Air to Air Refueling - Transfer comeplete with 50% fuel?
Northstar98 replied to saltyleon's topic in DCS: F-4E Phantom
You need to make sure the fuel door is cycled in and out before the aircraft is able to receive fuel (you should note that if the ready light isn't illuminated, the aircraft can't receive fuel). https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/systems/engines_and_fuel_systems/fuel_system.html#air-refuel-switch -
I read and understood what you said, so you don't have to patronize me. If this interaction is upsetting you then you don't have to respond. You can ignore this completely and go about your day doing other things. I have a issue that I would like to learn more about it all. So my question to all of this is WHY. WHY can you only get FULL fuel if you are under 4,000lbs, WHY? What if a pilot IRL takes a tank thinking he or she will need it but learns while flying that it isn't needed/required? What if he/she can't jettison the tank (civilian population or malfunction)? What if they don't (or aren't able to) burn ALL of the fuel? If a pilot lands in real life with 4,100lbs (h3ll, let's call it 4,001lbs even) and has to rearm and refuel quickly to get back on mission (they don't have time to ground jettison the center tank and add a new one), in real life again, does the crew tell them "f@ck you, you didn't land with under 4,000lbs so we aren't going to fill that center tank completely or at all, you get your ass back up there" even though the next flight might require 8,500lbs of fuel (make up number, whatever). Is there a limitation with the tanks mechanically so to speak. Is this an actual real life restriction/constraint/limitation with the external fuel tanks (seems funny to me if it is)? I just want to know WHY this is happening. Was designed that way in the game intentionally or on accident? Is it was a bug? Is that how they do it IRL (maybe they do tell the pilot f@ck you, who knows)? I just want to know WHY. By the way it does work when you are under 4,000lbs and you do get topped off.... but WHY?

track ir is slaving to the tdc in the a10 c when using HMCS
Yurgon replied to Raven434th's topic in Bugs and Problems
That sounds like it's working as intended. Like I said, if there is axis jitter that leads to this behavior, you can tune the slew control axes and add a center deadzone. The HDC itself is free to be on any spot on the ground, but if you slew the HDC, it'll snap to inside the HMCS' field of view (if it's outside the FOV when the slew is commanded). I don't quite understand what you mean by exaggerated. Can you record a short track that shows the issue? -

I hope so too. I was reading the changelog just 5 minutes ago. -
Air to Air Refueling - Transfer comeplete with 50% fuel?
Ivandrov replied to saltyleon's topic in DCS: F-4E Phantom
Just give it a go again but making sure to cycle the fuel door if he says transfer complete and calling back in. -
I have no other asset mods than the Currenthill releases. I just would like to understand whether there is a conflict between those and the DCS Currenthill release.

Still cannot get rid of blur looking to the sides, Pimax Super
Marshallman replied to Marshallman's topic in Pimax
Just about to try this and in comes a DCS update ....... cant make this sh** up -
Added: Currenthill Asset Pack - finally! Thank you!
-
always best to remove unofficial mods for patches.

Hi, Does anyone know when/if VOIP is going to be further developed? Did ED released a roadmap for it? I've checked and many of the most important servers are not using it because is not as feature rich as SRS. Thanks
-
As Currenthill Asset Pack is now integrated - at least partially - into DCS, do I need to deactivate the Currenthill Asset Pack modules which I added seperately before?

saltyleon replied to saltyleon's topic in DCS: F-4E Phantom
In all my attempts to refuel I had to reconnect once, yes. Might this be the issue then? -

Is there any problem with having both installed? Thanks again, CH. -
Подскажите пожалуйста почему не удаётся прописать название ливреи на русском, вот ранее получалось и я, что то видимо подзабыл - прописываю ру. название в дискрипторе, но всё равно, скрины прилагаю, спасибо за понимание. При чём не читает даже на английском.

German Bundeswehr likes to show it off; the maneuverability of this hunk is crazy. At the previous German Armed Forces day, I got a nice look into the cockpit and got to chat a bit with a pilot. Looks very well organized and surely would be a joy to fly in DCS. Plus a buddy transitioned from EC-135 to NH-90 and also transitioned from calling it the "plastic bomber" to talking about in with high regard. The part about public documentation though... not sure we'll see an accurate NH-90 in DCS any time soon.

track ir is slaving to the tdc in the a10 c when using HMCS
Raven434th replied to Raven434th's topic in Bugs and Problems
sorry for taking so long...wild fires here in my place of residence. ok...my mistake in terminology, I mean the HDC...it will follow the track IR head movement if it detects any input from the slew axis that is mapped. meaning I can then turn my head to slew...and its wildly exaggerated. Seems to me that should not happen...track ir should have no affect. howerever if it does track the pilots line of sight then I guess that makes sense too...similar to the apache IHADS monocle. -
Patch is live now

Anyone know how we can repaint the pilot and helmet? Thanks!

Air to Air Refueling - Transfer comeplete with 50% fuel?
Ivandrov replied to saltyleon's topic in DCS: F-4E Phantom
Did you disconnect right before he calls transfer complete? I recall a bug where attempting to reconnect before cycling the fuel door causes the tanker to say transfer complete. -
Mmmm, updater says installed version 2.9.18.12899 is up to date, but that is previous version number ?
