How to set the FM band radio for ground JTAC operations?

Enjoying the campaign so far, but I'm stuck on this mission (4). It doesn't seem to be 'kicking in', for lack of a better term. Mission loads, I do autostart, then nothing happens. The follow me car doesn't move, there's none of the usual voice over like in the other missions, etc. No mods, updated to 2.9.19.13478 the other day. Thanks!

Haha, the opposite of the thread I posted where I said the shaking occurs too early. Try running the Moza profile as direct input, not telemetry, and not integrated. There is no telemetry coming downstream like other modules.

Here's a new behavior... Suddenly get a gear warning in flight... Winwing PTO panel red lollipop flashing and gear alarm sounding, still in the retracted position. I look in the cockpit and the gear handle is in the 90-degree rotated Emergency Extend position. And gear is indeed extended. I checked control bindings. I have absolutely nothing... no keystrokes, nothing... bound to any of the Gear Emergency Extend or Retract commands. The only way to possibly command this would be to point the mouse cursor at the gear handle and roll the mouse wheel, which I did NOT do. What else could possibly cause this behavior?

Can anyone tell me where I find the data base names for the CH units added in the lates patch. @Deadlyfishes I have looked at your latest documentation and for me it shows the last update was 20th Feb 2025, im not seeing anything newer. Cheers Hotdognz

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. I have now disabled HotPlug in Settings and I haven't had any issues so far. Tomorrow i will fly a bit more and let you know. By the way I do not use Trackir only TrackHat that is not an issue. I recommend TrackHat for those actively using a head tracking system. Again many thanks for the help. Hope this has solved the issue.

Ah, you were only speaking about trim moving the control surface when the airplane is at zero airspeed. Thank you for the clarification!!! I misunderstood your previous post to mean that we should not expect the stick to move its “zero force” position when trimming in flight. It’s a great relief to me that its not the case. I still don’t own a FFB stick, but am really looking forward to experiencing the Corsair when I finally buy one (holding out hope for the Winwing FFB option when it releases).

Yeah... and while they are at it, how about also doing something about the visibility of the radio channel selections. Can you tell me what radio channel is selected here? I certainly can't. I think there must have been a competition in WW2 to design the ergonomically worst cockpit layout possible. The British obviously won with the Mosquito by placing the fuel tank selectors behind the pilot's seat, but I reckon the Corsair is a close second. (The Germans would have been dead last with the FW190-D9)

Sorry for taking so long to reply to this. Improvements to this area have already been requested for a while.

You reduce power, which in turn will slow you down, less lift, nose goes down, aircraft starts to descend. If you increase power, the aircraft will start to climb. Or you use the elevators to pitch down and reduce the power a bit so you don't pitch up again.

Hi, Please provide a track file, dcs.log.

But if I trim for the cat to fly level whilst at the yellow circle, how the hell it will descend to land if all is fixed in place?

I understand how trim works and the effects of the pressures around aircraft control surfaces. For the F4U, I simply stated and correcting how the trim tabs operate in relation to the control surfaces. With no lift, adjusting trim will not mechanically cause the control surfaces/flight stick to adjust also. This aircraft just isn't designed that way. As pointed out by @Vladinsky, in the game they are moving. I replied that it's a bug by the programmers, and it'll be rectified. Example of the elevator trim tab linkage below. The screw and sprocket is the trim control. The screw itself is fed inside through the torque tube to the bell-crank with no contact except for some ball bearing ring at the sprocket plate. A chain/cable system is attached to the sprocket threaded to the trim control knob. This keeps the elevator neutral regardless of the trim setting. Now if there is pressure on the control surfaces while the trim is adjusted, yes the control surfaces will deflect along with the flight stick. If this isn't happening in-game, we'll fix it.

Here is an archived version.

Thank you

Last I heard it's not really like the German armed forces were overly happy with it either. Showing off might just be smiling for the pain.

In general, when someone says trim the plane, it means that you have to trim it in such a way, that there are no forces on the stick, basically the aircraft remains in a fixed attitude at a specified speed. When someone says trim on speed, it means you have to trim it in such a way, that your aircraft maintains the perfect AoA for landing, indicated by the yellow circle. And as it is the AoA for landing, you should be in a landing configuration. But if you do it in level flight or on the standard 3 degree glide is up to you. You just have to trim it in such a way that the aircraft maintains the on speed AoA. The trim is mostly the same, regardless if you are in a descent, level flight or climb as long as you maintain the speed. Trim changes with speed, so once you are on speed, you shouldn't have to touch trim anymore until touchdown if trimmed perfectly. Trim is one of the very basics of aircraft. You can easily find hundreds of thousands of ressources online about what trim is. Here's an example: https://pilotinstitute.com/aircraft-trim-explained/

A handful (seven) of test launches were performed at Lechfeld. The project was killed, not least becauseof the re-arrangement of NATO towards flexible response. The only thing to come out of it was the retrofit to the Martin Baker seat for the entire fleet, starting in '69.

All exports, no matter the screen rypw you use, have the dimming issue. There are threads about it in the multiscreen forum.

I'm puzzled about this thing for CH-47F: Added. Ground detent position for the Thrust Cont Lever. And I'm not alone, obviously (the comment is from after the update): I know what it does when it's checked in Special Options (appearing as ugly GROUND_DETENT). I investigated, why my Ng "needles" settle ~63 instead of 50-55. Only when I press AND HOLD a keybind for "Ground Detent override - pressing" it goes down to normal values. So my laymen observation is, that it disables/offsets the lower range of the thrust lever, but I have no idea how it should work because the manual doesn't say anything about it (at least not when I search in text). If there is a ground detent, is it so coarse that I can't just pull the lever gently above it? Does it always jump to ~63 on Ng indicator? Also, if it is a detent, shouldn't there be more than just a single hold-n-press binding for it?

Hi thanks for the debug. If you take a look here https://www.mil-airfields.de/approach-charts/de-germany/frankfurt-rhein-main-air-base.html you could see that the frequencies in the late 60's are : 07L 110.10 "RHM" , 25L 110.70 "FFM", 25R 109.50 "DLF", and at least 07R 110.70 "FFM" too but with no Glideslope. But we can eventually use the modern frequencies 110.95 "IFSE" to have a complete working ILS. I will test your modification on both side to be sure that everything works, but with the Cold War frequencies i've found. I will soon make a proper working beacons.lua file and share it in the user files so there will be more runways usable. And make some kneeboard pages and printable one, so the pilots could use the runway they want depending on the wind direction. Hamburg is a little bit special as there are no parallel runways, and the ATC only use the "official" runway. Edit: first test runs nice, You get it to work!. I only tested runway 25R and 25L, but as the 25R is now OK, I suppose thet the 07L should be OK. I will test it this evening as in france it's 0:51 AM...

Hi, As I am trying to learn how to land the plane I keep hearing fly it on speed (yellow circle) and trim. My question is what do you mean trim? Trim for what? So that the plane flies level when on the yellow circle no matter what or for some specific descent rate or what? What I need to target with the trim? Confused with this as everyone keep throwing this word trim but never specify desired effect to be chased with it.

Update please.

Thank you all! Issue resolved
