On that point, is there a key bind to toggle the pilot body on/off? If so, what might it be called (I could not find anything obvious)? Cheers

If this could be fixed it would be highly appreciated. I understand that the earlier modules take precedence, however this seems like it would not take much to fix, so we could use this module frustration free while the more involved work on the Mirage and Harrier continues. As it stands none of the Razbam modules are enjoyable at the moment. The Mirage campaign and training is hampered by the changes of last year (welcome changes, I totally agree), the Harrier has no campaign (because it needs to be finished before the campaign can be made). I bought the Mig-19 specifically because it includes Baltic Dragon content (best thing about DCS) and because it was essentially finished. I actually had little interest in the 19 before, but I wanted to support BD and any company smart enough to employ him. At the moment however, it seems none of my Razbam modules can be enjoyed as they were meant to be - and this 'moment' is actually months and months long. Quite frustrating (and definitely affecting my future purchasing decisions).

Awesome. Many thanks!

Thanks for these! :thumbup: This fun little bird needs a lot more missions/campaign.

Great little plane! Really needs a cool COIN campaign. :flowers:

Still a horrible mess. I'm starting to really like the huey, but this particular mission is hateful. The Huey could be one of the jewels in the DCS crown alonside the A-10C if a few things are fixed - especially multi-crew and the lighting. But seriously, this mission hasn't worked for years, apparently. It was contrived feeling from the start, so if it can't be made to work, at least just remove it from the campaign altogether. Better to have one less mission than keep it as a frustration inducing detriment to the module and the game.

Great. Thanks to you both for the updates. I can just wing it with the campaign for now. Cheers

Does anyone know which training missions are affected or won't work properly because of the changes from the past year? Thinking about diving into the Mirage again, but desperately need to refresh my knowledge. The campaigns work fine for the most part, yes? Cheers (Happy New Year to those celebrating this weekend :holiday:!)

Thanks for the great review! Helps with a lot of my questions. Much appreciated.

I'd love to hear your view on the upgrade, so please share when it arrives.

I'm in the boring as f... camp. (not the Viggen specifically, but start-up in general) Also, the startup sequence on some aircraft involves reaching for buttons on the sides and often laterally behind the pilot. I find these can be a real pain in the butt to look at and reach with track IR /mouse sometimes, twisting your head in goofy positions, zooming in and out. I don't enjoy the button hunt. Once up and flying, 95% of everything you need is on the hotas or right in front of you, easy to see and reach. Again, I'm not picking on the Viggen here (and I don't mind the cassette insert etc) but talking about DCS in general. If I were pushing buttons in a real cockpit I think it would be significantly easier than using track IR and trying to twist dials with my mouse buttons. It's a little thing, but one more reason to have auto-startup on every module. I wouldn't avoid the Viggen because there's no auto-start yet implemented. But there is no reason not to include it eventually. Make sure your sim appeals to the broadest possible audience -> keep it viable and (in theory) cheaper. It's win-win. If anyone says auto-start shouldn't be allowed they are only shooting themselves in the foot. :inv:

+1 With so much BD content to look forwards to, 2020 is looking like Year of the Dragon.

Thanks, I'll have a look.

Seriously! BD is a huge asset to this game. ED should have hired him a long time ago and have him creating content for their game full time. It boggles my mind that they have not done this. :huh: Very smart move by RAZBAM to get him onboard. Thanks for the update. It actually helps a great deal with planning my DCS learning over the next months. :thumbup:

Great! Thanks for that vid. I will grab it and add it to my library of DCS tutorials (which I think is larger than my DCS install at this point :pilotfly:). I have decided to refresh and expand my Viggen knowledge in anticipation of the campaign release. Hope it's a good one.

Ah, that explains it. I haven't messed with that yet. I'll have to try it out this weekend. Thanks to you both for clearing that up.

The Viggen module always recreates a directory in my Saved Games directory called DCS_AJS37, but it always remains empty. Is this used for anything? Can I put it to use in anyway? :huh: Cheers

Just an update - rrohde and UIV got me set up with a replacement and everything is working swimmingly now. Thanks gentlemen. :thumbup: (apologies for all the off-topic, non-Kosmo posts)

I'm not going to air this on the public forum, but this is totally inaccurate. Clearly there has been a mistake or miscommunication somewhere in the support structure on this particular issue.

Thanks AeroGator, I look forward to hearing from you. Just to clarify for anyone else reading this, when I discovered the problem I first contacted rrohde, the North American dealer for VKB products. He replied immediately - on a weekend - and instantly set up a support ticket. Much later, when I probed the support ticket thread for activity, again rrohde immediately replied to my message. As far as a dealer, rrohde is a joy to deal with and provides the best support that he is able to, given the structure of VKB's sales & support in North America. No one should have any reservations about doing business with him.

From Andre? I think you can use the same tracking number in the USPS system - mine worked that way. Have you tried that? Mine arrived this week (ordered Feb something) and there was no holdup in customs whatsoever.

I can resend the private messages about this which I sent to you March 9, 2019, here on the DCS Forums, if that will be of any help. Cheers

Is there another place I should be contacting VKB for service? I have a ticket which has been outstanding for 92 days and haven't had any acknowledgment that anyone besides rrohde (who has been exceedingly responsive but doesn't handle service) has seen it. I haven't received any reply to the pm's I've sent to AeroGato or UIV here on the VKB subforums. Thanks for any guidance.
