Just to double check that you got this fixed, what you posted is what happens when you say "kneeboard," but the image you posted shows it on the kneeboard PAGE that is in the DCS kneeboard, not the VAICOM Pro one. This particular one you have up (the yellow notebook) is a kneeboard page added by the mission builder into the DCS kneeboard. To get to the VAICOM Pro kneeboard from there, you would have to page through with the "[" and "]" key until you see the VAICOM Pro one. That is the one with the tabs on top. To get the VAICOM Pro kneeboard to show the contents of the tab, you would say the keyword for it. "AWACS" will get you the AWACS tab, "Anvil" witll get you the JTAC tab, etc. Someone posted earlier that you can actually say their callsign (ie Magic instead of AWACS)--I assume that works, I haven't tried it yet. You can only the VAICOM Pro kneeboard features when your on screen kneeboard is displaying the VAICOM Pro kneeboard, so you may have to page to it with the [ and ] key. Once you are there you say the tab. For instance, you wanted what ATC said. So, from scratch, bring up the kneeboard and make sure it is on the VAICOM Pro kneeboard (if not, page to it). When the VAICOM Pro kneeboard is showing with the tabs on it, say "Traffic" and it will go to the ATC tab of the VAICOM Pro kneeboard. Alternatively, you can alt-tab to the Voice Attack window and whatever radio calls were made (and what you said) will be shown there as well. v6, boNes

Same! I thought it was from the last DCS patches, and I was changing resolutions etc without anything working! v6, boNes

Is this and Reforger I paid campaigns or included? v6, boNes

Somethings may have broken with the last few patches. I've flown almost all the mission before the patch and although I had live ammo and live ammo killed the opponents, it was no harm no foul because they just respawn for the next rounds. Willing suspension of belief thing. I don't think I've taken a hit yet. But the behavior of the F-15 has to do with the new AI that was added in October. They are more aggressive now and follow some logic to determine their tactics. So since this campaign was made before the patch, the F-15s--or any bandit veteran and above--now have no regard for the safety rules. This happens in the instant action missions too. ROE says gentleman's rules, no shooting at the merge but they do it anyway. v6, boNes

Despite it being shown as fixed in this latest open beta update, Mission 2 is still not working for me. Smoke and I hit all the waypoints, we both tanked, we both gossiped about Saint's incident, we both got to WP4 and I told him "Cut away"...and he didn't. So I don't know what is wrong. I'd send a track but don't know where the campaign ones are. I do have video if that helps. Please help! v6, boNes

Sorry I should have mentioned that I am using Voice Attack with VAICOM Pro and that's how you would do it there. v6, boNes

Where are the server track files located? v6, boNes

It may take that but it won't be as precise and I don't know that I'd have the time and space to do that. By visualizing, I would basically have to put the WP on my nose and see what my heading to it is and if it's off, then I'd have to turn onto to the correct course once I hit the WP, which depending on how far off it is might be a huge turn that I would have to correct back on the outbound. Then I'd have to center the course on my heading and insure the WP is at my 6 the whole time, which is not very precise but what can I do? And then if it's a non precision approach like a VOR-A then it may lead me to the runway but have me be off center by say 20 degrees and if the visibility is not there, I wou;wouldn't be able to correct in time and would have to go missed. (Tonapah is a good example that comes to mind). I'll give it a few shots and see how it goes. v6, boNes

I can't even open it in the ME because it says I don't have the WWI assets. v6, boNes

I just tried to do the Training Day mission that was made available here on Dec 22. WHile loading, it crashes saying I need WWII Armor and Technics Modules. v6, boNes

True but ADF and NDB approaches are few and far between. The only other thing I've been able to do is visualization and hope it's close, haha. v6, boNes

I ran the mission again, this time with the version you offered for download on this forum and Smoke just followed me around, no cut away, no tape's on. v6, boNes

Hm, I wonder how they can do instrument approaches if the airfield doesn't have a TACAN or TACAN approach. I'm sure it must be possible even in the later years of the Tomcat. v6, boNes

Looked up MAN steering in the Heatblur manual and all it says is, "MAN - Manual, selects manually selected course and heading as steering command source." but nothing about how to operate or utilize it. RIght now it seems it's only good for use as a heading bug or something. v6, boNes

I tried that but it didn't seem to make a course radial from my waypoint. ie, when I set the mode to DEST and folllow that waypoint caret, then switch to MAN, the course select becomes active, but the waypoint caret changes to say, my left instead of straight ahead. That confuses me. What am I missing? v6, boNes

OK, so I should just wait a bit until the next patch? v6, boNes

Is there a way to set a course heading with a waypoint/fixed point/IP/HB/etc? Like how you can if you are tuned into a TACAN? I would like to make some instrument approaches via WP but can't seem to find anyway to put in a course. v6, boNes

Around 46:28 v6, boNes

I just flew this last night and Smoke never leaves to go tape's on. He just stays in formation with me all the time. I know Baltic Dragon put out a fix but I didn't install it since there were open beta updates for that mission since Feb 2020 and I probably have the latest fixes as well since I am OB up to date, but Smoke never leaves me side. v6, boNes

You have to designate it in the LANTIRN when in the backseat. Then when you move to the front, if he loses it, tell him to track designation and he will go back to it. v6, boNes

OMG, I wish I saw this earlier. I just spent about 2 hours doing this mission and I got to the point that the original poster did. When the SEALs were told to go in and snatch the HTV, I circled overhead for more than 20 minutes and I'm like, you;d think the SEALs would have gotten him by now! So I gave up after about 20 minutes of circling--the bad guys were stuck at the checkpoint like he said in the above and no one was moving. I'll try again with the new mission--I take it this will be in the next patch? BTW, when you refuel with the tanker, what is the trigger to progress in the mission. I kept taking on fuel over and over (not that great at it yet) and it wasn't until many many times that he retracted his baskets and took off and I was told to go to the mission area. Is the trigger full tanks? Because I was thinking you don't necessarily need full tanks to prosecute...Or is the trigger just take on say 2000 lbs then disengage and the mission will progress? v6, boNes

Thanks, I'll try this out! I appreciate it! v6, boNes

Thanks, Looks like those solutions are for 3 monitors. I'm only using one. It's weird because it used to be in the top right all the time and suddenly it just changed to where it is now after the next to last patch. v6, boNes

Since the last patch, whenever I get a message from a script, instead of it showing up in the upper right hand corner of the screen like it used to, it shows up on the right center part of the screen or sometimes below. This gets in the way of my view or cockpit. Does anyone know how to move this back to the upper left? Thanks. v6, boNes

I can't determine this off the top of my head right now. I may have video of it and will have a look for clues there. I was defensive against its missile at the time to notice. I did try the stock HARMs v Russian SAMs IA mission for the Hornet and the SA-10 that I shot a HARM at landed like5 ft away from the SA-10 and there was no damage, splash or otherwise. I'll have to look for video on that too. v6, boNes
