I'm sure that had something to do with it. I swapped controls from my Winwing F-18 HOTAS setup to my Winwing F-16C setup to fly the Viper and something in there went crazy. I still don't know what exactly, but she hums like before now. Thanks!

Ah, I see. I thought the servers had that capability!

I'm a bit confused. In the ME, as @fagulhasaid, you can change the entire helmet, cosmetically! That squares it up to 2 different ways to have it off, the switch and not mounted at all.

The issue has been reported and fixed internally. No need for insults.

I served from 1997 to 2018, how about yourself? Yes, it is hard to get others to understand some things. No stars and no moon sometimes. I do think that the small boys in DCS are a little too bright at night.

You'd be surprised at how many do not like a challenge! Looking at the DCS picture, the deck would still be illuminated without the unnatural backlighting. Overall, it appears to be an overdone light effect. I hope they fix this someday. I was a yellow shirt for 20 years. You cannot see the hull number at night...unless you look really hard and squint. And you can barely see the island from the bow. The shadows and lighting sometimes drown a lot out. The further up the bow you go, the darker it gets. I had to lift my googles to put a bird on CAT 1 or 2. But I'm preaching to the choir here!

I will check and produce a track.

I have this problem. I hot start, everything is already on yet, my INS drops out of alignment. I see the VV in the briefing screen but as soon as I hit START, I lose INS. I get an associated WARN caution in the HUD as well. Everything is on but there's no VV and my DED which had radio info read's: INS INFLT ALGN COMPASS HDG *** FIX NECSSARY And this occurs at the start of every mission, airborne or not! If I recall, that didn't happen before. Am I doing something wrong? Inflight should already be good to go without me influencing in a hot start scenario, or so I thought. Some advice would be greatly appreciated.

Same here! Was going through final checks when I heard an explosion. Had to taxi past the wreckage...wild!

I agree that the DCS carriers' Island lights are incorrect. Definitely better than pre-Super Carrier though! Just a quick note, the light pattern used for launches are not the same for recoveries at night. I imagine it might be difficult for ED to simulate this. When the launch concludes, the Air Boss or Mini (can't remember which) will call to his sailors to rig the lights. We had a cheat sheet for it as it was kind of complex. Also, the rotating beacons are missing. Should be a (working) set forward of the island, amidships and aft.

USMC F/A-18C ops out of Kandahar it is. This will be fun!

Will do. And thank you. I really appreciate it!

Cool. Thank you! Would the angle adapter base be a thing or is that overkill? None of the grips are available so I'm thinking of purchasing the base and dusting off my TMWH grip. I understand what you said about the programming. Probably why they are never in stock. Must be good equipment!
