This really shows why units of measurement are important... In real life I would just radio back to the JTAC and ask him to convert the coordinates. Or at least specify the format. Not possible with a computer, sadly... ;)

I never found it, completed the mission anyway! But thanks, now I know where it is!

Yeah, a very well done mission! Had so much fun! Only thing I never managed was to locate the 7-story building. Had to look it up here in the forum. But I'm flying VR, so my vision is a little blurred.

The estimated recovery position in the briefing text is way inland, in the middle of the desert. I think maybe 22N should be 25N?

Hey Adam... just want to point out it's V_AI_COM, not V_IA_COM. Viacom is a telecom company, Vaicom is the DCS addon. It's an easy oversight.

Forget that. There is no shortcut to hovering, just practice, practice, practice. Don't give up! It's incredibly satisfying and rewarding once you get the hang of it!

It's just a visual illusion. Since the carrier deck is closer to you, it's seemingly moving towards the stern when you are taxiing towards the bow, and the movement of the waves passing toward the stern is cancelled out with respect to the deck. This gives the illusion that the carrier stops, while it certainly doesn't.

I would be happy just to have the aircraft move backwards on a given command, never mind pushback trucks and animations...

Thanks @Hollywood_315, I really hope you can find a fix! I really miss this functionality!

Good to hear I'm not the only one with the issue, sad to hear VAICOM support doesn't acknowledge the problem. I e-mailed them as well, we'll see what happens.

The commands for selecting menu items, i.e. pressing F-buttons is not working anymore. I used to be able to say "take one", "take five" to select from the radio menu, but it's not working. Voice Attack is recognising my commands, and commands are sent to VAICOM, there is a line in the VA log window saying "menu item 1 select" or something like that, but nothing is happening witin DCS. I can still select from the menu by physically pressing the F-keys. I deleted the export.lua files under \saved games as per the FAQ instructions, no joy. This used to work, and I can't figure out how to fix it. Someone please help? Is it a bug in latest VAICOM?

I recommend Bankler's recovery trainer, free mission! Great for practicing perfect approaces! https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=221412&highlight=Bankler%27s+recovery+trainer

Roger that! Thanks for the clarification!

That's unfortunate! It's very jarring... Well, here's to hoping it will get some attention soon.

Some things are rendered in one eye only. For instance: -IFLOLS on supercarrier at wide angles -Supercarrier arrestor wires when outstretched -some clouds in distance at certain head angles Anyone noticed anything else?

Bump - an acknowledgement that this has been noticed at least woul be nice.

I've had trouble closing the Huey door in VR as well, but I'm only using mouse in VR, never controllers. As in your case, I can never reproduce, it occurs randomly.

Map to HOTAS or use VAICOM. (And PLEASE, for the love of Dog, dont call it VIACOM!!!)

In the editor you input wind course, as opposed to wind direction. Wind course is the direction the air mass is moving towards. Wind direction is the direction it's coming from. It's a thing. It's just not as common to use wind course as wind direction.

Am I the only one getting this?

Agree 100%!

Well, I got me one of those perfect passes now as well! The LSO only gave me an (OK) rating though... :D

It should work with the Vaicom addon theoretically, but I haven't tried it.

Yeah, of course the fuel pumps would be damaged, but you should still be able to get fuel into the tanks. In any case, a repair doesn't work. You still don't get any fuel after a completed repair.

Agree we need a pushback truck.
