I cannot seem to find the keyboard items for these 2 commands in my revised keyboard default lua after making the above changes. What am I doing wrong?

When I have MK 82 loaded and trying to bomb a target, I see a line in the HUD with the letters DE. What is that?

My fellow flyer and I are trying to set up our own DCS server, but no matter what we do, including following the above, we still have the game paused when started. We want the game to start "unpaused", but seem to be unable to do so. Any thoughts?

Zyll "It will say at the top of your RWR [sic EW]screen "Man 1" or "Man 2" up to "Man 5" if you are running with your presets. Whatever it says is the program that the aft button will activate." Thanks Zyll. Finally someone gave me the correct answer to my perhaps confusing question. Tried it and it works. PS: I am using your suggested programs but changed #5 and added program 6 to the change list but used 10 reps and not 20 reps.

"To change the AFT program use the 'STEP' button on the EW MFD to select programs 1 through 5." But how does the Hotas know that AFT is now program 2 and not 1?

Maybe the game is dulling my mind. Could someone give me a step by step example of changing default 1 to say default 3.

On page 161 of Chuck's guide on countermeasures-chaff and flares, it states: You can modify which program is used by either AFT or FWD Dispense by clicking on the STEP OSB. I am not sure how this works if you want the AFT default to be say #2 and the FWD default to be say #3.

One of the benefits of doing the full campaign in two parts is that DCS is constantly changing the ME and as a result, these changes tend to break campaigns. By waiting till you do 20 missions, I am sure that the early missions may have problems as a result of changes. By getting the early missions out the door, at least they will work for a time.

Len62 thanks. now I am interested.

I was wondering what the RIOs did after the Tomcat was retired? I assume that they went on to other Navy positions-what did the majority transition to?

I am not sure that Len62 answered my question. In trackir, I can set joystick button 3 to center trackir and joystick button 4 to pause it without assigning either commands to a keyboard key command. Can opentrack do the same?

Does opentrack recognize joystick buttons -without key assignments- like Trackir does? I currently use Trackir but am getting tried of some issues that I have with it and I am thinking of going with the delanclip/Ps3 opentrack package.

I agree with kaitokri.

Alerax Is it possible for either you or your girlfriend to do a how to video in YouTube as to setting up your mod, especially the trigger thing. I am not familiar with the ME.

CH sent me a replacement for the broken potentiometer and with the help of forum members, I replaced the two potentiometers and all seems to be fine.

reparing the rudder pelals with new potentiometers CH was nice enough to send me two new potentiometers but when they arrived, one set of prongs were broken off. I have requested another replacement. Will keep you posted.

So far it seems to work fine with CZ's F18 profile.

I am using Loz's A10 Helios profile with the changes made by Capt Z. All of the extra panel tabs work fine EXCEPT for the radio tab. When I press it nothing happens. Before I have to redo the profile, am I missing something? update: user error.

On the Su-25T profile, how would I go about inserting the six button autopilot panel? I don't need it to be clickable, just to display what has been imputed.

Myst Thanks. With my eyesight, the bigger AMPCD may be helpful.

Myst If you are amenable, please attach your modified profile. It looks interesting and I would like to try it out.

CZ Everything is still working fine with your F18 profile, but I do have 2 possible errors: First, the pitot tube does not stay up in the profile, but does so in the game cockpit. Second, the altimeter warning dial on the left front does not work in the profile, but does so in the game cockpit. I have been flying the F18 from day one and so far, these are the only 2 items that I have noted. Bless you.

Hollywood/Greyman I am still confused. I never knew about the button at the bottom but I still do not understand what to do next. After hitting reload and finish buttons in the Keyword Editor, a window pops up concerning the updated keyword database. The 3rd paragraph states to double click the “AI Comms” command (category keywords collection) and clear all existing keywords in the “when I say” field and then apply paste to place the new keyword set and press apply when done. I am a little confused on these instructions. Under the Heading Description, there are numerous AI Comms. Do you go thru each one or what?

I am able to use Vaicom Pro but still no comms menus appear. I could not find anything in the game that was labelled subtitles. My work-a-round is to use button 17 on the WH joystick to call up the comm menu if I need it.
