Hey, thanks for the answer, this is what I kind of figured. Great map, maybe I'll need to just install the standalone version.

Sorry if this has been asked already; I have the Nevada NTTR for the stand alone version of DCS, however, I'd like to move the NTTR map to the Steam version; is this possible and if so how? Thanks and good day! DrDetroit

Ok, thanks for the explanation.

I thought when TTI hits 16 sec, and start flashing, that's when AIM-54 goes pitbull; is this incorrect? Wonder if I wait longer to extend I'll have higher hit ratio - I usually extend at 16 sec (TTI) and typically launch at <40nm.and end up with roughly 50% hit ratio.

I'm not sure but is the F8 salute the same as the Lshift+U command? Thought I read they are two different actions...anyhow, give it a try.

^^This right here! Well worth the money, and get the pro-clip if you can. I have both the pro-clip and hat clip; the hat clip is ok, but not as precise as the pro-clip for headphones. The interface in fantastic and once you get the curves properly set it's so natural to look around. Good luck! DrDetroit

You'll see the bugged target start to flash in the TID repeater while in TWS, at about 16 sec to impact.

Cool, thanks for the explanation! I'm now looking forward to it as well! Love the B model, my fav module so far. So I know I'll love the A model. BTW: from photos I've seen of the A model office, are the avionics, radar, and such the similar to the B?

Just curious why everyone seems anxious for the F-14A? We have hi-fidelity A+ (B), why the excitement for a early, less capable, model?

Yes, me too! I think the best module to date. I was skeptical and purchased the F/A-18. The F-14 being a bit older and steam gauges everywhere, but after the F-14B free trial, I was hooked totally and 100%. Haven't touched the 18 since. I do really enjoy the Huey too, alot! But right now the F-14 is my go to. Good day, DrDetroit

At the top of the menu above, set TASK to refueling. Barring that, just delete it and redo/replace. I had same basic issue, even though setup properly. I deleted it, redid the waypoints, and it worked. Good luck! DrDetroit

Thanks guys. Yes, I turned off the windows USB power management in device mangler, just incase. I should have done the Win update check first, instead of last! Although I've been meaning to clean out of DCS file, so I guess there's that. But as of yet, looks like all is well.

Yes, I believe that was the one!

My issue with the USB ports is solved - thus far! No USB crashes. Seems it was a very large Windows-10 update, which took about 3 hours to DL and install. Once Windows rebooted my computer several times, I logged in and Windows started to auto update my USB ports and plugins and installed my Warthog and other peripherals. Anyhow, thanks for your help gentlemen! Good day, DrDetroit

Actually, you read my mind! I'm installing an large Win10 update now - fingers crossed! I'll post if it fix it, just in case anyone else in future has same issues.

Good day everyone, So a recent issue just manifest itself whereby while in DCS my 3.0 USB ports will just turn off, killing my head tracking and HOTAS and anything else plugged in. 2.0 USB are not affected, although I have only a few 2.0 ports. This happens in the non-beta Steam version. I just uninstalled/reinstalled the Steam and stand alone versions to no avail. The stand alone was having same issue but not as prevalent. I made sure that power management turned off in Device Mangler, ect. No changes, no installs, just all of a sudden as of last evening out of nowhere. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Good day, DrDetroit

Hey, thanks for the quick heads up! I'll grab the latest....I must have downloaded the older version. No hassle at all! Thanks for your work.

I'm having an issue with Mission-2. During cold start, a helo flies in (MH-53 maybe?) and land right on cat-3 runway, so my wingman can't take off. I took a quick look at it in ME and didn't see any waypoints for the helo, so assume it's a script or trigger. Kind of a bummer lol. Good day, DrDetroit

Actually, my bad....it talks about g-limiters that limit pilot to about 9g IN 1.5 seconds...not FOR 1.5 seconds. I haven't read the whole thing yet, but 9G for 30 seconds seems waaay too long, but maybe you are correct. Seems would be more like 5-10 seconds at 9X gravity.

An interesting article about this is Air Force Magizine. Many have probably already read this - but seems if you can't sustain 8G for several seconds before G-Lock in the F-16 this would seem very off. Basically it points out that today's pilot can sustain about 9G for about 1.5 seconds in the F-16, or similar "high agility" aircraft. I don't own the F-16 but can pull about 9G before G-Lock sets in the F-14B -seems about right. Anyhow, here is the link: https://www.airforcemag.com/article/1091glock/ Good day, DrDetroit Anyhow, an interesting read

I gotta get me a VR headset...the experience I hear is fantastic, and you, OP, confirmed that again. Although I'm going to have to lock my game room door, as I don't want my girl seeing me with a box on my head though. VAICOM? Going to have to check that out, same with VoiceAttack, which I don't use yet, but thinking about it so I can talk to Jester. Thanks and good day! DrDetroit

This script looks really cool! Rescue helo that will be on station, ready to pickup pilots that have ejected. Has anyone tried to implement this in a mission? Wondering if it works. Good day, DrDetroit

100% agree with jmarsp. I mean, do Majors actually fly in combat at that rank? Probably NO! Also, seems you can only obtain one of each medal. That seems kinda goofy as well, they should stack...esp the Purple Heart! Anyhow, F4 BMS probably has the best logbook in the sims I fly. DCS logbook needs a bottom to top revamp, with more precise data, and stacking medals. After all, to a pilot, virtual or real, combat or civilian, the logbook is important stuff!! BTW: surprised there's no mod for better logbook. Is there inaccessible data in DCS to create a mod or some other issue? Good day! DrDetroit

I can turn down Jester just fine - yea, he is ear drum splitting loud - The Who live loud! Not sure why you guys can't turn him down though. Self-evident, however, check your ICS control panel, turn the volume dial to the left (far left dial).

I typically purchase my modules from Steam, and then transfer module to stand alone if I want to fly the stand alone version (only because my Nevada map is on stand alone - not purchased via Steam). This way I have both if needed. However, I typically fly the Steam version, unless I need my Nevada map. I like that Steam monitors my DCS hours, as sometime it seems the pilot log isn't accurate and DL is much faster, as stated above. I just prefer the Steam interface. Anyhow, my $0.02 worth! Good day!
