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.

Yes, I love this thing. I patched and glued that damn Natural Point piece of rubbish for too many years. So happy I found this a year or two ago. It's fairly bomb-proof, reasonably light and just works so much better. After we move this summer I will order a second one as a backup. Right now I have the smallest battery because I wanted the lightest model. So far I have never run out of juice mid-game. So just need to decide if I should get a second light one, or go with the max battery option for the backup. Either way, I recommend this device without any hesitation or caveat.

This is awesome. Everyone with TrackIR should ditch the crappy clip thing and get one of these.

This, in my opinion, has turned into a major failing of DCS- every module has to have it's training missions and default campaign set in the freakin' Caucasus, whether it makes any sense or not. It's feels quite silly to fly the F-14 around Georgia, especially when Nevada is there for the using. I understand that many people don't want buy the maps. I'm not saying they should. But there has to be a better way to do this. Campaign makers will continue to set all their campaigns in Georgia in order to make sure they have the widest customer base possible. And people will not buy other maps because there is nothing to do there. I wish they could make the maps available for the training missions only, but if you want to use it with the mission editor or in multi-player you can buy the map. Make two prices for campaigns, cheaper if you own the map on which it is set, and more expensive if you don't own the map, but you can use the map to play that particular campaign. This will give campaign creators and players more options and help pay for the maps, recouping some revenue for map development from people from whom they currently recoup zero. Flanker, A-10, Black Shark and now DCS have been in Georgia for far too long. And it isn't going to change any time soon because so many people refuse to buy the maps.

The F-18 and F-16 are on my no-buy list until the Huey gets some love; similar to the Mig-19 until the Harrier is working smoothly.

Awesome. I've been waiting for this before I even bothered to start learning the Tomcat. One thing I've noticed is that sometimes when giving a command, the Jester wheel flashes up on screen and then immediately disappears.

Yes, I'm experiencing the same exact thing, under the same circumstances regarding AIRIO extension. Although in my case I can't find the controls listed to re-map: eg. is only one axis available for thrust. Edit: Hollywood_315 is on the case.

Then just create it yourself. Make a txt file, rename it pluginsEnabled.lua , and save it in documents/saved game/dcs/config/. Then paste in the names of the modules whose icons you wish to hide. The module names can be found in DCS/DemoMods/aircraft/xxx/entry.lua. pluginsEnabled = { ["Flaming Cliffs by Eagle Dynamics"] = false, ["F/A-18C"] = false, ["F-86F Sabre by Belsimtek"] = false, } -- end of pluginsEnabled

Sooooooo much to learn for this bird. :book: Awesome! Thanks Victory205. Having you active in these forums is frankly amazing.

My pleasure. Those BUY BUY BUY icons used to drive me crazy. You will have to manually add each new module when they are released.

Great stuff. Congrats on a superb addition to the combat flight sim world. You guys deserve success ... and a good rest. Shame the support rush has to start so quickly. But we appreciate it.

Here's the link for the photo I used. For the icons: - go to saved game/dcs/config/ (or the openbeta equivalent folder), find pluginsEnabled.lua - open it with notepad++ or another text editor - add those modules you dont want to see into that lua file For example: pluginsEnabled = { ["A-10C Warthog by Eagle Dynamics"] = true, ["Flaming Cliffs by Eagle Dynamics"] = false, ["F/A-18C"] = false, ["MiG-15bis by Belsimtek"] = true, ["F-86F Sabre by Belsimtek"] = false, } -- end of pluginsEnabled (the module name can be found in DCS/DemoMods/aircraft/xxx/entry.lua
