    ALR-67 is the black rectangle, located as described above.

     

    Power button is on the far right, and the BIT for it is the button on the far left.

    IIRC a cold start on land will have the switch in field, which it shouldn't be from reading that too. Can someone confirm? Good catch.

     

    Edited: You're right. No airplane power, per NATOPS.

    In flight

    Gear and Flaps EXTENDED

    Hook bypass set to FIELD

    Lowering the hook does not set it to CARRIER.

     

    That is correct, I just fixed this internally. About behaviour inflight with hook down - I can't confirm without a track.

     

    Track added.

     

    I can't confirm this. How do you use Hook Bypass switch? With keyboard or somehow else? A track would be helpful.

     

    I don't. I leave it alone. I extend flaps, gear, then the hook. NATOPS above says it should automatically switch the Hook Bypass switch to CARRIER once the hook is lowered.

    Hook Bypass

    Image of the NATOPS manual.

     

    When bypass is set to Carrier and the hook is up, the indexer flashes.

     

    However, when the bypass is set to Field and the hook is lowered, it does not change the Hook Bypass switch to Carrier, as described above.

    Switch inconsistency in config

    in Wish List

    Posted

    I'm finding an inconsistency with the config in regards to config setting & usage.

     

    First, I'm using a TM Warthog HOTAS. All config thus far is just DCS settings.

     

    FLAPS

    • Flap Switch - AUTO/HALF
    • Flap Switch - FULL/HALF

    I've set these, and it works nicely.

     

    PROBE

    • Probe Control Switch - EXTEND/RETRACT

    Set to switch on HOTAS Throttle. This worked in both switch positions (up extends, down retracts).

     

    However...

     

    LAUNCH BAR

    • Launch Bar Control Switch - EXTEND/RETRACT

    Set to switch on HOTAS Throttle. This does NOT work for both switch positions. Extend/retract requires a switch cycle.

     

    ARRESTING HOOK

    Set to switch on HOTAS Throttle. This has no EXTEND/RETRACT option. Only cycle, down and up.

     

    LANDING GEAR

    Set to switch on HOTAS Throttle. No EXTEND/RETRACT option either. Only UP/DOWN (which is a switch cycle), down & up.

     

     

    So, if the Launch Bar is supposed to work as the Probe switch (EXTEND/RETRACT), it doesn't. The latter two don't have the EXTEND/RETRACT option available, and the Launch Bar isn't an EXTEND/RETRACT, but a cycle.

    Separate EXTEND & RETRACT options (like the landing gear above it) for the Launch Bar? At the moment, it's just a button/switch cycle option.

     

    I'm assuming it's not a bug, or perhaps an option that was overlooked/planned for soon?
