Would it be possible to have the helmet display knob turned on by default for a hot start aircraft? Every mission that starts hot in the air you need to move your throttle out of the way and turn the knob. The auto start procedure turns it on so it’s a bit weird that it is off when starting in the air. Small gripe but hopefully not a big deal to look at.

Since this was bumped for me, any progress on on this WIP component (auto bore tracking of the helmet sight)? I see that the last patched fixed a bunch of ACM issues, so thank you for that!

Looks like awesome work. Searched through the thread but didn't find anything regarding a specific question: what masksize are people using for the reverb?

Yup bore symbology should disappear. Also right now breaking lock with tms down doesn’t return to no rad as it should but goes straight to vertical scan mode (and immediately relocks the target).

Thanks as always, Wags. Any news of having the radar follow the HMCS boresite without having to TMS Up continually for a lock?

Total noob question from me since I just picked up a rift s as my first VR headset. Which version of DCS should I be launching? I own the steam version of DCS, so do I: 1. Launch Oculus Home and launch the plain DCS World? 2. Launch Steam VR and select DCS world for Steam VR? 3. Launch Steam VR and select the second VR option (Steam VR for 2.5 DCS World is what I believe it is called?) A bit confusing to me since owning the Steam version causes so many layers of software to be running.

Agree as well here, and one quick thing to add. TMS Left has the same bug/issue. When needed to hold it to do an IFF along the cursor line it also waits until you release, where it should activate after a small delay like you guys are describing.

Can you actually get the behavior you describe to work? I just tried it and it doesn't change the mode, even while depressed. The button has no effect at all right now.

@Nineline, looks like uncaging still isn't working with the latest build, just confirming?

Is there work being done to make the Enable button on the throttle cycle between bore and slave modes as described in the manual? Right now when the enable button is bound, it does not perform this action, you have to use the OSBs.

A lot of the training missions are on maps other than the Caucuses. I had the same impression until I bought Nevada and the Persian Gulf.

Got it thanks, that makes sense for a WIP component. It was just confusing as the it's different now than the other ACM and auto acquisition modes.

Awesome! Also might be worth ensuring the radar recenters if turning off or blanking the helmet display :).

@Nineline, could you guys take a look at this issue and see if it agrees with the above cause?

I have the same issue. It actually happens with most of the ACM modes, most frequently after the initial lock is broken or canceled. Getting a re-acquisition is unreliable or requires cycling through modes a few times.

There’s a bug right now where under wing AMRAAMs are lofting quite a bit on launch; maybe this is related.

Check out the 5:35 mark in this video. It looks like something similar is happening in other modules as well. Maybe a recent change in the PFM in general?

Yup, same issue here. It can be reproduced in seconds. Go to the instant action offensive bfm mission, lock with acm, turn away, radar goes to CRM.

I have the same issues. Looks like it is a bit widespread, the grim reaper tutorial for the tgp that just came out mentions the bug.

I am having an issue slewing around the TGP when using the mini-stick axis of my Thrustmaster TWCS. It tends to wander around on it's own, sometimes shakes back and forth. Furthermore, it looks like because it is getting these phantom inputs when trying to boresight the TGP it only moves a bit then cancels because it things I'm giving it input. If I click the button to boresight it a bunch it eventually gets there. This behavior doesn't happen if I bind the radar cursor movement keys to my keyboard. Before you ask, it is not the hardware. The mini-stick works on all the other aircraft without any wandering. It works on the FCR radar page of the F-16 just fine as well, this only happens with the TGP. I just happened across the Grim Reaper youtube tutorial of the TGP and he mentions that he had the same issue with this HOTAS setup. He probably already reported it, but I wanted to make a thread here so people don't spend hours pulling their hair out. It would also be nice to see what other setups are affected by this.

yeah, haha, i convinced myself something was up when I couldn't catch up the the C-17 at 30k feet. Using a twcs throttle by the way, so I don't think it is controller dependent.

I don’t understand your point? Are you saying that in the blk50 viper there is no way to switch between amraam and sidewinders using the HOTAS? Not being snarky, genuinely curious.

This is a confirmed bug, see: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=251580

I totally get it, just making sure it's on their radar. I'm thinking switching between missile types would be a pretty big must have.

A long press of of the MSL STEP button should switch between missile types, currently the only function, short or long, of this button is to switch between stations of the same missile. Can this be confirmed as a bug that is being looked at? Thanks!
