thank you both for confirming my fears.

On p139 of the manual where it discusses the use of radar to obtain position fixes for Bx6-9, there is a gray box with the following text: CAUTION: Fix on a point that is a not a target waypoint and that is not a RB 15 waypoint will result in an own position fix, which affects the entire navigation system What does this mean? It sounds like it is referring to a radar fix to eliminate drift error (Chuck's guide section 13.2) The usual procedure for radar fix: AKT/POS, OUT, B1 to 9, then radar to T1, slew cursor to location, TV fix This results in the entire navigation system being realigned and INS drift removed. However, my understanding is that if I use an RB15 waypoint (Bx6-9), the fix simply ADDS a navigation waypoint for the RB15. What is the net result of using M1 and then doing a radar fix? Does it MOVE the previous M1 location to the new location? How do I use radar to generate a NEW M1 if I dont have any in the flight plan?

I've been flying the Viggen in the universal training mission https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3321332/ Spawning in the jet reveals there are already three waypoints. One at takeoff (Batumi, one over water and the third at the target area (old runways south of kobuleti) I get in the jet, start up, load DTC,and check Ref LOLA and press LS. The correct airfield ID is displayed (9011). Pressing B1 and B2 shows the correct waypoint coords. Then I go to the F10 map and add a little circle with the label B3 over some ships. In the cockpit I bring up the kneeboard, go to the Groundcrew settings page and change the to 'Cartridge from marks on F10 map. I then eject and then reload the DTC and repeat the instruction (9099) to the computer. But now only B3 is in the computer. I want to include the preplanned waypoints from the mission but I cannot see them on the F10 map. How do I add these preplanned waypoints to this new flight plan? Do I have to get their coords BEFORE I add the little circle to the F10 map and then add them manually after I reload the DTC with the f10 map changes? Is there a faster way?

@scoobie @bones1014 do either of you have a suggestion as to how to get a readout of MODE (NAV,ANF,etc)? Peering around the throttle is an issue for me.

It must be a mod that is interfering because it runs fine on a 'pure' DCS. Attached is the mission. Interestingly, I cannot evewn edit the mission in a 'pure' DCS instance because it says the VSN F4 is needed. Universal_Training_Mission_(with_hot-start)_V1.05.miz

I thought maybe I touched a button so I repeated the flight and TOUCHED NOTHING. The EP13 just goes dark and nothing I do can bring it back. rb75-2.trk

I get one RB75 off and then the EP13 is dark. see attached track. rb75.trk

Paul's hardware also shows an advantage in MSFS at 4k for the 7950x3d but again only dx11.

@blkspadeat 4k even the min fps diffs are not so much -but they didn't test dcs

Could you elaborate on where the listen command would be placed? Somewhere in the default.lua of an aircraft input joystick file?

I looked at benches on tech powerup. At 4k the 7950 is only a hair better than the 13900k and less than 10% better than the 5800x3d. Who plays dcs at 1080p?

This github is JavaScript that allows voice communication with chatGPT https://github.com/C-Nedelcu/talk-to-chatgpt i would like to turn it into a lua file that i can activate with a button on my throttle

binding 'right wing down' to a button and using it in sim gives right wing up. likewise left aileron trim is backwards as well. In the attached track, watch the trim hat on the stick and observe the aircraft's roll. In this case, I have bound the 'Right wing down' to a left motion of the hat. In the cockpit, the hat moves left but the aircraft rolls right. f53trim.trk

Benchmarks looking at the 5800x3d showed massive gains in msfs and dcs over non x3d parts and were on par with a 13900k. Too bad very few reviewers look at flight sims

what size amps are people using?

i assume this is total L2 so the per core L2 is the same across all chips?

What would you expect a North Korean infiltrator to say? AI should be viewed with the same suspicion we apply to our worst enemies. Trust but verify.

which doc? the manual??

The F5E has a special options menu that allows different joystick behaviors. I have been using the Displaced Neutral (FFB) as it puts the neutral pointof the stick about 3/4 forward (meaning for for neutral flight and zero trim, the stick is forward). I would like to move this neutral point back towards center. I found lua file that uses this: C:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-5E\Options\optionsDb.lua local DbOption = require('Options.DbOption') local i18n = require('i18n') local oms = require('optionsModsScripts') local _ = i18n.ptranslate return { aiHelper = DbOption.new():setValue(false):checkbox(), SightCamera = DbOption.new():setValue(0):combo({DbOption.Item(_('OFF')):Value(0), DbOption.Item(_('ONLY FOR TRACKS')):Value(1), DbOption.Item(_('ON')):Value(2),}), JoystickMode = DbOption.new():setValue(0):combo({DbOption.Item(_('LINEAR')):Value(0), DbOption.Item(_('NONLINEAR')):Value(1), DbOption.Item(_('DISPLACED NEUTRAL (FFB)')):Value(2),}), CPLocalList = oms.getCPLocalList("Cockpit_F-5E"), } How can I modify this position? Displaced Neutral (FFB) seems to get assigned 'value(2)' but nowhere in the lua files for the F5E can I find where value(2) is assigned. Does anyone have any insight in how to change the neutral point of the joystick for the F5E?

What everyone doesnt understand is that Ed and razbam are intentionally taunting us. We should recognize this and start revealing how much money we spend on planes from IL2. before long ed will come up with the idea of micro transactions (put your name on the plane for extra money?)and limited editions. (Only 1000 copies of an F35 will b sold) They will then spawn a secondary market where people can buy and sell their own planes (with ed taking a healthy commission from each transaction) finally they will offer support groups in their forum to address addiction.

try deleting everything except this line from your export.lua dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-ExportScript\ExportScript.lua]])

For example, the Su17 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3316288/ is a flyable mod based on the SU25T. Although the controls have keybinds for the kneeboard, it never appears. Is there a lua file that needs tweaking?

correcting the registry entry to point to the DCS install on the C drive does not prevent KB from reassigning the install on the D drive as the DCS folder. weird.

I thought you said you used a magura lever. Isnt that hydraulic?
