Hi, when I select a flight and hit the "Briefing" button, DCS hangs. After 5-10 minutes I'm finally in the cockpit and I can fly the mission. Choosing a different plane from the selection screen hangs DCS again. My DCS is that current openbeta and Through the Infrerno is 1.80c. I found very old versions of Through the Inferno: 1.51c works ok, after pressing "Briefing" it take just a few seconds to load the plane. Version 1.60a already hangs. I disabled all mods and export scripts, still the same. Running the mission in single player, from mission editor or in a private server all show the same effect. I didn't change any configuration settings in the mission file. Just for testing, I loaded up the mission in the editor and saved it to a new file. Still the same. There's no obvious message in the logs. Any ideas? Cheers RipJaw

Well, I edited my file in 2017...

The stock joystick configuration file is bad. Releasing the MFD button turns the RWR off. It's easy to fix. Open your joystick config file World 2.5\Mods\aircraft\F-5E\Input\F-5E\joystick\default.lua in a text editor and search for RWR Indicator Control POWER Button ON. Remove the value_up part like so: { down = ic_commands.Power, up = ic_commands.Power, cockpit_device_id = devices.RWR_IC, value_down = 1.0, name = _('RWR Indicator Control POWER Button ON'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('RWR')}}, Backup the original file before changing anything. Remember that the file is overwritten with DCS updates, so it's best to use a mod manager. Cheers

Hi, it's difficult for me to find the limit between max braking and skidding the tyres. The visual cues are quite subtile so I only know that I'm skidding when the plane pulls opposite to my differential brake input. With the canopy open I can clearly hear the skid sound early enough to modulate the brakes. When I close the canopy, the sound is gone or extremly quiet. Is there mod or a method to get the sound louder? Cheers

Similar issues here: Looking straight up: I guess this came up with the latest 2 updates. First update made DCS crash in similar situations when braking some seconds after touchdown. Second (latest) update fixed the crahes but introduced these anormalities. Sometimes it's so bad that the screen turns completly black and the next second all bright and I'm totally blinded. It seems that it depends on runway heading and sunlight direction. I can't get rid of it by steering the plane or looking in a different direction. Also, not all runways are affected, I guess time of day plays a role here. I haven't found the areas or headings creating these anormalities with a slow plane, i. e. by turing around on the runway driving back steering left or right, turning circles and the like. This kills formation landings in multiplayer for me. Chances are like 30-50% that I get blinded and crash into other planes. :( Hope it can be fixed with the next update.
