  1. Since dcs 2.9.2.49940 when i join a mission dcs crashes. Before the update everything worked fine. This describes my problem:
  2. Hi NineLine. >> There should be no talk of current affairs or geopolitics. 100% agree. I find using certain national flag(s) as profiule pics inappropriate and provocative given the current geopolitical situation. In current times anyone can be offended by anything: flags, COVID-19 vaccinations for/against, LHQBT for/against etc etc . Its a minefield. To be consistent my suggestion is: no national flags or nationalist symbols on the forum. DCS can be a 100% neutral place where real-life at war enemys can interact on common neutral interests and have a fun time together -- without even knowing its your real life ortal enemy. My personal experience: One may discover you share many many more commonalities / interrests with the mortal enemy than you'd care to admit. Imagine using the Z of the Zorro-movies on my profile. Someone else uses whatever-controversial flag/symbol/picture whatnot. Since we cant agree on The Truth lets keep The Truth on Telegram-groups but not here. Readup on UN Resolution 3314. Where is the line drawn of whats acceptable and not? I trust the judgement of siteadmins to enforce the rules without prejudice, without conviction, consistent and equally: either everyone gets to post Z+Ukraine, Azerbaidjan+Armenia, Afrikaner geopolitcal view resulting in chaos, or nobody. Allowing an UA flag while banning Z is inconsitent. Either allow both, or none. To prove a point. I've changed my profile pic to the Zorro-movie logo . That was my €0,01 contribution.
  3. Dear siteadmins. Please act on users expressing their geopolitical view for example, having a certain country' flag as profile picture as per 24-Feb-2022. At present time having a flag as profile pic is a unnecasary provocation. I consider DCS - a neutral safe democratic forum for everyone from all (geo) political views - to talk about DCS & flying. - No geopolitics - No provocations by using flags as profile pics Even if a geopolitical view is radically differnt than someone else, one can find common ground in hobbies, love&affection, and mannny other topics. And myself having experienced 3 radically different language-cultures: African, Asian & EU cultures my conclusion is: we are very much alike in many things. Thanks & safe flying.
  4. Same here, right X-axis failure, and left Z-axis only moves from 50% to 100%. Failure was after <>336 hours of use. I've got some hobby electronics experience & test equipment and will look into this. If there is a hall sensor, whats the voltage? I've got a Rigol scope and will investigate too.
  5. The Ka-50 III - Missile warning dispenses flares when a Mi-24P launches Ataka & Shturm, even when the Mi-24P is like >=12kms away. This happens especially on multiplayer servers. Is it "normal" intended behaviour?
  6. SOLVED. The solution was as described below . In the AI Helper menu I forgot the button assignments for up, down, right and left. Now it works just like the Warthog stick. Thanks!
  7. I want switches exactly like those on the Winwing Orion HOTAS. As a hobbyist I have a collection of SPDT on/off switches, and potmeters (10k, 100k etc) for various home automation stuff. Where on AliExpress can one buy; - 3-position switches which can have 3x key assignments - Clickety Rotary Encoders which can assign 2x key assignments - Momentary 2 position, used in the F-18C Flight Panel for the CRS-adjustment To be precise: those on the Winwing Orion HOTAS. Can anyone recommend a Aliexpress seller? null See attached example: the usual SPDT switch on-off
  8. I love the light rumble effect. I spend 11 years with a HOTAS Warthog stick and mostly fly the Ka-50 and JF-17 in VR on my HP Reverb G2. In the Ka-50 you can "feel" turns and the Vortex Ring of Death is get it shakey Having never flown a real heli, I wont know if this effect is real. But, it adds to the immersion. Rumble is definitely useful.
  9. I just received my Orion 2 EX flightstick the George / Petrovich. The cycle target from list is not working. My Winwing Orion 2 EX button assignment Mi-24P Function Keypress Winwing Button Show AI Petrovich X-hair LCTRL+V SHORT (left) Button 35 Designate / target cursor up « W » SHORT (up) Button 32 target cursor down « W » SHORT (down) Button 34 select designated target from list « D » SHORT (RIGHT) Button 33 - Show AI petrovich X-hair -- Button 35 - Designate/select cycle up - Button 32 - Select cycle down - Button 34 - « D » SHORT (RIGHT) The button assignments corresponds exactly to my Warthog flightstick, mapped to the "TMS" -buttons, which when I show petrocich, then designate using the X-hair it shows me the targetlist which i can scroll using the TMS-buttons, fine.. But doing a select just does nothing, as if the Winwing button wasnt pressed. Any ideas..? (see screenshot, from Chuck' Guide) null
  10. I looove the Jeff. Functional and weapons payload its in some respects equal, or better than the F-16C. Adding the Hlemet mounted Cuing system will make complete it. Those SD-10s can do some weeeeeird turning sh*t.
  11. Can a server running SRS co-exist with ED's Voice Chat? When someone transmits (having SRS installed & connected), does that overrule DCS Voice Chat, or ignores it, or does the radio transmission goes to both SRC & Voice chat? Since flying online I've never, ever heard anyone talking on Voice Chat. Those servers also runs SRS. I mostly fly the JF-17 and tuned to the assigned AWACS/JTAC channel and never hear anyone talking. Could be that there is noone talking, or I'm not in the correct DCS Voice Chat Room.
  12. Done. Okt-1982. The 1980s Suid-Afrikaanse Lugmag (South African Airforce) Mirage F1s engaged multiple times with MiG-21s and MiG-23s in Angola Suid-Afrikaanse Lugmag. Done. 27-Sep-1987. https://saafmuseum.org.za/arthur-d-piercy-27th-september-1987/ Static display, Brakpan Vliegveld, Apr-2022.
  13. I've installed my Combat Ready & Flight panels. However, they do not sync to DCS. Is that normal? In SimAPP I chose option "sync" however no changes were made in export.lua. Therefore, I had to manually add the each button/switch/dial to the F-18, and other aircraft. Not a big deal. Aside from that, both panels are working fine and happy customer. Winwing combat ready panel Does it sync, does SimAPP make an export.lua? Can it be used without defining each button press in DCS?
  14. I *love* the JF-17. Its been my favourite plane since release. I prefer it even above the F-16C Some questions regarding the C-802AK anti-ship missile; 1. When in coordinates mode (pre-planned) is it possible to copy it from the Destinations, instead of manually keying it in? 2. Does the missile go active at the given coordinates? 3. How far away from the coordinates does the missile go active, ? 4. Specifying its cruise height to HIGH does something weird when I fly <>20,000ft: the missile lofts into near-space and dont come down to hit the target. Looks like my ownship altitude influences the height-setting.
