  1. This is the only account I have ever had.
  2. I am returning to the DCS Community after a multi-year absence. How do I prove to DCS that I have bought all the modules that I bought? I tried to find the receipts via email or my DCs online account and could find nothing. I'm not spending 300 plus dollars again. Thanks.
  3. All my research says that the default location for kneeboard files is located here: "C:\Users\*username*\Saved Games\DCS\Kneeboard" But when I bring it up for a mission, what is displayed is NOT what I set up for the mission. Is there a place for each aircraft where you can change where the app "looks" for kneeboard files? How do I shift it back to looking in the default location? Thanks!
  4. Found it. It's that old RA-10 function. Thanks for the help all! I figured a work around using VoiceAttack to say "Prepare the bird for start up" and it used keyboard commands to set the throttles to idle with a message "Aircraft prepped for start up, reduce throttles to stop" Again, thanks for pointing me in in the right direction to figure things out.
  5. No joy, throttles just ain't moving in the Hornet... Anything else I can try? Do I need to reinstall something?
  6. Does that mean I'm done with cold and dark missions? When during the app loading process do I move the throttles to let the sim know that they are there?
  7. The buttons work, but the axis seems reversed, my X and Y axis commands seem to decrease (in other words, the indicator bars are full, and as I advance the throttles, the bar values decrease). It almost seems like Windows sees them as reversed, but every other indicator (like my TF-15 settings) portray them correctly. I detached my joystick (HOTAS X52) in case there was a conflict between the 52's settings and the new Taurus unit. Could there be some hidden settings causing conflict? Currently, I have a line for my Taurus startup panel, another for my rudder system, and another for my throttle unit.
  8. I can't bind my Aft(Flare) Dispense Switch to my throttle JOY_BTN10 or my Forward(Chaff) Dispense Switch to my throttle JOY_BTN12 either. Is there a default profile that is getting in the way? Gladman: No joy on throttle function after trying your suggested procedure. Any other thoughts?
  9. Locked? Is there an unlock command I have missed (beyond lifting the finger tabs)?
  10. Starting in idle position?
  11. No joy. The cockpit throttles don't move.
  12. DCS Interface Issue with WinWing Throttles I just bought the WinWing Super Taurus Throttle (don't be jealous, I'm eating beans and rice for the next few months...) Hooked it up and bound the right throttle to the TF-51 throttle and it works like a charm. Tried to bind right and left throttles to the corresponding levers in the F-18C Sim "Winwing Throttle column Axis Commands for "Thrust Right" and "Thrust Left". The inputs show "JOY_RX" and "JOY_RY" Respectively. The input bar (little white line on bottom of each box) both show the bar filling the right half the line, and as I advance each throttle lever, the respective bar decreases to center, and then fills going to the left. In the sim, the throttles don't move, but the friction lever works, and all of the switches are correctly mapped and function as expected. Played with every setting, and nothing happens. All of the other switches, buttons, and event he friction lever work, just not the throttle levers. Like I said, though, the TF-15D controls read the inputs just fine. SimAppPro calibration shows proper inputs and functions, so I know that this isn't a mechanical fault. Love this beefy set-up, assuming I can get everything working. Thanks!
  13. Thanks for the info! I'll switch channels!

Like I said, though, the TF-15D controls read the inputs just fine. I did notice that the Axis Command lists "Thrust Right" and "Thrust Left" instead of "throttle right" and "throttle left". Could this be the issue, and is there a work around for it? Thanks!
  15. Throttle axis reverse New WinWing Super Taurus. All buttons and switches mapped, but main throttle are reversed for FA-18C.
