Wheels / gear problem Thanks Darseeth, I tried all that today - deleted any functions in Game Tab - made sure Game Mode was off and then reset all keys in the F18 Sim Mode But no joy - Throttle works / Stick works - I can taxi and take off but just cannot get some other functions working.... Just to make sure I have it correct - I assume "Landing Gear Control Handle - UP means bring the wheels up as that is what I am using. Do you need to set another function prior to make this happen ... a lock release maybe ??? Wheels will not come up, Speed Brake will not work and wheel brakes do not work ...Tried some alternative buttons - but still no joy. And cannot even get the above functions to work with the standard default keyboard settings... Maybe I need to submit a ticket to DCS .... Would the repair thing work ??? Taffy

Hornet wheel/landing gear binding issues Thanks BIGNEWEY, I have tried those and tried to bind to buttons on joystick/throttle and button box with no success. Just seems a number of functions just will not bind (landing gear and wheel brake for instance).. I am not sure why - maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall the Hornet - can that be done ???? or is that to much effort It is really strange as I have no problems binding any function with the Spitfire and Huey - just the Hornet... Still confused Taffy

Hi Guys, Have just bought the Hornet and having a few problems with retracting the Landing Gear (and putting it down) - Have tried with a number of buttons on stick and throttle (cheap Thrustmaster HOTAS) and external button box and the keyboard (G) but nothing seems to work - am I doing something wrong here - am I missing something obvious here ??? Am operating in sim mode Could anyone just run through the key binding process for the landing gear for me to make sure I know what I am doing as other actions seem to work OK. Being ex RAAF love the Hornet Thanks in advance....Taffy

FIXED. Hi Guys, Bit of a problem today - I opened DCS in VR which was fine, then in settings unticked the VR option and it crashed.... Now when I open DCS it opens directly into the hanger in VR and there is no menu screen - so cannot go any further... have repeated this a number of times and still the same. tried the cleanup and repair options - went through all OK but still same problem when I open (hanger but no menus) Been just great up to today - any help gratefully taken... Taffy Fixed the problem ( found a solution in the VR section)..... deleted the options.lua file, ran a clean and repair and the menu is back......thanks to those who posted that solution... Taffy
