LWIN G not working for wingman to engage ground targets

[NineLine]

Can you supply a track please.

[Raven434th]

Negative... track files will not save...But in the controls setup UI L WIN + G will not show as activated(no feed back) in the interface ,...all other L WIN +"D,E,R "  commands do.

trk saving is now working

 

wingman ignores ground target quick order( LWIN G)and is also not able to attack air defenses for some reason 

ground target engage fail.trk

Exactly same problem here. LWin+G does nothing (no response, nothing, despite being a lot of ground targets around, and even flying right above them), LWin+D always result in "negative" or "unable" (despite being air defenses in the area). Attemped with 1, 2 and 3 fully-armed wingmen, zero results. Can anyone help, please?

@Raven434th provided a track in 2021 and nobody answered, so it's not "missing info" anymore. His track above is pretty much what is happening to me too 2.5+ years later.

Thanks I will check out the track @thedisturbingspaniardif you are still seeing this, please provide a new track. 

Edit, I am not seeing an issue, so please supply a new track if you are.

Sure, @NineLine, here you have it.

Here I am, leading 4 Devil's Chariots, approaching a group of defenseless trucks for some training, protected by barely 2 Avengers, and betrayed by a big fat smoke marker.

Every time that I asked my buddies to attack the air defenses (LWin+D), or attack the bandits (LWin+B, even if there are no bandits, I've just used it as an indicator), I was also hitting LWin+G like mad. While eventually "attack the air defenses" had a (fruitless) effect when almost overflying them, LWin+G had no effect (as in the original @Raven434th problem) even while overflying the target trucks ---no response, no reaction, no nothing, as if I wasn't hitting LWin+G. In a perfectly clear day, and approaching at 3 different altitudes and speeds. Actually, you'll see how I'm shot down by the Avengers while busy trying to estimate the distances in the f***ing middle of the trucks and my buddies running away from them with their tails between their legs.

I'm using "vanilla" DCS, single-player, last version, all updated, on a more than powerful enough computer (enough to run DCS smoothly at all-maximum resolution and realism effects with lots of fighting things in my missions ---but this one is "clean" except for the land facilities, the choppers and the presumed targets).

Later I attempted to change LWin+G to another keyboard combo, and also to a joystick button, with the same (lack of) effect. It's as if it didn't exist.

Hey, @NineLine! Could you watch my track?

BTW, after more tests and trials, I found that can order my wingmen to attack ground targets via the comms radio menu. However, the "fast key" LWin+G continues to be totally "dead". This is pretty inconvenient in the heat of a fight TBH.

For me LWin+G open xbox game bar so it was in collision with DCS. However you did wrote you try to change it for another combo so it is not the case. For me personally after i change it for something else it works. I meen i was able send the message, the ability of wingmen actually kill something is other story. What i really miss in editor is option to set up immortality separately for my wingmen. There is only option to set up immortality for whole group including me , what is not what i want to do.
