The first training lesson hangs at 1.18 Stores check. Despite clicking on COM2 button, the lesson does not continue. I am also not able to extend the speed brakes.

Works, thanks guys!

No I didnt. Worth a try. Thanks!

No luck for me at all. Cannot fly it, only AI flies it. Only one other mod is installed (A-4E-C).

Uff, I think i have to think ... In this case only Myse can really help out I think, because he has access to the code. I will try the same example with just the waypoints at a greater distance from each other, but I assume the result is then basically the same. There is some difficulty in selecting waypoints when they are at a near distance, because then the nav system automatically switches to the next one.

This is correct. It does not matter which type of fix you perform (either RADAR or OVERFLY), a fix on a navigation point shifts the whole flight plan. Any fix on a target waypoint shifts the target waypoint, nothing more.

It will hopefully included in the next patch, if the great lord of bits & bytes will be gracious to us. But it is available as download on www.viggen.training of course. Downloadlink in the OT.

Checked. Manual repaired. Thnx.

Thanks to Discord user fivedollarcrayons I was able to remove a long lasting issue on page 181, which showed the wrong combination of colors and coordinates for data input in REF/LOLA for Batumi airfield. I corrected my mistake, and the manual now reads: The repair will be pushed with the next Viggen update and most probably much earlier on www.viggen.training, together with some more changes that have been done already. Kind regards, TOViper

No. Data cartridge loading must be done in BER; in the past this was no requirement IIRC; on the other hand, the procedures requested it to be done in BER anyway, no other information was given before.

Having paid all the modules and then being thrown out of DCS for such an absurd reason is really a bummer. Why the hack is DCS permanently checking the status of a client by using a i386 computer connected to a 56k modem, standing somewhere in a wet cellar, when the authorization is anyway determined when starting up DCS? I mean, this is simply rediculos in my opinion and ED should really re-think this strategy. I am upset everytime I have a mission opened in the mission editor and then DCS quits without having me saved the mission. But anyway silverdevil, thanks for digging into the logs, much appreciated!

Yeah. It's a nasty issue that comes up from time to time, this time I went to the forum with that. For a user this error is just a totally unneccessary killer, because it literally stops you being able to play DCS without any reason.

Dear Viggen drivers, long time no read! As promised in spring, here is the newest version of the manual including updates that come with the DCS update September 17th, 2025. The overhaul of the manual took considerable amount of time. Anyway, I would have loved to release it earlier, but the updates on the Viggen took their time.

If in windowed mode, "move" works for me (just move the mouse cursor outside of the DCS window and you should be able to grab the upper border. This requires the mouse cursor to be able to be moved outside with the options set right for that. Resize does not work anymore obviously, but I remember it worked in the past a long time ago.

What I see right now is that FC aircraft like F-15C are still used on the servers which I am currently flying. Radar modes in the FC F-15C e.g. are for sure not as "detailed and correct" as in the real F-15C. So there is already a difference, but people still love to fly the FC F-15C, including my buddies and myself. I am sure there are people available in Sweden to help getting the basic radar modes working in a sort of FC-level JA37, but it seems no one is really willing to dig into. "Also, I think a too simplified JA 37 would lose some of the stuff that makes the JA 37 interesting, like the autopilot assisted gun mode." I think so too, not only because of one certain missing thing, but it could happen during the course of the journey that the information becomes somehow "known".

I am saying this since years. Then all the "it must be 1:1 the real aircraft, otherwise DCS world and the whole world itself will crash down - nogo - never argumenters" fall over the forum and Discord in destroying the idea with their infinite wisdom. That really became boring. It is a wonderful idea, and I really would love to fly it. At least FC level, but better of course in a more detailed level.

As Edge from U2 would say: A long delay ...

Cool, thanks for sharing this!
