you can use in the modifiers tab to make a modifier or a switch that you can press to switch to an extra function. An encoder has 3 buttons - left, right and press. You can make the press a modifier, and use left and right, then map the modifier to the left and right as well (or as a switch) and you will get 2 additional key binds. To map them, map the initial left and right buttons, then tap the modifier and map the left and right buttons to different functions.

You sure the \ command has been changed? Works on the ground...in the air, not so much.

the inside dimension is 6 1/4", should fit. Youll have to scale the image a tad bit.

A few things Ive been observing as of late with the AI pilots: They fly 100' NOE 100% of the time instead of straight and level. Flying formation with AI is impossible as they always have to jump 100' higher to clear obstacles in front of them, even if they arent in any danger of hitting them. For some strange reason, with the aforementioned issue the AI sometimes will hover behind a hill and THEN climb and return to forward flight instead of just flying a baro altitude. Most of the time, the wingmen in the same helicopter group lag far behind the leader. Insert random helicopter maneuver that doesnt make any sense In the attached TACVIEW document, scroll to around the 37 minute mark while observing Springfield 1-1. Ive flown this mission multiple times in multiple aircraft in the same scenario; Springfield 1-1 just does this every single time. Now some of these AI quirks have been around since day 1, but some of these have started recently as well. Are we ever going to get an AI smart enough to fly a simple straight line in a helicopter? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QEeU1dsqnegIbUkwIx4bW_E9-apr0HZ_/view?usp=sharing

You can use your WEP at high altitudes so long as MAP doesnt exceed 62". Ive used it plenty of times over 25k' without so much as an overheat issue. Not recommending it, but the limitation being that a time limit is imposed on your engine when you exceed 62".

I wouldnt expect full support for multicrew heli modules anyways since those are multi choice kinda options. Hopefully we'll hear from him soon...the vaicom discord has always been quiet.

there was an update for the apache just recently, so he seems to be working on it.

Question - I got -for the most part - the missions ready for the campaign file. Turning them into a .cmp file is aggravating me to death and putting them in no order...even though Im trying to put them in order. So how do I do that? I got stage 1, add a mission (in this case Stage 1 is Mission one, then Stage 2 is Mission 2 and so forth) and when I play the campaign the second mission is first. What am I doing wrong here? And even then, the other missions arent showing up after completing the first. edit nvm...think I got it.

You're able to use a mouse in that menu? Ive always had to use key commands. Are you saying you cant use the mouse to click ANYTHING in DCS?

Well it might not be; Boeing and Lockheed do different things with their software.

Gotcha, that was what I was referring to, forgot about the -65.

Nobody mentioned anything about whacky control issues with the cyclic, but yeah I recall that thread and couldnt find my issue mentioned.

I recall this being a thing in the -16 with the Litening pod, but is it something we also do in the Hornet? And if so, with both pods or just one or the other?

Starting the aircraft normal going through the voiceovers, when the aircraft is fully started and you can exit the mission, I tried to fly around as a test flight to see if my keybinds work. The cyclic wouldnt work as it should; matter of fact, adding power pushed the aircraft backwards. The disk animation shows the cyclic actually functioning, the cyclic animation shows its functioning properly, but the physical action as a whole gives you zero control with the cyclic. I tested the mission twice. I tested 2 separate missions in between these two tests to show my cyclic works correctly, and both times in this training mission I had no cyclic authority. Is that by design? Here are 4 tacview files that show my issue. TRNG 01 is the faulty missions. The first one I managed to get cyclic authority, but barely, and only after spinning out of control on lifting. Only happens training mission 1.

Trying to map a few items that arent mapped to a keyboard in DCS, for example: Ralt + Home = starts engines...but lets say igniters are mappable in DCS by pressing a button to assign, but no keyboard shortcut exists.

Honestly, not sure if it will help you...not that I am positive it will, just that Im not really sure about your headset. Primarily used for bypassing steam vr if you use a windows mixed reality based device. If it uses WMR, then yeah itll help. Give it some research, heres the thread.

I meant your computer specs. All FPSVR tells me is that your pc isnt optimized. What hardware do you have? I wrote this back in February and my problem has pretty much been solved. I dont recall what the fix was, but that was around the time I went to OpenXR and havent worried about performance since.

I was able to keep OpenOVR up and running since this whole thing started -and still works. Ask and I shall post the files for install.

specs?

thats an expensive way out...you can do a lot with the AIM-7. Bracketing a target is a good thing - shoot one in LOFT and shoot another normally and the bandit will have to defend in 2 different directions. You cant really do that with the AMRAAM. The only real problem you have to solve for is how to maintain the lock. Learn how to work the radar by learning how to use its PRF and manage your altitude to be level or below that of your target and you should be fine.

Like I asked: a conversation? Adults do do that to resolve conflict from time to time. Again, I dont see how thats a bad idea.

You're right, I am assuming. I wonder why....I just want a conversation as to when and why they picked that specific model which someone else was working on. Again, need a conversation because of previous cases where it left bad blood in the water. The ONLY thing I am asking for is to make it right. You are looking at one mans passion poured out to the community for almost 3 years being taken from him, at the very least an explanation would be nice. Dont see how thats unreasonable. A lot of these 3rd party manufacturers came from the Microsoft universe - Kinney, IRIS, VEAO, Razbam, possibly a few others on this list - I understand why the vast majority of them left, and nobody is missing out.

If I tell a joke that I got from another comedian and I made a profit from it, that comedian can sue for damages. Likewise if I post an idea that is well received and to be made free and someone else took my idea and made a profit from it, you're stealing potential profit from them should they wish to go that route. Nobody claimed that OG stole anything other than the idea, Im stating that maybe he took that idea form SVK in bad form or bad faith, and much the same can be stated with the L-39 project which the Patriot team was working on. As far as Monogram, Itali, HK and other plastic model makers, they never took someones idea away from them for profit without royalties - they are in direct competition with one another. I can go on amazon all day long and point out cheaply made chinese alternatives to good ideas stolen from other companies. Again - just because its not illegal doesnt make it right : THATS what I am alluding to.

I am reminded heavily of the L-39 and this exact situation. Im sorry, but that wasnt a good look. There needs to be conversation...not accusing anyone, just stating an obvious fact that people need to consider.

All I am suggesting is that there absolutely needs to be a conversation between these two parties and/or with ED because quite obviously there is a conflict of interest.
