I want an Iowa, Illinois border map so I can reenact this photo I shot today of a Chinook flying IFR in IMC at Quad Cities Airport.

just wondering, are there any other tricks to getting trains to show up when placed in ME? Nevermind for now, because I found static train cars to place for a cargo lift mission I'm working on. Thanks for reading!

Well, that was an amazing campaign. I hope part 2 will start with a takeoff from H4 for a hop to the new base for the 79th!

@ChillNG I have a question before I start mission 6. Page 7 in the briefing document starts with saying that Popeye is giving details, but then it reads like Forrest is writing a note saying he (PLAYER) will target the Tin Shield. Do I have that right?

whew! finally!

I am very glad to see that the next update will have a fix. I really sent some crazy mavs out trying to use pre mode.

I was saying I don't even have to press 1 in between I just press com 1 (or 2)-> ENTR and the main screen switches to show 1 for preset 1. Then I can dobber down to it, and press the DED increment an decrement buttons. What I'm realizing is that I can press com1 -> 11 -> ENTR, to talk to Gold 1 and then com1 -> 2 -> ENTR and talk to Sentinel, and then Com1 -> ENTR to switch back to Gold1. It's so much easier than what I was doing before

oh, I see now. But what do you call if if you press Com2 and then ENTR? And then dobber left back to the Main DED page? What do you see?

So mission 3 log: Score 98, I think because I called arrival just below 6500 msl or it's because I called approach at FL021 and descending, not bad, I'm happy with my score overall. I used a JDAM on an SA8, and A Mav on the SA6 radar, At that point all I could do was spend my other 2 weapons on 2 of the TEL vehicles. Altogether it was way awesome how Sword 1-1 and I, 2-1, took running in on the SA6 to keep it busy, until one was lined up for the kill. Took on 500 lbs of fuel with Shell 1-1 on the RTB, just in time to continue on egress as they turned back to their orbit. There's something satisfying about hearing the Bingo call twice during one hop. So we are fighting the Syrian Islamic Army, and supporting the YDF, and the SIA and the Syrian Democratic forces are fighting the Syrian Military / Government (who the Russians are Supporting) do I have that right? In any case, I wasn't sure when those Flankers pulled up close by if they were pissed that we'd been bombing the SIA or if they couldn't care less. Sigh of relief though after they flowed west soon after contact.

Okay, so what should I fret about if a little light comes on after I launch all my weapons. But if the STORES CONFIG warning lights up on the right panel at that time is there anything I should do? I can't switch to Category 1 because I still have External Wing Tanks attached. Any thoughts?

Hello! I saw a thread that's similar topic, which is now closed for further reply, so I hope this is cool if I start another one. I'm playing the Wild Weasels Over Syria campaign. I press Com1 on the ICP, and then Enter (ICP) to make the main page com1 enter 'preset' mode. It really helps complete the comms in the campaign with ease. The thing is, it works until I call a Tanker, or AWACS, or ATC with the F10 menu. Then the com1 / UHF on the main DED page will not return to the preset mode if I press Com1 (ICP) and then Enter (ICP) again. I've been mitigating this by flipping my UHF selector to BACKUP on the left side panel and setting the backup UHF section to Preset and scanning through the preset channels with the selector switch, and that works to keep the comms going for the mission. I just want to report this to see if it's of any great concern, thanks for reading!

I can't help but feel reverence while working through this campaign. Knowing what the Wild Weasels went through in Vietnam to craft a tactic, that made clearing air defenses and making the skies safer for strike aircraft, theres less of a sense of just kidding around as I play DCS. I want to thank you developers for making another ccampaign that really tests my nav capabilities while teaching me air combat skills. I enjoyed the Operation Cerebrus North campaign just as much.

I just played Mission 2. I got my right wingtip shot off by a 57mm HE shell, but still managed to make it back and complete the mission. Is this a good score?: Does this mean I did everything right?

Hey Guys!!! I completed Mission one, but my game froze as I quit the mission in Parking Space 8. I give myself an 80, because of mistakes in the Weasel part. How do I stay below 1,500' AGL and out of AAA range? Check out my radical landing and the tightest turn into a shelter I've ever made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K4lillJytY

How long has the pull-up cue countdown been here (the timer at the bottom right of the HUD goes to zero for pop-up and then like 10 more seconds countdown to bomb release, In CCRP)

I think he made The Last Show UH-1 campain in the meantime, too.

Hello, to whom it may concern, While I don't have a keyboard that has a second upper row of F- keys (F13-F24) in addition to F1-F12, I do have a keypad software which can assign those keys to be pressed, the only thing is my DCS Controls settings currently do not have F13-F24 keys available for assigning. I don't know if that is supported on DCS, and I won't know unless I get a keyboard that does have a second row of F keys-connecting it and checking in DCS settings to see if they are available to map controls to. Nonetheless, If it's possible I would like to be able to assign keys F13-F24 to controls in any DCS module, just because my keypad software can be assigned to them, and it will free up more of the alphanumeric keys for other things. Thanks for reading, I hope I convey a discernible message here, if not, I'll be happy to clarify.

Did anyone else do anything besides bomb similar groups of pillbox/bunkers, and BMPs, IFVs on every mission?

Something happened, and now I'm back to dizzy spells a lot, but I just take a snapshot with the PrintScreen key, and it makes it all better instantly. I'm using PimaxXR Runtime, Pimax PC, OpenXR, and OpenComposite (Which was key to reducing my dizzyness dramatically: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEMxSGw0M3BsVUlnaW15anAzOGFpQTg3c3paUXxBQ3Jtc0trUUUzV3pvYUNMRHZTODJVQkMwUklfNXAtLXJNSFNxcVhpTmw3LVl4elZDcVp5Q3RnX3huZlgyZjRhcU9zUUxDMUNVSk9mcUc5aXA1dGFobmxZM0JITTBWSnBVQ0trdGQ0OXp4aU9xekxhUXU5cTUtcw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fgitlab.com%2Fznixian%2FOpenOVR%2F-%2Ftree%2Fopenxr&v=Ha9QHmOi1n8) Try this in Open XR: nullnull more info can be found in the description of this video:

I followed some advice I saw in the VR bugs thread. I un-installed all my VR apps, then re-installed them. and now DCS MultiThreading works fine without dizzyness. I didn't realize that MT came out after I had installed VR on my PC. Thanks much, I will keep using MT from here on out.

This is the closest thread to the topic of my question, so here goes. I want to turn off the HMD mask in my VR, so the 'fisheyes' aren't shown on my screen, and I used to know how to do it, but know when I uncheck 'HMD Mask' in DCS settings or my pimax app, it does nothing to revert back to a cropped image on the DCS Application screen on my monitor while I'm using VR. What am I missing I wonder. Please, if you know how to turn off the HMD mask, or crop to rectangle let me know. I don't really care if it's not a thing anymore.

Hello, I notice that in VR the Hind cockpit is somewhat grainy. Just hoping that maybe over time it can be worked on to appear more smooth in VR, thanks for reading.

Multi-Threading is nice because it increases the resolution. I'm back to getting dizzy spells in my VR headset though, when I press F1 back to cockpit after looking at the map.

i will give MT another try. It's just that since mt rolled out my pimax 8k+ is super dizzy- time jittery when running it. It could be my settings like prerendered frames or something. I'll give it another try. Thanks for your work.

Hello, thanks for the neat updates with FC3 and voluminous other fixes with this latest update. I'm a VR user, and while the new mouse pointer is very sharp and high-res, It is now a very dark color, and I cannot see it when when moved over the cockpit panels. Am I missing something about settings, or is this something we can put on the list for an improvement, like going back to the color teal, or like green or even yellow which is easier on the eyes? thanks for reading.
