I see that Chizh has posted to the weekly news update, due to the bug in tapatalk, but that the post isn't live yet... AaarRRGgghh! I need to know already! Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

I also get this "pre-notification". I always thought it was some kind of bug, but now hearing others also get it means I'm not going crazy :) Looking at the screenshots that have been posted recently, and the reduced chatter from the dev team, have been making me hopeful in the last couple of newsletters for some kind of announcement. Alas, no such luck yet... But I'm really looking forward to this :) Here's hoping for some good news this side of xmas. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

You could have told me that was a photo and I'd have believed you! Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

What do you see when you lool in the control panel settings for the joystick? Does it show the same behaviour as you describe in the aircraft? Or is this something that happens only when DCS is active? Is this behaviour only triggered once the SST is running, or will the joystick also behave the same when it has been killed? Any other settings or setup that we should be aware of when deacribing your issue? Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

I tried many custom profiles, but found that the smooth profile by default is pretty good imho. Also placement of the camera just on top of the monitor bezel is best, with at least 30-40cm distance between the camera and the trackIr reflector at the closest point (when leaning in). Less than this, gave me jarring head movements where the head would suddenly block looking down right, or make 180 flips when trying to make fine adjustments to look at the controls. Hope this helps... Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Hi TripleSeven. Any chance you could start a new thread providing info on how you changed the pots, or what you looked for when researching replacement pots. I wanted to do the same thing with my x52, but gave up as I have not enough understanding of electroincs to be able to decide what is required to source replacements that will work. I think that if the pots were replaced with quality equipment that doesn't judder like jelly in an earthquake, the joystick would be awesome... Much thanks in advance (if you do it :)) Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Ok, so in fact I was able to test tonight after all :joystick: Thanks for the feedback, very helpful. Having confidence in the setup, I left the green on CH4, and realised that the AWACS comms are not immediate, they are not triggered by the radio as like the flight lead when you start the mission. By leaving the radio on, in fact you just hear them randomly during the flight. Very Cool!!! :thumbup: Also, switching to true heading solves the issue for me, so after the touch and go, now I can bring myself around on the circuit by using relative headings to the runway, instead of flicking back and forth between the map view to see where I am going. Thanks for the guidance and support. Now on with the campaign :pilotfly:

Thanks for the feedback baltic_dragon. I don't have much free time this week, but will give an update once I manage to test as instructed above, probably this weekend, or early next week. Cheers!!!

It's how I found it, then moved over once I found out more through the forums :) Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Hi all, I seem unable to hear the radio comms with the tower or the AWACS. When starting up, I don't hear the feedback from the tower when the flight lead asks for permissions to taxi / takeoff. I'm sure I heard it once, but that appears to have been by chance. I'm also having an issue when the flight instructor says to switch to channel 4 to hear the AWACS. If I change the bottom radio, I lose contact with the flight lead, if I change the top radio I don't hear anything. Could someone give me some clear instructions on how I should be configuring the radio panel to be able to hear all the communications I think I'm missing? Apart from the missing comms, I'm able to complete the mission, but from what I've read from the other threads, it seems like I'll need to do this later in the campaign too. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Loving the campaign otherwise. A second quick question, is the January compass bug still there or has it been fixed? I thought it had been updated already, but I still seem to have it. INS seems to be set correctly using the notes from the kneeboard.. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Out of interest, what benefit do you get from running the steam version? Purely from an interest point of view, not judging :) Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Lol, given the title, I was expecting that to go somewhere completely different. Well done that man! and have a +1

That would be most appreciated if you would. Coming from someone that can fly the plane, but gets shot to buggery every time I play... [emoji23] Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

no point releasing the harrier if there's no f-18 to run CAP ;) Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

still downloading update that I needed to force install by running command line. Splitting hairs here, but my update is 4416.9MBytes. If yours was only 2gb,do you need to try downloading the update again. If it was the right size, hopefully others can fill in the gap? Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

just keep using the updater shortcut. keep opening it repeatedly until it updates. took me about 20 minutes. I'm downloading pretty well once. connected, but it would appear that the servers are a bit overloaded... Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

lol, repeated trying has paid off. for those still waiting, keep calm and carry on... :D Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

but if nothing else, it does show how big the community is, which has to be taken as a positive :) Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

looks like something funny.. it tells me that 2.0.5.3889.199 is up to date, but no terrain or purchased module for normandy available. :doh: will keep trying, but dcs keeps telling me no internet connection or nothing new... Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Yay!

Ummm, I see a lot of people talking about backing on kickstarter or whatever. If I bought the map+assets in the sale from ED last month, am I still elegible to download tonight, or is this only for the kickstarter crew???

I'm looking to enjoy the scenery in the M2000C. Gonna set up an intercept mission with some Russians bombers coming from the North Sea, as has been noted in recent times. French ship with the "Cygnes" livery over French territory, replicating what they do on a daily basis still today... love it.

that's one sexy muthaf*****.... :D Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
