Thanks Svsmokey. I think I will keep it for a bit just in case. Then when I am ready, remove it

I updated from 1.5.8 stable to 2.5 stable and have been with 2.5 for some time now. As I am not using 1.5.8, can this be uninstalled or do I still need it in conjunction with 2.5? If it is not needed, is it a straight forward removal? I want to install 2.5 beta as there seems to be more multiplayer servers and running out of space on my hd. Cheers

LRRP, Been busy but will look at downloading beta version when time allows. Wish I had done this a while ago. Cheers for the replies

Thanks ever so much Maverick. At last, thats all i needed to know. I am using 2.5 stable up to date. Understand the dcs side after a lot of digging. I suppose a lot more will be on the beta version. Just hope that everything gets merged one day. Will check out my 1.5.8 as well just in case. Once again, a big thank you.

Sorry for sounding thick but is there a tutorial regarding joining different servers? I have managed to join a multiplayer server through DCS and found no one there lol. I have had invites and some use Discord and others Teamspeak. So I take it that the servers are running on these as well as DCS. Do I load up discord or teamspeak and join them there? I thought they were for communication only. A little confusing. I have used Tunggle in the past, are they similar? Cheers

Thanks for the info Sparky and boscoh. I tried again for a few hours and I'm pulling my hair out (nearly bald anyway) ha ha. I've tried so many adjustments to the curves and deadzone I'm getting fed up with it. I know this might be crap but, if there was an autopilot for it so that while you are practicing getting it right, you could see exactly the way to go. I think with my joystick, it's either one way or the other, no middle ground. Gentle, minute adjustments does nothing and then a little more and you are into PIO. I can fly formation with it OK, but when the basket is on it's way, the slightest movement and forget it. I think I will continue to try now and again but will fly fully tanked for the time being.

Thanks zhukov032186 I will take a look, but with upgrades, its still a minefield if money is tight. Need something middle of the road to have some confidence with.

Cheers zyll

Thanks boscoh for your help. The joystick is set on a solid worktop and cables are stored ok. I don't think I will be filing anything. I will try your settings and see how it goes. I totally agree with you regarding the joystick upgrade.

Can SimpleRadio Standalone work alongside Viacom Pro?

I'm getting very frustrated with this guys. I can stay behind the tanker no problem, but as soon as I need to do small changes to position, it all goes pear shaped. I have softened the stick and adjusted the Axis on Pitch,Roll and Rudder. This happens to all modules. General flying, landing etc, no problems. At the moment, my settings are Deadzone 10, Curvature 30. Should I loosen the stick fully, or should I be thinking of getting a better joystick. It could be me getting nervous near the end. I was thinking of setting my Hat switch to Roll as I have Pitch set already. Fed up with practising and watching videos for such a long time and getting nowhere. Any pointers to joystick etc would be great

Wow thanks. This was not in the manual i downloaded.

Thanks Greyman, i will look again. And thanks for second part

I have looked at the manual for 2.5.5 and cant see any update to PTT config with new wheel selection. What are the settings and their meanings? Would be great thanks Also, I never see that the module has been selected in config. Any ideas or just leave it.

Are there any F-18 skins I can download to use with this mod? Looking for RAF etc. Cheers

OK Hubson. The flyby sounds too whiney for me and as I have seen and heard them as they used to fly over my house very low, I can say that I never heard it that way. I will do as you said and look in the coremods folder and try to find out. I tried another sound mod but it didn't do anything that I was looking for.

Is there any chance you could add something for the AV8NB? The flyby sound is not right. I've been close to them where I live and it never sounded like that. If not, is there a way I can work on it? Not sure which file they use for the flyby.

The F18 is a great mod, but I was wondering if the wings will fold. Tried the keyboard command and nothing happened. I had more luck with the refueling boom. Got that to work by changing the command. Any help would be great. Also, lining up the plane by using U command doesnt seem to work? Update: Got the wings to fold. Not sure if there was a bug, but after last update, they work. Lights for refueling boom will be next to test as that wasn't working or the key command needs changing. Found a post concerning the U command so all round happy.

Thanks hollywood.

The work done here is amazing and needs some recognition. This is the best sound I have heard period. I think a lot of the module makers need to sit up and listen to this, as this standard should be the norm as I have found many left wanting in the sound department. Cracking work, and I hope it continues. Many thanks for this great mod

When requesting taxi on carrier, reply kept looping and ending before the end until I took off. Would it clear if I restarted mission or should I restart DCS? Also, in the Config, there is a new switch for the radios. Is there a update in the manual for this? Haven't had time to look yet but will shortly.

Everything was set. It was after returning to the map to adjust a couple of things. Worked OK on Caucasus map. I got other missions to work with Nevada so could have got stuck somewhere when saving.

I think it would be great if ED would unify the comms for multiplayer and have a standard like the Simple Standalone Radio and everyone use the same. The problem for me, is with so many bits of software needed to join different servers. I do hope this does get sorted sometime

Released the tension of the joystick by 1 1/2 turns which has made a huge difference. Still gonna look at a better joystick for the future

I see. Not going to be with you guys until I can fathom out the loss of sound in the cockpit. Might be an ongoing problem, so need to get it sorted pretty quickly
