@Beatty said in Device sorting problem:

Hi,

I’ve just installed BMS 4.37 after not playing BMS for a while.

I’ve got an saitek x55 hotas which i try to set up, but bms is always inverting my stick and throttle devicies in the device sorting, always putting the throttle first which messes up the key bindings.

I’ve read the device setup and bms technical manual where it is stated to alter the order in the device sorting txt after closing BMS which should fix the problem. However tried it multiple times already and everytime on startup BMS is changing the order again.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

Are you using Alternative Launcher to establish the keybinds?

@Snake122 said in Clean U6 Using OpenXR w/HP Reverb G2 Causes CTD in 3D:

FWIW, can’t replicate here with 1.1 and 1.3 settings, runs fine. So maybe as @rubbra is saying, stressing hardware (video card?) too much.

@dawgboy @tmz42 what’s your video cards?

AMD Radeon RX Vega 64, 8Gb VRAM.

And like I said, what changed from U5 to U6 that would then tax my GPU that much? I’ve been able to pump it up to res value 1.4 before, and while it was laggy, it never bombed (CTD).

@POLARIS1

I read on a real-life forum this is also true for F-15E, e.g., UHF in one ear/VHF in the other, but can’t confirm the source, which was a Strike Eagle crew chief on Reddit.

@johku Do you mean to have OFMKTO in both lists? Thanks.

@Snake122 I’d be interested to know how your Win11 testing goes. I have two sets of X56F, and I’m wondering if a neighbor can use one if on Win11, without the Saitek drivers/software. TIA.

@Stuntman said in Clean U6 Using OpenXR w/HP Reverb G2 Causes CTD in 3D:

The U6 Change Log says This “OpenXR Toolkit will NOT work and will cause BMS to crash (please remove / disable the tool as it is discontinued)”

Thanks. This IS NOT the issue. Both users with this issue DO NOT have that toolkit installed.

FYI: I just heard from a former Super Hornet pilot: they cannot separate different bands/radios into left and right helmet audio. I realize this has no bearing on the Viper question, regarding RL capabilities.

@eVhWolfgang said in VKB STECS Standard keymapping:

Greetings, does anyone have a keymap for the STECS Standard beyond the F-16 throttle buttons in the docs? I’m relatively new to using a HOTAS and am looking for some ideas. Thanks in advance.

Howdy. Here’s my setup.

@FritZ said in Coastal Front Theater:

By design. The early A model never had those “comforts” (there are stories of pilots closing chaff bundles in the airbrake for a one time use)

This is true. At that time, the USAF couldn’t afford to acquire these countermeasures. I used to prebrief the USAF F15A pilots in the late-70s/early-80s, and they’d hand out boxes of chaff to the flight during the prebrief, if needed for that specific training mission. They’d have the crew chief put the box in the speed brake during ramp startup. I think there was an event when an Eagle speed brake came off in flight when deployed, so they stopped dispensing chaff this way until they determined what caused the speed brake loss…if memory serves, chaff wasn’t the cause.

Ok who else read this thread title as “4.38 testers needed” for a second.

Totally me!

In MP, I’ve seen this at Soesan…C17 successfully lands and explodes. I can’t say it was trying to turn, because I looked down at the time to change to tower freq as we held short. This was in v4.37.6, in a TE we’d used before in earlier versions without seeing this behavior. However, I’m not suggesting it started with v4.37.6.

@rubbra said in Advice Pimax Crystal Light:

@EMTEC46 At the moment, it doesn’t really matter which one you choose. If they both perform ok, pick which ever is easier (I’d go OpenXR, but that’s just so you don’t have to start SteamVR every time)

@cerberus0351

On my old box, currently working up the new PC, SteamVR gave me a much smaller 2D menu world, and OpenXR gave me one that was larger than life and in front of me. I struggled with SteamVR…OpenXR just ran better all around. Again, this was on my old PC with AMD Vega x64 and 7-8 y/o MoBo.

And yes, starting SteamVR each time, waiting for it to check for updates, etc., was a hassle.

@Archer
@cerberus0351

Are you on Win11? If so, what software modules do you need installed to run BMS, such as the specific OpenXR, etc.? I’m trying to stay away from Steam.

I just fired up my new rig with NV 5090 GPU and AMD 9950X3D CPU. I’m running Win11 Pro…and awaiting my Crystal Super.

Thanks in advance.

@cerberus0351

I also have the Pimax Super 57PPD on pre-order. I’m confused as to what I’m going to get as included accessories, but I’ve had it on backorder since last year. Have you figured that out? I’m about to ask them for details, but I wanted to check here first. TIA for this and the rundown here.

I ordered last Oct, 2024.

PIMAX answer: free shipping, comfort top-strap, and DMAS are all included; DMAS is the Deluxe Modular Audio Strap. It includes high-fidelity earphones for enhanced audio in VR.

@cerberus0351 said in Advice Pimax Crystal Light:

I make that recommendation as someone who has the Pimax Crystal Super, Pimax Dream Air and Bigscreen Beyond 2 on pre-order at the moment.

@TCknight said in poor quality of terrain in vr. Cockpit is ok.:

Hello, I am a veteran of Falcon 4 and VR. I switched to DCS a few years ago, but with the latest changes I reinstalled the king. I use Steam VR, and when I enter 3D the cockpit is perfect, while the ground is poorly seen and with low resolution. It seems like it is moved. How can I increase the definition? I have a 4080 and I have no problems with fluidity, but with visual quality.

I also found OpenXR to work better than SteamVR for 2D world…menus, etc.; I have an HP Reverb G2.

@Trigger said in AGM-158 AI Deployment (Or other cruise weapons):

Hello Community

Question today. How ,if possible, have you guys gotten your wingman AI to employ long range weapons like the JASSAM or other cruise missiles? I did a search on the forum on the issue and saw DJ’s post of moving the IP before they would engage. The result of that is upon hitting the IP much further away they are requesting permission to engage, then they proceed to fly directly at the objective often getting to within 40 Miles of the target without firing. Now the weapons they are carrying are the same as me with the AGM-158 and I’m engaging at least 90 Miles away easily and hitting the targets. What can I do to get them to fire? What have you guys done?

Thank you

Did you give them “Weapons Free AG”, so W (wingman menu) > 5 (weapons free AG command) on menu?

As an aside, you do the same, but Weapons “Free AA” to engage airborne bad guys (W>4 on menu).

@oakdesign said in HSI CRS and HDG Bug not advancing w/5deg Setting:

Thanks for the insight.

BTW the keyfiles and their operations have not changed regardless if you use Launcher, the Launcher in terms of keyfile just takes the task of writing them, the content of the keyfile and how the callbacks are in there is still the same

Well, maybe it’s imaginary, but now I feel “like a hog lookin’ at a wristwatch”…i.e., clueless.

@Big_one and @airtex2019

It’s working…I was not pressing the button fast enough to kick in the rapid advance. Thanks for your help.
