Hi All, Just to let you know a minor Hotfix on the 22.07.24 didnt fix this, still reverts to the unusable black gloves with 90 odd degree Laser controls so I copied pasted my previous content to roll back for now, Will await further hot fixes. @bignewy I appriciate this might take some time to properly fix. Only way I found to fix the Steam version for me was to roll back (this wont work woth telling the updater to roll back like the store version to previous release), then go to Steam Console, also look up Steam Console downloader, input Appid - Depot ID and Manifest ID for previous release, hit download or this will download anyway from Steam., reinstall it, I ended up combining my previous version from Steam by also combining Store version for now with Steam. I can use FC24 with the combined version i bought (I bought the original FC3 off of store and FC24 off of Steam), What a lot of Faffing Would be better if we could somehow block (lock in) the Steam updates from heppening until an unbroken version came along. I know that DCS (ED) will eventually fix all though. To cheer yourselves up for now, please watch any Grim Reapers stuff, i foud thier extreme landing competition made me lol., Being half German i so got the comments. I hope this helps if you need me to post an upload of my fixed content (you will still have to sign in of course) I can do that on a google drive but its 181 GB of content so going to take a while, until I get rid of my over priced ISP Vermin (Virgin) media and go with Syncronous 900 GBPS FTTP provider toob.. Any one heard of toob? i think tjhey are supposed to be good., Sorry to go off tangent. Enjoy DCS if you can, this will be fixed eventually. Best Baron

To roll back Steam version (this is the only way I know how to fix this, bring back the Olive Grey VR Gloves that work) - Step 1 ... search for Steam Console GUI Downloader. Install the EXE file, or I think theres a web based version of this, Step 2... Use these values for the previous download (the one that works), 223751_758395393767243837 APP ID = 223750 Depot ID = 223751 Manifest ID = 758395393767243837 Select a save location mine took about one hour 30 mins to download despite being on a fast 1GB PS Download broadband connection. Once you have these files, delete your original DCS Steam installation then copy / paste these in same place/ (originals in C:\Program Files x86\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSworld, (yours might be different)? This will restore the previous version., I couldnt get my original FC3 installation registered until I merged the older copy because I bought mine from the original DCS site. but yours if bought from Steam should go in OK. I find using this version messes up the loading a little i.e. it jerks around and slow to load in, but at least its playable in the end. This should be fixed. as ED rep. said when the patch comes in a few days fingerts xxxed. TY for the best Mil Sim ever. Shame it breaks every few patches, but worth it in the end.

Hi All, After a bit of fiddling and rolling back in Steam via the Steam Downlooad console I have managed to get my Green Grey Gloves back, running a slightly older version. this doesnt allow me to use my purchased in Steam Flaming Cliffs 2024 however Almost there, I'm sure the ED Team will release a fix soon then I can roll forwards to use my DLC as well. In reply to the above, I cant get DCS to load in smoothly now, this definately loads in smoother in the latest version, but then I get the manky gloves (black ones with almost 90 degree off) lasers pointers. I'm going to try swapping out a section of old and new for now, if this works, should provide a kind of fix before the new versions hot fix comes out ?

Halp Same problem Sorry to say but I think (in the theory of things) that my Pilot got caught in some bar in the dodgy part of Georgia and tortured, hence lost his nice., olive drab and grey gloves that pointed the right way. after the torture (plus some dodgy Vodkas) - he can only do a 90 degree hand. Phew in one way I'm pleased I'm sure there will be alots of background noise on this one, but in another, I just want my nice hands back Please fix it ED. I did play nice and buy the full FC3 2024 (in Steam), because I only had the non steam and it wasnt registering like before when i made the melted together version (Old and Steam), this seems to no longer work with the new launcher either. I used to have hands / gloves as below. see SS (Quest three BTW). Might be worth trying an open beta registration version in Steam to play one version before if Possible? not sure if can roll back. I will do a little research on it. Please fix it ED.

I noticed this onel I made a huge mistake not buying DCS DLC on STEAM Bought the DLC FC3 on old Website only because I thought ED deserved more £££ for the content, but a few years later. this has come back to bite me, so ended up buying FC3 (well 2o24) again on Steam for £49.00. but its amazing contenct I have flew a few fully detailed models on trial as well they deserve the hard earned money. I also fly a lot of the free mods from various websites with FC3 cockpits (VSN Planes etc), wonder if these work with the update? I have a issue only have Black Gloves now, when flying in VR i had nice Green and grey ones before - the Black ones aren;t straight only grip sort of on the side of the Stick and Throttle. Wonder if I can get these back?

Hi, I made the following short video of a carrier launch and flight, landing I love this sim. Any comments welcome I made the voice response and auto launch routing. auto landing configs, https://youtu.be/HMic6BY1t3s Baron210 Portsmouth, UK.

Hi Sorry to ask, I'm using (I hope you don't all hiss at me use DCS too) Using MS FS2020 and VRK VRk windows not popping up in MS flight sim, have it all set up, basically, I was wondering can I user this in VR (Oculus rift S) with MS FS 2020 in standalone without a knee pad device??? Just to really project kneeboards? I think MS might be putting one in soon anyhow? but I like the concept how could I do this please? just to display PFD and chart text files in sim. (Edited i just found that oculus panel in Dev mode can make you a importable window for any file, so I will try oculus Dash - Didnt realise that) Loving DCS though. Might persist with this in STEAM VR couldnt get it so show in Open / Oculus VR.

Yes My fears were confirmed, I upgraded to the very latest version, this reverts your lovely aircraft to being unusable,, rolling back a version did it for me, I have my Cockpit back. To Roll back,, You have to open a run command Type (in Windows ten). search bar CMD (then hit run as administrator). CD Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bin Type DCS_Updater DCS 2.5.6.49798 It will restore your version (make sure you closed DCS World properly). I dare say maybe this could be patched???? Thank you again for the VSN aircraft.

I have fouind whereas I got the cockpit views for the VSN Aircraft mods a few days ago, the game updated and i have lost these againl, tried reinstalling, but it only displays aircraft now in (test missions) in Outside "Third person" views, i do have FC3 and have the folder structures correct with Bin and FM in the correct order for each model to use the F15 cockpit,. I'm wondering if the update has blocked it??? I'm using game version 2.5.6. hope thats enough info, on the plus side, VR mode is great, have flown a lot with the Rift S.,. and have Voice controls set up in "Voice Attack" for a lot of functions works well. THank you for the mods, at the moment external only. Sorry version 52437 (patch). released a couple of days agol, is there any way to roll it back ??? Maybe- hold the fort, I found the way to retro grade the version, going to be interesting to find out if this fixed it???

Re Unable to click on DCS buttons in VR Thank you for this, explains a lot, Love DCS in VR, its so real as it gets.

Hi , New user, Marty Mc Fly reporting for duty. Might be classed as " lieutenant Cannon Fodder"? I must say, loving DCS in VR mode. It gives the Simulation a whole new feel and flavour. Thanks for being here, Just quickly a comment, I was trying to make " MOD planes " work within DCS, after the free month my PC crashed badly, so I had to install the O/S again, and ordered a couple of parts to replace the failed one (s), I could not get the free VSN Mod planes to run for love or money it seemed , despite owning and installing Flaming Cliffs 3, Turns out all I had omitted is installing the " Bin, and FM folders from the main Directory of FC 3 to each Aircraft folder in User name, saved games ( DCS). So an easy error learned by reading these forums, working perfectly now, so thank you all. Best for now, Baron 210 Near Portsmouth ( Ex RN technician on the QE Carrier battle group). Everything else is classified. :) :) :)
