Generally indicating a Key function currently set for a UI task, Go to the drop down menu currently displaying "SA 342 Pilot" and scroll up to the very top which is UI and it will display all keys currently reserved by UI and allow you to either select another key or continue as you wish, however this may well making these changes universal as the UI standardizes certain throughout all aircraft.

Update your Graphics Card Driver

To my mind, the greatest advantage of the "Anton" lies in the resilience of the power unit. Rotary power units can withstand huge damage without being shut down, whereas a conventional linier engine design is pretty much rendered self-destructive scrap by the penetration of any one cylinder which results in piston movement limitation, having the potential to destroy crank and cam journals instantly. However, if a "Dora" pilot fails to use his power availability to avoid such combat damage, he deserves to die in a fiery, smoking heap. All the Anton pilot should be able to is wave him good-bye

Firstly, just read your post, but am several months since you wrote it, (now 11 May 2023) Second, what computer O?S are you on? Third, If you still need help, read on, In DCS, perhaps the most popular method requires 2 (or three) separate programs, vJoy or Virtual Joystick (only the programs drivers are actually needed, other than having access to the program to do an initial configuration taking all of 20 seconds. (however, in you use Win 11 you may not be able to open the program up, hence the second question). I could, until a very recent crash which resulted in a Win 11 reload and my no longer having the ability read vJoy The second program is titled Joystick Gremlin which is the program with which you access and control the key changes. Then, the third program called HidHide (if you choose to use it) which limits the visibility of what is happening in the system, to the system. As far as the vJoy issue is concerned, I am just in the process of trying an alternative program called RSMapper to be used instead of the "Holy Trinity" mentioned above. Let me know how you are doing. Regards Todd Down.

I think a number of the comments above are from people who have never considered or even used these apps, but feel obligated to justify their stance. My take on this 3rd Party functionality is that you produce a profile to control one aircraft, then compare others and amend differences between the comparators (i.e the different approaches to sensor and weapons controls between F16 with long and short duration button activation, and the F18 with pre determined key results based on which other sensors are also involved, by mapping them to the keyboard using Vjoy then link the keyboard back to the HID controllers using Joystick Gremlin and emulating the original Aircraft control setup. The comment about only being limited in the number aircraft you could control, is again not too bright. You can store profiles foe every aircraft that you have and load them in by selecting the profile needed, press the activate button on the profile and then start the A/C wanted, and that is it, done. Also, the user can increase the number of available keys and buttons by, for example, creating specific modes, say for NAV, ACM and A/G etc. and reusing keys employed in the other modes There are some very interesting tutorials on YouTube, done by HavocCompanyClan, utilizing these concept. I will not dispute that this is a time consuming process, but if you host more than 10 Aircraft, in, say, DCS it could pay dividends in the long term. should your S/Ware get messed up, just take out the profiles from where stored and it is returned in seconds.

Thank you very much for the time and effort given to produce a great product. I am very much indebted

Start DCS DCS Missions / Options (Gearwheel Icon on Task Bar) Select "Gameplay" Tab Column Headed NATO Top right of tab screen Second Item Avionics Language - Select required a. Native (the language of the country of origin of the Aircraft) b. English (Not known if this changes with the O/S or DCS Country of purchase language). Third Item Measurement system as required (Most primary flight gauge scales and readouts are set by selection) a. Metric b. Imperial These settings are not specific to a type of aircraft, and stay extant until the user decides to change them Very Simple and takes seconds to implement. No scripts required difficult to mess up!!

Lots of good tutorials on You tube. The 50MC3 throttle has huge potential, with 5 modes, and for each mode, you can map all of the buttons on the throttle, but that means taking it out of the factory default. But if you save a copy of the Factory setting, you can export different profiles to file and then change to any one of them in then in less than a minute. I've had mine for 10 days and am still working through what is available to learn on YT. Thoroughly impressed

I understand that VJoy is required to allow Joystick Gremlin to interface with Windows O/S, for my newly acquired Virpil 50MC3 Throttle to allow customization of up to 128 button options, but is it required to function in the DCS Options screen when setting up control functions? I experimented with an "Eye" tracker" a couple of years ago, which also required VJoy, and it duplicated all of the axis functions and caused lots of issues, so in the end I took it out of the options, and everything seemed to be fine. But unfortunately I know very little about using it with this throttle, other than the YouTube Tutorials, which are making my head hurt, and thus far, this has not been mentioned. Any advice greatly appreciated. As an after thought, a word of advise to any one planning to get this throttle system, It is a superbly produced article, but this is not something that you take out of the box, plug in, and have a great experience. I've had mine for 10 days, and am really just starting to understand the process of building up the configuration, including macros etc. but I am finding it tough going, I would suggest, that if you have throttle, stick and rudder pedals in a semi permanent set up, keep the CM3 on the desk top, work on it, then when the information becomes difficult to absorb, put it down and go flying until configuration is complete - I do wish I had followed my own advice!

I've got similar problems, my Warthog Stick, Throttles and Rudder Pedals function in the Windows Test and Calibrations app. If I Try to Run DCS Aircraft Modules, if I set up mapping, I see the indicator (white) bars show the correct movement and any axis tuning if applied. But when I get into the cockpit, TrackIR is good, but none of the virtual stick, throttle or pedal functions are functional. At this point, it appears to be across the board and not specific to a particular Aircraft, Map or to DCS world or world Open beta. I have used DCS since the only aircraft they had was the A-10, I have most of the A/C they have released, I have had my TM Warthog HOTAS for 2+ years and I am totally at a loss with this. TM tech support seems to work on Gallic Flair and no time pressure. Help needed!

Many Thanks, much appreciated

Been away from DCS for 12 months, now (November 2021) finding the same missing data panel issue mentioned in this thread.. I am trying to learn the NS430 system and was hoping to compile a manual list Airfield ID Codes for ease of data entry, this is not helping my cunning plan!

I have tested my TMWH HOTAS and T Rudder setup Using control Panel/Devices & Printers, ( R click on either Hotas unit select Game controller settings, and then item to test or calibrate then follow instructions displayed. All good so far, TMWH is talking to my computer. However, once I start DCS, only Pitch, Roll and Yaw respond. I have mapped and remapped the keys but nothing seems to work. Track IR is fine and happily mapped, When moving Throttle and RPM settings they appear to be moving the rudder pedals and no other Axes or key mapping works, I have spent the last 3 days trying to resolve this and am lost as to what to try, I have swapped USBs into different slots with no change, and re booted more times than enough. (just realized I have not tried swapping into my USB hub. Wait out, I will try, and come back to this regardless of what happens

It will bounce if you cut power. Keeping a small amount of power on without stopping it sinking does tend to reduce the probability of a bounce same for the P51.

Based on a Standard Recovery Circuit. See P47 D Flight Manual diagram showing Key heights and speeds. Get trim correct and constantly correct it. Set RPM at 2550 RPM and do not touch it again. Keep speed at 150/160 MPH, don't initiate a turn at less than 130 MPH a stall is highly predicted outcome. Turn Finals 800/1000ft Full flaps, establish descent speed 115/120, IAS, Keep beginning of the threshold aligned with Gunsite glass lower edge. Throttle to about 12/13 indicated. Fly the A/C down to 200ft and level out smoothly. pull up to correct attitude and let it fly on. Do not cut all power as that will encourage bouncing. Watch the video by The Warsimmer Landing the P51D Mustang. ( ) The only difference is really what Throttle you set at each stage of the evolution. Good Luck

Anyone any thoughts on raising flaps once on ground run to improve brake efficiency as flaps (other than Spitfire) reduce down force?

Following what appeared to be corruption issues, I decided to do a clean install of both DCS World and Open Beta. DCS World took nearly 6 hrs plus the time for Maps, Modules and Campaigns probably another 6 hrs. Just looked at D/Ling Open Beta and that (complete with all modules) is shown as 152284 MB/s which, at 2.7 MB/s is over 15 hrs. As I currently do not have any Early access modules, is it really worth running both versions?

I have tried to place a kneeboard in my P-51D. When I select it It comes up with the local Map (i.e. Normandy) but the pages I want are not visible. When I have searched for this map, in order to add my pages, I cannot find it. Logic says it should be in Bazaar/Terrains, yet when I open the DCS world/ Bazaar, I do not see a Terrain file. When I check Saved games /DCS/ etc. Not there either. Anyone know where it is located?

Thanks to Tucano_uy, I read a number of posts before adding my own post describing my similar issue. When I was trying to run it again, after posting, I checked, and low and behold, my mixture was set incorrectly. I ran the mission with it then set to "Run"and got through 20K and 25 and 30K without any problems. However I was so pleased, I got turned about in the cloud and flew into a mountain - Some days are diamonds, some days are stones....:(

I am also having issues reaching the 20K gate Same values as captain Orso (2.7K rpm and 45-55 Hg. I am fine up to the 10K gate, I then set trim to try to maintain a rate of climb between 0.5 and 1 vsi, again ok for another 4K, but even with the Supercharger, beyond 16K I am finding it almost impossible to achieve a positive rate of climb without stalling out. Driving me crazy.

Hi Zaelu, the truth of your comment is, unfortunately defined by the issues that many may find trying to set up snap views if they (like myself) use TrackIR. As, generally, in this instance snap views SUCK.

I am seeing some progress, but am finding that as soon as I set up a snap view, TrackIR is disabled. I have seen conflicting statements stating that TrackIR should be off or disabled when creating snap views and conversely, TrackIR need not be disabled. Either way, I am finding that If I set up a snap view, Trackir performance is either: a. non functioning, or b. Functioning, but with very limited arcs of vision, any advice or information would be gratefully received. Thanks TD

Ahhh, I see a light in the tunnel! Thank you for your support and patience. Just to recap, I should not amend the file view.lua, UseDefaultSnapViews from true to false, this function is now covered by the Option/Misc. Option Allow user views saving. I have a printout of the the process and keys to use and am comfortable with them, but for what ever reason, the config file in saved games did not appear to update and so I was going around chasing my fundamental orifice (I'm not stupid or lazy, just getting old). And I should be able to avoid a repeat performance. Again, many thanks TD

Having tried all that I could get, by way of attempting to customize my snap views, I finally ended up such that on opening my A10c Module, my view is vertically down, with very little control function to lift to a normal forward view. I had previously set up my F1 key in Trackir to provide my centred view, and hey,this no longer works. Finally, in frustration I uninstalled DCS world and DCS World (Open Beta) completely and have just spent the last 2 days reloading everything, and, guess what, when I opened my A10c, the view is still that of my ejector seat pan.............. Why is DCS so good in what it promises and so poor at delivering on those promises. I had thought that by completely uninstalling and re installing both DCS Worlds (normal and open beta) that this would provide a default "fresh start" but no, Just Sierra Squared Delta Squared. I just start to wonder if I need this crap any time I want to fly a module in the sim.

I will try as you say, but below is an extract from Eagle Dynamics ru wiki instruction If this is incorrect, perhaps this is why so many are having trouble with snap views. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1588647&postcount=17)! By default, in DCS A-10C, DCS Black Shark 2 and DCS World, customisation of snap views is disabled. To enable it you must alter one line in one of the LUA files, as follows: In the DCS A-10C or DCS Black Shark 2 installation folder, then folder config, then folder view, find file View.lua Look for the line (about 50 lines down): UseDefaultSnapViews = true and change it to UseDefaultSnapViews = false Next time you start the simulation, snap-view customisation will be possible.
