i have this update: 2024-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 should i do it?

Link is dead, do you know if i can find it anywhere else? did the mistake to uninstall my working version and update to the latest one and then i got the OpenXR issue described above

oh, ok... interesting, i always thought that 2x external tanks are instant CATIII...

So, if i understand correctly, the stores config behaviour in DCS is correct. IRL aircraft gives a stores config warning light under the same circumstances as in DCS and the pilots are just ingoring them. And basically it goes like this: Centerline tank & no A/G weapons BUT with any A/A weapons loaded = CAT I TGP or/and HTS = CAT III no matter what else is loaded ECM on centerline= CAT I unless A/G weapons or TGP/HTS loaded, then-> CAT III 2x 370gal drop tanks= CAT III no matter what else is loaded ANY A/G weapon= CAT III no matter what else is loaded

@SpecterDC13 do you know an F-16 with only CFT's and an F-16 with CFT's plus centerline what CAT is it?

I will stick to what i know which is basically what @SpecterDC13 describes and will just ignore the stores config warning light.

yeah, strange isn't it? can't someone from ED answer this? what was their source for the stores config?

so even a clean F-16 with no tanks whatsoever, but with ANY of these: TGP, HTS, ECM pods is CAT 3?

I noticed that when i am selecting just 2 drop tanks and nothing else, or 2 a/a missiles + 2 drop tanks, or 4 a/a missiles + 2 drop tanks or even 2 amraams+ 4 sidewinders + 2 drop tanks the jet requires CAT I stores config otherwise if CAT 3 is selected i get a stores config error. The only Α/Α loadout that allows CAT3 is 4x amraams plus 2 heaters plus 2 drop tanks or 6x amraams plus 2 drop tanks Now correct me if i am wrong (obviously i am) but according to what i know plus various sources online plus DCS F-16C manual, even a clean F-16 with just 2x 370gal. tanks should require CAT 3 STORES CONFIG Switch. Sets the FLCS mode of operation based on external wing stores. When set to CAT III the FLCS limits the angle of attack and onset rates in order to increase departure resistance. This switch has no effect when the FLCS gains are set to takeoff/landing configuration (landing gear deployed or air refueling door open). • CAT I. Used for air-to-air loadouts without external wing tanks. • CAT III. Used for air-to-ground loadouts or when equipped with external wing tanks.

Anyone knows where i can find a realistic F-16CM Bl.50 startup checklist? Everybody seems to care only for a fast startup, i am looking for the most realistic possible, I found this video by Bogey Dope which looks closer to what i am looking for, but is there a checklist too?

Does anyone else have an issue with carriers? they just don't work for me, both Russian and Supercarriers, i put them on the ME, load the mission and the map is completely empty, like i never placed a unit. Also instant action missions that includes carriers don't work either (excpet i think those who use the simple free US carrier)

Yeah, now i can join, but yesterday it kicked me out of a server and then i had this yellow marker so i assumed that was the fault. Thanks

Since yesterday i have this issue in many servers. Anyone knows why and how to fix it?

@BitMasterJust to clarify, i wasn't expecting to see any big difference and i didn't upgrade my CPU to run DCS better, i upgraded it to keep up with technology. I just expressed my conclusion after the upgrade. And yes DCS now runs a bit smoother.

I have the same issue, where is that VR mouse setting?
