Just fired it up after a bit of fiddling with Steam stuff... Tip: Set your VR settings to basic DCS VR before you start - I left mine all maxed and DCS just got twisted... Knocked it down and it was all good then worked it up some to PD 1.0 (used to be 2), shadows flat, MSAA x2 and everything else pretty much maxed. It will take a while to fine tune it but getting around 60 frames at that... no ASW of course... 2080Ti FE OC about 15% and i76700 chugging around 4.5... 32Gb memory... Initial impressions are exactly as the decent reviews state... sweet spot is average but what a sweet spot! Exceedingly light.... frames are good,with settings above - DCS displayed frames averaging around 60 and smooth.... screw it up further and she stutters a bit just like the rift.. Pleased, a good job!

Well, just updated the main server and client... and a quick test... I'm sure it has been optimised... VR side stutters are gone, as smooth as silk for me anyway, Caucasus Map.... so whatever - a great improvement! Thanks ED :)

Great stuff ED! Great to see this model being upgraded after all this time. No issues with the 'paid for upgrade' none at all... Love the Kamov, for the extensive hours spent in this model compared to what I paid for it, I reckon I owe you a fortune, but shsssssh don't tell anyone...! Very happy..... :)

The HP reverb is in stock for purchase HP UK with a 7-14 delivery UK. (6th > 13th June)

Mist is not loaded?... but probably you have not set the unit names correctly for each airframe as defined in the CTLD lua. These can be as is or customised... I noticed in some of your missions your planes are as groups of 4 craft.... for CTLD helos have to be individual groups and and not part of a set... Discord me if you cannot get it working.... it is relative simple to sort.. Hope this helps...

Indeed it is... @Tricky I sent you and the others the MOD pic and instructions the other week... it is probably still on discord unless deleted. A multiple working FARP on the road system... just reverse the airframe so that the tail just overhangs the shallow slope and thats it... I use a wall to make it visually easier.... note - enforce civilian traffic off LOL...

@ HOLLYWOOD 315 VAICOM PRO only installed.... 2.5.9.8 will NOT allow menu interaction between VA and DCS. Other commands, non VAICOM PRO i.e. keyboard presses work just fine.... In DCS mouse menu interaction is completely broken.. Function key work however.. DCS REPAIR & CLEAN no resolution. Reverted to 2.5.4.8 and all is good again... maybe a ARIO command thing.. For info.

@ Basic VAICOM PRO only, the rest left until things are stable.. Last update killed VAICOM pushing any commands to DCS... they are recognised fine in VA but no action DCS... Was working just perfect before the last update today.. Deletion and re-install in the APPs folder made no difference.. For info... :)

Yup, the VAICOM update killed it, dead, stone dead, unresponsive.... and no, No RIO is setup... Looks like a rocky road ahead between ED, Heatblur & VAICOM constantly tinkering... Once I get it working best to disable auto update...

Vaicom not processing ATC calls correctly. As I understand it, Traffic > Kobuleti > inbound should get a response from Kobuleti Tower but only the nearest tower responds regardless... VA recognition is not the problem, see the below image... Easy comms or not, correct freq dialled in, any one an idea please?

Can you post the miz file?

with --server --norender SLMOD on my system caused a code exception and hung. No SLMod and all is good... There are varients of the MOD and user config too so results may not be standard.

Great.... maybe post in the other thread to close your problem... others may be looking too... just a thought...

Presuming your PORTS are opened for DCS server on your router - if not do a search and some reading. If you are old school open a COMMAND prompt window in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\ and type DCS --server --norender..... that is it! If you are not old school... create a shortcut to the DCS.exe and place on your desktop. Open the properties and add the server and norender to the target line... "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe" --server --norenderIf that does not work for you, make a cup of coffee and re read USSR_RIKs initial posts... Hope this helps..

Running LotATC? Maybe worth trying with it uninstalled - just a thought...

Just a note, I had to disable "Slmod" (a multiplayer server MOD for admin) - this caused a code exception and subsequent hang.

This thread seems full of demanding and impatient comments, why, I've no idea but it certainly is a shame. I have no issues with the server, it is running sweet, but as is normal a full clean and repair function was performed on installs before test. Also note being a helo battalion, furniture MOD list is very extensive running 5.5Gb zipped. None so far causes issues. It may be beneficial for those experiencing crashes to ensure the install is perfect, uncorrupted and initially run without any MODS - saved games, program files or otherwise. Mention this and send your DCS log files and system specs in as a problem.

Spent some time with the new DCS server. Certainly dramatically reduces server load and works well. My install of SLMOD was incompatible. WebGUI was good, easy and quick both local host or remotely initiated. Access to a remote server site will still be required to upload missions so at least TeamViewer or similar will be required. If TV or other desktop sharing solution is used then of course the local host web gui is available. I think overall its great! Thanks ED - NOW WHERE ARE THE PROMISED NEW HELOs - ha ha ha :):):)

There are 2 overlays... (1) the overlay toggled via the hotkeys defined within the SR Control Panel - This can be dragged and re-sized etc... the original overlay.... this should (it does with me) work just fine with your TMWH red button and MODIFIER. If not the problem is probably local. (2) a non scalable overlay primarily but not exclusively used in VR. It has several 'states'. By default this overlay and 'state' is toggled on and off via LCTRL+LSHT+ESC. It will only appear if DCS is running. This toggle combination is defined in C:\Users\Gizzy\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\SRSConfig.lua currently line 5. ["hotkey"] = "Ctrl+Shift+escape"You may change this combination but as I understand it inly keyboard characters may be used. You could get round this with a mapper if you really wanted.... Hope this helps...

Personally I would not hold, or use software to hold, a keyboard character down for any significant time period. It can play havoc with some keyboard buffers and disallows that key to be used with any modifier. The PC SA342 bindings have been made for latching toggle switches that normally are engaged via DX codes which is perfect. TARGET software will allow you to enagage DX codes to latching or momentary switches in any manner you wish... however realising you do not want to use TARGET (and I get that - its a bit buggy with me anyway) there is another way. Edit your C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\SA342\Input\keyboard\default.lua and add these lines... {down = device_commands.Button_9, cockpit_device_id = devices.AUTOPILOT, value_down = 1, value_up = 0.0,name = _('Autopilot Altitude Mode'), category = _('MODDED')}, {down = device_commands.Button_19, cockpit_device_id = devices.AUTOPILOT, value_down = -1, value_up = 0.0,name = _('Autopilot Speed Mode'), category = _('MODDED')}, {down = device_commands.Button_19, up = device_commands.Button_20, cockpit_device_id = devices.AUTOPILOT, value_down = 1, value_up = 1,name = _('Autopilot Sp/Alt Cancel'), category = _('MODDED')},and you will have a couple of extra bindings for your keyboard under the category 'MODDED'. Assign spare keys to these, say, LSHIFT + A - LSHIFT + B - LSHIFT + C and you're done. 'Momentarily' engaging these bindings will move the switch to the relevent positions AND they will stay there... :) Best to have this edit as a MOD as each DCS update deletes the changes. If you wish I could easily make up a OvGME or JSGME small MOD if you are unsure. Hope this helps...

Negative sign it may be. As Chit Chat is clearly labelled "What relates but does not fit in" Maybe indeed the Mi-24 & Cobra not so long ago news flashed by ED are now removed or sidelined. Perhaps ED may clarify this issue?

Maybe something is 'double bagged' or conflicting your end Bad ... works perfect our with us... graphics are good in 4K, HD or VR and sits happy on buildings... of course with the DCS FARP functionality removed. This was 4k output. Shout if you want the adapted MOD fired across.. https://youtu.be/ideL9TfRECY

Yes, if you set up at a WP other than spawn, the troops do not board... often one sticks his head through your rear floor ha ha. Set up that ADV ACTION at spawn to name the UNITS to be picked up... you can have as many as you like. Second question yes, make sure you set the AC type in ADV ACTION and the pick up radius from the arrow head... and all should be good - famous last words eh! ? Any probs adapt my example in the thread link... or PM me :)

Check your settings... it works fine. Compare Suntag's example miz in this thread or my one in this thread https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=231952
