Can't get off default game settings

[CHARITY1317]

Any attempt to play missions, campaigns, or instant actions results in the settings being in "game" mode instead of "sim" mode. The only exception is tutorials which are in sim mode. I set my settings to the "simulation" preset and have the box "Use these options for any mission" clicked yet these seem to have no effect. Have tried uninstalling the game but that had no effect.

When you first get into DCS, choose Options (the gear icon in the upper left of your menu screen), go to the GAMEPLAY tab and ensure that Game Flight Mode is NOT checked. That should do it.

It is off that's my problem, no matter what I change the settings to in the Gameplay tab it doesn't change the settings when I try to play the game.

 

 

 

My current settings are Tool Tips checked, Labels set to none, F10 View set to All, F10 Map User Marks checked, Icons NATO, English, Imperial, G-Effects Realistic, and Use these settings for any missions checked. But if I try to play anything but a tutorial I get the Game mode settings.

I've got the same problem. I've unchecked the game flight mode box. The DCS options.lua file contains the following line:

 

["easyFlight"] = false,

 

Despite this, the Mig 29 from flaming cliffs comes in with the "cheat" radar up on the top right hand side of the screen and the F-18's controls are in game mode, not sim mode.

 

Was a solution ever found?

also check game avionics in the options, if it is on you will still see the easy radar

TL;DR:

 

Was a solution ever found?

It sounds like

 

• DCS>Options>Misc. - Overlays, Game Avionics Mode = ON

 

has been enabled at some time, turning it OFF should fix your issue.

 

 

Detail:

 

I've got the same problem. I've unchecked the game flight mode box.

 

This is

 

• DCS>Options>Gameplay - Game Flight Mode=OFF

 

Despite this, the Mig 29 from flaming cliffs comes in with the "cheat" radar up on the top right hand side of the screen

The "cheat" radar is

 

• DCS>Options>Misc. - Overlays, Game Avionics Mode = OFF

 

and the F-18's controls are in game mode, not sim mode.

The F-18C (like many modules) has two control schemes

 

• Options>Controls - F/A-18C Game

• Options>Controls - F/A-18C Sim

 

Make sure to bind your controls using the 'F/A-18C Sim' profile. However it's likely the Overlay, Game Avionics Mode is effecting the Hornet's systems modelling.

 

Note: if you've created any missions in the past, it's possible they've been saved with 'Game' options 'baked in', so will need to be edited/re-saved with your desired setting (Mission Editor - Set Mission Options, checkboxes).

The Game Avionics mode was the culprit. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit how long I'd had this problem for but I'm super keen to get stuck in now.

 

Thanks to all who responded
