Spetz

I never needed it opened before for DCS so surprised it just started last night. I'll keep messing with it and see what happens..

Seems I got an update to the Rift last night where I can select Rift 2.0 beta etc.. But OH now opens up when ever I start DCS. Before I had OH set to administrator which prevented it from opening, now it opens no matter what, forcing me to close it manually, but as long as DCS is running, OH keeps reopening.. Getting annoying.. Anyone else have this issue?

Same for me last night online on Aerobatic Server. Set up 127.500 on manual comm 1 and as soon as I hit the transmit it physically changed to 305.000. Tried auto start, manual, set comm 1 or comm 2 direct to Stennis first, change from something else etc.. nothing worked. But as far as I can remember, this is the first time it's happened.

Really looking forward to this one!

I find it very easy to maintain speed, but I keep messing up on the slow-down. Approaching a KC-130 that is doing 270 kts but I'm doing 370 and I keep think "no problem, speed brake and crab.." Nope.. zoom..right past.. But once in pre-contact and taking fuel, you simply walk the throttles back and forth only millimeters (Warthog HOTAS for me) to maintain position. No lateral stick movement though because that will mess you all up Rudder and pitch only.. Anyway, works for me

I had a C-130 add on for another sim, full fidelity etc. With one pilot, that thing was a bitch to properly manage lol

Thanks! A great help!

For #2, IIRC, A2A's Spitfire for FSX modeled condensation that worked very well. If They could do it for FSX 6+ years ago, hopefully DCS can add it at some point.. #8.. We'd have 25 x Hornets doing F-111 fire shows on every server lol The rest would be great as well!

lol.. And it starts.. Thanks Mustang!

Not working for me in newest DCS build with F-18 (or any module), can't get it off "Easy Comms ON" or switch default profile. I'm sure it'll be sorted, but unfortunately, until then, it's side-lined :(

Seems there is no input for right engine crank off so you cannot bind it. There is one for left engine crank off. Unless it's labeled wrong, haven't checked..

May be linked to the general DDI / HUD large font issue but I noticed last night (In VR) when flying in bright conditions but having shadows pass over the left DDI, when the shadow moved the DDI font changed to a more yellowish colour and became larger and fuzzy. It would reset itself after a few seconds. I'm at work so no track, but will post one when I get home if required.

- HSI on DDI not switching to night mode - Inability to adjust AMPCD brightness, contrast etc - Length of time to hold UFC buttons to activate them

So I have the detent set for lifting the throttles from off to idle, like it that way, but seems I can only get 100% RPM depending on altitude. For example, I can get 100% RPM on carrier takeoff, but after that, it seems I can go as far as 98-99% unless I'm up over 20K feet or so, sometimes less. Seems random. I've recalibrated my Warthog,, tried adjusting using curves, slider, saturation etc and nothing changes for the better. I've read the threads but most seem to deal with having the A/B detent forward, for lack of a better term. Is this supposed to be this way?

None of the adjustments works for me. Brightness, contrast etc. Just full on or full off. Makes it impossible to read anything and sucks for night flying.

Same. Simply bind the idle/cutoff to the button that activates when you left the throttle over the hump when pulling back. Goes to idle in the opposite direction...

That would be great, like how Chuck changes the date on his with every update

Thanks!!

Same issue, any module. Ask for taxi and then it answers half way down the taxiway. Single player with only my jet in game.

Frenchy's mod works in MP now? As much as I like the monoculuar, I'll load that back up as it really is a good mod :)

Have noticed mine doesn't jump around but my custom views settings via RCtrl+numpad 1, 2 etc and then saved using RAlt+1 (or 0, can't remember) seems to randomly reset, mostly to the left. I move over again and have to resave. Seems to happen more often when switching to another airframe, then back to the previous.

A bit delayed switching to the loadout for me, but I also get a flashing background in the livery preview section

No personal experience flying with them but if you google "monocular NVG flying" there are instances. Like I said, the vast majority use binocular style. My RL experience is from driving armoured vehicles in Afghanistan when the fish bowl wasn't working. I found depth perception to be a non-issue with them. Using the old style double lense to single tube had shit depth perception.. I'm all for accuracy but like I said, I like the mono too :)

I landed on one in a Gazelle north of Dubai, but proceeded to slide off the side, through all the hull addons and then into the water. Then through the (surprisingly) shallow water (ship was resting on the bottom), through the sea floor and into the black... I assume I was still sinking when I shut down the chopper and opened the door for a swim..

What airfield?
