This happens when there is a broken link to the flight model, mostly from past edits changing FM Names in the config.lua etc.

Pretty sure GD released an update that fixes everything without a need to edit files.

Wow!

I'm still sadly unable to get my plane to respond to pitch inputs. I'm using the latest F-22 release from GD and am 99% sure I've installed the enhancement correctly. I've tried changing binds and restarting the game but no luck. Hoping I can get some help fixing it here.

Not at home at the moment but I downloaded V3 the day it was released and had problems with he pitch as well, I tried clearing the bindings and re-adding but still had no pitch as such.

I solved it by using the normal pitch settings when assigning the axis, rather than the F-22 ones that where previously used. I think the graphic image on the website has been updated now, several former F-22 bindings now require the normal DCS ones to work correctly, when I downloaded originally it still had everything saying you had to use dedicated F-22 settings.

Also what's the enhancement you installed? The F-22A V3 should really be installed fresh, not overwriting anything so I just removed the original folder and replaced it with the V3 folder. Some people where making the mistake of installing V3 then adding the few lines of code from the original fix by SkateZilla which broke it as it's been re-coded.

I'm using the enhancement mod from Nightstorm, is it out dated now? To be honest I didn't really wanna read 55 pages so that's on me if so. When using the F-22A alone it works fine I was just wanting the enhancement for my singleplayer shenanigans.

[Archangel44]

What I did was remove the entire F-22 folder from:

Local Drive/ users/saved games/ DCS/ mods/ aircraft… and installed the recent 3.0 version, mapped controls like you would with a vanilla DCS plane and it works.

The plane works alright however I can’t load any A2G ordinance, only A2A. 
 

I miss the B-61 nukes. I created a mission where I used the F22 to wipe out a city full of bad guys. Morbid, I know but what the heck, it’s only Sim.

I haven't used the Nightstorm mod but unless it's had a recent update there's a chance it's outdated and the recent changes to both DCS and the F-22A might cause a few issues, looks that was as it works okay if you use it alone.

I did the same as you, I always start fresh with a new version unless it's just an update patch. I've saved all my profiles as well for the controllers so if there is an issue I can just load them back rather than re-adding them.

I notice that as well it's only A2A now, like you I miss loading up on A2G as I normally have a play about in some test missions and start off with the ground attack then have a couple of A2A on board for any aircraft coming my way.

Today installed version 3.0 of the mod. Please help to solve the problem with HUD. Full restoration of DCS I have done. No other mods are installed. The F-15C HUD is displayed correctly.

All you need to do is move your head/view forward.

Use the Numeric / and * keys to zoom in and out to see if anything changes and the hud displays correctly.

Also when you installed did you overwrite the files, ideally it needs to be a fresh install so better off removing the F-22A folder completely. If you just dragged across and the files were over written try doing a fresh install of the F-22A v3.0 using only the files within that, only thing you can save if you got any is Liveries.

Found a bug, i had posted this in the 2d video forums but on further testing, I found out it's the f22 with the problem... no other aircraft have the issue

 

the sun is a huge big blinding blur and it comes through walls and everything, first-person only, 3rd is fine, pictures below

 

Here too I have "seen the light" after updating from an older F-22A mod version to v3.0.

It seems the file  F22_CANOPY_GLASS_NRM.dds  is missing in the v3.0 cockpit textures located in  <username>\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft\F-22A\Textures\F-22A_Cockpit.zip

Adding the missing DDS from the previous version of the F-22A mod to the v3.0 cockpit texture ZIP file mentioned above solved the problem.

I did this with the Z axis and with the Numeric control keys ‘/’ and ‘*’.   Corrected! You need to assign the axis to ‘’cockpit camera, longitudinal offset (absolute)‘’. Zoom Numeric control keys ‘/’ and ‘*’ are increase/decrease view angle. It's very strange that it works that way.

Yeah does seem a bit odd, although for me I've not got any axis assigned just the Numeric keys. Will have a look later but sure my none of my axis are used, I cleared them all to set up from scratch after messing with the settings when stuff wouldn't work.

The HUD being too large like that is usually a symptom of a bad "Views.lua" file

worked like a charm,

downloaded this:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/47d2gu21874torf/F-22A Multi Player.7z?dl=0

opened the zip, grabbed the .dds file and dropped it into the zip in the new raptor (v3) folder and now we are away

great catch, thank you so much for finding that!

[LHP]

ok, stupid question time, 

 

how do you use the autopilot?

I've been flying around trying to figure it out, I've tried pushing shortcut keys, tried pressing "ap" on the ufc then selecting the modes I want, but it just keeps doing what it wants, no ap at all.

I watched a growling sidewinder video that showed the FCS page with FCS auto but I don't see that either

 

what am I missing?

[Archangel44]

The FCS is not functional at this time.

As far as the autopilot, I believe you are doing it right, there on the UFC and perhaps it’s not working now.

Since those last couple of updates, the F-22 hasn’t worked like it used to.

I believe the creator of this mod is still in the process of bringing things back to 100%.
 

Its a great player created mod.

A lot of things doesn't work in mod v3.0.

Does gear up/down, air brake and flaps works for you guys?

Works fine for me, only thing I found now is it's A/A only, no A/G capabilities but not come across anything that's not working. I know a few people had issues that was mainly caused by people installing v3.0 then applying one of the previous fixes so breaking it. Personally I saved the liveries folder then deleted the F-22A folder completely and just did a fresh copy and had no issues at all. 

Only thing I will say is I had to change some of the key bindings, the original ones that had to be bound to F-22 HOTAS no longer work, you have to revert to the DCS key bindings but can't remember off hand which ones it was.

[mrjay]

Thanks i will do fresh installation and check what I have done wrong the first time.
