Hi I had previously run a dcs repair (modified files) but reran a full repair. No change. I ran in Debug and Checked the Log file under VA/Apps\Vaicom\Logs and looking through there seems to be an error connecting to the DCS Radio system. I can post the full Log but these entries seem to be pertinenent. Access to the path 'F:\DCS World\Scripts\UI\RadioCommandDialogPanel\RadioCommandDialogsPanel.lua' is denied. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.File.InternalDelete(String path, Boolean checkHost) at System.IO.File.Delete(String path) at VAICOM.FileManager.FileHandler.Lua.LuaFiles_Install(Boolean restore, Boolean forcequiet) DCS World installation found: version 2.5 OpenBeta Using Registry entry for 2.5 OpenBeta Install path = F:\DCS World OpenBeta Saved Games folder = C:\Backup\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta Unchanged: Export.lua Reset: VAICOMPRO.export.lua Auto-install could not complete for DCS version 2.5 OpenBeta Access to the path 'F:\DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\UI\RadioCommandDialogPanel\RadioCommandDialogsPanel.lua' is denied. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.File.InternalDelete(String path, Boolean checkHost) at System.IO.File.Delete(String path) at VAICOM.FileManager.FileHandler.Lua.LuaFiles_Install(Boolean restore, Boolean forcequiet)

Hi there. I updated DCS yesterday and have had a VIACOM issue since. Basically as soon as I start a mission the COMMS menu appears / disappears /reappears constantly. Also the VIACOM Config program does not show the Aircraft. I noted this has been raised previously in the thread and have tried the following fixes. Deleted Export.LUA from my "Saved Games\DCS Open Beta\Scripts folder" and restarted VA/DCS Entered and SET a custom path / Fix Reg option on the VIACOM Config tool (as per Hollywood Vid). Neither have worked. Any ideas?

Not sure about reference materials etc but I know PeterP made a lua mod some years back - maybe this will help. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=96116

Thxs guys. Will have to practise more ..just wanted to check i wasnt fighting a bug.

I know i was being flippant... the point is anything but auto.send it rocketing unless i quickly cycle the flaps post take off. . Ive watched CWL but i also watched Lex who said it was a bit heavy ...it just seems to introduce a massive and drastic departure compared to other aircraft

Hi All Been back on DCS trying out the hornet again recently. Is it just me or ia the flight model way out for flaps? Adding flaps during a landing circuit at 225 or even sub 200 sends the plane rocketing up into a ridiculous climb....hard to get it trimmed out again. Similar on some full flap take offs .After reset trim!

When are we going to get the new clouds?

Thanks Zues, that makes sense. Great job BTW

S530 Range Is the range correct for the 530? circa 10nm? I know its a medium range missile but it seem very short range to me! or im I missing something?

Cheers mate. I had done a search but didn't think to look in that forum DOH!

Dcs 1.5 multi monitor Hi I'm just enquiring before I send possible bug report. I am running dcs with multi monitors primarily for A10c MFD export but also exporting the FC3 F15 VSD. All the monitor lua is setup fine and all works fine in none beta. However in the 1.5 beta the A10 export works fine but the FC3 F15 VSD doesn't display. On start up of f15 electrics I get the VSD appearing briefly on the external monitor then it fades to a white screen. Is this a bug? Has anyone else had this?

Its calculated from your current position / straight line. Very useful for coordinating attacks if combined with Mark points etc. I made a TTP for my squadron sometime ago and it works a treat.

Yeah I had read that one. In fact it was one of the reasons for my questions :) The thread just doesn't seem to be conclusive and I just wondered if there was a definitive way of using HOT and definitive proof it was working / worth while. So far I see little difference and it seems to be of little use and adding complexity in most cases. I also noted that on the 476th weapon school on YT I.e using battle books sleds. They all show DTC.

Anyone? I can target elevation from TGP/LASER but what should be entered in the HOT function? Does it make much difference? How in accurate I'd DTS?

How do you derive or enter HOT elevation? I know you can use the UFC Data rocker etc but this only gives DTS or a manually entered number? If it is the later how do you calculate the correct HOT target elevation?

How do you mix the separate sounds sources back into headphones?

Thanks Wolf. I do that sometimes but just wondered if I was missing a trick. Guess not, would be good to implement along with in game mouse (cockpit) sensitivity too.

Is it possible to have completely independent mouse control from track IR view? What i mean is that at the moment you can move the mouse independently until you hover over a control then if you move your track IR view slightly it moves the cursor. Is there a way to stop this?

Thanks Mustang , that's great news :thumbup:

Can anyone confirm if the changes to high.lua such as described in various mod posts are still applicable in 1.2.7? For example the changes to increase noise / village rendering distances I.e http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=71383

Is this still applicable in 1.2.7?

Is there a recording of yesterday's session available?

Can I tentatively book please - Although my solo AAR is pretty good I need a lot more online time ahead of this to practise some of the fundamentals such as real radio brevity , standard online procedures etc.:thumbup:

Thanks for confirming emer. I will check and see what in doing wrong.

:thumbup: Spoke I'm up for practise anytime (GMT) if you want to go over the lesson, brevity etc - PM me and we can arrange if like. If anyone else wants to meet up then PM me any time. I really need the practise as this experience proved flying online with real people is so different to SP and I've got so much learn. Any help welcome.:smilewink:
