On this new PC I can't get the PTT button to register on any controller. I downloaded a simple program called AntiMicroX. You can do a lot but I only have the single key bound to a keystroke and it seems to work fine as PTT.

All done and running ..... mostly. It doesn't like some old USB devices, changing ports helped with the head tracking camera. And then the same ..change ports again and working again. Plus my X52 is acting up too... The cooling mods help, it runs .5 deg cooler with the case closed up. Air filter box below blends right in. I bought a display panel for inside the case(bottom left) to display temps etc but I'm having some trouble figuring out the display program. Final parts list. Hmm. The video card is listed here much more than the $879 that I paid for it only a few weeks ago.

On the new computer the plane spotting was not so great but since going through post 1 here they're much better. Pick up planes at 20k if I zoom in although the dots are pretty small. I copied the startup.cfg and renamed it as the original just in case before I started Oh yeah. I changed one thing. There's a section in the startup.cfg about max framerate. I assume a value of 0 is unlimited. I changed that to twice the refresh rate of my monitor (120 for me).

UPDATE 31ST MAY 2024 Persian Gulf Map 10:00 Only Reduced effect of fuel tanker explosion Added new small outpost south east of airfield with troop pickup available.

Yes I send them a copy

Nice work on the back story delta. Just a quick question do you send Deacon this by email as he and his guys may not have visibility?

24th May 1940 Gentlemen The enemy advance has been swift and relentless, their tanks covering great distance at speed and sewing panic to troops and civilians alike. In the air they have targeted civilians on the road and in cities. The allies have retreated to the west . We have set up on old WW1 airfields to defend Paris. The last major obstacle is the marne river. They are building up forces to cross the last major obstacle before the French capital. Like in the great war we hope to hold this line, halt their advance then force a retreat. The battles primary target will be a large enemy troop encampment with secondary supply lines to be hit Ground attack have to attack targets in 1307 1410 1508 1612 hurricanes are to provide cover. The enemy have standing air cover, patrolling at between 6000 and 10000 ft. The hurricanes are to intercept these and draw them away from the ground attack forces. il2s will take off from bon maison and corbarieu hurricanes from mt soisson Pierrefonds cravacan this is a tight map but seems to work ok, airfields are rough but you can successfully take off with flaps and full power. there will be some anomolies as I have had to use a WW1 map for this sector but hopefully wont impact on the mission Next mission is scheduled for Sunday 2nd at 21:00 GMT. Please be on TeamSpeak by 20:45 We will be flying Dogz settings so MODS ON; plane on minimap, icons on, unrestricted loadouts. .303 machine guns only for hurricanes max 250lb bombs , no rockets. This is a dogfight and you will start parked next to runway. There are unlimited planes.

Just grabbed this screen shot from the live feed

UPDATE 27th MAY 2024 Persian Gulf Map 10:00 Only Changed F10 "Other" Menu structure to include new target practice option. Split option to spawn in active AI from East or West zone to its own menu option. Created new option for A2A Target Practice. Added option to spawn in 4 x IL-76 as target practice as well as unarmed and armed Mig-21's.

Iromike at Heatblur has posted some responses, tips and recommendations in regards to some common theme user issues that are being reported with the F-4E module: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/349458-issues-you-may-encounter-when-trying-the-f-4e-for-the-first-time-and-how-to-avoid-them/#comment-5440589

https://forum.dcs.world/topic/348817-mastering-your-first-phantom-flight/#comment-5438813 From Victory205, an ex-US Navy F-14 pilot who clearly has some F4 time also... so it's legit.

UPDATE 24TH MAY 2024 Following the "hic-ups" last night I have just uploaded a new mission to the server with the following changes. Please test if you can either today or over the weekend. Persian Gulf Map 10:00 Only Removed ALL mods; A4-E, Bronco, Hercules, UH-60L (its only 3 weeks to the CH-47, I can wait..) You may need to back-up and remove them from your local install as well (or just unload if you use JSGME or similar) for a full test if you still get some performance issues. Scaled back the DML additions Removed the Bombing Range logic Removed the Owned Zones logic Changed back the deployed helicopter troops logic

UPDATE 23RD MAY 2024 Persian Gulf Map 10:00 Only Added Phantom Updated some features of DML Added new Bombing Range located just South West of the airfield. This will report your accuracy. Added 3 new zones that can be captured with ground troops. Laying foundations for a possible on going campaign. Added flyable Hercules for cargo dropping practice. This map does not have limited resources at air fields yet.

You can look at the controls.lua file if you really want, but it's not going to help you. Things that do the same thing are not necessarily going to be called exactly the same thing, so it doesn't really work. In the time to research, you could map it from fresh 5 times over.

One month to go! Wh00t!

I think there is a program to do that Delta. I think that Wingy has used something to copy binds over.

Surely the program must write individual plane schemes to a file and that you can open up the files side by side and compaire and copy over from one to another? Im away to investigate further

Muscle memory should tell you where all the common options go (gear, flaps, trim, rudder, pitch, roll, counter measures, brakes, comms menu etc). Mapping them again really does not take that long. And with the F4 there are also many many more we will all have restless nights over thinking where can I put this or would it be better moving that from here to there!

Nope. Sorry Dave.

Is there an easy way to copy key commands from my F5 to my f4 Or a place I can see all my F5 inputs to manually copy similar inputs across

UPDATE 22nd May 2024 Syria Map 10:00 Only Added F4-E (Phantom) to main base plus also Cyprus Added 3 new zones that can be captured with ground troops. AI will try and re-capture them. (ground work for my own dynamic campaign)

Server has been updated.

A doozy!
