There is a handy programme called DCS DTC, which you can activate when in the pit and it acts just like a real data cartridge and takes the pain out of manual entry, highly recommend

DCS unplayable todays update (19/3-25)
Oilman100 replied to Skyracer's topic in Game Performance Bugs
Let me know if you find a solution, exactly the same issue since the patch -
same here, anyone have the older version

I have been using Voice chat without any issues, went back to use it after a couple of months and I cannot get the in game radio menu to appear. I have reset the key binding but still cannot get it to work. Looking at other posts, I have checked the Chat window lua and the position looks fine within the window. The only thing I have added is the Winwing Legend, so now run Simapp pro, any thoughts

investigating multi monitor - Voice chat window GUI not visible in 2.9
Oilman100 replied to hreich's topic in Voice Chat Bugs
Did anyone ever find a fix or workaround for this, thx -
Easy comms is definitely off, contacting JTAC is not the issue as menu options are all there, just stop responding

Having exactly the same problem, did you manage to solve it

Thoughts on the campaign
Oilman100 replied to happyhappy's topic in DCS: F-16C The Gamblers Campaign
In missions 3 I believe there was a known bug and it was corrected in the last update, haven’t tried it yet but will this week. Appreciate the reply, there is always a balance with realism and enjoyment v endurement. I remember your original A-10C campaign, "Enemy Within" I think, it was a real classic and replayable, I don’t want to detract from your work as it is top notch and painstakingly done to create a real experience. Looking forward to your Artic Thunder campaign and comparing it the Reflected Simulations one. -
Thoughts on the campaign
Oilman100 replied to happyhappy's topic in DCS: F-16C The Gamblers Campaign
I really wanted to enjoy this campaign as the F-16 deserves it but after 3 missions I'm somewhat disappointed, there are allot of good elements, the radio setup and general feel of the missions are great and fills you full of anticipation. I found the radio transmissions for the most part had too much static and I had to read the text as the voices were lost in the background noise, however the voice overs were at the right frequency and kept you involved but you do need to listen very carefully. The missions themselves are somewhat boring, be prepared to formation fly for hundreds of miles with pretty much nothing happening, I've read in earlier posts to use acc time and I understand this. I just didn't get mission 2, fly formation in complete darkness for 90 mins to watch some bombs fall (albeit not mine) and then fly the whole way back and then get asked to got to the tanker even thought I had over 7000lbs left, no sense in this. In mission 3 at least I was the lead, again very long transit but then some action, which was short but enjoyable, went back to holding area and reported in and got confirmation and told to hold for further instruction which never came. After 20 mins of waiting I was running low on fuel so decided to go to the Tanker, unfortunately it was further away than home base, managed to land with 150lbs of fuel, can't say the same for my wingman who fell out of the sky at the IP. I know from the briefing that I should have been called in by JTAC but that never happened. Pretty much 4 hrs into this campaign and becoming very disinterested, I can handle the long transit times but then as the campaign is so prescriptive and a bug stops a trigger, you pretty much have to start again. -

Also confirm that this fixes the problem, you only need to turn on 1 core, press OK and then immediately turn them all back on again and press OK, (you don't need to leave the task manager screen) this method ensures DCS won't crash, I just hit escape to pause and ALT TAB into Task Manager, great fix
-
I have exactly the same issue as you and only in MT, ST runs perfect, I also get the spikes and notice that when the split second stutter occurs, Core 1 max’s out at 100%, then most lightly catches up and stutter ends and then repeats when it max’s out again. Have tried all the fixes suggested and still no joy.

Great first mission, what is the best method for maintaining the correct distance to lead, he calls 1 mile trail, this is usually done via A-A Tacan but this is not available, is it just a guess using the HSD or Radar

Working perfectly, many thx
