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.

Oh yes please look great

I download these skins last night as they look amazing but couldn’t find the B17 root golfer in DCS OpenBeta under mods or core mods and display hidden files was on. Did complete too searches, nothing? Confused.com

Or have they released it then and this is what you are referring to?

They are working on an up to date graphical version, can't wait!

Ok got the message found it myself with a more detailed search

Hi All Does anybody know why some mods no longer work i.e. have downloaded Burke Class ships from User Files Downloads on DCS Site, ships can be placed using Mission editor (USS Bainbridge, USS Cole and USS Pinkney) but when you fly out to look at them all you see is a bow wave. Happens with some aircraft MODS to from same place i.e. DC-3, DHC-6, Rafale etc. just don't show up but they are there as yesterday I blew up when I taxied into an Invisible one of them. Thanks in advance guys Mike

Can anybody advise please why I am apparently unable to assign a joystick button to taking screenies? I am using a reduced WiFi keyboard which doesn’t have the keyboard Sys key on it so presently unable to take any screenies at all. Any assistance greatfully appreciated. Thanks in advance.

For the last 3-4 days, whilst playing offline, upon start-up I've been getting messages asking me to input serial codes for F-15, which is part of FC3, which I have had successfully installed for a very long time. Also got same on another build for another aircraft which was previously bought and paid for and previously OK. I just click cancel and the aircraft work anyway?

Hi Tumbler, thank didn't work but it did lead me to looking into it further and finding the solution. So, my sincere thanks for taking the time to respond. I used some lateral thinking i.e. my other full version install v2.5.5 was working as it should, so I copied over the Saved Games>Options.LUA to the same location within the OpenBeta version and it worked. So, all sorted, thanks again for taking an interest. Mike

Just reinstalling so I’ll give it a try, thanks for responding, appreciated!

Hi, I am unable to take screenshots at present as default key binding for screenshots is SysRqs(?) which is not an option on my reduced keyboard. I have gone into key assignments in at attempt to assign either a different key or a controller button but it will not let me, I double click upon the default keyboard assignment and nothing happens i.e. normal sub-assignment menu doesn't appear. So, I am unable to assign an alternative. Can anybody advise how I navigate around this issue please? Thanks in advance Mike P

Hi there, have had 2.5.3, 2.5.4 & 2.5.5 installed and running in 3-screen mode for a long while now. I have, however, recently attempted to install the 2.5.6 Open Beta but when it starts up it does so with a truncated view which does not show or allow me to enter into the settings menu to setup my screens. Can anybody help me with how I get around this please and perhaps tell me why this is happening? Getting a normal start-up screen would be great as I can setups screens myself from there but f not possible what file do I edit please. Thanks in advance guys Mike P
