I've been away from DCS for about a year. I downloaded the current community version of Vaicom Pro from github and updated everything. I noticed that on the Editor tab, the Keyword command phrase list only has about 30 commands. But in VA I have hundreds. Shouldn't I have many more commands in that Editor list to copy over to VA keywords??

What you are referring to is actual movement of the entire body. Just having your head turned I truly doubt would have that effect. That's what we see on TV every day..

I was going to make a VR Track to demo the Cockpit in VR for a friend to see. But after I saved the Track, I found out that it does not replay where your view was looking. So when I leaned forward to look at an MFD or display or switch to toggle, it was not saved/replayed. So it was not going to be of any use... When he watches the Track in VR, his view is just looking where his head was looking. It would be nice if Tracks would save and replay the actual head movement from the Track, and ignore the users head movement during tracks. Or, is there any way to do this now? Is there some setting that I can change that will play the Track's Head Movement?? Thanks!

I noticed these Red Dots (with a ! in the middle) a while back, but I noticed a lot more of them today. I have lot's of them on things like Views etc... What are these supposed to indicate?? Can't find anything about them in the manuals or searches.. See Pic..

I only have 2 waypoints. The starting point and another about 50 miles away. Yes, all of my waypoints have the speed set to 27kts. I set all of the ships to have the same same exact settings for waypoints, both 0 and 1. I was just thinking about that. I think I should try making them all one unit/group. I currently have 2 destroyers, 5 cruisers, and 2 carriers (each their own). But even if I do that, this should have worked as well..

Has anybody had problems with ships/carriers that start moving and then stop? I have 2 carriers (Forrestal & Abe Lincoln), and several escort ships. They all start to move when I start the mission, then after about 1/4 miles the Abe Lincoln stops. And the Forrestal also stops then starts again a few minutes later. And a Ticonderoga also stops about 1 mile after start.. Very strange and I see no pattern to it. They all have the same 2 waypoints with the same settings.

I have my settings 'almost' maxed out. I'm setting them all to max now to see what happens. Also, I'm running it in 5120x1440, so that too has a fps cost. Have you checked your DCS log?

I noticed the Red dot with a '1' in it, over the Modules button at the top left of the main screen. There is nothing new for me to install.. I didn't expect there to be as I had not purchased anything recently. The Red dot does not show if I run the normal OB DCS.

Fantastic!! They should have put that in the notes.. My increase flying over Las Vegas went from 68fps to 128!! Thankyou ED!!

I'm pretty sure I used to be able to set the Effects/Smoke 'Density' from 0 to 1. (ie. 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) But now it's not possible. If I am incorrect, please tell me how to use it. 0 and 1 both only seem to show black dense smoke.

Thanks for the link!! I finally logged in!!

Thanks, I think I am better off moving the majority to a backup..

I was looking at all of my missions, going back to 2013!! I'm sure those are not compatible with the current version of the game. I should delete many of those missions. How far back would you say they start to be incompatible with the current DCS? 2017? 2019? 2021? Or, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8? I need to clean things up..

Thanks again for the replies. I have a WinWing Taurus Throttle, a nice Collective with a twist throttle and buttons, and a VKB MC stick. I used to fly the Ka50, Huey, and Gazelle, but I've been away from them for a long time. Yea, that was surely RPM Low! I did the same thing in both the stock mission and my mission, but my mission just keeps going into RPM Low and things lighting up red.. I was looking at all of my missions, going back to 2013!! I'm sure those are not compatible with the current version of the game. I should delete many of those missions. How far back would you say they start to be incompatible with the current DCS? 2017? 2019? 2021? I need to clean things up..

Just FYI.. I had added the AH to a old Nellis mission. Not sure if that was a problem. But when I fly the built-in mission 'Takeoff from Runway' it all works fine..

Yea, the throttles. Sorry, I'm new the the Apache.. When the throttles were at full when I spawned in and pulled up on the collective, it started saying something like "RPM Roll" over and over, and the displays went red. So, I thought the throttles were supposed to be pulled back. I probably should read something about taking off? What is RPM Roll? Thanks. PS: In the Huey, I've always throttled back after landing to reduce lift while on the ground? It's not the same for the Apache?

Like the title says. And I have my physical WinWing FA18 Throttles all the back to the detent. Even if I quickly move them back after clicking Fly, things start shutting down. And it seems to me that when spawning in HOT on the ground, the game shouldn't even need to sync with my throttles.... Because the game's throttles would always be pulled back when spawning in on the ground Hot!?

I bought a new ultra-wide monitor(32:9 / 5120x1440) and I was wondering if there was any way to change the default F2 External View angle to not be so steep and zoomed in? Every Aircraft has this F2 View angle and zoom. I always zoom out a bit and change the angle to see at least some of the horizon. It's just annoying. Is there a Script somewhere that defines this F2 view for all aircraft? Or could one be called from the Export.lua at mission start to do this?

Changing CameraTerrainRestriction = false (from true) In ...\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\config\view\server.lua does not work. I use my Saved Games server.lua a lot, and don't like changing the game's original files if possible. But if I make this change in the stock game's server.lua it works. It just doesn't work in the users Saved Games folder..

This looks new.. A search found nothing on this.. What is the 'Object Local Camera' category in the Options/Controls?? It only has one command. it's called 'Mouse button 2 click'. That's it..

Great!! It seems to work perfectly!! Thank you!!!

Giving this another try today. The only problem that I am having is that at some point the window appears 'off-screen'. I have a 5120x1440 over a 1920x1080 monitor setup in a T shape. I think it is getting confused and using coordinates that are off to the left and right of the bottom screen. Right now it is off to the left. And when I click on the MM's taskbar button, it slide in from that bottom left towards the center of the top screen, but does not appear at all. Here is the Users config.xml. You can see that is far left at 0, but below my top monitor's vertical resolution of 1440. <?xml version="1.0"?> <Open_Mod_Manager_Main> <icon_size pixels="16" /> <legacy_support enable="1" /> <warn_overlaps enable="0" /> <warn_extra_inst enable="1" /> <warn_miss_dpnd enable="1" /> <warn_extra_unin enable="1" /> <quiet_batches enable="1" /> <window left="0" top="1597" right="774" bottom="1937" foot="170" /> <recent_list> <path>K:\Documents\+ My Game MODS\Farthest Frontier\Farthest Frontier.omc</path> <path>K:\Documents\+ My Game MODS\DCS OpenBeta.omc</path> </recent_list> <start_list enable="1"> <file>K:\Documents\+ My Game MODS\DCS OpenBeta.omc</file> </start_list> </Open_Mod_Manager_Main> Here is what it saved after I close it via the taskbar button when it was 'invisible'. <window left="0" top="0" right="505" bottom="340" foot="170" /> I opened it again, and moved it to about left="3700" top="300" on the top monitor. And this is what it saved after I closed it <window left="0" top="300" right="505" bottom="912" foot="170" /> BTW, what is that 'foot' attribute? Thanks!

Yes, I changed it to Ctrl+CapsLock, and that works fine, but it doesn't work in DCS. Strange how my Scroll Lock works in DCS. But this doesn't..

Thanks for the reply. But yes, I looked for any key command combination in DCS; General; UI Layer; and the aircraft's commands. I also selected the Keyboard column and pressed Ctrl+PrintScreen/SysRQ, which should jump me straight to the DCS command using that combo.. There is nothing assigned to that combo. And I do not have the FullScreen option selected in the Options. And I just did the Make HTML as you suggested, and that key combo is not used in any of the categories I listed above.

I've been having problems since the last update or around that time with taking Screenshots with an app that I use called ShareX. I noticed about a week or so ago that it had stopped taking Screenshots with Ctrl+PrintScreen (on my Logitech keyboard) in DCS. ShareX worked fine in other games, but no more in DCS. DCS DOES take a screenshot since it recognizes the PrintScreen key (SysRQ). But it should first look at the key 'combination'. If it sees a Key Combination pressed, and it doesn't match any game commands, it should pass it through to the OS, right? That's what it does with my TrackIR Center command. I have that assigned to Scroll Lock, and that key is not used in the game, so it passes it through/doesn't capture it and stop. I can reproduce this issue anytime I press Ctrl+PrintScreen. I first noticed this in the Hornet and was about to post this in that forum.. But upon testing other aircraft (MC2000; F14; A10c II), I realized it was not specific to an aircraft. A track/video wouldn't show anything except a momentary pause as DCS took it's screenshot. This appears to be an issue only with the Screenshot key command. ** I noticed that in the Hornet, the SysRQ key assignment is MISSING from it's Screenshot command. And it's disabled so we cannot assign it. HOWEVER, it does take a screenshot. Makes me wonder if work was done on this command recently? Thanks, Snacko Logs & dxdiag.7z
