sobe Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I loaded several Aim 9x missiles and did a quick mission. In game I armed, set to AA, loaded the 9xs and turned the HMD dial cw all the way. However, no HMD appears when I move my head. I have tried it with and without tracker but nothing appears. I went into the HMD page and made sure that normal included the standard items that appear in the HMD. My graphic setting are generally set to medium. What am I doing wrong? Also, I noticed no key or axis commands are listed for the HMD and that two that I tried from other posts did not work for me. Not a good DCS day. However, I did get the mavericks to work nicely.

Kayos Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Are you on Open Beta? It has only been released on the beta version so far. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobe Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Kayos Yes. Otherwise the HMD page would not be in the MFD.

TechRoss Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 That doesn't seem right. You don't even need to be in AA mode or have the 9X selected. Maybe try a repair otherwise not sure what else you could try. As far as if can see there is no keybind yet.

backspace340 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Wonder if it's something to do with your monitor set-up. Maybe just set to one monitor and see if it works then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobe Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 backspace340 You got me excited with your suggestion so I turned off Helios and flew only on a single screen. However, still no joy.

backspace340 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hmmmm. Might be worth recording a track & video of it for someone at ED to look at. Might be something obvious we're all missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroyne Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I only bought the F-18 day before yesterday and I am still getting to grips with it. I am also a DCS newb, so please forgive me if this is considered a stupid question. I have got the startup sequence down to about 5 minutes, no warnings or BIT errors etc., have managed a carrier take off, landing (4 attempt) and brassed up a couple of Mig29s, so I am not too bad on the module, however, what do I need to do to setup JHMCS? I know where the brightness knob is, but when I turn it, I am getting nothing when looking away from the HUD like the OP. Have I missed a step somewhere, what do I need to have enabled to get it to run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to say 2.5.3.23788. Updates are released to the Open Beta first so people can hunt down the bugs, the JHMCS will come to stable on the 14th mostly likely.

Deano87 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Make sure you don’t have any F-18 mods installed. Including the hud/screen sharpening mod. This breaks the JHMCS currently.

Thanks, I will check when I get home later one. I have no idea, I thought I was running the open beta, certainly it says Beta on some of the modules......See, told you I was a DCS newb :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gierasimov Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 OB - JHMCS works as soon as you turn the knob. No weapons or A/A mode needed. It does seem that by default the virtual pilot glances at the UFC and not HUD :) Intel i7-13700KF :: ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI D4 :: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB :: MSI RTX 4080 Gaming X Trio :: VKB Gunfighter MK.III MCG Ultimate :: VPC MongoosT-50 CM3 :: non-VR :: single player :: open beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HILOK Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 User error. A mod was the cause. You would think I would have checked that already after all these years. I guess idiots never learn. have you identified the mod(s) causing the issue? i am suspecting as well a mod causing my JHMCS to disfunction from time to time. haven't been able to identify which one for sure though...wondering, if hornet skins could cause the problem, but couldn't reproduce the issue with certainty. that's why i am asking. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
