Anyone know the changes to get the personalized helmets working again with today's update?

Yes, great view. Should be easily selected through the "F" keys

Yes, I just tested an air escort mission in PG. I was building for our scheduled flight this Saturday and every late start enemy aircraft launches as soon as the mission starts. Some were set with triggers; such as unit enters a trigger zone active this group, while others were set based on mission time. Also, the B52H and B1-B bombers were set to start in the air at 28,000, yet they started at around 2,500, and 4 of the B52's flew into the ground. The remaining aircraft headed toward their waypoint but stayed at 2,500. Very frustrating after spending a few hours build a mission that is unusable. cheers, BD

We finally figured it out and got it working. This is what we used in the lau. We removed all the old BORT text to fix our skin issue, and added new stuff in the "green". Helmet stuff is bolded. livery = { {"f18c1", 0 ,"F18C_1_DIFF115_SBDGRY_BD",false}; {"f18c1", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"../VMFA-115 Common/F18C_1_DIFF_115L_CAMOROUGHMET",false}; {"f18c2", 0 ,"F18C_2_DIFF115_SBDGRY_BD",false}; {"f18c2", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"../VMFA-115 Common/F18C_2_DIFF_115L_CAMOROUGHMET",false}; --Stay / Covers {"f18c_stay", 0, "../VMFA-115 Common/F18C_1_DIFF_STAY_DIF", false}; {"f18c_stay", 1, "f18c_1_diff_stay_nm", true}; {"f18c_stay", 2, "f18c_1_diff_stay_dif_roughmet", true}; -- new code start {"f18c1_number_nose_right", 0 ,"F18C_1_DIFF_323L",false}; {"f18c1_number_nose_right", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_1_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"f18c1_number_nose_right", DECAL ,"empty",true}; {"f18c1_number_nose_left", 0 ,"F18C_1_DIFF_323L",false}; {"f18c1_number_nose_left", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_1_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"f18c1_number_nose_left", DECAL ,"empty",true}; {"f18c2_kil_right", 0 ,"F18C_2_DIFF_323L",false}; {"f18c2_kil_right", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_2_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"f18c2_kil_right", DECAL ,"empty",true}; {"f18c2_kil_left", 0 ,"F18C_2_DIFF_323L",false}; {"f18c2_kil_left", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_2_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"f18c2_kil_left", DECAL ,"empty",true}; {"f18c1_number_F", 0 ,"F18C_1_DIFF_323L",false}; {"f18c1_number_F", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_1_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"f18c1_number_F", DECAL ,"empty",true}; {"f18c2_number_X", 0 ,"F18C_2_DIFF_323L",false}; {"f18c2_number_X", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_2_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"f18c2_number_X", DECAL ,"empty",true}; {"pilot_F18_helmet_HGU68", DIFFUSE , "pilot_f18_helmet", false}; {"pilot_F18_helmet_HGU68", NORMAL_MAP , "pilot_f18_helmet_normal", false}; {"pilot_F18_helmet_HGU68", 13 , "pilot_F18_helmet_roughmet", false}; -- new code end {"FPU_8A", 0 ,"../VMFA-115 Common/FPU_8A_115",false}; {"FPU_8A", 1 ,"../VMFA-115 Common/FPU_8A_115_NM",false}; {"FPU_8A", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"../VMFA-115 Common/FPU_8A_115_CAMO_RM",false}; {"pilot_F18", 0 ,"../VMFA-115 Common/pilot_F18_CDN",false}; {"pilot_F18_patch", 0 ,"../VMFA-115 Common/pilot_F18_patch_CANADA",false}; {"pilot_F18_patch", 1 ,"../VMFA-115 Common/pilot_f18_patch_CANADA_nm",false}; {"pilot_F18_patch", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"../VMFA-115 Common/pilot_f18_patch_CANADA_RM",false}; } name = "VMFA-115 Bonedust" countries = {"USA",} custom_args = { [27] = 0.0, -- Tail change of type of board number (0.0 -default USA, 0.1- ) [1000] = 0.0, -- Flaps [1001] = 0.0, -- Nose [1002] = 1, -- Kuwait Squadron [1003] = 1, -- Australian Squadron [1004] = 1, -- Finland Squadron [1005] = 1, -- Switzerland Squadron [1006] = 1, -- Blue Angels Jet Team }

Bump this. Same issue.

What theatre are you using. Try running it in another theatre because we've had some triggers work in one theatre but not another. We add an issue last night with a trigger set to launch MiG-29 jets not working. The jets launched at mission start in Caucasus, yet the same trigger worked in PG. Sometimes triggers will work online but not off line or vice versa.

Thanks for the reply. I assumed it was something like that so started to map them; great fun

Has the load profiles ever worked? I bought a new system and saved my profiles, yet none of them load into DCS, so what is the point of the save and load options? Is there some magical trick to it?

DCS in-game radio. Add MIDS, and add the option to have separate radios heard on either left or right ear ie: F18 Comm 1 left ear, Comm 2 right ear. cheers

I agree. I'd rather have a completed template, then one that isn't ready for release. A time line would be nice though.

Would be great to have the template.

Thanks for the replies...appreciate it.

Same results here.

I may be missing something, but does MIDS not work with voice chat?

Same issue here with G2 mic using MT exe, but not every time. I sent a crash report.

No, I don't mess with OC...cheers

I'm running an Alienware New Aurora R9 | Windows® 10 Home Premium | 64bit, Intel(R) Core(TM) 9th Gen Intel Core i9-9900K 8C/16T R0| NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070Ti 12GB | 2 X 1TB SSD | 64GB Dual Channel CORSAIR Vengence at 3200MHz | 850W EPA Gold Liquid Cooled power supply | G2 Rverb VR I do not see any improvement in VR running MT. Lost of folks are saying they're getting huge improvements, but for many of us, there's no improvement. In fact, non-MT seems smoother. The frame rates are comparable between both modes, drifting between 34-49fps depending on where I am, but I notice some texture tearing in the water from a distance in both MT and non-MT. I can't list all of my DCS settings, but I have terrain set to low, water high, AS 16X, heat blur low, motion blur off, PD set to 1, clouds set to "standard", shadows low and flat. I'm sure it could be a setting somewhere, but there's some many variables it is impossible to sort it all out. Hopefully, the next iteration will see improvements for those of us seeing none.

The LSO camera and data screens do not work in VR using multi-threading. I had overcast 3 with rain and fog selected for wx, Caucasus theatre, CVN 71. Can anyone else confirm the same issue? EDIT: Tried it in 2d as well, same issue. Turned fog off, same issue.

Thanks. That did the trick. I sent the file to Eset as well.

Got it sorted. Seems smoother and clearer.

Why is the OpenXR Tool kit appearing on the main menu saying press cntl F2. I don't use OpenXR. It is freezing the sim up.

It is useless when the sim doesn't load. I'm running G2 with a 2080Ti using steam.

Same here. G2 steam black screen...doesn't load to start screen.
