Navigation radio not working for me either. Hope it gets fixed. This plane is surprisingly fun to fly, especially at low altitudes and great for ground target practice.

I just want to thank you K-Dot-B for posting the fix you found for trackir disconnect. Its been a problem I've had for years, everytime I fly. Since disabling SSDP, I've not had a single disconnect. It's so nice.For anyone still looking for a fix try disabling the SSDP Discovery service in Windows. I have seen this suggestion in another thread and so far this has worked for me.Many thanks, you've simplify my life!

Anyone running the Oculus Rift using a gtx 980 Ti, 6mb graphics card and getting good results? I've been struggling whether to purchase the Rift during the sale. My pc meets or exceeds all the other specs. I spent nearly $600.00 for my 980ti in 2016. I just can't force myself to spend another $$$ on a new graphic card so soon. Any experience with the 980ti??? Thanks in advance

Authentic or not - I need a thicker AS needle or lighter color.
On approach, I do not have time to scan the whole instrument to find the needle.
Only light switch I found is left flood. Helps a little, but not much.
:joystick:
I agree totally , it can be very difficult to see the airspeed needle. It's such an important instrument, hard to believe it's that way in a real spit. Hope this gets fixed.

I know right? All I had to do is run this

start the game and paste my mig code into to activate it again. I don't know what to tell you about the Spit though.
Thank you. Mig & Spit working again. Followed instructions, option # 4. ( Reg clean and force update).

Geez, sorry for being out of line. That was a curve ball I didn't see coming but the fix,if you did update before turning the Mig off is easy. Again sorry for being an ass. You guys still rock.
What's the fix if you updated before turning the mig off? I've updated both maps before finding out about the pre install steps. Can't fly the spitfire after the update either, except in the Nevada map. All I wanted was to fly tonight not spend the evening troubleshooting. There must be a better way to update.

Go your axis section in the DCS control panel. If you have standard rudder pedals with toe brakes, you can bind both toe brakes to the same brake axis, which makes it a whole lot easier and intuitive when pushing the rudders and the brake axis.
Thank you for the tip! When I assign just one toe brake it works fine but when I assign the second toe brake it doesn't hold the brake and the pressure needles get irratic. Also, I cannot set the brake handle with the wheel mouse with both toe brakes assigned. Not sure what I'm doing wrong? However, I'm finding it easier to taxi even using one toe brake. I can see where mapping both toe brakes would be even better.

This. The ease of access and precision of the axis used for wheel braking makes all the difference.
If your axis is not too easy to access or manipulate, anticipating the 15% brake before touchdown is kind of valid since you cannot do what would be done IRL.
But, at least with my hardware (X55 + MFG Crosswind rudder), since I moved the brake axis from a rotary under my thumb on the throttle to both toe brakes on my rudder, I can manage landing without engaging brakes beforehand, with 100% success and far more easily. The trick is to find a natural movement for the braking, and at least on the MFG, when I push the rudder one side and toe brake with the other foot, it makes the movement perfectly natural and easy.
How are you guys able to map brakes to the toe peddles., I don't see that option in the control settings? Thanks.

Install VC14 runtime update, as pointed in the patch release notes (last line):
https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3067976&postcount=22
Truth to be told, who the hell came up with idea of placing such an important information at the very end of release notes, not even in bold font? Some people read it, but quite a few didn't, as numerous posts like the first one here indicate.
Thank you for the link. That fixed it, what a relief. I'll be sure to read through the release notes next time.
Great forum.. Thank you all.

Just finished installing today's update to the Nevada map. Now I cannot launch the sim. I get the following error message:
"DCS.exe-System Error The program can't start because VCRUNTIME140.DLL is missing from your computer"
Anyone else having this issue? Any easy fix?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having a problem with my trackir frequently disconnecting from within dcs if I pause the game for a few minutes, (to view a manual on my second screen for example). To get tir to work again in DCS, I have to exit dcs and relaunch it from my desktop. Anyone have experience with this problem?
Thanks

Downloading the Viggen as we speak, so excellent timing Chuck ☺. Looking forward to working through your guide. Thanks so much!

I believe the cross appears if you're flying too slow or too fast also. I forget what the required speed range is, somewhere between 350-450 maybe? Double check the manual regarding speed requirements for ccip bombing

Thank you for the update. I admire you guys for sticking with it

I'm disappointed that I will not receive the Viggen tomorrow as advertised. But I blame myself. This is my third pre-ordered module and each one was an emotional rollercoaster ride, filled with broken promises. I'm done with pre-ordering, it's not worth the few dollars saved and the time wasted.
Time to learn the A10C

Well I am on a disability pension and have not the latest 7 years had the possibility to eat out. Our experinces is so individual. But we all love this game, which make this forum and our hobby so great. Best regards from a little country in the north.
Hi from California. I should have put more thought into my post. I seldom eat out because it is so expensive in this area. The Viggen is a much better value and will keep on giving
. All the best to you. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

I preordered the Viggen mostly on LNS reputation for delivering a great sim. The way I look at the cost is I can easily spend $50 dollars on a nice dinner and flush it down the toilet in a few hours. Whereas the Viggen (and all my other modules) gives enjoyment for years.

I certainly wouldn't put Razban in the same category as the Hawk and C101. He has been very responsive to the community and has delivered an awesome fighter, the Mirage 2000c.
Although I've been very disappointed with the C101 (and the Hawk), progress, I admire that they continue to work on it, to fulfill their commitment . They could have just walked away. I only pre-purchase from Ed And LN now. Can't wait for the Viggen release ☺

Thank you for the good news. I'm very happy that you will finish the C101 this year. I'm looking forward to learning all the systems.
Happy new year!

I don't think it's physically implemented yet. Zeus tends to give a brief on the system just prior to the feature being introduced to the player branch. The VAD function is the only one really deserving of much mention. The true/mag/TACAN switch settings are quite straightforward.
If you understand how to input an INS BAD waypoint offset by distance, direction (rho, theta) then you get TACAN VAD. If not, no worries.
1. Dial in a TACAN station, change the HSI to TAC display. Needle and range are shown direct to station.
2. HSI to VAD, should be no change of display as rho, theta values start at zero unless the pilot changes them.
3. Switch HSI to rho and crank in a distance. The knob in the lower left of the HSI is held + or - until the range readout is what you want. Let's say that it's 10.0nm in this case.
4. Switch HSI to theta and crank in a direction in a similar way. It will be the digital numbers that usually show a distance but instead it will read 001-360 degrees. Perhaps we set it to 090 for east.
5. Switch back to VAD to use these inputs. Now instead of the needle and range readings showing the direction and distance to the TACAN they show the direction and distance to a calculated point 10nm east of the station. If you fly directly to this location by following the needle until range shows zero you will be 10nm east of the TACAN station.
6. To resume using the TACAN station's true position switch the HSI mode to TAC. Alternatively crank the rho value to 0 in which case TAC and VAD will be identical as before.
A note on the lower left knob for entering the offset data: I've never touched the real thing but I give dollars to doughnuts that it's a spring-loaded device like a household doorknob. Commonly on these types of controls rotating the knob slightly makes the values change slowly and rotating more makes the values change faster. When release the knob spring returns to the original position. And if it was missed before I think the art for the knob is upside down. Every Mirage picture I've seen has the knob with the + on the left, - on the right, and the curved arrow below in the "smiley face" orientation.
This is helpful... Thanks!

Stuck at logo screen when starting up the game
in Game Crash
Posted · Edited by bernp
For some time, DCS would only load after restarting my computer (I usually keep my computer in sleep mode). After running DCS a couple of times, it would get stuck at the loading logo, (the first small DCS logo that appears after launching DCS) and I would have to reboot again. I tried all the suggestions I could find online, except reinstalling DCS. Then I found a fix: killing the TrackIR process in the task manager under the details tab, while DCS is still in the stuck mode. DCS resumes loading normally after that. I restart TrackIR app after DCS loads. I don't know why TrackIR is causing DCS to hang up, but killing TrackIR in task manager details is much quicker than rebooting my computer.
