This is a gently used F/A-18 Hornet sensor panel made by OnYourTwelve. After I purchased it, installation was plug & play and DCS recognized it right away. Mapping the functions manually was easy. Only selling because I recently bought the complete Tekcreations F/A-18 right side panel which includes this panel. Includes: - Instrument panel with black enclosure box - 66" standard USB cord - Two mounting brackets (for desk mount/upright option). Can also be mounted flat (like it is in the jet) as well This unit functions as a USB game controller -- plug it in, bind the buttons and switches to the appropriate commands in DCS and that's it. Select knobs both rotate 360 degrees and have detents at correct positions. The panel is backlit in green, and brightness can be adjusted in-game. Controls include: - FLIR toggle switch - 3 position mini toggle switch - LTD/R toggle switch - 2 position fat-bat toggle switch - LST/NFLR toggle switch - 2 position mini toggle switch - RADAR selection knob - 4 position selector - INS selection knob - 8 position selector Dimensions of the UFC are: 150 x 90 x 35mm. The USB cable is about 66" long and feeds out the right side of the case; there are holes on the left side and back of the enclosure case that the USB cable can be rerouted through instead. 4 keyholes spaced in a 75 x 60mm rectangle can be found on the back of the case for mounting. Front mount brackets are included as an option. These attach to the sides of the case and allow you to attach the case to a desktop between 3/4 and 1 5/8 inches thick. This panel adds a nice level of immersion. I only fly in VR and the simplicity of the panel makes it easy to locate/manipulate the switches and knobs by feel. Thanks for looking.

Oh nice. A stealth fuel tank.

@Flappie So... I just spent four hours trying to figure out the cause of DCS silently crashing to desktop during a mission I'm building, and it turns out that it's this exact same issue from nearly a year ago (i.e. too many EPLRS setCommand calls in too short a space of time). Very frustrating waste of an evening. Can you check the bug database and see if the issue is still there, please? 11 months to address a 100% reproducible Class A crash bug (albeit something of an edge-case) is a little disappointing.

Even at 1.2nm can be dicey. It's kind of weird because 1.2nm (IIRC) is within the prescribed procedure yet if you follow prescribed procedure of max 30 AoB in the groove turn while on-speed in DCS you will overshoot the LA every single time (WoD 27kts down the angle). I always need a more aggressive 35-40 AoB during the first 90 then I can settle into 30 in the last half of the groove to avoid a "wings" grade.

I’m the friend. I’ve been trying to pinpoint exactly what causes it for a while now. With me it seems to happen right as I pull for a shot, fire, ease the pull a bit, and pull again within about 2-3 seconds. Only happens to me in the Hornet so I figured it couldn’t be my stick.

What you describe is correct for munitions like the GB6. However, I don't recall seeing a similar cue on the HSD for other GPS guided ordnance like JDAMs (or their equivalent). If those cues were once present, they are not working in the current patch.

Hello All, I want to try to get a certain shot, but I am having trouble figuring out how to achieve the shot. I want to follow a bomb from when it leave my plane's pylon to when it impacts its target, but I want to follow it from a pinned position. So like tracking the bomb from a pinned F11 camera on the ground that is pinned next to the target so I can watch the impact as if I was standing next to the target. Does anyone know how I may be able to achieve this shot?

TRK File: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wiereouzhbpv1zopezej5/mobettametas_Dogfight_Arena_-_Caucuses_-_v2.65.1-20250512-164655.trk?rlkey=jieosu6sgauy4fuw3poqhn9d6&st=ucdeqqtz&dl=0 Issue: @ approximately 11:43 in the trk file I'm pulling a bandit in and the plane pitches over randomly and flys straight into the water. I'm looking at the stick and I can see that my inputs are pulling back on the stick but aircraft is non-responsive. I looked at the horizontal stabs and did not see movement. I opened Tacview (Attached - Time +01:03:23) and watched with control inputs showing and it shows that my inputs are inverted, that I'm pushing forward on the stick, however its clear in the trk file I'm pulling back. Earlier in the trk file I had an uncommanded roll, at the time I thought I departed, but it was faster that it should have been for a departure. I do not know the time stamp on it. I thought maybe it was my stick, however a friend that flies the 18 more than I do says he has had the same issue occasionally. He says sometimes it will happen 3 or 4 times in a night, then it won't happen to him for two weeks. Tacview-20250512-164727-DCS-Client-mobettametas_Dogfight_Arena_-_Caucuses_-_v2.65.1.zip.acmi

Nvidia’s GeForce Experience ...yeah, no. That's one of the things to erase/debloat before installing new drivers from Nvidia (which always comes massively bloated) by using NVCleanstall (link here). If you never done this, there's a tutorial here (there may be others around) to see how it works.

I think Nvidia has been doing that for a while now. https://www.theverge.com/2012/12/6/3735904/nvidia-geforce-experience-a-tool-to-automatically-optimize-pc-game

Yep, understand that. The issue is, DCS doesn't seem to be reading the updated entry.lua file for some reason. For example, I went into the encyclopedia and checked to see which CH vehicles were loaded. Its very few: null

There’s hope, I thought I’d never get it sorted when I first tried it too. I wouldn’t say the Mossie’s easy to either land or take off. Not straight away anyhow. Like a lot of things, easy when you know how. Saying that, I still rush in and smash em up regularly enough. Keeps the chippies busy . I’d say don’t hang about with the throttles. I’ve usually got my RPMs to 3,000 within a couple of seconds, maybe three? I usually trim the nose down around 1 1/2 notches. I sometimes have to flick the brake with rudder to straighten the nose, once the speed finally starts to build I might be twitching my pedals some. Almost before I’m airborne I get the gear in. Probably best not to try that one but get em in as early as possible. I use a button to unlock em before I throttle up and a switch to bring em up or down. Try not to climb or turn too early, stay straight and level and let the speed build first and trim out. Practice, practice, and practice, you’ll suss it. It’s a great module, worth all the wreckages. Don’t forget to pack your sandwiches and bring a flask, enjoy.

Ok so after some research, I foung this reddit post, and more specifically from u/_Quaggles that explain the following: "For everything inside the cockpit the track file is just pressing the buttons you pressed when flying so it will press missile release but your aircraft had no power so nothing will happen." So, I hopped back into my track and sure enough, the master arm, pylons, weapn delivery modes, and weapon selectors were all not switched to the correct state as the track should have done. hopped into F1 cockpit view and did it manually and sure enough the weapons deployed.

Spino made a new tank to represent the LDTP (Low Drag Tank and Pylon) that the Raptor will be using. I modified a copy of the pod textures and here is the result:

AFAIK, all 4K OLED panels in the market are G-Sync compatible, and can confirm that both LG OLED42C4 and Sony XR-42A90K are. You're good there. I suspect you'll feel the Sony A90K has slightly better default calibration of color/brightness (it's usually so from Sony) but, still, nothing that you can't adjust in few minutes in the LG C4, if desired. (NOTE: I'd suggest looking at recommended calibration settings in RTINGS, left in their reviews of each model) Personal opinion only but, I consider the LG C4 the better purchase, not only because it's a newer product (2024 model, whereas the A90K is 2022) but it's a more mature product on a proven panel, one that is also widely available, is very popular (also among PC users) and well supported. That said, there's one caveat which may, or not, be a deal breaker for you (depends on personal preference) - the screen finish. The Sony A90K has a "semi-glossy" finish (slightly matt anti-reflective coating) that handles reflections better, though that can give everything a bit of a tint. Whereas the LG C4 is a "glossy" finish (almost like glass mirror) and, although it still reduces the intensity of direct reflections a little, the glare from lamps or windows opposite to the screen can be distracting. Same applies to the previous C2 and C3, and also the newly released C5. For you to have a better idea of what I mean, here's a reflection test between the two. Sony A90K on the left, LG C4 on the right: Either way, they're both amazing TVs that are also fantastic gaming PC monitors, I'm sure you'll be very happy whichever case. PS: the new LG C5, which replaces the C4, is out now. Differences are negligible (pretty much the very same thing), so if you are aiming for the C4 and see the new C5 with intrigue/confusion, then just get whichever of the two that is less expensive and call it a day.

I live hear NAS Whidbey, and would love to see this. It would never happen though. We'd need the Cascades as they fly low lever VR's through there etc. More plausible would be an Alaska/Bearing Straights map. That would also give us Red Flag Alaska. That I can actually see happening at some point.

It was a key bind set to a modifier. Not sure how that happened but it was the issue. Thanks for the info my friend, greatly appreciated.

Even Gazelle, maximum weight SA 342M (with 4x HOT and 99 percent fuel) and no wind weather --- starting on slot 26 leads crashing into the terminal building. Slot 25 has a safety takeoff route once south - east - turn to north, but Slot 26 wants to go straight to the north. sa342m_aiTO_templhof_cwger_20250513.miz

Read that on an ipad and crept straight back to boot up the desktop . 2am and I should know better but had to have a proper look. hmmm, night ops, nice

Well, I dunno... but holding the stick back until I was at about 60-70 knots sure seemed to help. I will look for the gear handle lock. Thanks. Maybe there's hope for me and the Mossie yet.

I would love this (as another Pacific Northwesterner) This would be an awesome spot to fly the upcoming A-6E out of Whidbey and F-15C out of Portland and historically McChord. This would also be great for the AH-64D and Chinook from JBLM, maybe a future UH-60. A C-17 would be cool, but an official Growler or Prowler module is probably half a century out . The map wouldn't have to be too big either, with the height of both Washington and Oregon being about half the width of the Sinai map! Too bad there would be no reason to extend it to Mountain Home for some Strike Eagle action...

Hi Silverdevil The mission will eventually load most of the the time, but can take up to 10 minutes more or less. It is highly variable and can be reasonably quick one time then exceedingly slow the next time. The DCS folder is excluded from my AV software. The DCS folder in Saved Games is not excluded. I've added this to the list of exclusions, but loading times seem unaffected by the change. I have repaired (fast and slow) multiple times. I've deleted and reinstalled the entire Syria map.
