Thank you very much, berniw. It works great. I still wish that ED implements it in DCS. DCS is unique in a way that it is the only sim to my knowledge not having axis filtering.

I have an issue with JF-17 and force feedback. It does not work properly in flight. Problem seems to occur during hard maneuvers when in addition to variable centering force shaking is introduced. At one point, as shaking intensity increases, the joystick loses centering force entirely. Shaking effects are still there, but appear changed. If I select a different aircraft in the same mission, FFB works. Restarting a mission or DCS solves the problem. The problem persists with JF-17 only and it does not happen with any other module.

Have the same problem. Cleaned both fxo and metashaders folders, no change. Still flickers like crazy. It is very distracting.

That was a strange thing I have also noticed - entire DCS folder/group from Start menu simply vanished (Start -> All Programs). Nowhere to be found. And it was in a custom subfolder of Start menu. Tried search functions and results were negative. So, repair was performed through command prompt!

Yesterday I had an issue with a new DCS update (and I hope it will not be repeated) - update process started regurarly, but then I got a message that update is 50+ GB in size, and that available space on my dedicated SSD is 10 GB. So, update process would not continue. By trying solutions alternate to bying a new drive (which is absolutely not an option now), I have tried to perform repair which would also offer to delete all not-original files (and free up some, but not the needed 50 GB of space). Surely, there was nothing to delete, since all skins, cockpits, missions, etc. reside in Saved games folder on a separate drive. And it sucessfully "repaired" my installation to existing version (without update). So, the solution that worked was that I have moved entire Mods folder (150 GB) to another drive. Update started, but it was then 170 GB in size and it had successfully completed. At the end, I have ended up with additional 4 GB of free space. Eventually, I have deleted entire backup (moved) Mods folder because there were no controller input files, skins, cockpits, mods or whatever custom-created or modified files there. Hope this helps someone with similar issues. And I really wish that someone thought a little bit more before releasing such an update.

The most popular server at the moment. :)

From several days ago:

Hacking/intrusion attempts into personal PCs and networks are quite frequent.

Yes, I would also expect that ED fixes it. I have been using Kaspersky products both at my home (personal edition) and at my work for almost 20 years (corporate edition). I have tried various other Antivirus/Anti-Malware/Firewall solutions during those years, but none came close to both efficiency and reliability of Kaspersky. Not only it is not a s.... software as you called it, but one of the best out there. But, let's set aside my personal experience. There are many reviews/comparisons by highly reputable sources to read. I have noticed that someone said that Malwarebytes (which is top-notch AV/malware cleaning solution) also shows positives. My all-around AV protection is always turned on. Right now, DCS folder and all DCS applications are excluded, and I'm not one bit happy about that. So, I expect software developer (ED in this case) to cooperate with AV software providers to prevent these issues, as many have been doing. Have no doubt that AV software providers do that all the time by either cooperating with software developers, their users or by studying their application's reports, if available.

Sorry, forgot to mention - it happens in current Openbeta 2.5.6.47404.

When you turn on IFF Transponder power and then press IFF identification button (Ident), game freezes and crashes to desktop. Should be easily reproducible.

Can confirm with S-24 rockets on Caucasus map. I can arm them, but the moment I switch weapon selector to them, the game freezes indefinitely. It happens with both or either fixed net or piper turned on.

The same.
