    True, but as DCS noob i am still fighting the controller lay outing for various planes for my warthog system without pedals, as i am used to IL2 sturmovik GB, and DCS defaults totally different. Like i want to set certain things up for all planes at once which seems impossible: Example keyboard G for gear toggle, F4 for arcade chase view, instead of the default ShiftL-F4. Assign Flaps and Autopilot to my Throttle unit that's marked there as such. There's also an APU button which might be handy if you can address several engine start functions at once even.

    What brand kind of hardware do you use, i am still fighting the controller lay outing for various planes for my warthog system without pedals.

    I only see 2 items, no fuel lever IIRC, but 'fuel lever flow forward' and 'fuel lever flow backward'... but i found an axis for 'fuel flow lever'

    Is there a PDF somewhere?

    I really appreciate the efforts of making instructional videos,thanks and compliments etc. But is there a PDF manual somewhere? Video manuals are IMO very time consuming, and if you only need one little information piece, a drag to find it. Making a good PDF is a lot of work, but i would be willing to pay for it ... you can put that on a kneeboard tablet too LoL.

    That's it. Now how can you increase the display size? I did that for the in game message box .. with a 4k monitor i need a magnifying glass .. It shows up in Cockpit view, but you have to keep activating it again for chase view where it's needed most. Game-speed settings are not shown also ...

    Ahh, thanks ..

    A better name is Speed Bar ... FPS counter: Alas I don't have geoforce experience installed on purpose ...

    After messing with control options for the about 5 planes i'd like to try i get really annoyed by the amount of work involved. this as i have other flight sims with setups i am used to, and they default completely different in DCS. For each plane you have to adapt general items as Roll, Pitch, Rudder, Throttle, Flaps, Gear up. That INDIVIDUALLY for things that should be quite general stuff. And must be done as my warthog throttle defaults the throttle to the roll parameter too; the DCS warthog setup is simply faulty. Isn't there a 3rd party options programming tool to simplify these matters?

    That worked !

    A general Speed Bar for airspeed, compass, height and Time Scale .... Can you get them to show up in the main game view? And how can you get rid of that friggin' FPS frame counter in the upper right corner, probably set by NVDIA ..

    PS i got the Gazelle as well, but where's the throttle setting? Is that called Gain Button maybe?

    PS can someone explain what a cyclic vs collective control is? I have a Warthog set ... Sorry, but i am new to helicopters, and they were the reason for me to finally buy DCS a few days ago ..

    Thanks, i can read german, a little french, but spanish is new to me . But it woked ... I understand it's for all saved games?

    NOOB question: where do you put the MIZ files? Create a folder somewhere as i want my C boot a empty as possible.?

    Trying to get the hang of a Hueyit too, and it seems there's no way you can set an off-center neutral point with the DCS axis controls software settings.. I hate TARGET, but maybe there's some scripting expert who can dive into that ? Or better, a MODDED lua script file for DCS warthog joystick profile ...

    Thanks all, i am slowly getting the Hang of a Huey. BTW found this, model helicopters, nevertheless some info: https://www.rc-airplane-world.com/rc-helicopter-controls.html

    I have a modded Warthog Throttle, with a well working axis function (Deltasim electronics in the UK i think) i use for rudder in different flight sims OK. But i found out just now how to fine tune the axis movements ... PS i just looked at the mission editor, i am used to make missions for IL2, but this one is quite different LoL.

    Wanted just to do some simple map exploration ... Starting with a Huey was not the best idea me thinks .... it felt like riding a mechanical bull at a Cowboy Fiesta; so far successful only once in take off and landing OK, but in most cases it ended like this: So i thought lets take it easy, with this 13 $$ baby for some reconnaissance, but even that one was tough shit even after fine tuning the axis controllers ..

    PS is there a way to enlarge/scale this MAIN options box about 1.5x ONLY for a 4k monitor?
  21. jackd
    Sorry to say, but after buying stuff through steam and several issues with steam i simply stopped buying any thing anymore there. I stick to companies that maintain their own buying and licensing options. Even re-bought IL2 sturmovik GB again on a sale because of that.
  22. jackd
    i found it ...
  23. jackd
    I found it, thanks, but the items in your yellow box to do with message box scaling, i cannot change it seems. ADDED: i found it, should be done from the main menu ... IT WORKS! thanks!
  24. jackd
    i was joking, sorry ..
  25. jackd
    nope, i'll look into that, what's it called? i set the font size to 20 in the lua script file, but the whole box disappears then LoL ..
