Is that not just DCS in VR? I don't think they made anything other than attaching a joystick to a desk. Wizard

His OS is Win7 so the Win10 references probably aren't relevant. Wizard

When this Window or whatever it is, is active, open Task Manager and see if there are any Task or Apps that give any clue as to what it is. Wizard

What kind of peripherals do you intend to use with these games? Hotas and rudder pedals or simple twist handle joystick? Do you use Track-IR? What OS do you plan to install and run it under? Wizard

Not sure if you are having the same issue I had but... in Options, do you have radar set to Easy? By the way, what is NF5? Wizard -
Wrong Avionics After Adding Planes
Wizard43 replied to Wizard43's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Thank you both for the replies. The issue was indeed that radar difficulty was set to Easy. I switched to Normal and the correct screens are back in my cockpit. I'm so happy that worked. I was hoping to avoid changing around avionics files. Thanks Wizard -
Wrong Avionics After Adding Planes
Wizard43 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Hello. I installed SF2 by buying the Complete Collection so I guess that is the same as a fully merged install? I created a mod version of that install and added a small number of planes I downloaded here. They are some training aircraft like the T-33, T-6, T-6II and a Hawk. I also added some speech mods to make wingmen, ATC and AWACs sound different. I noticed now that some newer aircraft from the modded game have older avionics. The cockpits in the modded game look like they have a radar and RWR from maybe an early F-4 or F-8? Even a newer F-4 that should have a more elaborate radar has this style radar and RWR showing in the modded game. Do you think this is a case that one of the addon aircraft I put in my modded game have overwritten some files related to the correct avionics. Thanks, Wizard -

Yes TIR5 on Win10 here also. I would probably give up all flight sims forever if I couldn't use TIR. Wizard -

I wish I understood what you folks are talking about. Is there anything a non-modder like myself can do to get the skins to show up in game? Thanks, Wizard -

Yes, the wing tanks are fine. I just realized I need to add them on the load out page. But I think have copied the skin files to the correct location. I can choose Mako Shark or Red Knights in the mission setup screen but they still appear in the game as the snowbirds skin. Thanks, Wizard -

Thanks for your work on these skins. I'm excited to fly the new planes. I've never installed just new skins and I'm having trouble getting them to work. I already had the original CT-133 but I downloaded and installed it in my mod folder to be safe. Then I copied/pasted the contents of the V2.0 zip file into Objects\Aircraft\CT-133 over writing existing files. Did I do that right? When I try to fly a mission and change my airplane, I see Mako Shark and two Red Knights as options but when I choose them, in the game I see, I think the Snowbirds skin without wingtip tanks. Sorry if this has been asked before. I tried searching for information on just installing skins but couldn't find anything to help me out. Thanks, Wizard -
Glad you posted. Gave me a chuckle.
