Menus Present

[SGT Coyle]

Menus present and slowly flashing on and off.( thanks for reminding me Hornblower793)

 

• I have menus disabled, and PPT Dial set to Multi in Viocom CP.
  

 

• Mission settings in editor, "Easy Comms" not checked.
  

 

• DCS Game Settings "Easy Coms" not checked.
  

I don't know what else to check.

Any help appreciated.

Have you also set the custom path in DCS config and checked the OB box if you are on OB - this clears it for me (assuming you are seeing the menu flashing on and off)

That did it.

Thanks.

 

 

To be clear, what should the "Custom Path" setting be?

 

• Check box Checked or not?
  
• Path set to DCS OB Folder or DCS OB .exe?
  
• OB box checked or not?
  

That particular setting is confusing. If I'm setting the path to OB why the OB check box? What's the setting checkbox for?

 

 

I set all boxes checked, and path to folder. All seems to be working.

Glad it sorted it

 

 

 

The path should be to the root folder of your DCS installation (mine is E:\Games\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta

 

 

The flag is because you can install your DCS into a folder wherever you like and call it what you like. Check the box if it is an OB install and not if it is stable (although there might be some funny inverse setting on steam)

inverse setting worked for me (un-ticked). My DCS is the standard non-steam version.

Does anyone know what the OB box actually does? Is it just telling VP which Saved Games folder it should be looking for or is there something more? There seems to be a bit of voodoo involved with flicking it on or off to get this working properly in the last few months.

Remember you‘all need to do it after each DCS update as well.

It should be, but ED changed the way some of the comms elements worked moving from 2.5.5 to 2.5.6 so there are different setups required from VAICOM at the moment depending on which version people are using (and seemingly whether it is Steam or standalone) - should be back to normal when stable eventually gets an update
