Hey! I downloaded the mod, put the folder Su-30_EFM_V2.7.98b to saved games > mods > aircraft, fire up dcs, go to mission editor, select russia, put plane on the map, click fly. Unfortunately I am not able to enter the cockpit. I have all necessary FC3 modules licenced and active. I am using latest DCS 2.9.13. version. What did I wrong? Please help, thanks!

Yup, happy it works for you again, after a long time of experimenting I was interested in this thread, I had similar problems in the past, but got it somehow "sorted out" by doing this and that, and by then avoiding the software for about a year or so. I did not remove and start from scratch though. It's good to know that at least this "hard reset" of VAICOM is good enough to get rid of the problem your machine had.

That sounds reasonable, yes. I think there is no way around in playing with the mods ON/OFF and do further tests. Anyway, good luck mate!

As last resort I would try other buttons and if this doesn't work, I would start from scratch with a new configuration. I have no other ideas left.

Maybe its not the very best idea to nuke everything. Maybe its better to just simply backup everything, start with a clean input folder, and do some tests. If you experience problems with just one or two buttons, you could then use your original input folder, and get rid of only the bindings that aren't working. Reading through your longer post above, it seems that the problem is the controller itself (I dont have any experience with these TBH), so it might not be worth nuking everything. Usually it takes ages to bind everything for all aircraft and it would be sad to lose all of them, you know what I mean?

You could only wipe the folder Config\Input\AJS37. This requires you to only set new bindings for the Viggen, not for other aircraft you own. Be sure to make a backup of the folder just in case you do something wrong (ZIP it or move it somewhere else), or want to come back later.

... and playing with these two?

Is that maybe missing?

Units and such things have been a mess in DCS since the early days, and this didn't change much. I have only seen one little exception in that they added the info "Blows to dir" for the wind information in the ME. Fact: mmHg is used in Russian aircraft/helicopters; at least in DCS . Fact: inHG is used in many aircraft around the world. Fact: hPA is used in many aircraft around the world. So It would be very useful to have all three units mmHG / inHg / hPa at one place whenever a pressure setting is written somewhere (Briefing, ME, whereever). Also, in ME, whenever a groundspeed is configured for a waypoint, you only get the Machnumber automatically with it (because there is a dedicated field for that), but not the TAS or the CAS (temperature is known because of the ME weather settings). It would be good enough IMHO to have the ability to just read it somwhere besides, no reason for input. Often, one would need that when designing missions. This would make the life of mission designers a bit easier on that side.

Hey jubuttib! I tested the L MAL button in the current stable version, and it works fine using a keybinding on the keyboard. I suspect a double key binding. Can you assign another key that is 100% for sure not used somewhere else and try it again?

and then produce it.

This will not happen, unless an asteorid hits the planet. There are enough crazy guys out there who will not abandon working on this great module

Just asking, why would a restriction make a combination invalid? If one weapon is missing, the other one is still there to be used? Or didn't I understand what you want to say?

That's why they always say: Make sure you use the current manual. Or simply RTFM. Read the flight manual And yes, there was a major rework on the KB code a few months ago, which required some changes to the manual as well. Always grab the latest and hottest manual here: Why there? Because HB and ED are simply not fast enough in uploading a new manual to the builds. This has to do with the general update strategy the companies are using, and I usually tend to update at least every 3-4 weeks, or when important changes in the manual are pending.

A more suitable "workaround" for the hot/cold spawn topic is to have the agressor aircraft set to immortal and ask the agressor pilot report impacts of missiles and let the agressor pilot just report "lockon" or "fox [x]" if he is in a shooting position. This requires a buddy pilot though.

To be clear, it's unfortunately NOT working.

Just received message from Myse, which I want to share with all mindful readers of the Viggen manual. It will be corrected with the next manual revision, but I wanted to let you all know in advance. null

Happy new year dear Viggen pilots! Unfortunately, the newest manual revision again didn't make its way into the DCS update which was released on Monday. You can download the latest revision RC2.1.2501 using the link in the first post of this thread. Sorry for the slight delay, I was very busy these days. Manual revision 2025-01-15: page 162: Changed section "Weapons impact fix" slightly (Bomb release mode PLAN is currently not implemented); thanks Machalot! page 215: Changed section "Ejection seat handles" slightly; thanks to forum user Pyrocumulous! page 215: Changed label for picture 186: now reads "DISARMED" instead of "SAFE" and "ARMED" instead of "UNSAFE" for didactic reasons. page 295: Changed section "ARAK Long-range mode checklist" slightly for didactic reasons. page 301: Reworked section "M71 / CCIP (high drag bombs only)" slighly for didactic reasons page 301: Added parameters for optimum delivery for CCIP bombing (high drag bombs) page 302: Added "M71 / CCIP, checklist" for CCIP bombing (high drag bombs) Kind regards, TOViper edit: with DCS update 2025-02-19 the manual is now part of the module.

Same effect, starting at 900 feet AGL and below the frames start to drop. No grass, lowest object and tree setting. Tried with AH64 and Viggen. In Viggen RHM set to off/on makes no difference.

Done, thank you Pyro!

Thank you flappie!

Hey Noise Champion! Is it possible to have a track file of such a flight? At least it would be good to know on which server this happens ... Please provide as much detail as you can!

You cannot set QNH in flight, nor set QFE in flight, so IT IS useless.

This is a very old bug, it exists since years, but I think it hasn't really been reported. I stumpled over it from time to time. It must have to do with switching between trigger action SOUND TO ALL and trigger action SOUND TO COALITION, or something similar. IIRC the most problems I had was with the trigger action SOUND TO COALITION.

Hello Razbam Team! The recent update of SA map was really a good one. Thanks for the hard work you have done guys, and please dont' stop carrying out some more work on other areas of the map. It's really worth it I think. Despite SA being the only Razbam module so far, SA and Kola are my most beloved maps in DCS, period. Kind regards, TOViper
