Love DCS gave up on VR a while ago and love TrackIr!

I concur! 16 megs of RAM when the cost of RAM back then was on a par with platinum puts you in a very different league!

As someone already mentioned, VoiceAttack works perfectly and to be honest in the heat of the situation you really don't want to be scrambling for multiple key presses!

Simply solution... Drive the Viper, dead pilots don't eject and even harsh words across the radio kill the Viper driver

Good point, it MUST be a bug as you would not expect a pilot in a combat situation to have to guess the outcome of the launch!

My bad! I meant to quote SharpXBs original "life advice" comment!

I don't think I have ever read anything so blatantly arrogant and demeaning on this forum before...

This is simply about the concept of choice and choice is one of the fundamental cornerstones of life.

14.3 GB Syria is 67GB!

The Viper needs a minimum of 8000 feet to land safely...

I assigned a TRANSMIT keybind which brought up the same (looking) COMMS menu as before but this time I received a reply! The same with contacting my wingman! Many thanks! I can assure you however that this has not been necessary in the Viper before 2.9! Again, many thanks.

Ok, In the Viper you press the COMM 2 button for VHF, enter the desired frequency of the corresponding ATC and ENTER, press F12, select the relevant ATC and the relevant request, for example INBOUND... I have been using this system for 4 years without any problems, today I get no response, I have attached a track file.. As I have said this problem ONLY started today after the 2.9 update. Many thanks COMMS.trk

Thanks razo+r but this has only occurred after the 2.9 update, normally I assign 127 on COMM 2 to my wingman or in ME but also I cannot contact any airport ATC, I've been following the same procedure for 4 years without any problems but suddenly today the world is frighteningly quiet! Edit: the Viper doesn't have a PTT button as far as I'm aware.

Clearly I have missed the relevant YouTube video... After tuning to the relevant frequency and opening the comms menu and selecting ATC for the relevant airfield I get no response, nor if I set in ME a frequency of 127 for my wingman, what have I missed? Thanks in advance...

There is a possible workaround, especially if the quad point edit zone gets more nodes... Check the .miz file SA5 no fire zone.miz

I am aware of that, my point, as I'm sure you know, is that buying bigger and bigger storage is not solving what many people see as a problem.

I believe this has already been answered, create a livery manager - choice is the key word. That would suggest that your solution to all aspects of PC bloatware would be keep buying bigger storage devices...

That file doesn't exist on my installations?

I ONLY fly FC3 aircraft in re-enactment scenarios that require aircraft from eastern european countries (potentially) in conflict (I cannot specifically name conflicts without being castigated )

I disagree! It's like watching something totally new, completely abstracted from reality, you literally have no idea what will happen next, It's SO exciting!

Strange / counter intuitive ME behaviour... Load DCS Click on MISSION EDITOR Select and load a mission from the list Exit MISSION EDITOR Click on MISSION EDITOR again and BOOM - it loads an empty mission based on the last map used? Why?? Why not present you with the missions list as before??

A beautiful aircraft but one with a poor safety record and plagued with numerous problems... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_F-104_Starfighter#Early_problems

I have the map, I don't fly it because I find it garish, no seasons and many, many low quality textures, DCS is all about immersion, anything that detracts from that immersion is detrimental. I have all the modern maps so there is plenty to keep me busy. I will revisit the map in a couple of years to see if has improved...

This, in many ways, is a bottomless can of worms. The list things that need changing, improving, re-modeling, creating is almost endless. If you look up ED as a company it lists employees as between 100-200, so firstly it's tiny (whichever of those numbers are correct) and secondly only a proportion of those will be software developers / coders. They have an immense task in front of them so as the moderators are fond of saying, it's all about priorities. Microsoft has about 220,000 employers as a comparison...
