P-51D & P-47D I am mostly creating single player missions for myself in the Normandy 2 and Channel maps, but have made some in Caucasus and Syria. I am not using any scripting just assets and features built into DCS OB.

I cannot for the life of me find HVAR Rockets in the Mission Editor - Trigger Actions. They are not in any of the weapon selections (Missiles, Bombs, etc.) I also cannot figure out how to set a Strafe Trigger. Help?

Same here and I have noticed the carat symbol used in labels is missing in the left eye

I experienced the exact situation as Sr. and I have almost the same system but with a Vive Pro 2 HMD. I came up with the same thought "with Windows, gpu drivers, and VR drivers constantly being patched and updated". Save your goodies and delete the entire DCS WORLD... EVERYTHING Start like a newb, I do use OvGME, I have 19 Aircraft Mods, all the asset packs and maps - unbelievable difference. DCS OB takes me about 3.5 hrs to do a new install, including installing all my DCS Modules and update with my saved historical files(logbook, controls, etc). Note to self - Repeat for next big upgrade or periodically as may be needed. The graphics are amazing, Thank You DCS!!!

Add me to the list - This single issue should be at the top of DCS's "TO DO LIST" Your customers are speaking (SCREAMING!!!) you would be advised to listen. Your competition has fangs and desperately want to steal your customer base. Your customer base wants this fixed. New development comes after prioritized repair and maintenance of the current product. DCS 2.7 and DCS Open Beta 2.7 are better than DCS Open Beta 2.8. We know the Beta is a WIP, so progress - We don't just want it - WE EXPECT IT After all WE pay for it!!!

I have been using Heavy Duty Velcro strips that you can buy at Walmart. Does not move and I cannot tell you the number of changes I have made with various flight simulations over the last 20 years, all made easier by mounting my controls this way.

I too am having a problem with the F-14B part of F-14A/B. I fly single player missions and have flown the F-14B model many times after purchasing the module in Sept. 2021. I recently started flying the F-14 again after a hiatus and discovered when I attempt any B model mission, the mission loads (Instant Action, SP Missions or Campaigns) but I am in F10 Map View after hitting the Fly Button. I can change the view to F2 Aircraft View, F3 Fly-By View, F4 Camera on A/C View and F5 Nearest A/C View but cannot get into F1 Cockpit view nor do I have any aircraft control (stick, rudders or throttle) and can't R Alt + J Jump Into Aircraft or R Ctrl + R Shift + Tab Re-Spawn. The only aircraft movement I get is if I hit R Alt + J Jump Into Aircraft, I then can see the aircraft pitch up for just a split second before resuming normal flight with a slight change in engine pitch. I can exit the mission at any time and have no problem flying the F-14A Missions, Instant Action or Campaigns nor with any other A/C.

Also add the WW2 Aerial Rocket types to the selection list for rockets in zone, etc.

I think that with the increasing popularity of WW2 aircraft mods as well as the established modern aircraft crowd, the Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan area would offer lots of mission types. The greatest difficulty is the different timelines, much like the changes needed in the Marianas map to adequately represent the WW2 era. The carrier usage during conflicts in this area, the historic battles and the diversity of terrain makes this my first choice. Second choice would be a map of the low countries, Germany, Denmark and Lower Scandinavia. I am first and foremost a WW2 fan, anyone can fly a jet - LOL That said, I would hope that there would be a charge for a new map - nothing is free. You are going to get gripes and complaints so I think you should be paid.

I would love to see period compatible ground targets (Targets of Opportunity) that were not uncommon for pilots to encounter when missions were completed and they wanted to have a little fun on the way back to their bases. Canal barges, flack trains and flak cars on trains with vital cargo, exploding vital cargo!!! on trains, steam locomotives that have boiler explosions. WWII had and a lot of ground attack and the results were most often very violent. Explosives, ammunition and fuel were everywhere, but I have yet to experience a train exploding in my face nor do I ever get damaged by debris that I fly through. I think that DCS is a fantastic depiction of simulated combat. Details such as these I suggest and more are the "CANDY" that intensifies our experience. Many thanks to all for your hard work "Rattler"

An excellent tactic for attacking Ju-88s and B-17s and even A-20s is to get beneath them and a little behind, match airspeed as you are steadily climbing. Pull up behind the aircraft (about 40 - 75 feet to their rear) and climb performing a barrel roll which will put you right back in a position to repeat the maneuver again. If done correctly, the enemy AI gunners do not have time to react. Timing the gun firing and a little elevator & rudder coordination usually results in "The Ronson Effect" in two or three passes. The AI gunners are good, so were the aircraft gunners in real life, so us pilots have to be better!!! The new DM even has the Ju-88s diving to low level and turning to prevent this attack, but it can still be used - just keep one eye on the ground.

In numerous missions that I have created and flown for a while are missing Schnellboots (same, dot is there but no visible ship) and u-boats are not in the original position parallel to the dock (now are at a 45 degree angle). All can still be attacked, set fire and sunk. Easy fix I am sure.

Lots of historic battles and secret missions to reproduce and like Hunter Joker said "tons of aircraft"

I would suggest that the developers watch real (not Il-2) gun camera footage from WW2. Lots of great ACTUAL footage of aerial combat. One thing I have noticed is the entire horizontal tail member gets shot off in one piece a lot in real combat - something to do with a single attachment point. If you damage model after real gun camera footage, it would give you more realistic results. Strafing a u-boat results in little or no damage. At the very least, the anti-aircraft guns would be knocked out or reduced in effectiveness. As good as DCS is it leaves us wanting more - Thanks for your existing work and I personally look forward to improvements and new projects!!!

I am very happy with my Vive Cosmos. Very light and great graphics.
