Couldl anyone please explain how the smoke pods in the F-18 work? I've read somewhere that they are activated by pressing "S" on the keyboard, but that doesn't work for me. I'm talking about the official smoke generators for the F-18, not the smokewinder mod.

I'm getting the Blackscreen in monitor mode. While using VR I get to the "Hangar" view, but then the main menu is missing. The Log is from a game launch in VR.

Like you, I did an integrity check when getting the Backscreen after initial update. When the check was finished DCS appeared again in the Steam update screen, and this time the size of the patch was aroung 570 MB instead of 1.2GB which was the first update.

GeForce GTX 1080 here, and Blackscreen.

This time the patch was around 570MB, but still Blackscreen.

Looks like there is already a new Update on Steam. Downloading now for the second time.

Well, BLACKSCREEN after update!!! Arrrgh! :cry:

The same second I've submitted my last question here (one minute ago) the Update appeared in the Steam Client. A bit more than 1GB.

Lucky ones! Any Steam users here, that already got the update?

Yes, the problem also occurs in VR here, with no special Aircraft or Mission, is a general Problem. I'm using the latest open beta.

"We also provided it in the PDF document package available in the docs folder." Where is this folder?

When flying training- or any other missions I often can't read the whole instruction text. So I usually get stuck, because I miss the most important part of the text, that comes at the end, where it says what to do next. Is there a way to scroll through the text, or maybe to reduce the font size nof the instructions?

TWO campaigns? Whats the second one besides "Cage the Bear""?

I had a lot of fun with the Tomcat while learning all the avionics and weapon systems, and I set up several small training scenarios with the mission editor in DCS to practice dogfights, ground attacks with different weapon systems, air to air refuelling, carrier operations and so on. But I agree that it would be the right time now for one or another campaign since only practicing now gets a little bit boring after all these months of (offline) training. I must say that personally I'm not so much into online playing, because I like to pause the simulation whenever I need to, and often simply don'thave the time to spend hours in a single online session. So please Heatblur give us the campaigns you promised us for the F14.

I'm using Voice Attack and VAICOM Pro with DCS, and my biggest Issue with the Rift S ist that the Microphone suddenly "Freezes" after a while. That's also the Case if I connect an external Headset to the Rift. I had no Luck yet to use the Mike longer than 30 Minutes in Game. After this Time Voice Attack either shows a constant Input Peak or no Input at all. If this happens I need to plugout the Rifts USB Cable and reconnect it to the Computer. But then I need to restart the Oculus Software, Voice Attack and of course DCS, so the current Flight is lost. The Sound Output of the Rift doesn't have any Issues, its only the Mike. So currently I have to resign from Voice Communication with DCS and the Rift S. My Rift is connected directly into an USB 3 Port of my PC. No USB Hub or anything else between the Rift and the PC.

Thanks for your suggestions Hollywood. I will give them a try later. Meanwhile I've managed to mess up my Audio Settings completely, so that Windows Speech Recognition can't hear me anymore, and therefore not even Voice Attack works for now :-( Whatever I define as the default Microphone in Windows Sound Settings, and whatever Input Device I choose in the Windows Sound Panel, the Speech Recognition Engine insists in using my Audio Interface as Input Source. I tried to configure my Headset Microphone or my Oculus Rift S Microphone as Input Source directly in Voice Attack, but obviously Voice Attack can't "hear" anything. But thats not a VAICOM Pro Problem. EDIT: OK, a big Part of the Problem is my new Oculus Rift S. The Microphone of the Rift often suddenly "freezes", which means that it either constantly sends some "Noise" to Voice Attack (visible in the "Peak Meter" on the Voice Attack Main Screen) or nothing at all, causing a lot of Side Effects, like the one described above. I've got VAICOM Pro to work now after I disabled all other Audio Input Devices on my Computer, but only for half an hour until the Mike stopped working again. Reconnecting the USB Cable of the Rift S brigs it most often back to life, but I have to retart DCS and Voice Attack afterwards anyway.

I've already complained on Page 225 of this Thread that VAICOM Pro simply doesn't work for me. Since then things even got worse. Weeks ago the VAICOM Config screen correctly identified the loaded DCS Module, VoiceAttack correctly understood my Voice Commands, but DCS never responded to my Commands. Since then I've moved DCS to another SSD, and of course I've set the custom DCS Path Option on the Config Screen in VAICOM to the new Location. I've also reset the "Lua Code" option on the VAICOm "Reset" Page. But now not even the DCS Module gets identified by VAICOM Pro, and of course Voice Commands also doesn't work as long as the VAICOM Pro Profile is selected in Voice Attack. Currently I'm using easy Communications and the "Map" Dial set to "Single" to make sure not to incidently use the wrong Communication Channnel. Fiddling around with VAICOM Pro already took me hours and hours of reading, watching and configuration Attempts. Voice Attack on its own works like a Charm, but I never got any Results with VAICOM Pro in nearly two Months now. I don't expect to have any positive Effect to copy the VAICOM Plugin again to the Voice Attack Plugin Folder, or to delete my License data. So what else could I do to start with a fresh Install or force VAICOm to write the Lua Files to the correct Location? BTW: I'm on Windows 10, so I don't expect any Problems due to the UDP Protocol EDIT: Obviously VAICOM Pro can't find my DCS Installation, but the Path given in the attached Log File is correct. VAICOMPRO.log.txt

Thats really a great Video, thank you. OK, back to practice mode....

Well, I 'm also relatively safe while doing straight in Approaches. My one, big, unsolved Problem with CASE 1 Recovery is the last turn into "the Groove". On Downwind I'm stable at 135kts "on Speed" and "on AoA". But in this Configuration I'm loosing a lot of Altitude during the last turn, if I don't correct Pitch with the Stick and add a lot of Throttle, to safe the Aircraft from going down with more than 2000ft/min Sinkrate. But that spoils my whole Setup that I have at the End of the Downwind leg. I don't know how to fly the last Turn without spoiling my whole Setup.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I haven't read though all the posts here: Due to the different display techniques between Oculus CV1 and the Rift S, is there a noticable difference in head accumulation in the headset? I rarely used the Rift CV1 during the summer, because it simply got too hot in the headset for me, and most of the time during summer I couldn't see anything because of steamed up lenses. I was hoping that LCD displays would be much lesser heat emitting than the OLED screens of the CV1.

My first DCS Module was the F-14, where it seems to be quite common to use ATC during Carrier Landings, and the F-14 also provides an Autoland Feature where ATC Activation is mandatory. Now I've bought the F-18 and I'm a bit confused that ATC isn't mentioned in any Tutorial about (Carrier-) Landings in the F-18 I'm aware of. Is this just because of the challenge of flying everything manually, or is it uncommon in Reality to use Autothrottle in a F-18 during (Carrier-) Landings? Also it's a bit hard to believe that the F-18 doesn't have an Autoland Feature for Carrier-Landings while the 20 years older F-14 has it. Is there really no Autoland in the F-18 or is it just missing because of early access?

I don't know if this addresses your issues, but for me this Mod is a big step forward while flying in VR: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303911/

Ok, most of the Questions about this Missions are concerning Flight Performance or getting the saved Soldiers out of the Huey. But I can't get to the Soldiers in the first place, because I have no clue where to fly. I've set my FM Receiver to 40.50 and switched it into "Home" Mode. But the FM Navigation Instruments always stays centered, so obviously the FM Receiver receives nothing. Finally I used Youtube Videos about this Mission that showed me the Way, but even close to the Soldiers there is no Signal. What am I missing? EDIT: Of course my FM Receiver is also switched on.

Same here. I get to the Point where Ground Air Supply has been actived, and RPM rises to 10%. But then the Starter Button for the left Engine simply does nothing, even when pressed within 10 sec. after last Audio Message from Ground Crew.

Ah OK, I haven't seen these options yet. Looks like I'm already all set up. Thanks!
