AKA_Clutter Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) All, I sure hope someone can help. I seem to have some sort of conflict between DCS and something else. When in-game when I press the RALT key I get a "pop" sound and then I see the message "Bookmark saved @ xxx.yy seconds". See the attached screenshot of the message. Sorry about the quality, but I fly in VR and the screenshots aren't the best. I had the issue about a year ago and it was solved up until about 3 weeks ago. The program that I thought was causing the issue a year ago is no longer on my system. To make matters worse, the problem is somewhat intermittent. Both between sessions, and with in the same session. For example I was flying tonight and for the first 45 minutes, I had not issues. Commands that used "RALT from the joystick (and keyboard)worked just fine. After that the issue appeared. About 15 minutes later (after ALT-tabbing out and back in it stopped ... .... for about 15 minutes, and then it came back. As far as I know I haven't changed any setting, beyond WINDOWS 10 updates, and DCS updates. I do use TM's TARGET, and thought that might be an issues. I don't think it is because 1) I have been using TARGET for 4+ years, 2) it occurs when I press the RALT key on the keyboard, and 3) the issue is intermittent HELP!!!!

AKA_Clutter Posted November 7, 2021 Author Posted November 7, 2021 I did try that, and thought that was the issue. However, I am not sure that it is because 1) I have been using TARGET for 4+ years and in general haven't seen this issue, 2) it occurs when I press the RALT key on the keyboard, and 3) the issue is intermittent so it is hard to say why it isn't occurring. I will try again but I am hoping some others have seen this issue. ---------------- AKA_Clutter Win 10 Pro, Intel i7 12700k @4.6 GHz, EVGA RTX 3080 FTW, Ultra 64 GB G.Skill DDR4 3600 RAM, Acer 27" flat screen, HP Reverb G2, TM Warthog HOTAS with Virpil warBRD base, MFG Rudder Pedals, Virpil TCS Rotor Base with AH-64Dcollective, TrackIR 5 Pro w/Vector Expansion, PointCTRL.
AKA_Clutter Posted November 7, 2021 Author Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) OK< I finally got a little smarter and decided to look in the DCS log since DCS text messaging was printing "Bookmark saved @ xxx.yy seconds". This is what I found. 2021-11-07 02:36:54.001 INFO TACVIEW.DLL: Bookmark saved @ +2963.35 seconds 2021-11-07 02:36:54.028 DEBUG LuaGUI: --- onChatMessage--- Bookmark saved @ +2963.35 seconds 0 So my issue seems to be some interface with TacView. What is still weird is the intermittent behavior. I fly VR now, but when I used Track IR I know that you could set it such that it would capture a keystroke and NOT pass it through to DCS (or any other running program). Does anyone know if TacView does something similar?

AKA_Clutter Posted November 9, 2021 Author Posted November 9, 2021 OK, I have confirmed that the bookmark is being made by TacView. In the DCS Settings > Special > TacView screen there is an entry for "Bookmark" and it shows the command as "RALT + B". There doesn't seem to be anyway to change this in DCS. I also confirmed this by unchecking the option to record a file. With this unchecked I did not get the sound or the message. What is still strange is that with TM TARGET running (or at elast for my F-16 profile) the HOTAS presses that give me this issue are NOT RALT + B. Theny do contain RALT + other keys. Still try to debug. 1 ---------------- AKA_Clutter Win 10 Pro, Intel i7 12700k @4.6 GHz, EVGA RTX 3080 FTW, Ultra 64 GB G.Skill DDR4 3600 RAM, Acer 27" flat screen, HP Reverb G2, TM Warthog HOTAS with Virpil warBRD base, MFG Rudder Pedals, Virpil TCS Rotor Base with AH-64Dcollective, TrackIR 5 Pro w/Vector Expansion, PointCTRL.

Still try to debug. My throttle buttons do sometimes work sometimes not actually, sometimes after restart. Virpil MongoosT (first one). 4 weeks pause from DCS, before everything fgine, now a mess. I did not install any updates of Virpil, but ED ran some. Btw, in Il2 everything is normal and running fine.
