alas, i am used to IL2, it's OK there ...

Just been chasing a P51 in some default mission, On my 4k acer gaming monitor the opponent is very hard to spot and there fore i keep losing track. Is there generally a way to improve it's visibility? I have a NVIDIA 4080s GPU.

The sequence seems to be close the Throttle, prress Rshift + L to activate a bunch of switches, press Rshift + Home for engine start. There is some heatup procedure on some temperature gauge to wait for, before you can take off ...

i'll test your suggestions, thanks. ADDED: seems with other planes (non FC?) autostart is under '"Assisit", L-Win+Home ...

IT WORKS.for the Mig15bis FC and F68F FC ! Backup your original config.lua scripts first! The config file with game 2.9.8 is in a different game location however: ...... \DCS World Openbeta\Mods\aircraft\MiG-15bis_FC\FM and .............\DCS World Openbeta\Mods\aircraft\F86_FC\FM F86_FC-config.zip MIG28bis_FC-config.zip

MIG15bis FC on the runway: Starting engine with pulling the Tthothle back, Lshift +L, and then Rshift+Home does seem to work .... if you wait for the 500 degrees on the temperature meter. Lwin+Home does not work for auto start procedure? It's kinda tough to remember this manual selection procedure for all them different planes.

ps, found this on reddit, but cannot find it in the current 9.8 game version FOR THE MIG15bis FC and F86 FC (posted elsewhere too): It's ther for the F15 FC however. ------------------------------- quote: Adjusting the F-15 View shaking guide for those who are interested I've found a way of reducing the shakiness of F-15 like we used to have it back before the PFM was released. I always found it quite annoying to have an earthquake in my cockpit every time I turn at lower speeds Anyways ... for anyone who is interested all you have to do is go to: DCS World/Mods/Flaming Cliffs/FM/F-15/Config.lua At the end of the file there are 2 lines of code -- view shake amplitude minor_shake_ampl = 0.21, major_shake_ampl = 0.5, Those are default values Reducing the numbers to like 0.05 or so will reduce the shaking For example: -- view shake amplitude minor_shake_ampl = 0.08, major_shake_ampl = 0.16,

What do you mean by axis conflicts? Been tuning the overall control setup and testing it sofar only.

Testing the new jets. Spent time adjusting my controllers, but feel like i am riding a mechanic bull instead controlled by someone else lol. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advice is to shoot down as many MIGs as you can. But I keep getting into downward spins instead of getting in to action ... And also how can you turn off that darn camera shaking in cockpit view?

Thanks Max !! 7 sets gun safety permanently it seems, also for other FC planes.

Ah, but the cover flipper says put with the 15bis FC, only saw it moving once or twice now. Guns only fire when it's deactivated. Does not move away when firing with my joystick. Maybe it's some bug?

Now i cannot figure out how to set up key controllers for the safety cover the proper way. Cannot find a separate keybind for it, only these influence the guns. Sometimes the flipper moves, sometimes it does not.

Thanks. So that is why i cannot get it to work as i wish. Up for a sale then LoL.

About the MIG15bis. Is the Flaming cliffs one the same as the separately available one? It seems i cannot create the appropriate ...diff.lua scripts to work ok, like weapon firing and flaps with my warthogt's joystick and throttle buttons. Some keyboard pressings don't work like LCntl_Space for the weapon cover. BTW the Warthog's Joystick Axis controllers work OK but i cannot get the throttle to work yet.though. (not using Quaggles yet, troubleshooting without mods first). BTW this is all since the last update ... before all worked OK. -------------------------------- Has anyone some diff.lua scripts for a Warthog set that work for the MIG15bis?

Now with 2.9.8 ..... is the quaggles tool still valid?

re loading ... must that be done for each one individually?

Hello, i have downloaded the P47D profile, but how do you import it into Streamdeck XL properly? It works as standalone profile There is also some general DCS plugin, and i read somewhere that it must be imported there.

3 years later ... is this usable and useful for Streamdeck XL, 32 buttons?

Well, i ordered one 32XL version ... curious now what it brings. Thankx all .. ADDED: got a warthog set plus crosswinds pedals. Now i am trying to get going for some ww2 planes. Spitfire, BF 109P51, p47, Dora and FW a8, and especially Mosquito But also especially for some helicopters like the Huey, Gazelle, as i don't have a collector hardware stick .. any profiles i could look at? ADDED 2: Got some tips, and the "DCS Input Command Injector by Quaggles" found here: https://github.com/Quaggles/dcs-input-command-injector/releases/tag/1.0.11 seems the way ... ============== ADDED 3: just gotl Streamdeck going for IL2 Great Battles, not tested DCS yet. Very important find was NOT to run it as administrator, it screwed up Windows 10. https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/88858-streamdeck-xl-and-how-to-set-it-up-for-il2/

So what's most useful and or easiest, the 15 button or the 32 XL version? I want to maybe use it for complicated start-up functions for WW2 prop-planes and Helicopters. PS i noticed a lot of DCS user profiles are for the 32 button XL version. Are they maybe easy to convert for the 15 button Stream Deck?

Is there a way to increase the fonts and icon sizes in the Mission Editor? I have a 4k monitor, and often use the *.item.exe.manifest windows trick, but you'll need a specific MissionEditor.exe file for that.
