You properbly need to re assign the axis of your joystick in the settings. rudder / pitch / roll and trust. A few buttons where just like with the previous patch overwritten or deleted, or double assigned to the same or other buttons.. So you have to go though the control settings again. :music_whistling:

Hello.. To be honest i dont know if you benefic from it, but i think you should try it doubt it will be bad for your computer ;-)

tip..: if you update your nvidia cards firmware, then you can in most cases get +15fps more in VR and allot more in ordinary mode. to make the story short after i did this my self my game run more smooth, and my friends are of the same oppinion along with other forum members also have had great success updating the firmware. tip..: when you update , then turn off your antivirus before you do it and dont touch your computer once the update is being done. when you finish the update then turn off the power to your computer for minimum 1 minute to avoid something to get stuck in memory that in rare cases will give you a black screen when you boot your computer. It so to speak need to clear the memory after the update to do a fresh start.. enjoy https://www.nvidia.com/object/nv-uefi-update-x64.html

Tip..: im not sure this will solve your problem but you can try to update your graphic cards firmware. I know from experience that after i did this my self, then i gained more than 15fps in VR and my friends who also did this also gained more fps in general and the game felt more "fluent". Im not sure it will help you, but try this firmware update from nvidia. TIp2..: turn off your antivirus and DO NOT do anything on your computer while you update. Tip3..: one friend reported he afterwards had a black screen.. But he solved this problem with after he updated to turn off the power to his computer and wait 1 minute, then everything worked again. https://www.nvidia.com/object/nv-uefi-update-x64.html

ALso it would be very nice if the unit you place in the editor actual was called the same as in the Ecyclopedia, it would make it allot more easy to find things.

Hello I like to suggest a new feature for the kneeboard. I think all pilots know that sometimes you get a message saying attack enemy location Nxxxxxx E xxxxxxx but the message dissaper most of the time after a few seconds again and in some missions you cant ask to have the message displayed again..... And then you sit there in your plane unable to see the message again :cry: And in Vr you cant even write down the coordinates on a piece of paper since you have to take your googles on/off to read it again. :doh: My suggestion.. 1). It would be nice if the kneeboard had a page where messages where kept so you can read them again... - I think the best way to do this is if the mission creator could when they make the text select the message to be visible in the kneeboard or not. That way only selected messages are visible. :thumbup: 2). Some more advanced missiosn with many scripts allow you to view the message via the F10 radio menu and show the message again for X seconds. This would also work, at least we can read it again, all though i think the kneeboard is the best alternative since you have have the 2d kneeboard open while you have your can sit and click on your planes numpad and your self deside when to open/close the kneeboard. :thumbup: 3). Or at least a feature to keep a message that contain coordinates open until the user press a predefined button before the text dissaper. A bit like in example the a10 tutorials where the message dissaper when you press Space.. that would be handy. And ofcourse again for the level designer need to make the message so it stay open until button pressed "feature". :thumbup: -------------- Well that was my little suggestion. :)

Tip... i think you can overcome your problem rather easy. When it come to the part where you have to shutdown 1 engine while giving the other max power, then do the following. I dont know your joystick but technical speaking you can temponary bind your joystick to only the right engine, and then bind the left engine to two buttons on your joystick so you can add power and reduce power with a button instead of using the joystick... problems solved.

The game require very little bandwith data to be send.. when you start the game is just check if you have a key, and then it unlock. ( but you will not be able to fly online with your internet connection i think ). By the way DCS world come with 2 free planes you can fly. The su25 and the P51 plane. Then you can see if your computer can run the game before you example buy another plane... ( personaly i recommend the f18c since it can do everything )

Due to your slow internet, and old computer i will not recommend DCS flight simulator for you for many reasons, one is the download size, the other is your old computer. I highly recommend that you on steam buy "falcon 4" its an old flight sim BUT fans have kept it alive with many mods that make it a very good flight sim with much better graphics than when the game was released. ( example in the webstore on steam you will see the flightsim video its old and do not look so good, but if you use a mod you can make the graphics much better.. ) And it only cost like 9,99usd.. Be aware that you will have to watch some tutorials to know how to operate the plane ( planes yes you can fly in different planes ). The game is not so big and do not take so long to download. https://store.steampowered.com/app/429530/Falcon_40/ The mod that you need for it to look pretty. ( its free ) a video of BMS Download the free mod here. http://veterans-gaming.com/index.php?/files/file/22-falcon-bms-433-wupdates-1-2-3-4-5/ OR the official forum https://www.bmsforum.org/ ( you need account to download ) on the forum you can also download more maps such as iran, balkan If you want a civilian flight sim i recommend FSX flight simualtor that is on steam.. its old but still very good and there are many free planes you can download on the net.

Can blu-108 hit a tank if its example hiding in a forest.. Well truth is i would say its less effective since tall tress and branches will make allot of the bomblets hit trees or get stuck and comfuse the sensors. Also bomblets are "touch sensitive", with other words if they fall though branches then they properbly will explode before they hit the tank. ( The bomblets and sensor get activated xx meters above ground ). So i would say its a no go ( but yes you can try and hope for the best ) I was an Pioner/combat engineer when i was a soldier. .And i have removed mines both by hand and via a mine flail.. Regarding the usage of clusterbomb ammonition used by the US in kosovo/bosnia then i can say that everytime they drop such a bomb then many of the bomblets ( small bombs inside ) do not explode and just end up laying on the ground.. These bomblets are touch censitive and lay behind long after the war where they hurt both animals and humans. By the way one way you can see if there are cluster bombs in an area are if you find some small thin metal pieces laying on the ground ( used to seperate the bomblets in the bomb ). Or if animals are dead in the area. - In Afhanistan the soviets painted some so they have mickeymouse and other cartoon images on them so children would pick them up. Today these can still be found. Especially in kosovo landmines such as the ( ishocky puch shaped mine ) sometimes shift possition when it rain in the mountains and are washed away and land other places in the country. some explode some do not. You can either run a mineflail though and area and destroy bomblets that way, or you can do it manualy by placing explosives next to them and detonate. (OR ) in special weather conditions and terrain you can with a 12.7 sniper rifle with a thermal scope see mines in the ground and shoot them since the mines temperature and the dirt temperature is not the same. "funny story" i actual walked streight though a mine field 2 times without knowing... Both where bomblet from CBU's. One time i first notised when i exit the mine field and see the warning labels on the trees... The other time we wanted to walk on top of a mountain, and a farmer stop us and said dont go any further my cows sometimes die.. when we look arround we coudl see parts from bomblets in the bushes while we where walking on the animal trail.. To stop this "off topic" story, i like to say mines now a days are smart mines ( some of them ).. example they can act both as mines with build in sensors that send a signal to HQ saying "hey" i hear a tank... and then mine fields can be turned on/off via a remote... or the mines can them self talk together and detonate to inflict as much damage as possible.. Some mines run on battery where you can adjust them to function for the next example 180days and then turn them self off. That way they are not a risk after the war. And also acroding to rules of war, any mine field need to be marked and saved and shared with friends/foes after the war so they more easy can be found and removed... same goes with usage of CBU they have to write down where its used. CBU's are if i remember correctly only in the inventory of USA and RUSSIA, while pretty much all other countrys have signed a treaty to not use them, becourse of the above issue of UXO's ( unexploded ordenance ) that hurt the civilians long after the war. PS...: When you see in a movie that someone step on a mine and he just stand there without it exploding.... well lets put it this way its properbly not gona happen in real life.. - fun little story.. In a mine field somewhere an EOD where removing mines... At some point he walked from a-b and somehow step on a "bouncing mine" that jump out of the ground and hit him in the balls.. He survived becourse it hit him in the balls, and reason is that the jumping mine first detonate once a wire is treatched and activate the explosives. ( the bouncing mine "jump" when presure is released ( or explode after x seconds no matter what if i remember corectly ). The idea is once activate it jump and detonate in example 1,5m height to send out scrap in all directions injurying more soldiers than if it just where burried in the ground and only rip off the a foot.

I played with 6 other people today. We all have control issues after latest patch. The f18c i think that about 15-20 buttons need to be reprogrammed. ( easy to spot, they have double keys bindings example before gun was button 1, now it s button 1 and 2.. Same goes with many ohter things where the programmed china hat commands now are on 2 other china hat controls ect ect. ) I also tried the huey, and if i remember correct a few things needed to be configured again. And f18c radar stop or do not work at all sometimes. The bugs have already been reported.

You land the hornet with full flaps. In general the goal is to land as slow as you can.... ALSO be aware how much fuel you have in your plane when landing.. I cannot remember but you need something less than 3500 fuel, or with other words you need to be light when you land. When you weight is low then you can fly slower, and that make the landing more soft than if you land with a fully loaded plane, then bad things might happen. TIP...: before you make the final turn then while you have the gear and full flaps out and speed of example 140knots TRIM the plane so you fly level. It will make it more easy to land. And remember use the trottle to adjust your height not the joystick.. with other words if you are to high, lower power a little bit, if you to low add more power.. The goal is to keep your joystick steady on the glide slope all the time. it take some practice but once you learn then it become more easy to land. regarding the cage/uncage the hud.. sorry I dont quite undestand or know the answer.. Personaly i just lower the gear/flaps/hook and then i have all the information i need. BUT i think the cage button is the same button you use when you are using your sidewinder and lock onto a target that the sidwinder are looking at.. once you press the button you get a square arround your target with the sidewinder. When you press the same button while yo uare landing ( with your your master arm in off/safe possition and no weapons selected ) you can move the headsup display a little bit to center or uncenter what you see.. this can be very nice in some situations. I found this on google. 2.11.3.2 Cage/Uncage Button. The cage/uncage button is located on the rear inboard side of the right throttle. In NAV master mode and A/G master mode (AUTO delivery), the cage/uncage button is used to cage and uncage the velocity vector. Depending on master mode and TDC priority assignment, the cage/uncage button can be used to (1) cage/uncage weapons, (2) command a radar STT, (3) toggle between weapon modes, or (4) reset sequenced HARM targets.

Hello I have just tried to fly the instant mission refuel mission that come with the f18. The f18 and the fuel plane spawn as expected and you can also connect to it. But after a few seconds it take a 45 degree nose dive and drop xxxx feet. Then it stabilize and i connect again.. Again the plane take a 45 degree nose dive down xxxx feet The third time i connect then again after a few secons it make a steep dive but this time it conitinue in a 45 degree line down into the water. I think the refuel mission might be broken since the last 1 or 2 updates. ps.. I did not hit the plane in anyway i just connect and then strange things happen.

Here you go :D https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/hornet/

I dont think they delete anything, but the product will stop working, and then you can only use it again if you enter a code. Maybe you will see a popup or simply just be unable to fly the plane. Regarding the main topic " thank you for the free weekend" then i like to say i think its great to give people the ability to try the f18 or a map for a weekend. Personaly i would also like to try the harrier and see how it is like, and the quity of it before i buy.. With other words when you buy a piece of clothing you like to know if it fit before you pay it.. The same goes with dcs, except here you rarely can try anything and its a kind of buy and get no refund kind of deal. So im glad they have a Try the product free weekend so i as a comsumer can try the software before buying. ( i own most modules and all maps by the way and i have the f18c, su-33 and the maps.. i think it is great for everyone els to try it for free before buying. ).

maybe sound cilly, but did you program the wong f18 profile. There are an f18c arcade, and f18c sim configuration. Also do you maybe have some kind of software for your hotas system where you have programmed keys and stuff.. maybe you setup something that block dcs from working. On my old x52 if i had programmed the fire button in the joystick software then i could not use the same button inside of DCS. ( the only keys i programmed in dcs was UI zoom, and the joystick axis up/down/left/right ) everything els was done in the software. Also in all profiles in my game, i have to manual delete all Axis commands since all joystick/hotas and other things always are setup to use the same std axis values. Maybe try to reset the f18c settings page back to default.

I flown more than +300 houres in dcs, in both helicopters/ jets such as a10/f18 and fc3. I never experienced a blown fuse in anything. I dont think its implemented in any plane, all though you can click on them.

Im not 100% sure at all. But 280kn is the most fuel efficient cruise speed.. But i cant remember the height.. I would asume it is 20.000ft but it ofcourse depend on your weight and weapons as well. But 280kn maybe try to fly at different height and activate cruise speed and then write down how much fuel you use in 1 minute.

Turn on the APU and you will get Hydraulics so you can stear and lower the gear and use the break.. :)

the best way to get higher fps are 1): if you have an nvidia card, then it helped me allot ot update my firmware of my graphics card 1080... a guess i got like 15-20fps more after this update. This is a firmware update that people do not get automatic by the way. ( you only get the video driver ) This update also support other nvidia cards by the way, so read the info on this webpage and see if your graphics card is supported. https://www.nvidia.com/object/nv-uefi-update-x64.html 2): lower your view distance..

I own the f18c and do not have plans to buy the F14. But i would say go for the F18c first of all.. Its a multirole plane that can do everything and its also quite modern. At the moment in early access the F18c is mostly an AA fighter, since there are no TGP ( targeting pod ) or ground radar that can help you with finding ground tagets.. In the near future ( my guess within the next 14 days-3 weeks ) you have LGB bombs that JTAC or another plane can lase for you and you drop the bomb and hit things with it... And there might also be the HARM missile so you can kill radar's... A VERY usefull feature that will make you very populare if you fly online ;-) All in all get the f18c it can do everyting.

Just want to say i just tested the mod, and I was able to do an ILS landing at dubai intl RWY 12L: ICLS ch. 11, TACAN ch. 38X. I had the ILS cross on the hud all the way during landing. Thanks to the person who made the mode it is a nice feature ;-)

I have a simular issue with the mouse. sometimes when i start dcs then the mouse is 10x10cm left and up vs where i see the mouse pointer.. with other words it do not click where i want to click. I run the game in window mode, and only way to fix it is to restart the game then it typical work as expected. This have been happening since the last patch sometimes a bit random.

Thank you both for the advice.. +1 ahh its a multiplayer bug.. ;-) ++1 will consider the f5E and uber sidewinders LOL
