Spacebar to continue...

[SGT Coyle]

Can we get a "Space bar to continue" delay on messages passing coordinates please?  I play VR and trying to write things down is a pain.  For those that don't like it, hit space bar to continue.

To be honest I thought I had something likev that in place already, either that or a way to recall the coords if needed.  Exclusively a VR user myself so I always need the help too.  Is there a particular mission you have noticed it on or is it a problem throughout?

I just started playing DCS again after a bit of a break.  So having to learn the CDU again ( to be honest never was very good at it.  To many numbers going by).
You have a "Press Space Bar to Receive Coordinates" in mission one, but then they linger a bit on screen and disappear.  Then you can F10-Other => F1-Repeat Coordinates.  They don't last very long, and got to be a bit frustrating when I wasn't able to ask for second repeat. The F10 option wasn't available.

My biggest issue is entering numbers in while someone (the voice over ) is talking.

I would argue that since you are already utilizing the "Press space bar to continue" message to receive use it to acknowledge  and move on.
I've been having DCS issues and have crashed the game twice at the same spot in Mission #1.  I don't think it's anything to do with the mission.  I think it;s Voice Attack / VIACOM Dictation.

Ah ok, I think in later missions I keep things on screen until you press space.

OK, thanks.
Look forward to getting past Mission #1.  I'm having cob webb issues.

I just finished the campaign (awesome BTW) and yes, later missions do have press space to continue for coords.

However, I would still just pause the mission to take notes - but I know with VR that won't work.

I'm using TrackIR and have started to have a pen and paper next to me for things like coords and for the "9-line". In the first mission I think it was necessary to write it down but in mission 6 they are in the F10 menu for review.

I just have to say.. it truly is awesome.
I'm still only at mission 7 and I'm enjoying this soo much. It has everything I've imagined about being an A-10 pilot in the gulf area and is extremely well made. With pdfs and vids. Haven't encountered the smallest glitch yet. It works very well. I also appreciate the F10 menu it has become second nature to use it. Great story, great voiceovers and long realistic missions. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, great to hear you're having a good time!

I'm playing the campaign now and ran into this issue. I'm using the DCS UFC app for my CDU interface, so I hit Escape, brought up the message history (which shows the coords), and typed them into my CDU tablet.
