Modules start in Theater map

[farmertom]

How can I stop DCS modules from starting in Theater Map and I can't get to cockpit view (F1).

I have been experimenting with HOSTAS profiles ,but sometime my A-10C and P-51D modules start in Theater map and I can get to cockpit view(F1). Some profiles may have had some TrackIR stuff in them. I have reset all profiles back to default and no joy. I have checked the controls and keyboard F1 Is defined as cockpit view...Perplexexd:cry:

 

any advice?

Just a guess, if you set up the mission yourself with the mission editor, make sure that you select "Player" as pilot.

 

 

 

You find it when clicking on the aircraft symbol on the map, within the editor. Then, in the top right of the screen there is a menu apperaing with a bunch of options. One is for the pilot and properbly reads something like "Excellent", or something.

Thanks, I am not creating my own mission I am using the quick missions.. I will do as you suggested next time This occurs.

 

Since I think this has something to do with the HOSTAS profiles, I loaded the X-55 default profile and ran the quick missions..all went well. Next I loaded my own created profile, and it went well also..So what changed?

 

I think this started when I loaded a profile that was used with TrackIR..Are there any commands in a HOSTAS profile for a TrackIR? Could this be it? I don't use TrackIR.

 

Thanks

Ok the problem still exists. Sometimes it starts OK, others it starts showing the map and I can't get out of it..F1 does not work. F2, etc does:cry:

 

 

Thanks:)

 

 

EDIT I think I had a problem logging into DCS. I should read the message windows better. I think I solved the problem ....So please disregard...
