Log added. Same issue now - trying to start DCS, no sound. Restarting the game again. dcs-no sound first start.zip

Kosmosima ships with what appears to be a replacement switch, so one can change the A1 ministick to a simple 8 way hat. Is the same switch compatible with the MCG Pro Gate Control position? I would like to replace the mini stick in that position with the hat switch.

After 2.5.6, when starting DCS, on a frequent basis, there will be NO SOUND. My windows output is set to default device, and the DCS settings is set to output sound to the default device. Sometimes I can fix this by exiting and restarting DCS, other times, it doesn't get fixed, so I have to reboot my machine. Tonight, even rebooting doesn't seem to fix it. Any plans to look into it? It appears I am not the only one with this issue.

MFD mounts by Foxx. Left/right MFD mounts only. Ready to ship ASAP. Like new condition - took out of package, assembled, tested, disassembled. Comes with original hardware. Price (shipped CONUS) for different packages: $70 for left/right MFD mounts ONLY - Stick/Throttle mounts are SOLD.

Looking to buy Virpil throttle. Located in USA.

Than you all. My problem was incomplete calibration. After re-calibrating the stick and all axes, things are better.

On MCG Pro, I have trouble with both the Master Mode and the Gate Control hat. Because of the way they are mounted, it can be difficult to hit the main (Up/Down/Left/Right) direction only. I often end up hitting Up/Right, Down/Left, etc. As a result, the buttons aren't responding correctly in sims. Ideally, I would love the hats to move similarly to the Warthog. Alternatively, through software, is possible to have Up/Left / Up/Right to be translated into Up, Botton/Left // Bottom/Right to be translated into bottom?

For example, with Vaicom, if you want to use comms, you don't have say: "comms", Option 1...Option n... You say: Texaco 1, approaching for refuel Texaco 1, ready pre-contact VAICOM, due to its integration with DCS knows all the objects in mission and routes your comms to the right place. You can even get by by saying Nearest tanker or just "ready pre-contact" without any mention of who you are talking to, and vaicom will send it to the right recipient.

Same here. 2.5.6 steam loads much slower.

I have a similar FPS issue, but so far I only saw it manifest itself in the second mission (first flying mission) of the Nellis Redflag Hornet campaign. The FPS are around 10-17 while on the ground.

Ever since the 2.5.6 patch, the FPS in the cockpit during startup is hovering around 15-25 making it unplayable. I made no changes to any configurations since the patch. Other missions and campaign missions are fine. My typical FPS when flying around is 85-110. Any suggestions?

Ever since 2.5.6 update, on occasion, when I start up DCS, there is no sound. Exiting and restarting seems to fix it. It appears to happen at random regardless of the output setting in DCS.

Define "all my stuff"? As far as I know all custom control mappings are in Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\<Plane Name>\<control type> . You can try manually re-importing the saved profiles in game: 1. Open DCS 2. Goto settings/controls 3. Select the plane/control type 4. Click on import profile and point it to the correct diff.lua in the Saved Games folder.

Could you elaborate what how you can "Launch DCS without VAICOM" ? I am also running into this issue.

I think I figured it out. I modified VAICOM's PTT press / release commands. On press, I "start listening" and on release I "stop listening". I wonder why did VAICOM design his profile to always be listening, but do an action only when a PTT is held down? I understand the steps behind simply adding a new command and / or importing an existing profile. What I would like to accomplish is to have my newly created commands execute only while a hold a particular key. My challenge is to do it withing the constraints of VAICOM's profile. If I create the following command: Voice Attack Start listening <press my key> Voice Attack Stop listening it behaves fine, until I press one of VAICOM's PTT buttons. Once I release the button, the profile goes back to listening all the time. How can I make the VAICOM profile stop listening when I release it's PTT ? Better yet, is there a way to apply a specific start/stop listening to an imported profile?

I want to add more commands to VAICOM's profile that manage internal systems (radar, views, etc). That would only work while a certain key is pressed (i.e: the profile would work normally - making me use PTT for communications commands, but if I wanted to use internal systems, a separate key would have to be pressed for the command to be recognized. What is the best way to do it?

I am on second (really first flying mission) of the Nellis Red Flag campaign for Hornet. However, the wingman doesn't wait for me and takes of/flies while I am still in the process of starting up / taxiing. Is there a way to have him wait for me? Am I missing some commands? Also, I don't see him in my comms menu (I am also using VAICOM and tried using "2") as well as I tried tuning to the flight frequency. Did I miss a step?

It appears my issue was incorrect refresh rate. My monitor is overclocked to 120. However, in the nVidia control panel, I had 60 selected. Changing refresh rate to 120 in nVidia control panel appears to have fixed the issue.

System: i7, windows 10, DCS installed on SSD, 32GB RAM, Gtx 1080Ti 3440x1440 resolution, gSync monitor DCS Settings: Visib Range: ultra Res of Cockpit Displays: 1024 MSAA: 4 Depth of FIeld: Bokeh SSAA X1.5 Clutter: 250, Trees: 43%, Preload: max Antisotrophic: 8X Vsync: Off Just did a clean windows/DCS reinstall. I am encountering the following issues: When I am inside the cockpit, the framerate is OK for the most part. However, when maneuvering, I occasionally experience "visible redraw" for lack of better word. Also, as soon as I switch to external view, the framerate drops visible and the game feels sluggish. I experimented with having preload radius at max and at 50%. Is there anything I can do to make the game run smoother at external views?

New to DCS and also just got VAICOM pro. I am not quite sure it's working correctly. I can occasionally issue commands have wingmen respond, but some commands to ATC/AWACS don't seem to work. Is this a function of having the AWACS et al in the same mission? Also, some groundcrew commands work, while others not quite. I read through the manual and still not sure of the right syntax to issue a command.

It turned out that I needed to be logged into my Eagle Dynamics account at the start (using Steam version).

I noticed that at times, DCS will lose trackIR despite it working in the trackIR software. I found a solution here - instead of restarting DCS, unplug and plug trackIR back in.

I have DCS World 2.5 with Harrier, F/A-18, Mirage, etc.. purchased from steam. I have Verizon ActionTec MI424WR-GEN3I router and FIOS service. I use windows 10. ipconfig returns the following: I entered my router settings > advanced > port forwarding and added the following rule: I restarted the router and DCS. However, the server list is still empty. Did I miss a step? Is my configuration off? Any other tips? Thank you!

Thank you! I will take a closer look at that. I also got Spudknocker's profile which made trackIr much more usable.
