Akmatov Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 Just bought the L-39 to get me started learning DCS and the tooltips just vanished. Checked Settings and Tooltips show as enabled. What could be wrong? PS that would be Steam DCS
Ramsay Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Just bought the L-39 to get me started learning DCS and the tooltips just vanished. Checked Settings and Tooltips show as enabled. What could be wrong? TL;DR: ATM tooltips arn't avaiable in the L-39 training missions. Detail: You don't say which mission, etc. but for some reason tooltips work by default in 'normal' missions but 'training' missions, need the writer to 'enforce' tooltips ON in his mission. A quick look at the first two L-39 training .miz 'options' files ["difficulty"] = { ... ["tips"] = false, ... }, -- end of ["difficulty"] ... shows tooltips are OFF. I don't know if they are all like that. Working L-39 training mission tooltips were OFF in DCS 1.5.7.9459, ON in DCS 2.5.0.14304 and are now OFF again in DCS 2.5.2.20143 - so it looks like a regression of some kind. File dates (ie. L39-Training-1-Start-Taxi-TO.miz) on my PC are 15/03/2018 Some older posts on the same subject: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3252268&postcount=10 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3412801&postcount=4 Tested DCS 2.5.2.20143 Edited August 11, 2018 by Ramsay i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 11 Pro x64, Odyssey G93SC 5120X1440
Akmatov Posted August 11, 2018 Author Posted August 11, 2018 That is very helpful, I'm not losing my mind a 0300, they would have disappeared after the latest update. :D ED got it wrong, tooltips should especially be present in Training Missions. Out of curiosity, I'm going to look at the L-39 training .miz 'options' files and see if changing ["tips"] = false to 'true' helps. For a near total newbie, tooltips are essential.
