Then i just got confused. Because it happened a few days ago from the gunner seat too, so my brain probably thought im running into the same again. But your right of course, it never showed tads from backseat. Lets ignore that mistake and assume we are in gunner seat. Thanks btw. What would restrict me from switching to TADS in gunner seat?

Hello together. Ive flow the Apache now for around 120 hours, so im not really new anymore. But since a few days (maybe since update?) i often have issues selecting the TADS after a while in flight. I just cant see the reason. Sadly i dont have a track because the last few times it happened in Mission editor Prepare Mission. but ive got it in the War for Palmyra Campaign too. I only a have a pic availabe. We can ask different: In which situation i would be prevented from choosing TADS (either by key bind or by the clickspot on the Stick). In this mission it worked fine until i had gunner selected for a few shots. Then i switched back to Pilot and found that im stuck to the FCR, no matter what. Well, i can use Up/P-HMD, Left/FCR and Down/Link. But Right/TADS does nothing. In Pilot seat that is, like mentioned. Any help would be nice, thanks Maybe i just forgot something over night, or im doing something different than usually, its not impossible ^^. That CRKT confuses me a bit. I have the feeling it has to do with that and im locked out bec gunner is using it? But how can i get out of that mode again? If that is the issue.

Hello. Did someone try this recently? I think i have an issue with this. I had DCS on F, but 500 GB was not enough. Now i got a 1TB SSD, moved the files over there, changed the paths for the desktop icons and the sim runs. That is not the issue. I also ran the repair (full). But whenever i update, i can see its trying to fetch the file list from F (old location). Its updating to G but it still requires the stuff on F, as it seems. How can one change the path internally for the updater index? DCS 2.9.x Win 11

This goes to anyone feeling left out because he doesnt have good rudder pedals: Please dont worry about it! Im sure everyone here is right and that its very important to have good ones and im also sure that its makes things so much easier. But this doesnt mean that only that works. I felt like that too for the first 2 weeks, because everyone in videos had it looking so smooth and always i thought like "yeah, they have good rudder pedals, thats why they can fly like that". Now we have a few weeks later and im flying this thing with my joystick twist axis out of choice. And it works really not too bad. It took hours of practice, probably around 25 to 30h but im really feeling proficient enough to do everything the module offers so far. Landing on the spot, by hover or rolling, hovering in air without ground effect, going down quickly without going into vortex ring state, doing wild maneuvers, it all works after enough practice. Those were the hardest, because movig twist without changing the cyclic isnt easy. But its doable. Didnt try much in the night yet though but im sure it will come now soon. I did quite a few missions now and starting to be able to focus on the missions, instead of fighting the controls, now more and more, after each hour more i spent time with it. Just keep on trying, you will feel so amazing when the moment comes where it all comes together and you are in control. If i can, probably most other can too. Dont take having not enough money to buy 200 Euro pedals as an excuse to not fly this bird, you would loose out on tons of fun. Going through the phase of doing nothing but learning to control this bird was hard but the reward was the best DCS experience i ever had. And i hope everyone else can experience the same, regardless of his hardware.

Check your Missile settings on the weapons page. Make sure its in SAL mode, not RF. "Missile Type. Toggles between semi-active laser (SAL) or radio frequency (RF) Hellfire missiles. Only selectable in the CPG station if TADS is the selected sight. When HMD is selected sight, SAL is automatically selected and barriered. If FCR is the selected sight, RF is automatically selected and barriered." It may be something else for you but this is why it often doesnt work for me. Seems i somehow activate RF mode often. And of course you have to slew him first to the target area. It gos like this (depending on acusition source of course): 1. look with your ihadss at the target area and slew him to that area with "short up" on the George interface, with missiles selected 2. Now left bottom of screen a list of targets appears. Scroll through the list with "short up/down" and choose one with "short right". 3. Now give consent to fire, if youre sure that the rectangle is solid To help see what George is seeing, click the video page on the display and choose CPG sight.

Had to let my settings to fight that issue. I made a post here somewhere where iwrote about the same. After a while my fos went down to crazy numbers. In the COIN in the mountains mission it went to 5 fps after switching the seats and alttab a few times. Then i lowered my settings (to an amount considerably lower than any other addon):and from that moment on it worked.

It was a bug. Not sure if it got fixed in todays update mabye.

It also works with llever 1 to flight position. So start eng 1, set to idle at ~18, wait for spoolup, put lever to fly and now start eng 2. Will work too.

Nice! Have to try that right away. So far ive used buttons to steer the cursor, for that reason.

Did a few more tests and I could fix it i think. When i loaded into said mission/tutorial i saw that my GPU is fully maxed. So i lowered texture resolution from high to medium and cockpit from the displays from 512 (every pic) to 512 only. This gave me an immense boost and no degradation. Did the same mission that led to the 5 fps after playing around for 30+ mins last time and now i get constant 60 fps basically. In both seats. It can go to some 50 at times but overall its really great now. Lost some quality on the textures thought but its still ok i guess. https://imgur.com/9aFxXv5 https://imgur.com/JS2UaGP Still, the difference to lets say F18 is still there. Because i reached the same fps in that one with the old settings. But i understand that there are a few displays more to render in the Apache. Would be amazing if we have a small bit of optimization maybe over time?

Thank you. I know I didn't bring much info but that was because it was so bad that i had to close the sim. Ill try to give more info next time. Maybe your testers can try the COIN mission in Persian Gulf map too. That was the worst case so far. Reaching the last waypoints let the sim explode basically. I was switching cameras a lot from P to CP to F2 view on the trip, making some screenshots. One other quick way to test would be the 4rth Tutorial mission, the one with the gun. Right when loading in i get topmost 28.fps. the further the tutorial goes and we are nearing the targets, switching the sights etc, the fps go down to 15. Again, when I jump into the F18 anywhere in the world it will be most likely 60 fps or near there. If it's not Marianas. But I'll report more, like mentioned.

Hello. Im enjoying the Apache a lot! What an amzing beast. Sadly i run into some problems with the performance. Im not sure if its some certain missions or degradation over time, but after a while the flight goes down to 5 fps (not exaggerated) and just becomes unflyable. Overall the performance seems a hefty difference to lets say the F18. I dont have th worst PC plus im someone who takes a lot of care what he does with his pc. Its all up to date, DCS installed not even a week, no mods or anyting. Only the F14, F18 and the Apache, plus some maps. The last time it happened was in a mission that comes with the addon, COIN in the mountains or something in English. Persian gulf. After nearing the destination the fps went down to 5, taking the whole pc with down with it. In the F18 i get steady 60 fps in most scenarios, in the Apache often only 20. My system is Intel 9900k (no oc) RTX 2080 (no oc) 32GB Ram 3200 WQHD resolution Win 10 22H2 Am i alone with this?

Hello. I have a weird issue with fps in the new map. For whatever reason it seems it gets stuck at 30 fps for me. I get 60 on vsync in all the other ones but here it stays fixed at 30 and wont budge. It doesnt go down to 29 and not up to 31, it stays at exactly 30 fps, in every camera and setting. What can that be? Those show the counter bottom right. Both are the freeflights from faststart menu that come the Regions. Precisely said, its like this: I spawn in freeflight and the instructor tells about the flightplan and sightseeing tour etc. I press Space to start and the first 20 sec it changes between 60 fps and 30 fps in waves. It starts at 60, goes slowly down to 30 and slowfly back up to 60, rinse repeat. Then after those ~20 sec it gets stuck at 30 fps for the whole duration of the flight. RTX 2080 (no oc) I 7700K (no oc) Stable version WQHD

Jup, that seems to have fixed it. Thank you :-)

on hdd. Can dcs be moved to ssd or one has to reinstall everything?

I can confirm that... Its nearly like on rails now. A lot less shaking and moving while doing turns etc. Felt it immediately.

same here. Its nearly unflyable. Maybe now even more stutters than before the patch. Its not low fps, i have enough of them (always over 50) but the dramatic microstutters and reloads. I cant fly like this, sorry. All other planes are mostly ok but this really hardcore. There are no 5 seconds where it doesnt pause for a split of a second, when doing turns its a constant stutter. Added to that it takes now (after the last patch) up to 5 sec until the RIO is usable. And that constantly. Maybe after calling him the 3rd time its a bit better but still then its around 2 sec waiting time until i can move cam, click things in RIO pos. I would love to have the patch/Ram fix rolled back.... Before it was better. RTX 2080 I 7700K 16 GB Ram Win 10 189 Pagefile of 16GB set in win An no, its not my system... i can run Lockheed Martins P3D, the benchmark of sims, pretty nice. Not even wanna talk about games like Division 2, BF4 etc, they all run in fully maxed settings with constant 60 fps vsync.

Same here, plane doesnt show up. I look right at the start of tutorial, theres nothing. The guns one worked for me

ive ready many reports it would be much harder as the F18. Personally i cannot say that. I had a lot more problems landing the F18. I remember dozens of tries until i could land it. Maybe things have changed by now and its easier now, i didnt fly it for a while. The F14 on the other hand was really easy to land.... i got it on the 2.nd try and since then landed it every single time. Additionally you have auto carrier land if youre lazy or have problems, one can use it to get into a nice position/speed too to do the rest manually. I dont know how this different reports come to be. Also here in topic, some say its way harder and the same amount thinks its more easy^^. Im one of the latter. Probably you have to find out for yourself what kind of person you are

edit: nvm, this one helped me i dont get it to work too. Same as above, when press nws/ap the plane does weird things. ither going in circle forever or simply crashes into the sea early. Im sure i have things set up right, i see the 4 lights sometimes too. But neither the gs is catched nor the course is flown

Thank you very much :-)

thats a good idea indeed :-) Maybe i do that even for myself. I think ill try that at least for the few i constantly have to reload. If they are usable i put the to youtube of course but cant promise it atm. Dont quote me on it ^^

Thanks for the answer. I never needed them but the F14 really takes some time to figure out for me. Difficult plane... if one wants to understand it and doesnt have much background. The Manual also is hard to read for me. So much military slang unkown to me. Never had this problem in the Hornet, nor A10 nor whatever. Would really love to have that text reappear. Now i always have to reset whole mission. Starts to hit my nerves a bit ^^ The whole tutorials are not much worth if things like "Move back to spider detent" without explaining what a spider detent is. I think ive spent already 3 times the amount of time in this tutorial cause of the reson with disappearing text/reload mission. Atm i feel like a full noob, even i have 5 or 6 planes in DCS and can fly most of them pretty well
