strange - also have other liveries in my savedgame and they seem to work ok - out of interest where exactly are you saving your F16 liveries? (in my saved games have a Liveries \"F-16C" folder? (note can see in the editor there are also 3 or 4 variations of C - but I only have one C liveries folder for the F16)

just gave this a try - how can you trim it? - is it simply like an aircraft up/down/left/right or is there another way like the pull and release on the MH60?

Started playing DCS again recently (with modules such as F18 and also some mods like the MH60). 1)Found even though I have mini HUD checked in the main menu its not appearing in either the paid modules or in the MH60 - is there a hot key to cycle it is there something wrong with my install? 2)Have a key assigned to the comms menu think its the default "\" but it does not bring anything up in the mods or paid modules? any assistance appreciated.....

USA - but I can see it now after a few restarts - strangely only seemed to get picked up when I put it in the main F16 folder not with the saved games livery folder....

have no tech folder in my mods (only an aircraft one) assume I just create and drop the "sam" folder in and it should work?

seem to be having problems with the wolfpack livery(below link) - pasted into my saved game liveries folder (created a F-16C folder) and also tried into in the actual main F16 folder livery section and its not showing in the mission editor - just wondering what I could be doing wrong? https://lee1hy.gumroad.com/p/final-ver-8th-fw-wolfpack-f-16c

1)Thanks going to give joypro a try...... 2)Also more generally struggling to understand how the bindings process works in DCS! - created a binding for my Virpil stick and then I proceed to save the profile (note I make sure I have the column for the Virpil stick highlighted when I do this) - however next time I play DCS I seem to loose all the bindings I had just created and even more bizarrely when I then go to load up the profile I had just created it does not seem to have captured all the binding I just created - what am I doing wrong here or is the binding function broken for DCS?

thanks for the replies. 1)have managed to find them in the module manager in the installed section - to delete do you need to just move the slider from green to grey or do you need to use what looks like the trash can at the end? 2)seem to have disabled all the planes - but I can't find syria or the channel in the installed section - where can I find these 2?

strange - I could not find any supercarrier heading or missions under F14? can you post a screenshot of what I should see and will check again

thanks for the reply - yes its possible sometime a ago during a trial I may have selected them - so really to sort the problem just need to "uninstall" all the planes I get the error for from within the sim? note also I checked these 3 aircraft A10A, SU27 and Mig29 and they are "for sale" in the dcs shop but it says if you own FC3 the same aircraft are included so no need to buy them - so presuming I will already have these aircraft - so is there any point in buying them "again" - would you gain anything such as extra missions or do I already have everything as part of FC3?

Have a few controllers that I want to setup for DCS (including a VirPil stick, rudder pedals and a throttle)- just wondering 1)the best way to set them up (or if someone can direct me to a guide?) - assuming its best to setup each controller for each individual aircraft and save the profile or is there a generic setup you can use for all aircraft?(if yes how would you set this up) 2)also when I am in say the Virpil stick setup section for the F18 when I complete the assignment and save the profile is this just saving the profile for the stick or all controllers for the F18 sim section? and does the sim always use(load up) this profile when your flying the F18 or do you need to load it up every new game? any help appreciated......

I own many of the current DCS modules as well as the older ones like FC3 - however everytime I start the game now have been getting numerous requests to enter a valid serial number for some of the modules this includes the A10A, F15C, SU25 and SU27 - I then get an "authorization failed" and "authorization is valid for 2d and the following DLC's are not authorized" messages then it list some planes including the A10A F15C and S27 as not being authorized (I actually thought these planes were either default aircraft or came with FC3 ?) - anyone any idea what's going on and how I can stop this check process?

thanks managed to find them - assume these have just been setup for the f18?

Have purchased and installed the supercarrier module (also have f18 and f14 and persian gulf modules) - however when I select any missions that require a carrier launch (instant action or training for example) don't seem to be getting any deck crew on the deck? just wondering what am I doing wrong or if there is a setting or particular mission that needs to be selected to see them?

1)I think when I set this up (last year or before) you could not have different graphic option files - think I might consolidate it all into one install then - what is best way to delete the "dated" install on my J drive - think this might have just been "copied (cut and pasted)" from my main install so not sure how or if it appears on my window add/remove programs - maybe I can just delete the folder? 2)Yes I can see each install has a DCS.exe - but If i try to run each separately will it not try and force an update to latest version before it loads up? 3)If the DCS app is loading up (by default) the version on my L drive assume this suggests the L drive version is the original/main install? 4)Final question! if I have saved some profiles for controllers(I have a few) on the version I will delete - where can I find them and can I just copy them across to my main DCS install?

thanks for the reply 1)emptied the recycle - but didn't help 2)so when you refer to the "_downloads" folder you mean the one in the DCS "install" folder? - so this can be emptied without any issues and should auto empty when I finish an update? 3)Also just realised what the problem might be -I created 2 version of DCS across 2 separate SSD's (one for VR one not for VR) - one of my version is on my J drive (this has plenty of space and also has a "run.exe" file in the root folder and the other version is on my L drive with limited space and no run.exe file in it- the L drive version seems the most recent). So when I type in "dcs beta" in my win search bar it brings up the dcs app (which seems to have files located on my C drive! and when I run it its not clear which version of DCS its connected to and trying to load/update but suspect its the version of the low space disk which might explain my problem ). 4)How can I tell which version the app is trying to load and which is the most up to date version? (note one of the version has a run.exe the other doesn't!)

thanks for the reply 1)by downloads folder does it mean the download folder in the install(J) directory - have a folder called _downloads/torrent which contains about 8gb of data - can this be deleted? or is it referring to the general download folder on the (C) drive? 2)what do you mean but windows bin? (is it the recycling folder or the bin folder in the install directory?)

Just trying to run the auto updater and I get the error message "Not enough disk space in the download folder - need 52,000mb when only 34,000Mb are available " Note have the DCS installed on my J drive and there are 72Gb free! - so just wonder whats going on? (also have 57Gb on my C drive in case its referencing that!) - so just wondering whats going on and why is it refusing to update? any help appreciated....

yes running with the latest version (forces to download before I run it) - why? is VR performance bad in it?

running the WMR option file reprojection (where you remove the \\) - but think will try it set to auto or off - see if it helps with the judders.... also I thought the steam reprojection option - even when set to on does nothing with a WMR headset? - assume you are changing the option in the steam vr menu?

Bought the Viper and got it running nicely in VR - however having a couple of issues setting everything up: 1)How do you enable the head mounted sight in VR for the Viper? 2)Also strangely have had some trouble setting and binding the controls (using the mongoose stick, warthog throttle and Saitek rudder) - firstly tried reseting each column - but there were some bindings that would not clear - then assigned functions such as NWS and weapon release and saved (as a lua file I think) - but strangely when I load another profile then try to load this original profile I created most of the buttons I assigned originally were not showing up in the saved profile! anyone any ideas how to fix this or can you direct me to a controller setup tutorial!? (maybe I need to save a profile for each controller or am I doing something wrong...….?)

Been running the v2 reverb with the Viper - tried it initially with no tweaks - and it was running good with a FPS of 75-90 - have now tried it with reprojection on (know its running as the fps locks to 45) - but strangely while the game is running overall smooth 1) if I move my head quickly while say in a menu and very occasionally in game (usually looking up and to the right) will sometimes get some judders - strangely this was not present while I had reprojection off? (the fps jumped around but no real judder) - any ideas how to solve? 2)Getting some really bad flickering on the load screens and also if I try and change the control settings ingame……..

thanks for the reply ok so you mean when I entered the f16-sim setup with the 2 controllers connected it autodetected and loaded the "default profiles" already? - as mentioned did notice a few things were assigned such as axis - but didn't think it was enough to fly with? can anyone point me to a guide that explains the F16 controller setup?

Just been trying to setup the viper module and I read somewhere there were already some default controller profiles for some of the controllers (I am using the warthog throttle and virpil mongoose stick) How can I load then up (location and name of file would be useful) or should they auto load when I connect the device? - note seem to remember when I loaded the game for the first time there appeared to be some random functions assigned...……...any help in setting up appreciated

zoomer thanks for your reply - but still a bit confused about how it all fits together and particularly when you say "Just to clarify, the WMR software can also be launched via steam, and is the MR portal house" note I have 3 bits of software installed the 1)mixed reality portal (or house) which I don't think is installed via steam and then 2)WMR for steam VR (installed on steam) and 3)Steam VR (installed on steam): Essentially when I load up (via desktop shortcut) (1) (the portal) my headset also fires up and I can explore my desktop in VR using this app as well as launch DCS from inside VR...…..where I have the issue is the WMR for Steam VR app installed via steam (2) - this does not load up when my PC is on - in fact when I click on it within steam I can see a big green "launch" button (note at this point my steam VR is not running) - however the only thing the launch button does (for WMR) when I click on it - is launch the separate steam VR app (3) on steam!(steam VR now appears in green) - note when I launch WMR with steam VR already running it says "WMR will launch into an environment in your HMD as well as on the desktop - performance my not be acceptable in this mode - to launch the game on your desktop please exit steamVR before launching the game" and when I hit ok I get a strange error "an error occurred while updating steamVR (app running) 14644"- would appreciate some clarification on how the WMR app needs to be used when running something like DCS or X planes11 - to date have only been running steam VR before entering the game and not trying to do anything with WMR for steam VR (note I always have the portal running in the background)...….
