That did not work for me. DCS World 2.5.6 is still getting stuck at 10% on loading. I noticed an update for VAICOM today, but that did not fix the issue. Running DCS World without VA and VAICOM has no problems.

Really appreciate the quick answers and the offered help! I was using the JPG Files provided in the CTS root folder to get a good grip on the key layouts, but as I said above they just don't seem to match up :noexpression: E.g. I can't use the TRIM-HAT to look around in the cockpit, but the JPG says it should be mapped to FOV/Trim and Padlock in elevated/shifted mode. I'l shoot you a PM once I have more time pinpoint my issues more clearly.

Hi everyone, first of all a big "Thank you!" for the work you put into this Script Editor. However I encoutered a couple of problems while trying this out. I just recently got a HOTAS Warthog Setup of my own and was looking for various premade profiles to map all the buttons for the various modules I own. I followed your setup guide to the letter. Set up all the folders, profile files, VIACOM Pro, Chatter, AI RIO, configured CTS itself as described in the setup guide and setup the necessary modifiers in DCS for the profiles and VIACOM. Running the profile went well enough, however NONE of the buttons that are mentioned in the provided JPGs seem to do the thinks they are supposed to do. Not even the simplest "MASTER ARM Toggle" is mapped correctly on the M-2000C I tok at least two hours to setup everything up properly, yet nothing I tried works. 1.) I don't own any MFDs 2.) I don't own any HeadTracking or VR hardware 3.) I don't own rudders, yet :( I know I am supposed to get the above mentioned hardware pieces to get the full experience, but is there no way to make this work? What am I doing wrong? Please help a fellow airman in need or point me in the right direction. Thanks boys!

thank you so much for taking this issue seriously. that fix didn't take long to boot out! i for my part, really appreciate the hard work. cheers

i did some extensive testing yesterday. loading the "instant action" mission into the editor can circumvent the CTDs. simply loading the mission from the main menu often results in a crash. however trying to load it over and over again, sometimes seems to work. the free "flight mission" crashes less than the "cold start". maybe it has something to do with flicking switches?

just bought the module and i can't even do a single mission. either the game crashes on loading the module or after a couple of seconds inside the cockpit. seriously considering a refund already... logs.zip

Cool. I didn't know about that :)

I am grateful for every WWII server out there, but I really dislike how your modpack voids the air of every flyby sound there is. Is this supposed to be realistic?

the guns work fine now. you can easily see the tracers for all four mgs. however the muzzle fire effect is missing for one of the 20mm in the external view.

the thing tends to get messed up and stuck when I fiddle with the CBs during flight :/ http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2311596&postcount=22

Ok my testing is done. Using only the CBs for fuel management doesn't do the trick either. You have to use both the shutoff valve lever and the CBs in order to use up the fuel in the rear tank first. I suggest the following procedure (but only a dev might clear up this part): Before and during takeoff: 1.) Shutoff valve lever "Open". 2.) All necessary CBs pushed in. 3.) Takeoff and start your climb. During flight: 1.) Shutoff valve lever to "front closed" 2.) CB for forward fuel pump set to "off". 3.) Fuel indicator set to "rear". 4.) Observe fuel being emptied from the rear tank first. 5.) Once the rear tank fuel warning light illuminates, put the shutoff valve lever to "Open" and push the CB for the forward fuel pump. 6.) Once the rear tank is completely empty, disable the rear fuel pump via the according CB. Again I don't know if this is the correct way to handle things, but it is the only way I was able to use up the rear tank first. The fuel management might still be buggy though. Be warned about a certain bug: once you start messing with your CBs during flight, I noticed that my speed indicator sometimes gets "stuck" and displays 0 km/h. The issue is also describes in the the following topic http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=138601

I agree. I couldn't find a complete manual for the real Dora online to determine how real WWII pilots would handle fuel management, but I did some testing just a few minutes ago. So here we go. 1.) When flying without a drop tank and 100% fuel (e.g. Cold Start, Instant Action from the Main Menu), setting the fuel shutoff lever to top most "Open" position and switching on the front and rear fuel pumps via the CBs, the Dora draws fuel from both tanks unequally. Flying at 3000rpm @ 5000m until the rear tank is empty leaves you with about 55%-60% in your front fuel tank. 2.) Flying at 3000rpm @ 5000m with the fuel shutoff lever set for "Front closed" seems to empty the rear tank first as suggested by the manual. Still, the plane draws some fuel from the front tank (less than one fith of the full quantity though), since the fuel pump is set to on. I have not tested the fuel management with the CBs only, but I will do so shortly after I made this post. The Manual's page 98 is an utter mess btw.... I quote (typos inculuded): "In Flight: Fuel shutoff valve "Open" (Roger) Drawing of fuel is controlled by switching "On" and "Off of the fuel tank pumps. (Roger) Monitoring of fuel quantity by observing the selectable fuel tank indicator (roger) First empty the rear tank, with rear fuel pump switched off. (only when read lamp illuminates before the white lamp, isolate forward fuel tank with its fuel shutoff valve). Fuel quantity indicator on the rear fuel tank. (This is where is get lost. Does the plane really empty the rear fuel tank first, when I switch off the rear fuel pump?) When the white lamp illuminates, switch both fuel tanks to "On". Fuel shutoff valve reamins in position "Open". (The white lamp is modeled to display the fuel quantity in the front tank. I thought we were supposed to empty the rear tank first? So I guess the fuel warning lights have been switched. The white lamp should indicate an empty rear tank (tank switch warning), the red lamp should indicate low fuel for the front tank. Currently these seem to be implemented wrong!) Fuel quantity indicator to foward fuel tank. (Makes sense when the rear tank is empty) When red lamp illuminates , 90-100 liter reman in forward fuel tank, remaining available flight time approximately 10 to 15 minutes at Economy power setting (the lamp issue again :helpsmilie:. Now the red light indicates an almost empty front tank, but it doesn't ingame. Which Economy setting? I (2700rpm), II (2400rpm) or III (2100rpm)?)"

thanks for clarifying :)

Elmo I find your posts rather confusing. First you say that So: 1.) Use your rear fuel tank first. 2.) After takeoff keep all CBs pushed in and 3.) close the front tank using the shutoff lever. But then you state, that What's it going to be now in order to use fuel from the rear tank first? CB on or off? Is is enough to only use the fuel shutoff lever? I guess only a test will show. Speculating does not help in this case, since the maunal i poorly worded for that section :pilotfly: edit: I just stumbled upon this thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=134169 Although the fuel system in the D9 might differ from that of the A series, the user observed a similar (buggy?) behavior.

i think i might consider buying the trackir then...lofc and the dcs series are so worth it!
