Mr_Burns

Thank you for that, I will have a play around tomorrow, glad its 3 separate switches, I thought perhaps the push was required to activate the directions.

I went with the GGG type controllers and have 2 knocking around but not sure if they support these. I also bought some Arduino as I have a couple of LED switches for Master Warning and Fire so think this is the way to go? Thanks for the reply.

Just been flying the first mission and beat it on the 6th time on easy, great mission thanks will play the next in the campaign tomorrow. Please keep up the good work. Love the voice overs, scripts and immersion, recommend anyone flying the Hornet who wants a CAS missions(s), will update when I finish the campaign but Im a mud mover!! Btw I cannot tell the wingman to do anything so he is just (lucky for me) a missile decoy :-) is this correct?

Aim 9s you need to uncage it when you get the tone. Uncage is also a binding.

Hi, Has something happened or something I need to change since the last update? I MDI exports working, and now they dont but ED said in the release that export views now work. Thanks

Hello, I bought these off ebay and was hoping someone could advise me on how to wire them up and hopefully if I can use DCS Bios. The are rotary encoders with a push button operation (key switch): https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10pcs-12mm-switch-rotary-encoder-with-key-switch-L3I5/192315940922?epid=1881244434&hash=item2cc6ec603a:g:y~sAAOSwb7NZyG6E I want them to drive the up front controller in the F/A-18C so volume up and down, radio channels, brightness and probably also take off trim. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thats great to see inside them, the amount of work to design and built such accurate mechanical instruments is fantastic to see. Thank you and great work converting them to electrical, can you imagine the designers and manufacturers would never comprehend how their gauges would end up!!

Hi Bonz, it happens quite a lot when you are setting up multi monitors. Delete Options.Lua and restart DCS, it will create a new options lua as default. C:/username/Saved Games\DCS\Config\Options.lua You may be able to edit it but I just delete it.

I have a Corsair LED wireless, great set. Word of advice, don't go anywhere near Logitech in my experience. Edit: just read above, don't go anywhere near Logitech <$100!

Just set it up as a left monitor and sit it on the right, that's all I do. Takes a little getting used to but no biggie. Afaik, you can do it you start you mainview at x=1920 y=0 but from memory you need a phantom monitor fix. In the early days of A-10 I had an MFD on the right and one on the left on the main view but there were issues with the gui stretching over 3 screens. If you play around and it stuffs up you GUI you have to delete a file in Mygames folder to reset it, search on here and there is a reply to resetting menu or gui or something.

Is anyone able to assist in translating this to a simple instruction for those of us not software minded?

You have to press DMS (not DMS down) to lock. So whatever you are using to slew the designator, it has a 5th action to lock, pressed.

The issue with this approach is that it assumes you move your head and not your eyeballs to change what you focus on? Surely you could have 4K screens that only render where you look in 4K?

You have to get out and push.

So can we confirm from ED that it is a WIP issue and that it has been logged for some future update/development work so I can move on?!

Just an update on this, I had the "lock" mapped to my first trigger stage, I think it "unlocked" when firing the missiles, so far I have killed 2 unarmed SU-25 which is 2 more than ever before! However, the Radar doesnt pick the bogeys up until 5NM and my shoot is at about 3NM so not in the realms of BVR unless you have a back seat guide dog. Will work on that next...

Thanks eddie

Hi, I have Hotas button 2 mapped to weapon release and trigger stage to to gun, but button 2 doesnt do anything, all missiles and guns are fired by the trigger second stage?! FWIW it the Hotas Warthog and the keybindings work fine in Warthog, button 2 is the 'pickle' and stage 2 is the gun. Anyone else get this in F/A-18?

If you press ESC you can select edit controlls

I dont think we are bitching, I have just watched youtube and set up a -18 vs -25 and in 6 attempts getting all 4 missiles away, I havnt hit it once, not even near. So would like to know before I put any more time into trying to kill the thing if it is User Crappiness or Early Access. Either would be good to know as I can still perfect locking the enemy without expecting to hit it!

TMI - does anyone have the mind bleach?

Seen how many are viewing this thread!!!

Smoking more, and I don't usually smoke!

Not to p1ss on the fire of anticipation but couldnt they have sorted all the compiling whatever yesterday...... Not in anyway itching to fly this..no sir...

So where do you find a 16 seg the same size?
