Sudden problems with F-14

[Cougar747]

Hello,

all of a sudden, my F-14 behaves really weird:

When spawning in ( hot ) on a carrier in a custom made scenario, there‘s no HDG, VSI and RALT scale on the HUD, no matter which mode is selected.

Furthermore, the flight model feels sluggish when circling around the boat during a CASE-1 recovery. When in the break, it descend‘s excessivly, although I follow the same procedures and techniques as before.

Furthermore, the DLC is not efficient anymore, it barely causes any reaction in pitch.

And last not least, DCS became unresponsive and even crashed.

This all happens after I‘ve made a simple custom scenario for Heatblurs F-4E Phantom. I don‘t think that this is the reason, bit since I‘ve made the scenario, everything on the F-14 behaves weird.

Should I re-install the F-14 module? 
How can I backup my F-14 joystick bindings and assignments?

Thanks in advance

Best regards,

Toto

the keyboard and HOTAS bindings are under:

<somewhere>\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\F-14

<somewhere> under c:\users\<my_user_id>

How about try "Instant Action" first to verify the default setup from HB?

Make sure you have electric power, your HUD is on and mode is set to Take Off. Check also HUD brightness knob.

Check fuel quantity and loadout. Sounds like heavy jet. Did you get "your flight is delayed" message at the start by any chance?

DLC is precisely designed to not change the pitch at all. Only the descent rate.

DCS repair, clean and removing mods is always a good thing especially when it crashes for you.
