Deadlift

Thanks yeah I also just found that in the other thread!

Tested this also after an internal dispute on discord. It seems all the payload restriction setting does atm is not allow you to put the harms on station 4 & 6 (if switched off). But if you do, they still dont register.

I provided the solution to the problem, you debated if I was able to refuel properly, if that is your way of being helpful.... whatever I guess... If no one else has this issue, great.

It was up to 100% before I started auto start. I'll stop posting now, the macro filechange fixed it, and I dont feel discussing if I am able to refuel properly

As you may or may not see in the track file, I did refuel before doing this. It is not that, especially since I can clearly see the issue in the macro....

here you go, sorry verify took a while longer autostart_failed.trk

I can create one a sec, currently running a verify files if I have an outdated file.

For me it didn't in any cold start mission because it was asking for the status of the engine way too quickly.

To solve, in file: .Steam\SteamApps\common\DCSWorld\Mods\aircraft\Mi-24P\Cockpit\Scripts\Macro_sequencies.lua (no clue where it is in standalone, but should be easy to find) Find passage: push_start_command(0.1,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action = engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_Select, value = 1.0, check_condition = COLLECTIVE}) push_start_command(0.1,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action = engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 1.0, message = _("LEFT ENGINE START"), message_timeout = std_message_timeout}) push_start_command(1.0,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action = engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 0.0}) push_start_command(55.0,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action = engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_Select, value = 0.0, check_condition = LEFT_ENGINE_START_FAULT}) push_start_command(0.1,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action = engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 1.0, message = _("RIGHT ENGINE START"), message_timeout = std_message_timeout}) push_start_command(1.0,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action = engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 0.0}) Replace with: push_start_command(0.1,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action = engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_Select, value = 1.0, check_condition = COLLECTIVE}) push_start_command(0.1,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action = engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 1.0, message = _("LEFT ENGINE START"), message_timeout = std_message_timeout}) push_start_command(25.0,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action = engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 0.0}) push_start_command(55.0,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action = engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_Select, value = 0.0, check_condition = LEFT_ENGINE_START_FAULT}) push_start_command(0.1,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action = engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 1.0, message = _("RIGHT ENGINE START"), message_timeout = std_message_timeout}) push_start_command(25.0,{device = devices.ENGINE_INTERFACE,action = engine_commands.STARTUP_Engine_StartUp, value = 0.0}) Happy hunting lazy people (like me). Note this may not pass server checks until ED can fix it in the delivered file. Likely smaller values work too, but this was at least consistent with how I do it manually too. If we don't do this here, I'm sorry.

Found your post already, thanks. Do you have any collective recos or do you fly warthog yourself?

Stumbled over them aswell, and did shoot them a message... not for the end consumer market sadly... So... we stuck with komodo till virpil is done?

Just to be sure, I know its currently not doable, but one can dream. ;) If it would be doable, I'd also be very happy if this is a separate model to the A/B and costs extra. The level of detail and overall quality we got from heatblur by now just would make me want that model even more.

You seem to have an amazing team, and I couldn't think of someone more suited to bring this to DCS than yourself! I am so very much looking forward to this! Glück Ab, Kamerad. ;)

You are so very welcome, glad that works. Might help more people then!

Is it a new WarBRD base? I had to switch to the most recent test release(05.11.) to get it to properly update to the respective firmware and recognize the VFX grip properly.

An axis would be amazing ! Thanks for at least considering it =) Agreed, that kills immersion even faster for me than the controllers, especially since I got to "aim" very close with my head for it to work consistently

Well yes actually once I taxi'd to the respective cat. This applies to cold start only, you cant use auto at that point as the handle cover is still open and the wings are swept to parking position. Got to manually pop out the handle, push it all the way forward, and snap it back in, then close the cover, press master reset and THEN auto works. Gloves yes... or that finger pointing device I've seen here. A while I guess since all glove systems seem to suck still.

I do have the warthog combi and pedals yes, however I use the controller to click anything I havent bound. That works for 99% of the stuff, but obviously not the wingsweep handle. (actually makes it quite immersive using the controller in addition)

I.... Never thought to axctually use the mouse if I have VR controllers. That got it to work even though you gotta activate mouse first and no VR controllers can be active or the mouse input wont work. That isn't very intuitive tbh. THANKS !

Can somebody please explain to me how to operate the wingsweep handle in VR? Now I get how it is supposed to function on startup, I just cant even operate that damn handle at all. Neither any VR controller nor any combination of mouse and headset crosshair will either make it move, pop out in or move the thing. I have bound both cover up down to hotas, all modes aft/forward/bomb/auto to hotas yet the thing will just not move at all... I am at a loss this literally kills me doing any cold start atm.

They are very active in the discords, timezone differences obviously... Maybe they just dont know every forum nook and cranny yet?

How is the weapon selector, I heard from some that it needed to hard a push resulting in it actually popping to SW already? Mine will get delivered... eventually T_T

Do a quick search on Subpac S2, basically a subwoofer you strap on the chair that hits your back. Works perfectly in DCS especially on afterburner.

Do you actually STT lock when you go guns? The locked diamond and pipper makes it so much easier than pure RTGS mode. Keeping the pipper in a steady lead pursuit is something you just need to keep training. DLC can help(though in dogfight really unreasonable to use ;) ), it also makes a difference if you have the plane trimmed out correctly especially if you go into dogfight and have fired missiles before etc.
