Yea that's not the topic of the entire thread or anything. :music_whistling: But it seemed many were not aware how to get it to work AT ALL, hence my info.

Search for "Throttle Designator Controller" THAT is the control for the slew, and you can map it to a hat switch. NOTE: YOU MUST BE IN AA MODE. if you are not in AA mode the cursor will not move.

I think the keys are < > , /

Any news/update on this? I too purchased the M2000 through steam.

I bought the M2000 through steam and cannot use it in the ED store version.

I first found DCS on steam so that's where I got the game and first few modules, I wasn't even aware of a standalone version, or that it would be different. I paid full price for the mirage 2000, and I have 100% proof of legit purchase.. but if I want to fly it now I have to buy it again. Same platform, SAME PC.. have to buy it again. Seems reasonable.

OB?

Payment went through and all that jazz... don't see it in module manager.. :cry:

I would like to fly my M2000 that I paid full price for...

Just had this happen again, and its really starting to get under my skin. Roll in on a sam site, waiting for lock.. waiting... sam fires... waiting... LOCK! missile wont fire... because... no reason whatsoever, hmmmm lets deselect and reselect then try agaBOOM! DEAD..

I have noticed A: sometimes it will not fire, have to deselect and select it again to fire B: when locked the target ring/sight does not go where the target actually is. C: after firing one the sidearm the tone studders and the next will not lock unless you deselect and reselect the weapon. I know these things were recognized as bugs when the module was an alpha, but they still seem to persist. or is it just me?

It seems cruise missiles fired from ships do not interact with anything but the ground, and dont do much area damage. Set up a mission where in some ships fire on a sam site. The missiles pass completely through the targets and explode next to them, doing no damage. It also seems bombs have almost no blast radius/damage. very near misses on soft targets often do no damage but if I recall this has been an issue in previous versions..

Ah good to know, so switch to dynamic then.

If i create a mission in the editor that has any sort of cloud settings, the clouds appear fine. HOWEVER. If i view other aircraft, then go back to viewing my own, all the clouds are gone, and they stay gone for the rest of the flight. Viewing other aircraft causes the weather to reset to blue skys.

I made a mission to test some strafing some armor to watch and learn from.. and the recorded track is different from what actually happened... As in I hit the tank (it popped) but on the track I missed it, then on the next pass on the track I get shot up, which didn't happen.. after a few min the track shows me shooting at nothing... nowhere near where the targets were.. none of this makes any sense.. :noexpression::noexpression::noexpression:

That took care of it, no idea what was wrong but I am good to go now. THANK YOU!!!

RELEVENT: found someone else with same issue: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=205350

Im trying to run 2.5 in VR (rift) and all is generally well until the initial loading screen (the one where it says DCS, with the clouds) it quickly loads to 55% and then just stops, and never goes beyond that. The only mod I was running was a sound mod but I got rid of that, no difference. No idea what to think, first time running the game in quite some time. Ive run DCS_updater.exe repair from command, no change. any ideas? Win10 Geforce 1070 (latest drivers) I5 7600K @4ghz 2x 250GB SSD Raid0

Well I ordered a Pimax 4K so we will see of that fixes it.

I recently purchased the F86 module and was really excited for some good ole mig ally action.. Problem is I cant see a Mig15 pretty much at all, to the point where I can know EXACTLY where it is and be looking directly at it and unless I'm right on top of it, I cant see it at all. I know this is related to the resolution of the Rift, but I ---DESPISE--- using labels, even using the period mod looks like trash (IMO) There is no longer an option for object magnification it seems, which helped in 1.56. Is there a mod or tweak to help this out a bit? I know many games address this issue by rendering the aircraft as a minimum pixel count (dot) out to a certain range, a good example would be ACES HIGH. If the AC is within a distance that it is reasonable that you could normally see it, it will always be at least a dot so it cant "hide" in the resolution. I've tried searching but I run into the familiar quagmire of time VS version lots and lots of threads but most are dated either regarding the iteration of the rift or the game itself so the solutions/ideas in them are no longer relevant to the game or rift. Could really use some help.

I submitted a ticket, and have been back and forth a few times, and the situation is even more confusing. According to ED, who sent a screenshot, it shows I have COMBINED ARMS installed, that is what the serial number references. He told me to disable combined arms. weird thing is, I don't have combined arms, and never have, never even messed with it, so it isn't listed as an installed module at all. (sent them screenshot as well) I thought maybe it was Steam related so I disabled all modules through steam and then completely uninstalled the steam version, made no difference. I'm currently waiting for a reply. This is funky :huh:

Well yes you can do a lot of things by finding workarounds and installing more 3rd party software of course. I just -wish- it was something the game supported natively.

It isn't as far as I can tell. The only shortcut listed is "request AWACS home base".. for what reason I have no idea.
