Eclipse

Found this while looking for something else, so in case it helps someone... It's covered in the manual - hit the reset button on the radar DDI page and you will exit AACQ. There are a few other ways, also.

What he said ^^ Credit to the video creator. Hopefully the hornet's manual is updated soon to reflect this change and any others out there causing issues and confusion. Early access though, I'm sure it will be updated before too long.

Hi, all. The problem is still happening, it just happened to me in multiplayer. My framerate was nice and smooth, I opened the F10 map, and from there it was stuttering badly for the rest of the time I was on the server. I use no VR mods or shader mods, just WMR, SteamVR, and DCS open beta. And SRS Radio.

Thank you! Changing the coordinates mode as you described was the fix; there is no issue with coordinates passed from the targeting pod - as everyone else knew already . Thanks to you, also.

I have been testing the past few nights, and it appears that the coordinates shown on the TGP DDI page do not match the coordinates that are passed to the JDAM TOO mission page. They are close, but they don't fully match. I use the TGP to pass T001 and T002 targets to each station, and each station gets coordinates each time I designate and step through the stations, switch to T002 and step through again, as they should (8 targets, total), but I noticed the coordinates do not match what is shown on the TGP DDI display as being the location of the designation. I tested with both the Litening and ATFLIR pods, and the behavior is the same. I don't know if this has been reported by anyone yet, but it appears to be a bug. I can post a bug report unless any of you guys know it's already been reported or if there is some reason the coordinates wouldn't match that I don't know about.

I've noticed that over the last few weeks or so, I haven't had the issue happen even one time. I can switch the controls back and forth as much as needed and they never gray out and crash. If anyone does experience the issue, if you log out of Windows and log back in, the controllers will reinitialize and you'll be good to go. I've seen elsewhere that the fix Jellybean posted does the trick. I opted to log out and back in rather than disabling processes. Hopefully Microsoft fixed the issue (probably by accident) and this issue is finally gone! Thanks again to all who tried and who did find workarounds!

I just fired DCS up for the first time in VR with my Rift S and had this exact issue. Apparently it hasn't been fixed yet. The right controller goes haywire and wreaks havoc, and the left one seems to lose function and require me to move it over some other control to get the control name to show, then back to what I wanted to control. It seems the VR controls need more work yet. I guess for now I'll go back to mouse control,unless someone out there knows of a fix. I have time yet, I have plenty to relearn!

Glad it worked for you!

It was a problem at one point because Microsoft broke something USB related. They have since fixed it. I had problems with it also. For a good couple years, all my devices and the CH Control Manager software worked flawlessly. One day it was suddenly a total roll of the dice. I had intermittent dropouts, and switching from normal mode to mapped mode or loading a different profile in the software would sometimes work but more often than not the devices would all become unresponsive until a PC restart. Microsoft has since fixed the problem (6+ months ago or so I think), and my CH Fighterstick, pedals, and throttle and the software have all been good as new ever since. None of it had anything to do with the quality of CH products. It was 100% on Microsoft.

Good to hear! TrackIR is a game changer! The throttle has been great, also. Between that and the Fighterstick, you won't run out of buttons, especially if you use the CH Control Manager software and it's ability to set up 3 separate modes and shift + buttons - you could have 1 button with up to 6 separate functions if you needed to! I highly recommend using a command file with the CH Control Manager software, also. It makes it very easy and visual to map and remap commands, changing things on the fly over and over until you get it the way you like it. There is a Control Manager for Dummies guide out there that explains it all. The CH Hangar forum is a great resource, also.

+1 for jittery axis and unresponsive axis problems. I knew it was a loose connection, because when it would act up I would tap it on the desk and it would be OK for a while. I opened it, pulled each connector off, carefully squeezed the crimp a little tighter, and pushed it back on, one by one. It has been rock solid since then.

I'm OK with that, actually. So much good stuff out there!

That is very possible, so I'm kinda glad I don't have the opportunity to try one! There are quite a few things on my upgrade list... Starting with making sure I have "play money" reserved for when my 6 or 7 year old motherboard, CPU, power supply, and/or ram need replacing. And one day VR will be both higher resolution and FOV and will be somewhat affordable, as well as a graphics card to run it. And I really would like nice rudder pedals. And replacing my desk with an Obutto would be awesome. And.... And... Where does it end??? ????

I don't know what the resolution is, but I have zero problems with any small adjustment, and all is smooth.

Thanks for the update! It would definitely be cool if it happened.

It doesn't appear to be a Windows issue - TrackIR is still responding in Windows just fine. The game just drops it. And this doesn't happen in IL-2. I have had zero luck regardless of how power management is set, or selective suspend. Luckily, unplugging it and then plugging it back in does get it reconnected. But it is annoying!

The lack of landscape support or ability to rotate controls in the grid is what irks me. I really wanted to use my surface tablet for it. I installed an emulator and the power grid for android apk, only to find I can't use the tablet anyway! The stand only works in landscape mode, and it's all so much smaller on my phone. Good thing I have plenty of buttons on my Hotas! I suppose I could just rotate the icons I made myself and just not use text, or just deal with the text being sideways... Anyone know of any alternatives? I have read the LEA Extended Input is not at all user friendly. I'd rather not use anything if it's going to take a ton of time and effort to get it working. That's time I could be spending learning a module and flying!

I also have TrackIR disconnecting any time I pause DCS for more than a minute or so. I have turned off power saving on each individual USB device, and also disabled USB Selective Suspend - it still happens. Hoping for a fix some day!

Not a one off issue - any time I pause DCS for a minute or two it disconnects TrackIR, forcing me to quit and restart DCS.

I would buy one!

Maybe you're right, although I wouldn't think the flight model would change how the brake system operates. Does the A-10A have a brake axis? It also has an Advanced Flight Model.

Some great information here, thanks all! I'm just starting to learn the SU-25T, and eagerly awaiting MAC. And then who knows what else :pilotfly:

I wrote a little script in CH Control Manager to wait until the pedals are pressed more than x percent, then it activates the logical button that I set to "w". Then it waits for the pedals to be released, switches the logical button off, and then loops back to waiting for the pedals to be pressed again. OK fine... I may have reverse engineered someone else's script for something different and modded it to be what I need, but at any rate it works :lol: Of course there is no linear control, and I still have a button mapped to W which I still end up using most times anyway. It does make me wonder, though, how the braking system in the actual SU-25T works, since brakes are modeled with an axis in other modules. It could be that the brakes were simply an on or off control in the real thing, right? Russian WWII planes had a lever handle that activated the wheel brakes, and pressing a rudder pedal forward with the brakes activated would release the hydraulic pressure on the opposite wheel brake so the aircraft could turn in the direction of the pressed pedal. So, it's possible...

Friction adjustment would be nice, but so would FFB... of course then my current mounting solution would be no good at all!:joystick:

CH Control Manager now works properly in Windows 10 again for me. Microsoft fixed whatever USB issue they broke with a previous update. Maybe give it another try. I haven't had the program fail/gray out the mode buttons and stop responding for weeks now.
