I have some issues with DCS after having a system and setup that previously performed flawlessly. All other apps and games also run without problems currently. A week ago they requested a new batch of logs, but since then there has been no activity in my ticket despite my repeated reminders. I have been polite and constructive, but they have seemingly just decided to let my ticket die. No replies, nothing. Is that how you do business, ED? Ignoring customers? I will definitely not spend another cent if this keeps up... And I am the kind of guy trying to support companies I like, in EDs case by buying directly instead of via Steam. Anyone care to share their experiences? Have I just been unlucky? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, Situation is this: game mission load halts on "Please Wait..." if in VR mode. Oculus Rift S is connected and latest drivers installed. DCS version 2.5.6, but occured in 2.5.5 as well. Without VR connected, mission initializes as expected. Have deleted saved games folder, uninstalled and reinstalled DCS. Reproducible 100% of the time. PC specs is no problem (Alienware 51m, RTX2080, 32gb RAM). Any ideas what might be causing this? Many thanks in advance!

It stops / hangs. No progress, no activity in the activity manager. Force quit via the activity manager. Loading without vr is blazingly quick. Yes, latest nvidia drivers, latest windows, latest oculus firmware/driver.

Range *might* be an issue, as I have been far out when designating. However, often the behaviour has persisted until on top of the target, and I have been flying level at 3-5000 feet or so so masking should not be an issue. Is there a visibility factor to the lasing in terms of surfaces being illuminated? That would explain why it sometimes locks and sometimes not. I am curious - is everyone having 100% success with the method? Am I the only one having issues? Edit to add: It is curious that someone tagged my post with "(NO BUG")". How/Why? That moderator should have had the courtesy to respond to the post before editing it and explaining why following the correct procedures fails in locking the target.

I tried it several more times, and it appears the "problem" is with the maverick finding the laser. Some targets it will lock onto, some not. Especially buildings are hard to lock onto. Are there any tips regarding how/where to point the laser in order for it to be easily trackable by mavs/bombs?

Hi all, Just want to check if anyone else is having problems with this combo after the last update? I am following Chuck's guide and have referred to both Wags and Redkites youtube videos, but I cannot get the LMAV to lock. Step by step: Instant Action - ready on the ramp - rearm with a pod and LMAV - takeoff - switch on FLIR and wait for cool down - Set both Mav and pod codes to 1688 - activate trigger mode on pod - arm FLIR - slew to ground target and designate (ptrk mode) -- diamond appears in HUD - uncage LMAV Now one of two things happens: 1, most often: LMAV sweeps and does not sync with the designated point 2, sometimes: LMAV will instantaneously sync and look at target In the wags video, he holds the trigger to lase the target and does so at weapons release, after having gotten the Mav to find the target. In Redkite's video, it would appear that one has to toggle the pod to tase the target (and not hold) to get the Mav to find the target. So I am a bit confused here. Regardless, even if I managed to get the Mav to "find" the target and be in range. It will still not lock (even though laser is triggered and indicated as such on the FLIR page (LRTD etc. in the upper center obs display position). MAV is crossed over and weapon will not release. So, I kindly would like to ask: 1. Am I doing something wrong, if so, what? 2. Is anyone else having problems? Many thanks in advance! :)
