Do you use Radios+SRS+VAICOM+Teamspeak/Discord together? How??
mdee replied to Snacko's topic in DCS Modding
I use one to all option in Vaicom and one PTT in SRS, which is the same button as discord PTT. I don't need discord and SRS at the same time. Radio switching is handled in plane. I never had a need to use more than two radios, if I do an obscure keypress for radios 3, 4 etc. does the job.. So a 4 way hat handles it all. Up is SRS/Discord, Down Vaicom, Fwd/Aft radio select. I don't care about "realism". -
Analog stick feel is not really suitable for what this button does in A10, F18, F16 and similar fighters. The other company grip has an analog stick where the trim is and it sucks.

How to evade missiles without countermeasures pod?
mdee replied to WelshZeCorgi's topic in DCS: AJS37 Viggen
180, afterburner stage 3 while following a walley and pray. Viggen was designed as phase 1 strike fighter where there was always another Viggen to do ECM for the flight. Phase 2 (later in the war) was to hide in a road base and do one way runs. -
** UPDATE: Ground Radar 2.0 & Multiplayer Flight Planning **
mdee replied to Cobra847's topic in DCS: AJS37 Viggen
Awesome, thank you. Viggen is by far my favourite! -
Modern western or upgraded T-50. What is important is to have 5 way thumb button. My only issue with the grip. Please don't make more kosmos twist grips. One is enough :) One more thing, please don't make metal grips, they are way too heavy and no better than high quality plastic you use now.

usign a touchscreen windows pc as virtual instruments?
mdee replied to fael097's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Yes it is. Look up Splashtop. -
Make sure you or on latest firmware. It can be downloaded from Virpil website. https://virpil-controls.eu/downloads/software.html
-
That's my assumption too. I'd yell at ED a little though for posting false changelog :pilotfly: :thumbup:

Track attached. viggen_popup.trk

Unfortunately still not working. Repro described in 1st post. I'll do more testing and update. 2.5.3.24436
-
Looks like it will it's in patch notes - I'll check when back home. Thanks for all other fixes too! Really appreciate it.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
-
Same issue here - I am ignoring it for time being, but would be great to get this fixed. I did a clean reinstall.
-
Bit off topic - I assume this is a video from before 2.5. It clearly shows how dark Mirage cockpit is now comparing to what it used to be. I use flashlight all the time and it's much darker. My monitor is colour calibrated to it's not a gamma issue.
-
I'd highly recommend the Mirage, if you want to gradually step up difficulty but it's also really cool and fun plane to fly. Another one to consider is the Viggen, but it's almost exclusive strike fighter with limited A2A capability. Harrier has a lot of systems and it's still a bit incomplete - if you are ok with it's a great plane. I'd just make a list, LOL.
-
Still occurring after last patch.
-
Thanks. I can recreate this behaviour 100% now. Import F10 option checked Load a mission with custom F10 menus Next time starting VA I get "update database..." message Follow the steps as per manual "update database.." message does not go away. If edit profile file, copy/paste new keywords into file (clipboard content after FINISH step), then re-import the profile into VA, message goes away.

Mongoose T50 is discontinued which is a shame, WarBRD doesn't play well with extensions.

Everything matters. GPU, CPU speed (single core clock atm as DCS is not multithreaded extensively) ram speed, ram size, SSD speed (for streaming performance). Running ancient (<7700k) CPU with current GPU is no better than running latest CPU with 980ti. We are running very complex simulation engine, with high graphical fidelity. Don't expect miracles. It's not "poorly optimized" it's just demanding. It can be better for sure, better multithreading will help, but this isn't a simple thing to do and may take a very long time. Current DCS performance is really decent across wide range of hardware, graphics settings are extensive and can be fine tuned to even very old hardware and go beyond currently available hardware . ED is very honest about system specs too. But people will always try to crank it up to the max on their 3 years old laptop and come back saying "not optimized". It happens with every PC game which has graphics settings. Vulcan, heh.. good luck with that :megalol::megalol: even if it's going to happen, the performance gains are not what people think they are.

Ok, I didn't understand how VA profiles work. So, I redid the profile by hand by adding the actions to the file, re-imported the profile and "database updated" is gone. Nonetheless, despite trying pretty much anything I couldn't get rid of it by using the method described in the manual.
-
This is about "The keywords database was updated: apply FINISH steps to update the VA profile." reappearing despite "FINISH" steps done multiple times. I did a database reset and that cleared the "database update" message. Loaded "Into The Inferno" with "Import F10 Menus" option on. The message re-appeared, I did FINISH steps, but the message keeps reappearing. I had a look into profile file and it doesn't seem to have new commands included. I have tried to manually replace <CommandString> section, but every time I start VA, the profile gets reset do default keyword list (without F10 imported commands) - not sure if this is relevant though, as I can see "ACTION xxx" commands via VA profile editor.

Thanks for suggestion - it didn't do it, unfortunately. I'll try to reset/re import F10 menus.

Myself and a couple of people ran into Ux to Mx nav points switching issues, there is a separate thread about it here https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=223453 . Creation works fine though.

In game keystroke for TrackIR5 to toggle on & off
mdee replied to gdotts's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Bind "Pause" in TrackIR software -
I keep getting "The keywords database was updated: apply FINISH steps to update the VA profile." Likely happened after F10 menu import. I have done the steps (multiple times before after updates). I've checked the dates on the files and they appear to be up to dat. It's a minor thing, any directions how to reset it/get rid of the message?

Oculus co-founder: “Free is still not cheap enough” for current VR tech
mdee replied to SharpeXB's topic in Virtual Reality
He is right. The tech is too bulky and quality of the visuals is not good enough. As much as I like my Rift, it's still a very limited device. If/when these problems are resolved, I'll be likely willing to glue it to my head permanently (if it's needed at all ;) )
