  1. I findi I have a problem flying VR and using the mouse to activate the AI menu for the F-14, F-15, AH-64, Petrovitch. It would be nice if I could speak to the AI and select the menu options, it would make flying solo much easier.
  2. I finally updated to Windows 11. When I try to run DCS, the program loads and gets to the picture of all the airplanes. When the picture disappears, nothing happens. It's like it just stopped. Any one have a fix for this? I run both the "Good" DCS and Open Beta. I uninstalled OpenBeta and reinstalled it. Now Openbeta will keep asking me if I want to copy all mods from the normal version but stops after copying.
  3. With all the heated up situation in the middle east, It would be nice to have a map to recreate and make up new missions into those areas.
  4. With all the era jets we have, a south east asia map would be great!!!!
  5. Has anyone else found this to happen in Open Beta? When I start a mission airborne and adjust the throttles, they advance correctly but then after about 5 minutes, they retard back about 15%. I'll push them back up to 95% and with all the instruments looking normal, they will retard again after about 2 minutes. I push them back up. This keeps going on. I tried the same mission on the normal server and it did not happen.
  6. Buying Warning is a glitch. If you own the original Normandy , when you buy Normandy 2 you get a warning message that you already own the License. When you look at the ad for buying it, under it, it will say you already have a license for this product. This is a glitch in the ED software, according to Ed, It doesn't check anything in the title past Normandy. If you haven't bought it yet and want to buy it, Go ahead.
  7. It ends up that the reason is formations. with a 4 ship, you have the 2nd digit as 1-4 so a single ship can't be 5 as in Colt 45. Back in the 70s, we did things a little differently than they do now. My call sign was my position in the Squadron (45 th pilot) and our Squadron call sign was Colt. At the time we were rather unique. Most ATC Bases didn't have their own call sign. When I was in SAC, they didn't have their own call sign.
  8. Not very good wing man to do that. I flew T-38s in the USAF German Pilot Training and we flew a lot of formation both 2 ship and 4 ship and you never use AB to get back into position. The speeds I'm using are 430 to 500 kts thru out the whole flight.
  9. Lately, I've put a wing man out there for grins. About 1/2 way thru the mission, he is calling Bingo fuel even though my fuel is about above 1/2. I don't go bingo for another 2 to 3 targets and way points. He has the same ordinance I have and same fuel, so why is he calling Bingo so much earlier than my plane does. Some times I can't get to my first target without crying Bingo. What a wimp.
  10. I went to Razbam's website today and saw they have a lot of airplanes on there. It didn't say what they were compatible with. Does anyone know if they can be used with DCS as a Mod? I would love to have their F-9 as my uncle flew that after WW2. I would also like the A-1. That was an airplane I wanted to get out of USAF Pilot Training back in 1971 but assignments said we had they weren't giving out assignments as we were getting out of the War. Course it took about 5 more years to do that. LOL
  11. Tried it. Didn't have it turned on but I turned it on and off. When I inserted a F-14B into the scenario, I could only add a Aim-54 Mk60 or an Aim 7. It would have been nice to add those as they give me more scenarios to create. Thanks for trying.
  12. Thanks, that was just what I was looking for. - Scott
  13. I'm not sure why I'm having problems installing the mod, or other mods for weapons for the F-14B. I watched a Youtube explanation of how to install. I have windows 10. I saved coremod to my desktop so I can delete the affected one and reinstall it back to original. I tried using my OvGME loader that works with all my other mods. After enabling it. (only mod enabled) I went to the Mission Editor and it did not show up in the weapon's select window. I would then sign out of DCS and disable the mod. I then enabled the Harm mod, launched DCS and checked it again in the Mission editor. Still the best I got was the Aim 54. (4 version of it.) My OvGME works well with all my other mods. These mods are set up to use with OvGME. Any suggestions? I would like to play with it.
  14. I'm new to triggers but have had a great success with them. The only thing I would like added is a delay function. For example is use a lot "when something has happened" do "Effect Smoke"; Do "Explode Unit." What I would like is a delay between the two. For Example, I would lay "Delay" then pick how many seconds to delay. If it is there, I may be miss reading it as I didn't find it. Thanks CaptScotty
  15. I'm new to triggers, but what I do is set zones when I want things to happen. They are the "Flag" to happen. The try using "or" between flags or set up a separate trigger for each missile. Instead of "scenery explode", just use "Explode" I've used that and it works well in similar situations.
  16. I asked if it was a bug that you can't get a higher number for a call sign. Back in 1975, I had the Call sign of Colt 45. I couldn't get that in the mission editor. Mike told me that because the 1s digit is for the position in a formation, I would not be able to get Colt 45. I normally mission edit single ship missions, so I can only get Colt 41. If I were #4 in a formation, I could get Colt 44. Since there are only 4 ships in a mission cell, it would never be higher than Colt 44.
  17. I tried my first mission where I was flying with george was to be gunner. Not special. I had a bunch of yatches in different. Harbors. I put him on attack at will mode. I would say attaching but nothing was fired. Is any one else having this problem?
  18. You said in a error msg that you can set the AH-64 menu where you want it.  How do we do that. Mine is like everyone else.  It shows up high center. I want it down low to the left and to the right. I have an oculus quest 2.  The graphics are great in the AH-64.  A little frame stuttering but I know that will improve.

      Hi CaptScotty,

      If you mean the George menu, I believe that ED will change something in the next update (hopefully)

      Meanwhile, here is how to change the place of the George menu by yourself. Just play with the values in this file to change the position

      https://forum.dcs.world/topic/295567-george-way-too-high-in-vr-hp-g2/?do=findComment&comment=4931020

  19. Mine is the same. When Compared to Wagg's Youtube instructions, Mine HADSS is 10 to 20 Degrees higher. Also My George AI wheels do not appear in the corners but are above the HADSS Display making it hard to read and use. Corners would be great compared to Way high in the windshield. I use an Oculus Quest 2.
  20. Mine does the same in VR on an Oculus Quest 2
  21. Since last update, when I am getting ready to Pilot Salute, I push throttle full forward and the F-18 Throttle goes full forward and then pulls back to out of burner. My throttle is still full burner. If I pull it back a little it will jump to full burner for a sec and back again. Checked and I don't have burner detent selected.
  22. Since last update, every time I start a mission I create over a turn point, or fly over point, the gear is extended. I'm at 6000+ feet 240 kias Gear down for some reason. Never had this happen before.
  23. For those using VR, stay away from Windows 11. I switched back to Windows 10 and now I have great graphics!
  24. Any one else having the problem of the A10 C II starts loosing power about 1/2 way thru the mission. I've flown the plane alot. Not till recently have I had the power slowly decay to the point I can't maintain 200 KIAS in Level flight. I pull it back and push it up and it goes to 100% for about 5 secs and then drops to about 80%. I've got the plane loaded heavily but I have never had this problem before. This is on mission I have made up before and it has started doing it. I don't use Auto Throttles, just full power.
  25. I had to redo my computer. When I set up DCS again, I loaded Skins for the aircraft I have. I noticed the F-16 had places for bombs in the mission editor but no pylons showed up. Anyone else having that problem? I haven't had a chance to fly the F-16 and see if it is missing from the aircraft as well as the mission editor.
