  1. Amazing! That's exactly what I'm trying to do with my desktop VR setup. How did you integrate everything? Could you share the 3D files if that's the route you went?
  2. Thanks, yes it worked once I turned off realistic TDC Slew. That might be worth a data point that at least for me, the Virpil 1st Gen T50 Throttle did not work with the combined depress/move.ent on the throttle thumb hat. Disappointing but oh well, at least it's working and I made my first expensive virtual holes in the dirt. . Thanks much!
  3. Where is that "Special Options Page"? Under the controls menu? I wasn't able to locate it. Messed around a bit more with no joy - I feel like I'm missing something basic but can't figure out what. When I press "TDC Depress", the crosshairs cycle on/off, but whether I hold it down or not it won't slew. It is definitely uncaged, A-G Mode, Master Armed, Sensor Select on the correct DDI. Bindings are correct, I checked, plus still no joy with the keyboard.
  4. Thanks! Yes I am unaging - forgot to mention that. I give that a try!
  5. I'm wrestling with this problem now. I'm learning the Hornet and Mavs for the first time using AGM-65F's and the default training scenario Wags uses in his video. I'm using a Virpil T-50 setup on Full fidelity mode. I have my TDC slew bound to the 4+1 hat on the side of the T50 throttle, with depress on the +1. I'm aware I need to hold the depress to be able to slew, but it's not working. I have Master Arm On, A-G Mode, Mavs Armed, Sensor Select indicating a star in the top right of my DDI, but no joy on the slew. Thinking it was a throttle issue I tried using the keyboard commands (holding Enter for TDC Depress and using , . / to slew, and its still not working. Is this an operator error issue and I'm missing something fundamental? Note I'm trying this both in Active Pause and regular flight mode.
  6. I use them in VR extensively, and after acclimating they dont add much time or fumbling at all. I even added a UFC using a cheap USB numeric keypad...with some remapping it works great. I definitely agree that using little bits of velcro on certain buttons to strategically orient you is very helpful..I added them using both the hook and loop section on both the DDIs and the UFC. Beyond startup I barely use the mouse now.
  7. Hi, I installed version 2.5.11 of VIACOMPRO, but I do not have the .vap file available to import in my VIACOMPRO folder. Am I missing something?
  8. Hey if you are still building out components for your A4 simpit I just noticed there are a couple of ARC-51's and, randomly, cockpit vents up on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Aircraft-Cockpit-A-4-SKYHAWK-Control-Radio-Set-UHF-C-6476-AX-ARC-51AX/141326900454?hash=item20e7bd5ce6:g:PVYAAOSws65TpnpX https://www.ebay.com/itm/A-4-Skyhawk-Cockpit-Vent-Ducts-Navy-and-USMC/133028530697?hash=item1ef91e4a09:g:3zwAAOSwmblZ2QZN https://www.ebay.com/itm/USN-USMC-A-4-Skyhawk-Oxygen-Quantity-Indicator-Gauge-Instrument/372473223823?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3Dcdfb174f07134474b591ff7cca4048e2%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D2%26sd%3D133028530697%26itm%3D372473223823&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
  9. Thank you! Following this below process I did get it to work on an instant action mission (and it did resolve the VR bug, a huge relief). For some reason on TTI though all the editable fields on the aircraft are still greyed out - I did not try step 9 though, I'll check that tonight, it might be the source of the problem. As for my other question, I'm assuming that the ILS system just isn't implemented yet, correct?
  10. I'm trying to follow this as outlined, and downloaded TTI, however all the parameters for each aircraft (including the client) are greyed out in the mission editor - they appear locked for editing. Do I need to do something to unlock the mission editor to edit the aircraft type and enable client use?
  11. I am having a blast with the A-4, really well done! I am quite new to DCS, the A4 release was what finally convinced me to take the plunge (in VR using Rift). I do have a couple questions though I've been unable to track down: 1. Previously on this thread a workaround for the uncalibrated VR cursor problem was to "spawn in the A4, then "change role" to another aircraft, then change back to the A4 and the cursor would align properly". Could someone describe this procedure in a little more detail? How do I "change role" in singleplayer once in-game? I tried using the F10 menu but can't find a way to change aircraft. 2. I tried a randomly generated (and quite fun) CAP mission that included heavy ground fog. On return I used the HSI to navigate back using the TACAN but couldn't figure out how to activate the ILS. It appears that the AJB-3 has the yellow needles there, caged on the left and bottom - are they functional yet? If so how do I activate them? Many thanks again for this excellent project. Would love to try flying multiplayer sometime!
