Hi all, have been flying the lovely phantom with joy for months but recently upon starting up checked controls and elevators/pitch not working. Functioning ok in AXIS settings and works for all other aircraft so not stick. Aug switches make no difference, mission restarts, DCS restarts, system restarts to no avail. first time it happened rebooted and it fixed it but hasn’t worked since. Again though it works in axis settings and on all other aircraft so not stick. Updated to latest DCS version today no difference. any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Mike P

Hi all I know from YouTube that last update caused an issue with FC3, which I am still experiencing I.e. on startup get told I am no longer licences and it is available for re-download which the doesn’t work. So, is there a thread (that I cannot find) detailing how to rectify the problem please? thanks in advance Mike

Hi all Been away for a bit, came back and ran latest update not find that none of my simpit switch boxes are appearing in controls section and of course none of them are not working. I have had a Leonardo, a mini and various other HID compliant cards working my switch boxes for years now suddenly they no longer show. All appear to be ok in windows and I am sure all were working prior to last update. Assistance would be greatly appreciated. Mike

Delay that, it was TER-9A 3 x Mk82 Snakeyes, dow!

HI PeeJott Sincere apologies for delay in reponding, have been in simpit building mode in the workshop for a couple of weeks and not paying attention to emails email. I do really appreciate your taking time to respond and I am not a time waster just got a little tied up on the eletronics side of things. Anyway, I confirm that I am referring to build VSN F-4E v2.8.2.103 Standalone with the full F-4 cockpit not the F-15. Initially I had issues dropping anything until I found a post about the new arming switch activation hidden behind the stick. Then all working except, as I say, for a single pylon. As I recall is was dropping Mk83 dumb bombs, just can't shake em loose. Any advice will be greatly appreciate I assure you. Thanks in advance Mike 'Zipper' P

Hi, I am able to drop bombs from the left Inner pylon but when I then attempt to drop from the right they either won't drop no matter what dog settings I have or repeatedly attempting to do so crashed DCS completely. Anybody else experience the same. Would love to resolve as otherwise I love this MOD! Thanks in advance guys

Just played 2.7 for first time, hats off to Wags and the teams I am blown away. Not just the clouds but at near to sunset over Nevada the ground lighting, the shadowing absolutely amazing guys and with no noticeable frame rate hit. DCS is the best! Thank you guys

Ok, many thanks

Hi, since the recent addition of wheel chocks when starting from cold and dark when you request them removed you get an 'unable to comply' response from the Ground Crew. I'm sure you will advise that this is down to me not having started up correctly, however, doing it as I always have and all warning lights extinguished. If you request removing before starting up it works and they will replace them too. So, what am I doing wrong please or is this a bug? Please confirm and keep up the fantastic work you guys do. Thanks in advance Mike P

Hi guys, running the OpenBeta latest updated seemed to fix whatever the problem was but my thanks to you both for taking the time and interest to respond. Many thanks Mike

Thanks guys, I'll try that in the morning, in bed now as in UK. If it doesn't work I'll send the info you've kindly requested Rudel. Thank you. PS: Running latest update overnight as I thought that might fix it.

Hi, SC became available of my system a couple nights ago and I ran the install in the usual manner but nothing appears, no new carriers in the Mission Editor, no new static equip or personnel. I've uninstalled and re-installed still nothing. I do get the SC icon on the desktop alongside all the aircraft and the desktop image part works but that's all and the instant action feature doesn't work either. I am running Open Beta 2.5.6, which the product states is the min. Can anyone point me in the right direction, can't see anyone else reporting same. Thanks in advance Mike

One can dream but what application is used for these models as I have previous exp fearing for FSX but some time ago now. Images look absolutely mouth watering, so envious of your skills.

Just saw a vid on YouTube of TOO being used to take out 7 individual targets simultaneously, so it can be done but above my ability right now as concentrating on the Harrier. Good luck

You can also use Leobodnar interface cards as I do easy to connect up, USB interface, solder or non-solder clip in options and no programming knowledge required uses std. joystick assignments.
