powershell script, windows task scheduler. You'd have to shut down the server, though. Also can be done with powershell.

ugh. I spent the money with enthusiasm...and can't play the module. It's impossible without pedals, and my entire office setup would need to be redone to accommodate them. At least I'm the proud owner of a shiny new apache that I can look at!

coincidence.

all of these wishes are going to be irrelevant if they don't fix the AI. In 10 years, I would like the AI fix they promised 10 years ago.

Forgot to mention the chow hall for pancakes afterwards.

Open the device manager and see if you have any red X's. If you do, that's the problem Then I would start by uninstalling the virpil software on the PC. A firmware update on attached hardware shouldn't affect the PC, but unplug the hardware just the same. Check startup programs to make sure nothing is side-loading on startup. Disable any unneeded running applications. Update windows. Open an administrator-level command prompt and type (without quotes) "ipconfig /release", wait for it to complete, then type "ipconfig /renew". Although I highly doubt that this is the issue. With all that failing, try to restore windows from a known good restore point. Then contact virpil support. You've got a weird issue.

it can only be found by those who aren't looking for it

30mm HEDP rounds currently power *my* boombox with outstanding results. YMMV

a real mission profile would have multiple support flights. Multiple main package groups, SEAD, DEAD, EW, CAP, JTAC, JSTARS ground mapping, satellite intelligence, army types to clean up afterwards, etc.. The military would NEVER send a pilot in cowboy-style. Haven't played the mission, but my guess to your best bet is to use terrain to your advantage. Lock up the emitter(s) with a TPOD, go nap-of-earth and slowly notch toward the SAM until you're in GBU/rocket range. Although the rockets might not work against the AA. They're for soft targets. Now, if they have SHORAD as well as those SAMs, forget it -- you're a grape.

I think the core DCS code was written on one of those

I can verify. Just had this same issue last night. One of my flights was carrying m82 ballutes.

you can't. It's a DCS thing. Watching the round with F6 does the same thing. Workaround: find and select another close-by unit on the F10 map before the round hits. then, watch the fireworks.

thank you for these. Very much appreciated

looks like every road in eastern Pennsylvania!

I am having the exact same issue as the OP. This was all working fine about a month ago, the last time I used my bluetooth earbuds. Using the monitor speakers, DCS sound is fine. All other applications work fine with both speakers and earbuds. Now in DCS, the sound is distorted and sounds like it's modulated. I've removed and reinstalled all the audio drivers and fiddled with every output setting in DCS. All have the modulated sound. DCS is the only application doing this.

until this gets worked out, make sure to make backups of your missions. I've had this mod completely hose missions I spent hours and days creating.

please stop. You're misunderstanding where I'm binding these. They are being bound in the correct locations.

I checked. no axis controls, and all are bound in the correct location. In Axis Controls, bound the throttle slider to the rudder and it worked fine, however it's unflyable without three arms. I removed that, then bound rudder left and right to the throttle thumb hat 4-way switch (fwd and aft for left and right respectively). The whirlybird doesn't respond to the hat switch.

update: this happens only with the stand-alone server on the same machine as the client. When using the DCS game .exe (dcs.exe -server ), I can connect and fly the mission

That's nice. Thank for your thoughtful and insightful reply. I believe this was the answer given to similar questions 10+ years ago. And if we all just keep quiet about issues that are important to us -- the users paying the money for these modules, how is ED ever supposed to know what's going on with their own software and user base? Instead of defending ED pay model and dismissing issues you perceive as "complaining", perhaps the more people who "complain" about issues, the faster ED will prioritize the issues and add them to the fix list?? Yathink? ED seeing these attempts at discussion being "shot down" and dismissed by regular users would, in my opinion, make them think this is a localized issue to one user's PC setup and not the software as a whole.

I can see my local server in the list, however when I tried to connect to it, it just goes back to the server list page. I updated, repaired cleaned removed mods, removed and reset firewall settings... I'm kind of at a loss.

is everyone trying to fly the Apache using pedals?

believe me, I obsess over system optimization, double so when it comes to DCS. My system is optimized in every single way I can tweak it without overclocking -- which I don't do.

TM Warthog, no pedals as of yet. like the subject says, I can't seem to bind the rudder controls to a hat switch. I can bind it to the throttle slider axis, but I need an extra hand to work that. Anyone else with no pedals trying to work this thing?
