It works fine in my HOTAS too. What happens when you go to the controls page and then hit your HOTAS button? Does it jump right to the command in the list? If not, it might not be seeing that particular keystroke. Maybe clear it and then rebind it just to be sure. Also check to see if another key is blocking it, or an axis. I have a slider on my HOTAS that if I forget I have it on, it is constantly sending slider inputs and thus not allowing my, say, landing gear down input to go through. v6, boNes

I noticed that the practice missions that are meant to be Single Player standalone (not campaign) still install into the campaign folder then you have to move them to the SP mission folder. This has been the case ever since the campaign became available. Any plans to fix this? Also I noticed on the 1v1 Guns Only practice mission, that the bandit almost always goes for the hard deck and ends up breaking it, triggering a knock it off. I don't recall him doing this before 2.9. Is this something new or a bug? v6, boNes

Since the 2.9 upgrade I've noticed that shades will flicker on and off. For instance, see this (bad) refueling in the F-16 and in the underneath of the KC-135, you can see the fuselage shades coming on and off especially between 01:15-02:15: I tried with both anti aliasing on and off, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I'm running an RTX4070 OC edition with 12 GB VRAM. I've got pretty much all the video settings set to high in DCS. If this is too high, what setting should I decrease to remove this? The shading also can be a problem for when I'm landing ashore...it always feels like there are overcast cloud shadows making it harder to see where the airbase is, even though the sky has scattered clouds or is clear. Thanks. v6, boNes

Thanks!

BY profile name, I mean within VoiceAttack, when you select via drop down menu which profile you want to use, which in this case is the VAICOM Pro one. I had heard that the VAICONM Pro profile had to use underscores not spaces, but wasn't sure about that. And yes, I misspoke and when I said starting VAICOM Pro, I meant Voice Attack. So I remembered reading in the VAICOM Pro manual over a year ago that you had to wait for Voice Attack to start up completely and load your VAICOM Pro profile before starting Teamspeak or it might now work. One more thing I wanted to add: I have VoiceAttack set to run as admin, yet whenever I run it, it still brings up that dialogue box asking if I want to allow it to make changes to my computer. Why is that? Thanks. v6, boNes

I seem to recall hearing that VAICOM PRo has problems if your profile name uses spaces in it instead of underscores. I also recall that it is recommended to start Vaicom Pro as administrator and waiting for it to load completely before you start Teamspeak or it might not work. Were either of these true, or still true now? v6, boNes

I tried watching a replay in 2.9 afterwards and it was still out of synch. I had some pretty good guns kills on targets and when I watched the replay, it was shooting too late and thus missing the targets. v6, boNes

If you are at a far enough range, the Phoenix is supposed to loft up as it is seeking less thinner air at higher altitudes to enhance its range and end game performance. I haven't noticed anything different or worse about the other thing you mentioned. v6, boNes

Thanks, it worked v6, boNes

Thanks, I already found that stuff, I just needed the Discord info so I can talk to someone about it. But since it was mentioned, please see my other post: Thanks! v6, boNes

Where is this found now? It seems every time I click links for it from Github it says it's an expired or obsolete link. Thanks. v6, boNes

Where do you find this auto-update function? Also I used the msi to install and then launched Voce Attack and it showed Vaicom Pro at 2.8.7. The manual says to then copy and paste the contents of the zip file's VAICOM PRO folder in to the new install's folder. But if Vaicom Pro already shows 2.8.7, do I need to still do that? Last, I opened Voice Attack and one of the messages that I got when I started was that there were "multiple instances of plugins found. Only one instance will be used: VAICOM PRO Community Edition for DCS World." Is that how it's supposed to be? I can only find one install of VAICOM Pro on my PC. Thanks! v6, boNes

Just want to mention It's a Heatblur mission, HB Bones Strike in the single missions or somesuch. v6, boNes

The huge indicated range to TACAN in the Hornet was a known bug, but I haven't experienced it lately. What wyou did was you tuned the TACAN and you got some ridiculous range from it, then you turn off the TACAN and turn it back on and the range was then correct. @Victory205: I do think terrain masks TACAN. I've experienced it in the NNTR map for one--ducking behind a mountain and I'd lose the TACAN and it would come back when I crested it. It think I saw it happen in the other maps too. v6, boNes

That's a good question. I would say when they get to their target area that you hang back so as to deconflict with them, but anchor somewhere nearby to monitor if any fighters are coming for them. What good is being near them to protect them from fighters if there are no fighters at that time, and you certainly can't defend them from SAMs/AAA/MANPADs unless you want to Wild Weasel them. But this takes alot of vigilance and keeping track of where they are, especially since we are on Link4A which isn't as detailed as LINK16. So I would say stay nearby, say at the IP or at the exfil point and only go after targets that pose a significant threat to them, say hot or flanking and before they get to MRM range. v6, boNes

HEre is the stock Caucasus weapons practice mission. The CCIP skewed to the left after the turn. In case it was wind, I turned 180 deg and flew back but the CCIP was still skewed left (should be right since I'm flying back) albeit it wasn't as skewed as it was before. v6, boNes LastMissionTrack.trk

The mission I was flying off the boat shows wind is 7 m.s on the ground and 0 m.s everywhere else. v6, boNes

Here's another video: This was to show that it happens from the very start, even while I'm still on deck. If it was due to the wind, I don't know why that would be since we should be sailing into the wind. After launch, the CCIP goes straight again, and then after a turn, it's skewed again.

No, I was flying BluFor, and it was from the very start of the mission. I've ol;y started experiencing this bug a few days ago, and I've been flying the Hornet regularly. v6, boNes

Razor asked: I went back and checked the footage and my knob was in IFA. I was going to post this reply in my post but someone merged my thread to an older bug thread to which there are no more comments allowed. So I'm posting again here because I think it is important to note that the knob was in IFA. There not being any more comments allowed in the other thread--what does it mean for a solution then? It sounds like a long standing bug, and so it's been unsolved for a long time now? For how long? I've used CCIP before even recently as a couple days ago and I only started experiencing this now. Inthis video you can see the CCIP line is straight at the start, but once I turn, it goes off. I tried it under lower G in this video, but also in high g and both did the same. Note the knob in IFA and this is a stock mission, but I've also seen it happen in other missions with the knob in IFA v6, boNes LastMissionTrack.trk

Actually,i think it was. I have video footage, I'll go back and check. Thanks for the idea! v6, boNes

I had some 83XRT and CBU-99 loaded. I set up the parameters (CCIP, nose fuze etc etc) but after I did the CCIP bomb drop line in straight and level flight was not vertical straight down. It was skewed to the left at an angle. Did something go wrong? Did I pull too many Gs and mess the sensors up? v6, boNes

Yes, check your axes. I've had default DCS settings come up where roll was controlled by the throttle and so when I increased thrust the plane would roll. Changing it in Settings fixed it. v6, boNes

When you get enough time in the Tomcat, you tend to get a feel for what your speed and G is and no need to rely on Jester to tell you. But I agree that his clock code calls are useless. I would also like to know if he's chaffing. The logic as i know it is if he can see the missile, he will chaff. But I want to know if he is, can he just say "Chaffing?" Also, can he chaff anyway when there is a radar lock on us, not just when he sees the missile? v6, boNes

I've owned this for a couple of years now. The part that made me laugh the most (and those who play the F-14 in DCS will know why) is when the Tomcat driver was talking about his German Luftwaffe guest in the backseat of the Tomcat and how he messed with him. v6, boNes
