yep....that fixed it....thanks slyfly

yes did repair of all files and is enabled (works in Instant Action) Also able to select it in multiplayer

latest beta version with Caucasus map....,it works for "Create Fast Mission" and "Instant Action" but I can't add it to an existing mission or create a new mission and add it.

The module shows up in "Settings" and the controls can be mapped. It also shows up in "instant action" but it is not showing up in "Missions" or in the mission editor aircraft list. The country is USA and Task is CAS so it should be listed. Does anyone know what is wrong? Also noticed the A10A is not showing up. Only the A10C is listed.

reduce your fuel level...stay fast...turn slower to stay faster. use engine power to climb and cool the engine during descent. Staying fast keeps engine cool so you can use more power. Watch your engine heat constantly when dog fighting. Never use flaps. If you slow down enough for flaps you are too slow and flaps make it worse. If your wing tips you are turning too fast for you speed and making things worse. Learn the Spil-S to escape from an enemy on your tail. Then stay fast and turn slow to get some distance before you re-engage them. The P-51 is the hardest WWII plane to win a dogfight in. Once it gets slow it takes too long to speed back up compared to the other lighter aircraft. Only hope is to stay fast and get behind someone when you have speed and a cool engine and can accelerate more than them.

You can just copy the user/Saved Games/DCS/Config/Input folder and paste it to user/Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Config/. That will do all the aircraft at once.

If it is in red then the fix I mentioned above will most likely fix it. I have seen that several times before..

The file that is unique to the f18 is the joystick file at user/Saved Games/DCS/Config/Input/FA-18C_hornet/joystick It is probably corrupted in both DCS and openbeta. You can delete (or move it) it and a new one will be generated when you edit the bindings or if you have an older copy that works you could use that so you don't have to rebind everything. Load it with "load profile" in the control setup screen. I have fixed this kind of problem this way a few times so it's worth a try... I have seen a case where Load Profile did not fix the problem however deleting the file did. I don't think "Load profile" really refreshes everything

I got a warbrd base and after that I stopped using my extension because the warbrd was so much smoother I did not need it anymore. I fly mostly helo's

I can confirm that my TPR pedals do not do that. I get a smooth transition all the way from the bottom up like it should work. I have the same driver and firmware versions as you. I run win 10.

I got an answer at Batumi using radio 2 set at 131.000 Mhz. I did a hot startup and the radio was on by default.

You may need to set the radio/intercom selector rotary knob on the center console to the correct radio. I know that after startup it needs to be on intercom in order to get the ground crew to rearm etc...never tried ATC in a huey though....

I just got my WarBRD base and set it up with my WH grip. I had to drill out the base plate holes for 6m screws to mount it to my 80/20 profiles. The feel of the stick is excellent right out of the box for me. I removed the 5.5" extension that I used on my TM base because the WarBRD is much smoother and has a built in long throw so I don't really need an extension anymore. Never felt easier to fly a huey. The only issue I am having is the grip comes loose easily while flying and starts to twist. I had the same problem with the extension on the TM. I need a way to lock the nut that attaches the grip to the base. I might try some pipe thread tape. The base seems to be well built and high quality. The software worked well and was easy to use. I think I'll get one of those MongooseT grips since my experience with Virpil so far is excellent. It would be nice to have the axis brake lever and the longer stick for the spitfire.

If you create a waypoint for a ground unit it will move to the waypoint. If you get two enemies within range of each other they will attack by default. Sometimes the "create mission" function will create waypoints for ground units but they may not be close enough to enemies to begin attacking. JTAC is more complicated but the manual describes it pretty well.

Copy your Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input folder and move it to the new computer in the same location. DCS will use these files if it finds them at startup. Otherwise it reverts to the default files.

Mt TPR works great and I never calibrated it. In the windows driver it was well centered and had full deflection on all three axis right out of the box. Just had to do a firmware update via the windows driver. I don't see any way to calibrate the pedals in the windows driver. I have never opened any TM calibration tool. I don't use any curves etc. in DCS. Just an extension on the warthog joystick. The TPR pedals seem to have a nice built in curve in their action. My experiences with the TM tools has been that they are not worth the trouble to use. My guess is the TM tool has added some gain in your signal and you need to undo it and go back to the out of box state. I would think that just exiting the TM tools would do the trick but be sure it is not running in the background after you close the window. I don't have any experience with the tool your are talking about but they usually need to be running in order to affect the controller. good luck slyfly

I only map comms and combat related stuff. Master Arm Rocket/Gun Select Number of Rockets to Launch Setting Gun Sight power Gun Sight Co-pilot cycle thru Hold(Pilot Fires Weapons)/Return Fire/Free Fire Left and Right Door Gunners cycle thru Hold/Return Fire/Free Fire Release Flares Most other stuff i just click on in the cockpit while in route. VR makes it so much easier to click on things in the cockpit I don't really need much mapping. slyfly

Is it possible to stop automatically mapping every controller that shows up in Windows. I can understand the case with the Warthog mappings but every other case I have encountered has been a significant problem for me. My racing wheel and pedals get mapped to flight controls like the pitch\roll and rudders etc. Why? It doesn't hurt anything for them to show up in DCS World as long as they are not mapped to anything but DCS World always maps them to critical controls that cause me to not be able to fly until I un-map them or unplug them from the USB. This is a major hassle that should not happen and I can not understand why these mapping even occur in the first place. If it is meant to be helpful it is not. If I am missing something maybe someone can explain to me. Why have the software do extra stuff that is not helpful and has to be undone by the user? slyfly

Here is where the files are. The P51 is shown but the Spit will have a separate directory....Backup these files or the entire Saved Games\DCS folder. C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\P-51D\joystick slyfly

I would back up saved games and re-install DCS from scratch on the SSD. When you change hard drives all of the copy protection etc. is no longer valid so you need to re-install to get it all to recognize the new drive. slyfly

When you start out it is best to avoid rolls and loops if you are getting sick. Just try to keep the plane level for a while and get use to it slowly. You can get severely sick if you over due it at first. I did. If you slowly introduce more and more radical moves over time you probably won't get sick at all. After a week or so you should be doing loops and rolls and anything else with no motion sickness at all. It is only a temporary thing your body will adjust to much like in real life flying. The A10 is a good place to start. slyfly

You may also need to select a supplier for the farp in the mission editor. Use an airbase that has the same coalition as the farp. slyfly

You have to put a fuel truck or fuel depot near the farp for fuel. You have to put an ammo carrying vehicle (I usually use the unarmed Humvee) near the farp for arms reloading.Not sure about questions 1 & 3 slyfly

Try doing the Time more after loading mist but before loading CTLD. It needs to have Mist loaded before it will know what to do with CTLD. slyfly

If you do a short landing at 60 to 80 knots touch down speed you can have a heavy load and stop ok on the landing runway without a hook. As you come in on final with nozzles in hover position put your velocity vector indicator on the deck wires and keep it there using the throttle. Use nose up to slow down and nose down to speed up . If you are heavy don't let your speed drop below ~80 knots (depending on weight) until you are over the deck. I can normally get to 60 knots before touch down by pulling the nose up and easing her down once over the deck where it finally falls out of the air. I do this kind of landing at airfields also because it seems easier on the "bicycle with training wheels" type landing gear on the Harrier...as opposed to rolling on the runway at 150 knots while heavy. slyfly
