I moved it and it seems to work for my personal home made missions, i could not find in the past; you helped me out with that a few weeks ago?

With the oncoming 2.9 version i consider of doing a complete new installation, not on drive C:\, that's just too small. As such separated from the NEW main game folder i'll create a SavedGames folder, ALL folders on my DCS game drive. Now with all that confusion for me and the important stuff to put there i could use some tips how to organize it properly. Especially regarding my missions and all the liveries ... BTW i prefer JSGME over that newer OVGME version, latter confuses me too much. (I have a backup separate 'DCS settings and Profiles' folder with backups for my controllers i also want to keep on using).

thanks, checked it out, nope. just ran a test set as flyover takeoff start, then it crashes in to the ground. When i remove the player function it flies OK. just noticed a j88a4 set to takeoff hot on runway it stays put with engines running. flyover works OK though for that junkers. I did a full repair yesterday, guess the game files are OK, isn't there some bat installer file for the spitfire? PS i noticed gameflight mode was on again ... again the culprit ... fixed!

Yep, but i miss the c47 and how it's organized there LoL. In my F:\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries folder there's only a Bf-109K-4 folder

Now i am lazy probably, sorry. After a few tests with the Spitfire as player with a new mission i am building i just get fed up with all this startup tinkering at each new test. I set the player spit plane on Takeoff From Runway, and also Takeoff from Parking HOT,: it starts with the engine running OK, but then switches off. Then you have to do all the startup procedures again. Windows-Home gives you the autostart, but that also eats up my patience quickly, even when you set TimeScale to 8x. Now is there a fix for this? Or some cleverly made mod ? BTW the nose down trim wheel works, but nothing happens; a bug? --------------------------------- What i really also miss is an auto pilot function, so that a spitfire set as player follows it's waypoints automatically for mission checking, just to give me the time opportunity watching other mission objects.

Hi, got a newly made mission that hangs on loading into the game. i don't use mods, i did a full repair, .... is there a check mission function in the ME maybe? ADDED I just started the mission from within the editor and it runs ! BTW in Il2 in such cases i save all mission items as a group, and reload that in a new map scenery; that usually fixes it.

good tip!

Hi, dunno where to post this. I exchanged my ole Saitek pedals for a Crosswind v3 set. Stupid question?: Is there a way to simplify tuning the new ones, or even use the old settings straight away, etc as i have many pedal profiles tuned for my Saitek set. Default for general the Croswind v2_3 driver autoloads Axis Pitch JOY_Y, Roll JOY_X, Rudder JOY_RZ ... now there's something wrong already!

Well i must confess i gave up quite a while back on fiddling around with helicopters also as i have no collector USB stick etc, and maybe lazy to fiddle around that with my warthog and saitek pedals. Helicopters was why i bought DCS in the first place BTW. I was used to the Mosquito in IL2 and it's quite easier to control there. The DCS version of it is great, but the gaming fun is quite less as it's quite more complicated to handle as it's now. That is with a lot of DCS stuff; f.i. tried the F15C in a standard DCS mission just out of curiosity; couldn't even get it started in some automated take off mode just to see what the mission looked like in an automated demo show. Me being too lazy to figure it out for now, so i rather spend my sparse time on other & easier planes etc. Or the ME LoL.

Howzabout some Torpedos for WW2 aircraft? Any plans? It's a great sport with the mods made by LizLemon and CountZero adaptations in IL2 Sturmovik GB. ADDED: torpedo mods in IL2 now no longer work since the IL2 5.201 update (and some before), it really sucks LoL.

i had some issues due backlight disturbance ..

Stupid question fro me again, but how can you download it from there?

Well y'all got me curious ... created a new Marianas Map ww2 tester mission, set the date to june 1944 ... Marianas WW2-test01.miz Guess i am doing something wrong? It does not look much like ww2 .. (blue circles):

I used to have Game FM on but only recently switched it off. Guess i made profiles with it on .... Mosquito profile i indeed imported from the Spit. I guess you are right, i defaulted all Mosquito controls and the autostart sequence is no longer present .. I defaulted and reloaded control settings for each control unit: the bug is in my Warthog throttle file it seems ! And th weird thing is that it automatically has disappeared from the Spit and P51D it was present too after i set the throttle axis and buttons to my liking new, but only done for the Mosquito .... Marked this as solved, but also by MAXsenna ...

Nope, always used OpenBeta ... like diving dangerously LoL BUT THAT FIXED it ! ... however when i re-imported my controller settings from the backups above the autostart sequence was active again. PS renaming that scripts file did not solve it, and you'll need to do a quick repair aftar that to reinstall it. I have the Spitfire and the PD51 both i'll behaving the same (autostart always on) But for each plane there are two input files i don't get the why of it:

Hi Max, thanks. Just saw it, been troubleshooting the Mosquito with other issues for a while, but i will look into this later. Confusing, now where's that frigging autostart buggin' me ... just committed a repair, it's still the same. can it be this in that config folder in the file options.lua, ["ground_engine_autostart"] is set to true; see pic: ------------------------------ BTW that whole saved games stuff in DCS, i wish there was a clearer system here or even 3rd party tool for the lot. Good tip on the backups, never realized this

Warthog set .. ----------------------------------- Terry thanks, must get some microphone then first ... but i don't have VR, only TrackIR.

Hi Terry. just bought it, but setting key, in my case G, for a gear up sequence is blanked out and no input reaction .. PS i dont have VAICOM nor a microphone set up on my PC. Anyway me as old fool cannot make any sense of the manuals instructions how f.i. set up G to toggle the mosquito's gear left and right to UP or Down.

No symlinks, scout's honor. Been doing this since i started with DCS 3 years ago ..

Not that i can find, but I have my profiles in a separate folder on my F-SSD drive for Games, named 'DCS settings and profiles'. Always worked that way LoL.

yep, and also with carefully configured control settings for other planes like Spitfire etc., that worked OK before without autostart, and now autostart defaults all of a sudden always ... You can't stop it with Lwin + Home, you just have to wait it out ...

I have not used it so far, as i don't have VR. But i found the Mosquito needs a lot of roll and pitch trimming after take off. Is there a way to save those settings? Also some settings like simplifying radiator cowl flaps both with one key button or better auto functioning, and get the landing gear up and down with just one simple button press like G. Tried fiddling the control settings but there seems no easy way out.

Since i installed the Mosquito the L-Win + Home autostart sequence is always on. Also when i start another ww2 plane AND the Christen Eagle. So in general active at game start it seems. How can you switch that off? It's not with f.i helicopters, Su_25T BTW

Stuff like this fiddling makes using this great plane a lot less fun, it's also the reason i almost never use the helicopters i bought DCS for in the first place.
