to install 2.5.1Open beta in a diff drive from the Eagle Dynamics Directory. eg D:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Input\AV8BNA\joystick The code in my default.lua looks like this: {down = iCommandSwitchMasterArm, name = _('Master Arm Switch'), category = _('Armament Control')}, I cant seem to find similar code to what you posted in any of my folders...? Have I screwed up by changing the default installation directory ??

Ive used the expertise here before for switching solutions. I cant seem to find the default.lua files now iv gone to 2.5 and 2.5OB. I need to tweak the AV8 Master Arm switch... Help please

Woohoooo!! Solved. This time instead of making a fresh 'Saved Games' folder, repair, cleanup, restart etc, I just deleted it altogether. In conjunction with the fresh install, IT NOW WORKS!:thumbup: Thank you Bignewy for your persistence in helping me get through this issue.

UNBELIEVABLE... I finally had time to do a fresh install of open Beta. (takes forever (1 whole day) due to my internet connection) No change- still freezes at 55% To be clear, I deleted the Folder DCS World OpenBeta from my C drive and reinstalled the NEW version in a different drive. I did not delete DCS World folder. This is soooooo disappointing!

sooooo... Am I correct in that this Kneeboard Builder app WILL NOT work with the latest 2.5 version(s) ? Im very interested but wont be trying if its problematic

Cheers Bignewy. Yes, I completely removed the Saved Games Folder and created a fresh empty one, Restarted, Cleanup and Repair. I have also deleted the \MissionEditor as described, Restart, Cleanup and Repair. dxdiag attached I guess Im going to have to Reinstall DCS Open Beta...? ...sigh.... Im sure this problem began after creating a mission in the Editor.... DCS world 2.5 runs fine DxDiag.txt

Thanks for attempting to help me... I made a new Saved Games folder after Cutting the old one out and saving elsewhere. Then Cleanup, Repair & Restart. The new Saved Games folder remains empty (I thought it would have repaired new contents??) Game still hangs at 55% load

Nope... Didnt work. Did exactly as described above and still wont load past 55% arrrrrrrgggh! new log attached. PLEASE help log.txt

No changes at my end but DCS 2.5b has begun freezing at Startup (55%) load. Can only 'END TASK" via task manager to get out. Multiple repairs carried out. Nvidia drivers updated. No way to load Log attached dcs.txt

All of a sudden DCS 2.5 will not load. It freezes at 55% in the DCS spsash screen

Im having the same issue. Im stuck at 25frames and NOTHING will change it. Iv tried tweaking ALL the settings and the frame rate is constant- the only difference is with Higher settings i get more stutter. GTX 1060 @3.6 i7 7700
