Found em dont know why but each mission I edit seems to only give me a limited choice of loadouts!

Yeah think it was cause I was editing a training mission. Still havent got them to work yet or found them though! "AKAN 30/55 gun pod The gun pods consist of a 30 mm AKAN (Automat KANon) m/55 (ADEN) in gun pod with 150 rounds per gun (30/55 MINGR55 HE rounds.) The pods can either be used in an air-to-air or an air-to-ground role. Casings and links remain in the pod after firing. "

On the black shark when I want to open or close the safety on my cannon, I simply press the button pre assigned on my Warthog, once for 'on' twice for 'off' no problem. But now I want to map a similar function to the viggen I find that I cant do so, as it will only recognize the switch as one button, and both 'arm' and 'safe' seem to require diffrent buttons. If try to use button 5 for both it will simply overwrite! Obviously this is a huge limitation and I hope to God I'm just missing something! Is this even possible, and if so what should I do? Understand I dont wish to add modifiers (needs to use keyboard only for some reason?) the same switch should serve as a the safety cages on and off mechanism! Anyone help me out?

They should be called ARKAN pods right? But the thing is in the mission editor when I try to select a payload with ARKAN or gun pods, they dont seem to be there! Do they maybe go by another name?

Sorry double post

Guys does the Viggen have a cannon/gun?

Astronaught put it this way, today a bug stopped me from using my jetseat, and in all honestly I couldnt bare to fly without it! It ruined my day off and I refused to fly the Viggen until it was fixed. Once you've got used to it a while it just feels vital because it brings home a tactile sensation of flight which is suddenly and conspiciously absent as soon as you try to do without it. As an example go full throttle and crank up the after burner, and you feel it increasing beneath you- you feel the power of the engine. Combined with VR is just well the final piece of the puzzel! You feel you cannons reverberating around the AC, or your wheels touching down on the tarmac! It's really something! How relative sensations of mere rumble can simulate such a convincing and varied effect! That said, as today vividly illustrated, its kind of like VR itself and I would call it a work in progress with many things that need to be ironed out. Its completely dependant on the simshaker software (if you want to use USB mode and dont wish to buy a new soundcard) which is touted as free software and made by a guy in his spare time who very generously will help you if need be. The manufacturer adamently refuses to view the software and the seat as two parts of the same thing, even though USB mode (the very reason this butt kicks buttkicker) is entirely dependant upon the simshaker software itself and wont work without. Maybe I'm being silly but I'd much prefer that the manufacturers market the simshaker software as something included within the overall jetseat package and something they stand behind as much as the seat itself both things under warrenty if one or the other should fail. To be honest this is what I assumed when buying it and they did themselves by their own admission develop the software. Lets say simshaker software for whatever reason one day wont work? I doubt you'd get a refund and without the software it wont work for something like DCS unless you want to use it in sound mode, and I myself bought it specifically for USB mode and to avoid sound mode. These minor issues aside however well, what I said above! Its brilliant!

Thanks man really appreciate it, it was driving me crazy! All better now. Dont worry about the other bugs they seem to have cleared up after I did a virus scan. I believed it was the same problem today because it did seem very similar and I didnt realize updates where automatic so I just assumed it was the same problem that had somehow got worse! Again really thanks!

I got the Viggen and am blown away with how it feels and how much precision you are allowed over it control wise, compared to something like the mig-21! Sadly though my jetseat and simshaker software is crashing whenever I crash my AC so I will have to wait for a patch (developer says one is coming) until I can get back to it. Hard to play without a jetseat now in VR!

Sorry think its a language misunderstanding, but I dont really understand your post. Do you mean that everything is working fine for you and you are not experiencing this crash with any module? Try taking aircraft like a mig 21 viggen or A10C and fly it fast into the ground a few times. Sometimes it doesent crash but it often does. This problem seemed to start yesterday not sure why! What do you mean by 'terrestiral technique' and 'perhaps it is a local mistake'?

Yes the Ka-50 seems to work too. Only the jet planes seem to be crashing the seat though I havent really tested it properly. But the A10C crashed the jetseat many times for me. So just to be clear. Will I need to download a patch or will it update itself automatically?

Oh OK thank God its just a bug and not something specific to myself. Very good news!

Guys it's not a VR problem, it crashes everytime I hit the ground in and outside of VR. Didnt seem to happen with the helicopter (slower) modules. I just tested it on 2.0 and for whatever reason no matter what version of the game I use now, whenever I crash and hit the ground the jetseat crashes! The older software for DCS and falcon doesent crash, but no longer works. All seemed to happen last night after downloading the viggen! The motors and things all still work fine when tested.

Fresh installation doesent work. It seems to get stuck in a rumble, crashes and then says 'ida handler has stopped working' or something.... It crashes with the mig 21 too. Seems to be any high dive into the ground from a high altitude will crash the seat (and disturb the VR experience). Not sure if this is only a 1.5.6 problem but it wasnt happening like this before I now basically cannot use the jetseat...

As you probably rememeber I had problems with jetseat occasionally stopping and starting up playing on HTC VIVE. Well I just updated to 1.5.6 and using the viggen I now find that crashing the aircraft will very often literally end up crashing the jetseat itself! Which causes VR to drop frames and take me momentarily out of the gaming enviroment. After that the jetseat is dead and needs rebooting. This doesent happen obviously if not using the jetseat. This is really bad news for me as obviously I cant continue to use the jetseat if it continues to crash the game. Is there any reason you guys can think the seat would be having such a bigh conflict with the VIVE or 1.56 the latest release build? Should point out on 1.5 the jetseat would occasionally stop working but it was never literally crashing and closing with an error message! Please help! Seems to be a real problem and I really hope you guys can look into it! Seems to happen during particularyly intensive moments (crash).

So after deleting registary and rentering serial number all is well for me? So was this problem already fixed and patched then? Or are some just more unlucky than others?

You have every right to complain!

I have the same problem updated to 1.5.6 obviously without any idea this would be a problem! This is a very bizzare thing to be locked out of a module that I long since paid for! Really wish I'd just stayed on 1.5! So what do I do now guys?

yeah thanks man I like to use the mission editor to get round that problem though, but not sure how the 2.05 version is currently working in VR at the moment and the same with the 1.6. Reason I use the older versions is that they tend to have better performance. Will have a try and if its no good, will just put the Viggen to one side for a rainy day!

Keep getting the same message (unknown module AJS37 when trying to download and install the viggen. One question, I am using version 1.5, and version 2.04 rather than the latest versions. If I want to install new modules do I need to have the latest version 2.5 and 1.6? If not anyone know what the problem is? Never had this problem before!

Yeah same seemed to work a little then nothing. If you use the older software however it seems the AB is fine and the engine itself isnt working!

Yeah I do want them both lol just have to prioritize for the time being! I also really want the Huey, and havent even tried to learn the Mi8 yet! Sounds like our specs are the same. I like the idea of the viggen being a low flying attack aircraft cause the mig 21 gives an incredible feeling when flying low so I imagine the viggen will be even better/faster. One thing I like in DCS/VR is going in manually at the sharp end as oppose to using computer systems to hit the enemy from great distances. Thats fun too of course to an extent, but in VR theres nothing quite like taking the war to the enemy! One reason I want to learn the Huey! Should maybe just get the Huey....Been flying the mig21 alot recently though and the speed is exhiliarating in VR. The Viggen is officially released now and out of EA then?

Viggen is on slae and it sounds like the better module but I have heard it performs less well in VR while I hear the M-2000C performs perhaps better than any other module in VR! Not sure how accurate that is though. What do you guys think?

Guys got a strange problem with Mig21. On aviators the afterburner doesent work (full throttle no rumble) but the engine does, and on the older software the engine dosent work but the afterburner does! Anyone know what the problem is?

One thing to be aware of as well, DCS frame rate counter in VR dosent seem to be working for me, in that I am missing no frames according to steam VR and yet often seem to be below the target 45 inside DCS. But it runs fine for the most part. Make sure you are judging it by performace and not just how many fps you can see DCS itself is reporting. How does it actually perform?
