I've had this issue on numerous occasions including in the last hour on the Hoggit training server. It's pretty dangerous in an MP environment. "PAVEWAY"...Ahhh! ....and also MAD DOG!!!":lol: Unfortunately, I just reinstalled DCS fresh (for other issues). So I have a brand new copy, buuuut my Tacview does not appear to be recording so in addition to all the other things I'm setting up, I need to turn it on in the main menu I guess. If it happens again, I'll tack on a .trk Cheers Trespasser

Heh, I am/was using N++, but I thought closing the proggy saved it automatically:doh:. When i opened up N++ I still had all my UNsaved luas as tabs so obviously no changes had been saved. D'oh!

Oh noice, great tip! thank you. I had know idea, but will def use in the future Regards Trespasser

YES! The good news: Got them to work finally. The Bad news: I'm just a dumb ass. Yes, i had them in the right spot with the right pathing. Yes, I think was correct in that I needed to change the line at the end of the lua to make sure it included USA as most servers have that as blufor. Buuut it turns out the when I made the changes to the lua it did not save and I hadn't noticed. Soo I ASSUME (hate assuming) if you have say a fictional French, or Canadian or whatever and the server doesn't have that in their Blufor list, it doesn't show up in the rearm/refuel window?? Regards Trespasser

I checked, they all seem fine. it's bizarre. Silver, yes my path is the same as yours, cept I've never had a DCS.openbeta folder. Maybe because I did the CMD line change from stable release as opposed to a direct download? ... or perhaps the DCS.openbeta folder is from a while back? I only installed DCS last April

Sorry guys, I've read many posts re: this and I still don't get why I can't see any of the skins I've downloaded for the A-10C As far as I know They're supposed to be in: C:\Users\xone3\Saved Games\DCS\Liveries\A-10C I mean that's MY saved games liveries folder, but they never show up in multiplayer or instant action. I've even changed the last line of the lua so that all countries can use the skins. Can anyone advise as to the critical piece of info I'm missing? I even put them in D:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Liveries\A-10C but nothing ever shows up. My f-16 skins are all in C:\Users\xone3\Saved Games\DCS\Liveries\F-16C_50 and they show up just fine. If I had hair I'd have pulled it all out by now! Best Regards Trespasser

So it truly is a malfunction from the new update? Thank you for confirming. This is pretty awful; as it's somewhat important.

Hmm, this is strange, but Since today my Radar elev CW/CCW no longer works in the f-16 at all. It's mapped accordingly to my TM coolie as it's always been. It's always worked before. In the controls section when I toggle it up or down the correct button mapping is highlighted (button 5 and 3)..it just doesn't do anything in the cockpit. Is there something obvious and silly I'm missing..it's usually the case. EDIT: I somewhat misspoke. The blue elevation indicator on the left side of the MFD does move up and down when I toggle the button, but the elevation parameters do not change in the slewable cursor. cheers Trespasser

Hey oh, Still confused. I've read some modules can but they have to be (keyless) and I've also read ALL modules can except the mirage 2000. I assume I'm missing something. I just bought the Huey on Steam and then bound my accounts but I dont see it. I guess it's too old, Is it one that can not be transferred?? EDIT: Disregard, it worked! I don't use the Steam version, so I just installed it, but had not run it yet. After I ran the Steam version once the Huey got 'registered' in both Steam DCS and then the license thingy showed up in my ED profile page. I was gonna buy it through ED during the sale, but just kept forgetting lol. Thanks ED for letting us do this!

Yer the best! Thank you!

Hey all, I have several of the modules including FC3, but I hadn't actually looked at any of the air frames in FC3 as I wanted to learn the F-16C, A10C, F/A 18C first to a decent level. I decide to set up binds for the F-15 and go fer a whirl today and it was all good until the "right engine fire, right engine fire, right engine fire, right engine fire" and so on lol. Sooo, I shut down the right engine (go figure) and headed back toward Khasab, but is there any way to shut the "Bitching Betty" up?? I just crashed into the Straight of Hormuz rather than fly all the way back to the the base with her yelling at me for the duration.

I should stop taking screenies in an active warzone.

Short answer YES! (I have no curves or dead zones set in game for the 16 or through the vkb software) Long answer YES-ish Personally, I received my GF III pro a cpl o' weeks ago. I was a long time F4 player 10yrs + ago (still have the disc+manual etc). I've always had crap sticks that aren't accurate. Was never able to AAR in F4 and was not able to AAR in DCS before my GF III (was using a Tflight 4 I purchased for Elite Dangerous on the PS4). I'm very new to DCS (5 weeks).The stick has got me 80% of the way to consistent AARs. I'm new to head tracking too. I'm finding that a less than perfect head track, poor vision and crap ergonomics (my stuff sits on the desktop currently) are my current issues. In short, the problem before was the stick AND me, but the Tflight was so bad for fine adjustments I just didn't notice the me part lol. I'm just starting to RTFM for the 18 so I have a long way to go in that frame, but in some very preliminary flights, I've noticed the 18's FM "seems" a bit more controllable for finer adjustments. That coupled with the fact u can see what yer doing whilst refueling might be making it easier. more testing required.

I think you saved me hours of install time bud, thank you!. copied it all over to the new nvme and it seems to work fine.:cheer3nc: 1) what about when I update to the new open betas? I guess it just reads it from the new ssd as that's where I'm starting the proggy from.

Good Lord, are joo zerious?!? I just installed an Aourus 1tb for things like DCS and... well that's as far I'm willing to go just now. But I basically had the same question. I'll give that a go. So just copy the program files/dcs folder over and change the shortcut? ok

Making progress. I've retired my Tflight 4 HOTAS (2nd one, bought 1 year ago for Elite on the PS4). For the $ (80$ CAD) it really was not a bad stick, but it quickly suffered the same as most Tflights from severe sticktion and axis drift. I've always had less than premium sticks, but I thought ...now that I'm out of work, what a great time to spend an inordinate amount of money on toys for a game. Idiot. Anyway Thank you TM (throttle), VKB, (GFproMkIII), Purolator & DHL(These guys and gals deserve hazard pay!). I haven't set anything up yet, but you've made this global crapdemic playable. Ironically still waiting for the Delan Clip, fingers crossed for next week. Even in F4 I was never able to AAR with my my ol' Wingman 3D and I couldn't in the F16 either in DCS due to the crapulence of my previous setup, hopefully now that will change... or I'm sending it all back :) Stay home, stay safe, Fly well Trespasser

Ha!, I can only imagine! It must be so cool. VR is down the road for me. I bought Nevada, A-10C, FA-18C yesterday and FC3 and Persian Gulf last week, but I promised myself I wouldn't fly anything else until I RTFM on the 16 and can AAR it. Sooo, could be a while before I get to them. I'm gonna give Voice Attack a whirl as it might take the load off a bit in lieu of no head tracking/proper controls, ...another manual I gotsta read.:thumbup:

That's it really guys, Thank You for the Fighting Falcon/Viper/My lady! I'm only 2 weeks into DCS (been away from PC gaming for a long time but was a huge fan of the entire Falcon series). The Viper has always been my lady so this is amazing for me to be able to reconnect after all these years now that I have a new rig. (Last sys had a bios rev. date of 2007 LOL). Sure I suck at it, but I'm in process of RTFM and loving it. Sure my joystick is a crap Tflight 4 (bought for Elite on the PS4), but I'm loving it. Sure my SA is terrible as I don't have any Head tracking, but I'm loving it. Sure it's not finished, but I'm loving it. All the above are WIP and I'm loving it. So ya, Thanks again Trespasser Stay Strong all, Stay at Home(plate).

Oh that's good news! Thank you for the heads up. It'll be a while before it arrives, but if locking at 60fps resolves much of the stuttering I've read about with the D clip and higher refresh systems, that's fine. 60fps will be ok as I've had to do that with some older games to prevent strange behavior at times.. I'm looking at you Witcher 3.:smilewink:

Thanks David! Yes I took the advice here and went with the DelanClip + PS3 Eye package. It's not currently possible to purchase TrackIR as it doesn't appear to be easily available anywhere in N America So the Dclip seemed like the best option at half the price. I Imagine it'll take a cpl of weeks to make + ship + arrive, but that's fine. I do have some concerns with running the clip as I run DCS at 2550x1440 @ 144hz and I've heard it may have trouble with higher refresh rate machines. We shall see and I'll report back. I wonder... if it does have issues in that regard (refresh issues), if purchasing/modifying a better camera might help? I'm a newb with this sort of stuff, however I am in Social-Distancing-Limbo at this time and for the foreseeable future so it's a great time to learn new stuff! Thanks All

Hi all Thanks Dr W! Yes I thought Trackir was a bit overpriced myself so I was also looking at alts. I did use FacetrackNoir briefly when it first came out, but it didn't work well in my setup all those years ago. Trackhat looks promising but due to the virus they are no longer doing orders/shipping out of the UK. I will do some research on DIY I was just concerned that I couldn't find Trackir anywhere in North America, not on Amazon.com or .ca or on N Points website. Even N Points phone number seems to be "not in service". Thanks for tip draconus, I'll look into it. And Lange, it's hilarious that you should mention a "webcam lying around". I literally lent mine (which I hadn't used in years) to the girls next door last week! I think they're doing some baking vids and putting them on youtube so I don't have the heart to ask for it back. Oh well, I'll sort something out. Stay safe all and stop touching your face lol. Get those hands on yer HOTASeseses.

Hiya all. Hope everyone is staying safe and unfortunately lonesome. Thanks Konstantin K for getting me set up on the forums so I can at least post (even that was an issue lol) Downloaded DCS last week and bought the F-16, DC3, and the P Gulf map. I'm new to DCS, but I still have have my old Falcon 4 manual here so yes..I've been out of the loop for a long time (10 yrs+), but back in game and a huge viper fan. I went hiatus from PC gaming fer a long time. Just got tired of having to update my hardware every 18 months. Just spent 4k on a new sys (last sys had bios rev date of 2007 lol) so it's been a while. quick question; is Natural Point out of business or is it that TrackIR is just shut down due to the global C19 crisis? I assume this is the case. My main issue is sitch awareness. I would rather not assign views to to my hat and not ready for VR so I thought TrackIR is the way to go. I just cant find it for sale anywhere (i'm in Canada). I assume its because it's closed down (due to virus) which I totally understand, just curious if it (NaturalPoint) is still a thing(is it still an operating company?) (I don't know as I've been away... for 10 yrs lol}. Cheers Trespasser
