I just checked and they are all definitely there. Maybe he originally just put the fixed ones in, but it's definitely the full packs now.

Hmmm, confused then. On the web page it says, 'Bagel Fixpack Edition combines these campaigns into one collection', and I've just tried a couple with just installing the originals, and all works fine. Why is the original needed? They would go into different named folders not related to Bagel's stuff at all.

Is it just the Bagel Fixpack that is needed?

Thanks Stuart. I'll check them out. Do they have a spoken instructor? I'm sill curious to hear whether my memory is playing tricks or if there used to be official Maverick TMs for the Hornet!

In my DCS/Mods/Aircraft folder, I have 2 F-5E related folders, i.e. 'F-5E' and 'F-5E 2024'. Yet, in Saved Games, etc. there is still just the one - F-5E. Is it safe to delete the F-5E folder in Mods/Aircraft? As things stand, I get 2 x missions showing in DCS.

Been away form the Hornet for a long time and wanted to get back into it. So, I decided to have a refresher and go back over the Training Missions. Pretty sure there used to be a couple of Maverick TMs which I don't see any more. Were they removed?

Fair enough guys. Personally, I have never had an issue with kneeboards in core folders. I rarely do repairs, and if I do, I just run Open Mod Man to put all mods back.

By manage, do you mean having them in user folders rather than DCS install folders? I’ve never used user kneeboard folders and have never had an issue. What is the advantage?

I don't understand really what the issue here is. I mean, I install them all into 'Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\terrains\xxx\Kneeboard' with one click in Open Mod Manager. Updates don't tend to affect them at all, and if they do, then it's just one click again to install in OMM. Sorry if I am missing something obvious.

Can everyone interested in Tobii please message Eagke Dynamics about getting integrated support which almost all games have now.

Just to say that MSFS 2020 and 2024 have both native support for Tobii, so no need for OpenTrack or GameHub. Also, I don't have the issue you describe in DCS with OpenTrack. Could be a settings thing. Have you tried GameHub with DCS?

Not quite as good as TrackIR, but not having a hunk of plastic stuck to my head makes up for the small difference. The Tobii is mounted at the bottom of the monitor and it is tilted up.

Yes!

I never use Tobii for eye tracking. Just always head tracking with no hunk of plastic stuck to my head.

Yep, the mode switch modes 2-5 buttons are 56-79. Buttons 80+ are the virtual buttons for detents, flaps, etc.

Now, that is an excellent idea!

Yep, thanks for that. I accept that producing missions isn't the map makers job, however, it would clearly be in their business interest to make their map as attractive as possible to potential buyers, and half a dozen missions for the top 4 or 5 modules wouldn't be too onerous I would think.

Thanks again. In my experience, 3rd party devs don't tend to add much after release. I've never understood why the map devs don't construct more missions for their maps to make them more attractive to buyers. As mentioned above, South America is the perfect example. I don't know what the sales were like, but I have not used it since the first week I bought it just after release. Missions were promised, but never materialised. A complete waste of £60. It put me off buying any more maps. We're getting OT, so I'll stop now!

I know what you mean! Good to hear.

Thanks Stuart! Hope you're doing OK!

Thanks for that. Are there missions for popular aircraft like Hornet, Viper, F-4E, Tomcat etc.? I don't have any of your examples above (except the unused TF-51 obviously).

I'm thinking of buying this map, but don't want to get stuck in a South Atlantic situation where after several years there are only a few Heatblur missions available. On that map, people said, don't worry the missions will gradually come after release. They didn't. So, can anyone with this map tell me what IA and SP missions there are already on this good looking map? Thanks. (Yes, I know there is ME and there are some User missions to choose from on SA, but that's not the point.)

I presume GT is a typo for GH. IMO, there is no point in using GH with OT. Use either standalone OT or GH. Using OT inside GH means running 2 pieces of software for no real benefit IMO. At the moment, I am switching between the recently released version of GH and OT. The GH is pretty good, I feel. Eye tracking off and camera boost on. Happy to post my settings, but what works for me probably won’t be right for you.

From your point of view, I get what you are meaning, and it works well for you. That is great! However, my point is that eye tracking is not at all 'natural' as you mention often. It works basically the same as head tracking except that you are using your eyes and not your head. When humans look at something within their range of vision with their eyes, their range of vision doesn't change. You can be looking straight at a dial and look at a message in the top left of your vision without leaving the orientation of the dial. In essence, you seem to like using your eyes more than your head for changing your physical vision position, and that's fine, but natural, it isn't! VR is way better from this pov, and I used it for a number of years, BUT, in the end I got fed up with a hunk of plastic being stuck to my head, and for the same reason, I much prefer my Tobii to my TrackIR.

Let me give you an example. Let's say you are in a training mission, and you constantly having to reference the messages in the top right of the screen and then go back to the dials etc. to input values/selections, with eye tracking on, it is almost impossible to remain orientated with all the bouncing around that goes on with the vision range position. Whereas, with eye tracking off, there are none of these issue as you can just look at the messages with your eyes while still remaining focussed on the dials/switches, like in real life.
