1.5.7 PRMG beacons are kind of porked. It is not the aircraft avionics. I've been able to fix a few of them but some will not work at all. I am guessing there might be a terrain issue that blocks the signal. You may also note that the airfields with more than one PRMG share the same frequencies and Identifiers. That is incomplete coding bugs there. Very interesting to read that ILS beacons are messed up too as well as PRMG.

Helios works with the original modules as it was designed. Later modules are hacked versions of the originals and work, but you cannot use Helios as it was designed for cockpit building (for example, you can no longer drag and drop bindings to modules with no Helios interface). Ikarus is a simple install and they work almost flawlessly, once you figure out editing and what and how the profile auto load works. As for purchasing Arcaze controllers to work with Ikarus from the USA, good luck. The folks that sell them are not very good about answering emails. I know nothing about touchscreens. Good luck!

Hello, Any chance you were having ambient light issues? At certain sun angles the TIR can go crazy. TIR pause/un-pause is my most used button on the HOTAS. :)

What is still broken/missing on the L-39
JG14_Smil replied to GeorgeLKMT's topic in Bugs and Problems
Thank you for everything GeorgeLKMT! Nero.ger: I just tested this in the AO 1.5.7 server and I was denied entry, so it seems to work. I do note the requests won't work with the text chatbox open. -
What is still broken/missing on the L-39
JG14_Smil replied to GeorgeLKMT's topic in Bugs and Problems
I'll have to give it a test.. I usually don't click Deny All as people will start trolling me with it. What server were you on? There are L-39 mission editor options and they might have been set a certain way. -

Rear canopy bug has been fixed in all versions as of 2.1.1 and 1.5.7. -
Invalid Serial Number message after module DL.
JG14_Smil replied to Wingnutt270's topic in Installation Problems
Hello, Any chance you have more than one module and you are using the wrong serial? Oh. Steam... Never mind. -
Yes, 1.5.7 is much better than last update. If an update ruins your performance it is usually time to redo your shaders with the saved games folder rename trick. It might help, might not, who knows anymore. :)

Update 1.5.7.7473.311 massive Labels discrepancy with 4 monitors

Graphical User Interface. -
now that you mention it, the post is a bit odd... :p Please note, not everyone uses keyboards, so it is very subjective. Center view and zoom are two different things.

Hello, When you place the aircraft, you select "client" instead of "player" or an AI level. The pilot should enter first and the rear seat then joins him (while in MP).

Never mind... I checked and files are five months old. Answered my question. :)

Hello, Gear down @ 340kmph, Flaps @ 310kmph, full flaps @ 260 kmph. You need throttle at 80-85% and a VVI of -4 to -6. The slowest jet in DCS takes a long time to speed up and slow down. Better early than too late.

Didn't vote as none fit. 99% of the time I fly, I am practicing, just as I would when I flew to get the PPL, I learn to fly as per the manual and I attempt to learn aerobatics by the numbers (more to it than zooming around with smoke on). I can't fly SP and there is only one server that allows me to fly without a gun sight in my L-39, so that is my home base. I'm kind of retired from combat. :)

I'd be lost without the AO server. :) The connection is excellent and is not the cause of the long spikes, of which are 90% fewer than there used to be (for me). If you join a MP and it resets your controls is could be you are using simple or arcade controls and the server might require simulation controls, as it should.

Hallo Heinz, Has a the Bf-109K profile been updated with fixes at the GitHub site? Thanks,

PAPI or VASI light don't work
JG14_Smil replied to Skulleader's topic in Release Version Bugs and Problems (Read only)
Hello, Found references to these in this file: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Mods\terrains\Nevada\Models\AirfieldsLights\AirfieldsLights.ref.m5 Doesn't seem editable to me, but hopefully they will someday fix it. Don't hold your breath and your time sounds like it should be spent practicing landings instead. If you can't land without these crutches, you need to go back to ground school and that is a fact. good luck, -
Hello, I've done a lot of work on beacons lately and I've learned some things on how to fix errors while working on someone's beacon mod for the L-39. I am quite interested in your post as I was wondering if the latest errors I saw were also in the default ILS beacons. I was wanting to ask on the forum, but this is usually a waste of time. Groom Lake can be funny as it is high up in elevation and the slightest error in the height setting of the beacon can make it not work so well. Frequencies that are close together can interfere with each other. I've seen the errors you describe about Groom Lake before in my testing. Beta testers don't seem to test very deeply and a lot of this flies under the radar. If you would like to try re-producing and then testing fixes, please send me a PM. It is really not that hard.

1.5.7 is very good update. Let the fights begin...

Hello, I didn't know where else to ask this.. Does anyone have any point of contact with Simple Solutions, the German business that sells Arcaze cards and components? This spring I had an order all ready to go, but then property taxes came due and I put it off. Now, it appears much of their stock is sold out and while they were great in the past about replying to email, I get no responses at all now. Pit is dead in the water without LED's. It is a long shot, but I thought I would ask...

Have you tried a repair? -
Multi monitors, One display rotated - Please help
JG14_Smil replied to drwenck's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
DCS needs to start at 0, 0. First thing I would try is moving the flipped portrait to portrait and move it to the right side of the other monitors. viewport angles are the viewDx, viewDy settings. -
Hello, I just love having a life-sized setup to match the simpit. Even going to a single one of my 32" HDTV's is unflyable (IMHO). I think the only thing close is the 49" monitor that was posted about not long ago in the PC section. It would be nice to have a better refresh rate than my setup. I don't use the wide angle and have a PLP monitor setup (portrait, landscape, portrait). My pit sits in the dead spot below the center landscape monitor. I keep DCS on these three monitors only as I no longer export any viewports to my pit. There is no distortion from stretching and it runs very well, performance-wise. Probably not for everyone, though. I note someone posted to XX about a beautiful setup that runs with projectors. It had 1,240.00 US as price. I thought "XXXX yeah!" Then I noticed that someone said it was actually 1,240,000.00. I'll keep my setup until we figure out something better... best of luck to you.

How to find magnetic declination of a location?
JG14_Smil replied to imacken's topic in DCS: Spitfire L.F. Mk. IX
Hello, I can feel when I trim my plane during landing with my TFS seat. If you don't have tactile feedback in your seat, you are just sitting there. DCS uses true north. If you don't believe it fly in the NTTR where it is very clear. best wishes,
