@=Andre=, I can report that I had success with your suggestion of replacing the 2.2 Ohm Surface Mount Resistors with the Resettable Fuses you recommended. I replaced the two burned Resistors (R34 & R36) and this #6 Vibration motor located at the top right of the seat. Let me know if you think I should also replace R35 and R37 even though they look good and the vibration motors are all working. I hope this information helps anyone else out there with a similar problem. Thanks again!

@MAXsenna You are so right! I 100% agree and recommend Quaggles Injector Mod: It is the First and sometimes only MOD I use in DCS depending on what I am playing with. Here is a LINK to the Quaggles - DCS Input Injector Mod within this DCS forum. Munks Community Keybinds Project Also looks like Munkwolf's extra keybinds are already included in the Quaggles Zip repository

Taz1004 is active in the community with other Mods he has made and has kept them updated. So far there has been no need to update the latest v6 of the Better Trees Mod. But yeah... WOW, the trees really help Caucasus look better. I can only offer "Conspiracy Theories" as to why Eagle Dynamics has not adopted the Better Trees Mod into the Core game.

These Pictures should be a good baseline for the next "BIG" update to the SA Map coming this summer. This map is feeling like it could be a late bloomer with regard to textures, buildings, mesh, and performance. Of course the Falklands Islands on their own look better than the Argentian and Chili map so far. Good luck to Razbam on the next major map update.

Hello @phant your updates to the map are very much appreciated and needed. If the upgrade will not be in the next patch I hope you can give some early access and approval to creators like Air Warfare Gourp / @JUICE-AWG. You can give the DCS community a chance to create some videos on the progress and improvements. Today I was exploring Aerodromo O'Higgins in the North and while very nice I can see the room for improvements you mention in your update. Good luck!

I have noticed the same behavior intermittently happening. I have my taskbar set to Auto Hide but the taskbar still stuck open a few times on me. No idea about the root cause but maybe a future DCS Patch or Windows/Driver update will fix it. Cheers

Will this be my Logitech X56 Replacement.. ? Humm. I can't wait for the reviews. thanks

Awesome thanks @=Andre=, I will try to find my "30 year old" Soldering Iron and order some flux and desoldering Braid plus the resettable fuses you recommend. I hope I get a chance to attempt the repair in a few weeks. Tell Mario to keep some spare controllers on hand in North America as my 'PLAN B" . DCS does not feel complete without the Jetseat. Cheers.

Hello @=Andre=, I think I know why my Top Right Motor no longer has any strong vibration behind it. I did try swapping vibration motors and even tried new motors. After 2 years It looks like R34 and R36 (2.2 Ohm) SMC resistors are fried. See Photo. I can probably order the resistors but not sure if the MOSFET survived unharmed. I live in Toronto Canada. Let me know if you or "Sergio?" recommend a new controller or an alternative bypass. The other channels and motors work as well and are as good as ever! Cheers. null

I thought the exact same. Motivation through sarcasm and humor is probably the most effective tool that can be used to motivate a team. The challenge is that it is very difficult to do successfully. That is why much practice is recommended to perfect the skill. Remember: Success through failure! + Failing fast and failing cheaply.

I use MT and have noticed the same problem with Spitfire Mirror Toggle off but it retains the last view.

Looks like a problem that has been around for a while. Try going into the SimAppPro Configuration ( Gear Icon in Top Right) Change Server: from the United States to China.

Hi @Rudel_chw, I stumbled on your post while checking in on the Mirage F1 updates and hopefully, the eventual fix of that Left Mirror freezing when using TrackIR/OpenTrack to look to the left. I realized that I had not added the Mirage-F1EE to my custom Server.lua in the SavedGames\Config\View Folder. Assumption 1: I have been using an updated version of the Reworked Cockpit Views files found in these DCS Forums as I believe you are as well. Assumption 2: You have probably fixed your issue already but just in case here is my example in hopes that it helps others in the future. Assumption 3: Maybe there is an unseen typo or formatting issue that the newer Mirage F1CC did not like from your original edits? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Start of Additions and changes made by JJF Additions -------------------- -- Looks like chaning gEyePoint and settings below the first line 6 entry -- -- does successfully affect the modules listed below this entry! ----------- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Global view configuration -- Update for DCS 1.5.3 local gEyePoint = {-0.00, 0.10, 0.00} -- Front/back, up/down, lef/right {0.08, 0.10, 0.00} {0.16, 0.1} -- jjf So FAR:{-0.05, 0.10, 0.00}OK but HUD big.:{-0.10, 0.12, 0.00} OK for Warbirds! :Default{-0.08, 0.10, 0.00} local gCameraViewAngleLimits = {55.000000,95.000000} -- my value was {20.000000, 90.000000} and {55.000000, 95.000000} - Field of view, zoom min and max. consider setting it so that min + (max-min)/2 = default viewAngle (index 13) from snap views.

@Barthek.. thank you for always doing the "Needful"!

I thought the new Normandy 2 was good.. now I am really looking forward to Barthek Normandy 2.0. I know we won't be disappointed.

Bump for this 10.2 GB DCS Optimized Textures Mod! DCS Open Beta Folder is 17GB lighter with Optimized textures installed. @BIGNEWY, it would be a shame if the developers were not at least studying the changes provided in this mod and considering implementing some or all in a future "major" update. (For example - when Vulcan API is ready for Open Beta ) On an interesting side note: Installing this 10.2 GB Textures Mod on my 2TB Samsung NVME 970 EVO helped me to realize that I was missing the installation of Samsung NVME Express Driver 3.3. My computer was crashing and rebooting when pushing the NVME hard during heavy usage. During troubleshooting the drive would also crash running the Drive Magician Diagnostics tests. Thanks, @Taz1004

You need to add an "On-Else-Off" binding to the aircraft's joystick default.lua. There are probably more than a few ways to do this. You can check out this Mod in the user files for the files with changes in them. X55/56 Speed Brake Slider by Shiroka - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3312384/ After using the above mod for a year I ended up migrating to DCS-Input-Command-Injector by Quaggles because it is a more elegant solution to the problem. Happy hunting.

This version of the Updater only fully works with DCS single thread. Wait for the new Updater Gui Utility that is coming in the next few weeks.

Very nice when tested using Warbirds and dog fights. Giving this thread a bump for the weekend. More users should try the Improved Dots Mod and vote. The poll Results from at least 1000 could help ED prioritize.

I can't wait to try this out. Yet another reason to not learn a new Module while I am tweaking DCS visuals and chasing more FPS!

I just received my Orion 2 Stick with Extension and Spring Kit. I will be lucky if I get a chance to test, play and experiment before the end of the month. Hoping for a few rainy days and really bad weather to give me an excuse.. lol.. Can't wait to try out the new stick.

I am seriously considering a purchase of the Orion 2 Flight Stick with the extension and the spring/damper kit. Looking for what other mods can be done to the flight stick to improve it. So far the Nyogel 767A is a no-brainer. @II.JG1_Vonrdhave you consider mixing a small batch of 2 parts 786A to 1 part PG-44A?

I currently enjoy using Open Mod Manager but happy to see the DCS Updater GUI will have one built in just-in-case!

Excellent workarounds. It is fun to watch these threads discuss and solve problems and share.
