My MFCD's in the A10CII will flash black screens and black partial screens, particularly the left MFCD. This is when the Maverick camera is on screen. I've also noticed the TGP has Gimbal Roll at times, even when flying straight and level and the target is dead ahead. I Haven't had this problem on other maps.

It would appear not to be a cable issue. I fired up Airlink with the Quest 2 and had NZXT running to keep an eye on temps. I loaded into my regular MP server, got into my A10 and as I proceeded with startup, the fans spooled up, I got dumped into Quest Home, and the monitor was off. I was raising my goggles occasionally to check temps. At one point I noticed a temp as high as 84c, but I'm not sure what it was as I was sitting on the ramp. I'm guessing 84c is high for a GPU? The CPU was showing about 40c. When the game shut down and the fans were running, I checked to see and both GPU fans were running pretty fast. At this point I assume it's time to look for a new GPU. Just my luck of course, when the price of vid cards are so high. 3070 ti or 3060 ti to replace the 2080???

Yeah, I have two new cables and it still happens, so I automatically ruled out a cable issue. I also tried USB 3.0 cable instead of USB C. I guess I should try Airlink and see if the problem persists. The problem started just a few months ago, so I have to wonder if maybe a Oculus/Meta update or a DCS patch caused something to glitch?

Thanks for the reply Alpine. I have an 850W power supply, so I would think that's enough for my system. In the 2 1/2 years I've had my system, I have never heard the fan run as loud as it does when the problem happens. My system was built by Xidax and came with liquid cooling but about a year ago the CPU started to overheat. On the recommendation of a local PC tech the liquid cooling was replace with a Cooler Master Masterair MA620M which is working well at keeping things cool. I've kept the video drivers up to date. I bought the Quest 2 for DCS and it is an improvement over the Rift S. Sucks not to be able to use it. At this point, I'm not sure what to try next. I doubt taking it to a PC tech will resolve anything, because they'd have to be flying DCS with the Quest 2 on to replicate the problem. I have Speccy and NZXT CAM to keep an eye on temps but when it happens I cant see the temps because the monitor is not receiving a signal anymore. Also when it happens I notice the HD light going. Fan_Trim.mp4 Open for suggestions from anyone.

I got a Quest 2 during Christmas and it seemed to run well for a couple months, but I've been having a problem with it the last few months. I have a Rift S that I keep plugged in to my PC and I use the Oculus Cable USB cable to connect the Quest 2 when I'm flying DCS. System specs Windows 10 i9 9900K @ 3.6Ghz Ram 32G RTX 2080 4095MB The problem is that sometimes while flying with the Quest 2 the game will throw me out and I'll be in the Quest 2 home screen. My monitor will lose the video signal, a fan in the PC has spooled up really loud and there is no way I can get the monitor back on, or close down the computer other than pressing and holding my PC power button (which I know is not good for my PC). I went back to flying with the Rift S and flew for over a week with no problems. I thought maybe it was the Oculus USB/C to USB/C cable giving me a problem, so I ordered a USB 3 to USB C cable made for the Quest 2 and tried that. 20 minutes into the game, the fan spooled up, I was dumped out of DCS into the Quest Home Screen and my monitor was black. I thought maybe it's a heat problem with the vid card, but then the Rift S doesn't cause this problem. I hate not being able to use the Quest 2 and I'm not overly tech savvy but I'd sure appreciate any suggestions anyone can offer.

Awesome, thanks.... love your co-pilot.

Would it be possible to see a photo of how you attached the throttle? I've been thinking of upgrading my Warthog Throttle also. It would be great not having to buy a new plate.

I've cant seem to figure out how to get GBU12's to pick up a buddy (Reaper) lased target. I don't have any problems self lasing, but I'm not sure the procedure for picking up buddy lased targets. I have the GBU12's set to 1688, Master Arm on, GBU's selected and set to CCRP, Master Mode set to CCRP, but as I make my approach to the target I'm not seeing the targeting cue fall line. I've searched YT tutorials on GBU12's but most seem to be dedicated to self lasing. Can anyone tell me the steps for using them with a buddy lased target, or point me in a direction that shows the procedure? I can do this effectively with the AV-8B, but that's a whole different work flow. Thanks

I've had this issue as well. Like Yurgon said it takes a very steep dive angle to get a valid CCIP. I find myself at about a 65 to 70 degree dive angle before I get a solid line and can view the bomb circle. Makes for an exciting bomb run. hehe But then, I'm a big fan of the CBU 97. There's no problem that can not be solved with a righteous amount of 97's applied.

Thanks Cap..... that did the trick.

Is it possible to have Scratchpad give Lat and Long in decimal for use in the A10C2? I seem to remember an older version that showed multiple type coordinates. I'm new to Scratchpad and not sure if I'm missing something. Currently using ver 5.0.

Did you get throttle only or buy the set (throttle and stick)? For some reason the TM site (US) is only showing the set or the stick separately but no throttle.

I've been contemplating replacing my Warthog throttle for a Virpil CM3. There's nothing wrong with my Warthog aside from the fact that I hate the slew control with a passion, so much so in fact, that I use one of my joystick hats for slewing, which of course takes up a valuable joystick controller that could be used for other things. After reading through all of the glowing recommendations on this slew replacement, I decided to take the plunge an order one today. It's not cheap, but it's a heck of a lot cheaper than a new Virpil throttle. Hope I made the right choice. lol

Sometimes it's the simplest of things... sheesh Well, I had turned off Air Link in Oculus Home and couldn't figure out why the Quest 2 was ignoring the cable and using Air Link when I had it plugged in. Well, that's because I had failed to turn off Air Link in the Quest 2 settings and it was choosing Air Link instead of cable. Once I figured that out everything came together and the cable connection was made and setup completed. I can not get over how much better the graphics are using the cable, and the Quest 2 is definitely an upgrade from the Rift S. The cockpit labels were readable even with these old eyes and the terrain looked sharp and detailed. I'm a happy camper. Now, I'd like to get the best possible, but not really sure I can figure out Oculus Tray Tool, Oculus Degug, SideQuest, etc. All those settings are a bit intimidating and I'd hate to screw up a good thing. Are there any tutorials on how to use these different software? Much thanks guys for the help and encouragement. I was pretty bummed last night thinking I had made an expensive mistake. The Q2 was well worth the purchase.

System specs. i9 9900k 3.6g 32g mem RTX2080 Thanks, I'll give that a try. Going to work on figuring this out today.... or I'll be back to flying on the Rift S and looking through a screen door. lol
