while we wait for sea creatures.. Then at least we have the option to eject near the coast and walk to the cafe onthe beach, and (stand ) near the bench and tables and take an imaginary drink before calling the base explaining what happened. :lol:

try this fix. Regarding the X55 then I have no such issues with mine as the keys all of a sudden do something by the self.. TIP..: To avoid random things happening then I highly recommend you to plug your x55 into usb 3.0 ports ( the blue usb ports ). Reason are usb 3.0 provide more power, and they are backwards compatible with your joysticks 2.0 usb's. i know from experience that many users have found my above tip usefull and i hope it can help you ;-) ( it will however not fix the issue where the joystick do strange things in other games... you have to center the trust handle els sometimes in menus in other games it can effect example drop down menus ).

Hi Regarding missing VSF files, i have the same issue and have reported it a few places. ( my own antivirus i have selected the antivirus to exclude the dcs folder and steam ect. so it dosent scan anything from withing these places. or running process of dcs ). I thought it was related to my vr crashing, but it seem other users also experience it. And i repaired dcs a few times by the way no files was missing it say.

I dont know if this is the same kind of bug you guys are talking about. But in VR it sometimes happen that the fps drop to 1-2 fps and then i can sit there idle just looking and waiting.. sometimes it recover after 30 sec, other times 5-10 minutes. Sometimes i see the vr loading screen . I dont know what the issue is, since the game run super good until after 1-2 houres it just get very slow for a few minutes... and after that it happen again and again example every 30 minutes. hmmm it say that my files where attached, but i cant see them. here is the files https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=216991 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=216990

hmmm all of a sudden the game run better. I updated a chipset driver to my motherboard that wasent on the official download section ( could only find via auto update ) And i updated the firmware of the gtx1080 and the fix had something to do with display ports. When i ran dcs world and a very simple mission i had much better fps.. The VR zoom key that normal tool like 2 seconds to zoom in with now zoom in in 0,5 sec And i have 60fps or a little lower ( wich is good since my vr headset do not need 90 fps to show vr but only 60.. so more than 30 on each eye is good ). I played for 1-2 houres in a simple mission tonight without any VR lag or loading. Not sure if my issue was fixed, that require more testing but it look promising. I used this firmware update for the nvidia gtx 1080 by the way. http://www.nvidia.com/object/nv-uefi-update-x64.html PS.. Other people that i fly with report that the above firmware update made dcs run more smooth with a little more fps. ( after updating the firmware restart and turn off your power for example 2 minutes so the memory of the computer is clear 100% so you avoid black screen)

I am having some issues with my VR The issue is that after 1-2 houres of playing the game all of a sudden drop to 1-2 fps and i either then sit in the cocpit doing nothing with lag, or I see the steam VR loading screen. To make the story short my VR run perfect until this happen, and i was looking in logs trying to figure out what the issue could be, and then i found this. and thought i report it. By the way, i can see that some VSF files are missing... I do not have any mods installed named VSF.. ( so maybe VSF is from the origianl game ) I did ofcourse do a repair and an update dcs CMD command and my dcs seem to be fine without issues.

Hello guys. I have an odd problem that I hope you guys can help me with. My computer windows 10 64bit ( installed on a M2 drive c:\ ) AMD Ryzen 1800x 3600mhz 8 cores 16 treats 16gb ddr 4 ram 2800mhz ( can run at 3200mhz ) Nvidia gtx 1080 8gb ram dcs installed on 2xssd in Raid 0 ( D:\ ) Steam installed on the Raid 0 drive as well. ( d:\ ) All drivers and windows are up to date. PIMAX 4k VR headset. My problem is that the game actual run very good in VR even on high settings and 1024 cockpit and so on. It feel smooth and for a VR headset the quality of what is see is good. With other words when I start a new mission then everything is okay and im happy about the speed of the game and the VR experience. Actual that surprises me since my FPS in vr is only 30fps. I presume dcs world 2,5 open beta show 30fps since my pimax 4k headet is loacked to 30 fps pr eye. Be aware that i use the pimax 4k headset and it do not use 90fps to show vr I presume it show VR in another way than ocolus and vive. ( I had the ocolus before, and pimax 4k is much better and less demanding ). Problem However after i play 1-2 houres ( random ) in multiplayer, then all of a sudden VR slow down to 1-2fps and it become impossible to play due to lag. Then one or two things happen.. Either i just sit there with 1-2 fps, or I get a blue screen with the steam VR loading animation ). Then i sit there for sometimes 20 sec.. other times 5-10 minutes before the lag dissaper and i can play again. :cry: And i dont know what to do other that wait or kill DCS and Steam VR. I dont understand why, the game run perfect and then all of a sudden i get 1-2 fps after 1-2 houres of playing. If it was just to low FPS or heat issues, then this would happen after 5-10 minutes and not after example 1-2 houres. Once the above happen, then the issue come and goes after X random minutes.. sometimes 10 minutes other times 30 minutes but it return, and typical it take longer to get over it. I have checked if my computer run to hot here in the summer time, but that is not the issue.. The cpu is below 50degrees ( i have water cooling ) and the computer case is also okay. By the way when the computer slow down to 1 fps, then I notised via the task manager ( left ctrl+alt+delete ) that the GPU of my computer uses 100% of the GPU power of my gtx 1080 when the fps lag start. When the 1-2 fps happen then the entire computer slow down, so even if i alt+tab to the desktop then things run slow... The cpu usage is of 30% so that is a bit strange.. So maybe things are related to my gtx 1080 card. I did ofcourse blow out dust in the 1080gtx and checked temperature and so on, and it seem to run just fine with no cooling issues. I tried to unistall the driver via. windows safe mode with special software to remove traces of it, and install new drivers.. this did not solve my issue. I have ofcourse tried to play with the dcs VR settings and also run at lower fps and so on, but that did not fix the problem either. I have reached a point where i dont know what to do, or how i can fix this.. So there for I like to ask for help, maybe you guys have some suggestions. PS.. I have only recently played allot of dcs especially once the f18c and dcs world 2,5 was released. To be honest i dont know if this happen in other planes than the f18c, but maybe i should try to fly the a10 for 1-2 houres and see what happen to rule out its an f18c issue. DxDiag.txt

Well pilots only leave the plane either walking or ejecting. I would presume that no matter how far or high or low you are then its a matter of life and death to stay in the plane, and at least ejecting give you a chance compared to staying in a plane that is going down. I take the chance ;-) But ofcourse yes if possible and there is enough time eject at a slow speed. Example in Denmark a while ago an F16 had an emergency with wheel suspension that had fallen off and the rear wheel was hanging loose. There was no way he would land or even raise the gear. He fly to an location a few km from land and ejected while his wingman filmed him with the TGP.. A few minutes later he was picked up by the Helicopter rescue and was saved. You can see the tire at 08.00 ${1}

DCS Denmark.. Lead Red Dragon, Wingman Delle.. Image perfect for your desktop ;-) Photo made during Sunrise.. Really beautifull i think. Click image to see it in full size

I can confirm in VR with nightvision that the Radio menu is not visible when you look at it. ( if you turn your head a little to the left you can see the edge of the radio popup menu in the top right corner ). To see the radio menu, turn off night vision (Rshift+H )

I would presume in real life that when it come to recon they would use a special pod that can take high resolution photos and thousands pr minute, including termal and other sensors to map the area. ( example a radar map of an area, but just a guess ). ( i am pretty sure that example the F16 have such a pod, im pretty sure they used it some years ago in denmark before an important meeting where they scan an area of copenhagen from the air to analyze various things ). but if you with your plane/anyplane in dcs can take a photo with your build in target pod.. well i dont think so that such a feature will be implemented. I would asume from a game point of view it would just be a mission success if you spot the enemy.

You need to click on "instant action", there you find example 20 different training missions you can fly. The f18c do as far as i know only work with the DCS world 2,5 version. ps.. In case you want to make your own mission the editor the f18c is named F18-Lot20

Hello I am having allot of lag with the new Persian map especially in the editor. Example 30 minutes ago i started up the editor and wanted to create a mission. The first 5 minutes when i see the map in the editor I had to wait for the map to finish loading, and everytime i zoom out it took a long time for it to update and expand the map. I could also not slew the mouse arround for a few minutes. I also have a slow map/lag when I am flying a mission and press F10 to bring up the map, then the map lag, and is a bit slow to expand.. Non of the two above way feel smooth to me. On other maps I do not have the same issues, its only the persian gulf map. I dont know if i can delete some kind of cache or config file to fix the problem, or if this is a bug. Also after about 20-30 minutees of Online playing with 4 other people, then typical in VR the persian map FPS are reduced to about 2 pr seconds where i can just sit and do nothing.. it take about 10 minutees before the FPS return so i can play. This do not happen on caucasus map. PS.. i know my computer is overclocked... However i also tried with std speed and 2400mhz ram and i have the same issue with the map. ryzen 1800x 3900mhz ( overclocked ) 8 cores / 16 treats ( temp below 60degrees ) 16gb ram 3200mhz ddr 4 ram Nvidia GtX 1080 windows 10 64bit DCS is installed on 2xSSD running in raid 0 Antivirus have been configured not to scan the dcs folder. The above happen both in VR and without VR. PIMAX 4k VR headset. ( it uses htc vive software to run ).

Hello As you properbly know when you are hit by a missile then it is very common in the f18c that you are instant killed and view your burning or smoking f18 heading for the ground. In my case I barely can remember the last time i ejected becourse my pilot almost always die when the plane is hit. Well I will not call this a bug, but I personaly think that "death" need to be tweaked a bit so that our pilot in the f18c more often survive so we can eject the plane. In my oppinion it would make it a bit more "fun" than instant death. Today i feel like im only able to eject 1 out of 10 times, or 1 of 20. So i would like the pilot in the f18c to get a higher chance of survival when the plane is hit, after all the yellow ejection seat is there to be used "right"? :megalol:

It seem other reply while i was writing.. but here are my reply anyway. HI.. Before i wrote this, i start my game and the f18c and tested, and in my game it work 100%. ( 12-07-2018 ) I used the right MDF when i program the waypoint. And i know that it is working in my friends games also since sometimes one of us read the coordinates while we are 3 people entering them on the ufc and programming the navigation system before we fly. I dont know what you are doing wrong.. But on the waypoint screen notise that there are two buttons named UFC one in the top, and one in the bottom ( named wpesqufc ) personaly i use the top ufc button. ( look this video it show you the button ) When you press UFC, then Press POSN on the keypad in front of you, and you should be able to enter the coordinates. ( ps waypiont 0 is always your home base waypoint, so select example waypoint 1 and edit the waypoint info. ) OR you can create some new waypoints example 2-3-4-5-6 and then for each one manual enter the coordinates. ( i program using either the left or right mdf ) One issue though. - if you create 2-3 waypoint where you manual enter the coordinates and height, then it will not draw the navigation line on the map, but the waypoints will be there and you see a small "pyramid" showing you the direction, as well as you see an icon on your head up display of what direction to fly. good luck

In real life I was Engineer soldier who did both mechanical and manual mine clearing and educated both in military and civilian/humanitarian mine clearing both with knife and metal detector, and mine flail ect ect. ( i did 3x6 month missions in kosovo ( a country to the right of italy, and north of greece somewhere if you try to find it on a map ) Regarding bomblets from a clusterbomb, then i thought i add a little info. Bomblets that are inside of cluster bombs always leave behind uxo's. An uxo is by the way the term for unexploded ordenance. This could be everything form a hand grenade, missiles, bombs, mortars that did not explode that people find. ect ect. I cannot remember how many bomblets/small bombs there are in each cbu anymore but what happen is they drop it over an area to kill something, but many of them miss the target and land without exploding. The cbu is a very effective weapon, but unfortunatly there are many of the bomblets that do not explode and just land on the ground and remain dangerous both during and after a conflict. With other words the bomblets become touch sensitive and more or less work like landmines in the area where they where dropped. That is why many nations have banned the usage of CBU's, since after the war they lay there like landmines and its slow and expensive to remove them. Now a days there are "rules of war" and when you drop a cbu, or lay out mine fields then you have to register the location, so that such information can be exchanged after the war so the areas can be clearned up or marked so people dont get hurt. Even if marked then it can be difficult to find and remove various kind of mines.. Some example can float with water, and example in kosovo there are small "ishocky pucks ( round things ) that float with water and there for can travel far away. And example in Denmark the mines buried by the Germans during ww2 are below sand and the sand blow arround and cover and uncover mines now and then. In war time there are different kind of ways to scare and direct the enemy in an direction that you want, and even to use landmines as physological weapon.. Or actual you can make a fake minefield and cheat the enemy believing they found a mine field.. this will stop the enemy and slow them down.. so it can be used in many different kind of ways. example if a soldier loose a leg and the other soldiers experience this it will damage moral and they become scared and less effective... and if a general hear the enemy have layed mines then he might select another route and could be part of the enemys plan to lure them into a killzone somewhere. CBU's if spotted in a zone will typical make the enemy select another route or send in the mine flail to clear a road so you can pass though. OR if we just are talking infantry an Engineer with a mine detector can walk in front and mark a path though... but will typical be faster to just walk 500m in another direction and find a new path. Typical the indications of cluster ammonition being in an area are that you find some alluminium pieces laying on the ground. They use these inside of the cbu to keep the correct distance inbetween the bomblets when they are released. By the way if you pickup a bomblet it might explode in your hand, so they when they are found they are detonated without touchging them, but either making a directed explotion with a tiny bit of explosives aimed as the bomblet, or you can lay c4 next to it and detonate. Alternative if you can see them from a distance you can shoot them with example an "12,7 sniper rifle".. by the way some times in the morning you can via thermal vision and such a sniper actual spot landmines burried below ground and shoot them becourse of the temperature difference of the ground above, and the mine below ground... ( or make a map of where mines are located. ). As you can imagine it take a long time to find and do this since the bomblets get covered with grass or are 20cm down in the ground. you can do this manual, or send in a mine flail. it cost about 7000usd pr hour to send in the mine flail and it can clear an area of 400-500m with a with of 4m. So not excactly fast, but it get the job done and you can farm the area afterwards. A mine flail either detonate the bomblet/mine or it rip the shit appart so it dosent work anymore. Bomblets are by the way not a favorite of mine flail drivers since technical speaking a bomblet can be throw up into the air and risk of falling down on top of the drivers cabin... however i think its very unlikely this will happen. Well all in all I support banning the usage of CBU's, it is an effective weapon but an absolute nightmare after a conflict end. Think of it as everytime you use one, you create a minefield that need to be cleared.

Hello I want to make a "dedicated server" but since there are no stand alone server then i like to ask.. I play on dcs stand alone version where all of my planes/helis/maps are linked to my account. I have 2 computer 1). my desktop computer ( gaming computer ) 2). my laptop that i want to use as a server. ( with graphics turned off for better performance for the server. I own all of the maps by the way. I like to ask, if i play dcs with my desktop computer and loging to my account ready to play. Will i then be able to use the same account on my laptop computer and use my DLC map on two different computers at the same time while both computers are logged in to the same account and playing ? will i have problems with my keys for my maps, if i activate them on two different computers at the same time ? I ask since I dont want to download everything just to find out I cannot "play" on two computers at the same time, with one account or worse have problems with the key's. my goal is to host a server so me and +6 other people can play together on example the DLC map persian, without me having to buy the map again for the server. :)

I thought it was an "old" feature, i dident notise that just thought i found a feature that I had overlooked for a while and thought i share the tip :-)

Dear forum. I found a cool feature today that I think many of you do not know about. As you know with the f18c it is easy to turn on the afterburner by accident, here is a trick to avoid it to save fuel.. :smartass: 1). Open the F18c plane controls.. 2). Search for the word "afterburner" 3). now you see the command " cycle afterburner detent ON/OFF 4). Assign a button on your keyboard or joystick to this button on the same page. ( by default this button is not assigned to anything ) 5). Fly your hornet and fly with example 50% power. 6). Press the button you assigned tocycle afterburner detent on/off 7). now the trottle should stop at 100% power and not turn on the afterburner. That is really cool :thumbup: to turn on your afterburner, again reduce your power to example 50% and click the button.. Now when you push your trottle to max it will go beyond 100% to like 150% with afterburner.. Happy flying...

The f18 stick is a no go from me. First of all I like to say i like the idea that you can just change the warthog joystick and screw unscrew the a10 and switch it. And the stick is beautifull. What i do not like is that there are no adjustable handrest. Actual there are no handrest at all on the stick that will make it a rather different flying experience.. Yes it do look more natural, but when it come to sim flight games then most people sit with the stick on the table raised a bit.. while in the real fighter the stick is at a lower height. ALso to keep your hand on the stick you need to tighten your hand and apply presure during the entire flight with your hand to keep your hand on the stick... that is not good. The difference is that you arm get more tired the higher you raise it up, compared to when you hold your arm lower. Just saying as a sim pilot I need the handreest and need to be able to adjust it for a more comfortable flight, and especially when it come to very acurate flight where only small adjustment is needed then resting your hand on the joystick give you much better fine control. Also imagine sitting with your hand and arm up high on the table for example a 2 hour flight vs a 2 hour flight with the hand inbetween your lets.. there is a huge difference how you feel after the flight. Sorry to say so, without a handrest I think people will regret buying the f18 stick.

FIX...: I found out how to fix this bug.. Run a command prompt and Repair your DCS world Navigate to your dcs world folder \DCS World\bin Hold Left SHIFT and right click with mouse anywhere Select OPEN command prompt TYpe CMD DCS_Updater.exe repair Then the f18c will work again. But at least now we know that a mission can damage the F18c

here are the missions that I suspect created this bug. Warning might do not use, they might damage your game. NOTE.. I have maybe renamed the missions wrong I all of a suddent had several copys of them all with same name... f18 myCarrier_Starter.miz f18_TRAINING_MISSION.miz

Hello I have a strange bug today. When i make a new mission in the editor and place the Stenis carrier, and the f18c in a ramp possition and load the mission. Then everytime the nose wheel hydraulics are extended as seen on my screenshot. Maybe this is effecting everything i do with carriers even in other missions ? ( note on land the nose wheel piston is compressed and i dont see the dark piston, but only the white cover and tow bar ). - Note the dark hydraulic piston on nose wheel is extended just like you are landing.. it should be compressed on the ground. This happen all the time when i start cold and dark, but also if i start with the engine running ready to taxi. If i start ready for takeoff then there are no problem. I find this bug very strange since I have been flying and taxi without issues on the stenis since release of the hornet. The only thing I have done today is to install 4 skins in the folder of. ( my game is the stand alone dcs world open beta ) I have manualy created the folder \fa-18c_hornet D:\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Liveries\fa-18c_hornet By the way this happen after i used a usermade mission from the ED user file section named F18 myCarrier_Starter.miz or F18_TRAINING_MISSION.miz that had some Static objects of f18c and other planes placed on top of the stenis. - I dont know if this mission somehow have damaged my original game or the F18c, or if i somehow can "clear a cache " or someting I like to add that it dosent matter if I use a default USA f18 with default skin, or if i use the "danish" ( denmark) with our custom skin. No matter what the f18c is stuck and cannot taxi.
