anyone know a solution to this on win 8.1? There is no Aero to disable, afaik

I just gave Ricards cockpit mod a try and holy shit, this is amazing!!! thanks!!

try disabling radio messages from other flights in the options, it might be that there is so much com chatter that the JTAC somehow gets lower priority and waits endlessly for a chance to make his transmission?

yes, I use win 8.1 64 bit, the game, the TM cougar MFDs and everything else I have in periphery works great with win8.

The viewport GUI for ATC works great, but Im wondering if it is possible to also restrict the F10 map to the center screen only, same with the multiplayer server selection interface and the main menus. Is that also doable?

I remember seeing a guide or tutorial video, where instead of manually entering the coordinates, the pilot would simply use the TAD and slew the sensors to the red symbol on the moving map. Is that not much easier than typing in coordinates? Whats the advantage of entering a new waypoint in the CDU over using the TAD?

just wanted to say thanks again for your help! I followed the advice of the first replies to my original post in this thread and indeed you were right of course. snap views are totally not needed, all I had to do is set and configure track IR properly (especially setting 'smoothing' to very high helped me a lot!).

thank you for your helpful replies! I will follow your suggestion and try to set up track IR in a better way, without using snap views. I have the latest trackir software (version5.x), my hardware is old though. I use the TrackIR 4, with the hat clip, not the pro clip. Is that good enough, or would you recommend upgrading either TrackIR fro 4 to 5, and the hat reflector to the active LED verions of the track clip pro, or both?

Hi all, I got into DCS a few days ago and I am loving it so far! I spent hours after work browsing forums and skimming through guides, yet I still fail to set up my cockpit views the way I want. I use 3 screen in Nvidia surround and mapped the grey dial on the hotas throttle to zoom, which works great. First my trackIR Z-axis was mapped to zoom, which resulted in my nose glued right against the front console and I could not use any zoom keys anymore. After some forum searches, I found that trackIR overrides any zoom, so I remapped the trackir z-axix to absolute longitude shift camera view (who came up with this name :huh: ). I also remapped zoom to the grey dial on the warhtog throttle, so now it works, finally. however, I simply cannot access most of my consoles. When I move my head and lean forward to access knobs and switches, the trackIR camera starts moving and jittering and its nearly impossible to get a good stabilized view angle? I then read various guides on snap views. Here is my problem, as soon as track IR is on, I cannot get any snap views to work. The headtracker seems to override those. Right now, I see two options: 1. instead of using a 3-screen surround view, I simply use my center monitor only for 3d cockpit view, and mirror all panels to my 2 other screens, by setting up a proper .lua. that would work, but its less immersive I think 2. I get snap views to work with track IR, but I dont know where my problem is. Do I need to additionally bind a disable trackir key together with my snap view? so that the tracker is turned off everytime I use a snap view? would that work? I thank you so much for helping me!
