    NAV Landing mode switches from glide slope to horizontal if below glide slope

    in Bugs and Problems

    Posted · Edited by tflash
    my bad

    [sOLVED] edit: I misunderstood the TILS procedure, when I accurately follow the flight director and needles it worked very well! ---- I'm trying out the TILS to land in Nellis AFB. Whether I adjust the QFE or not, whether I leave TILS to A or select the right channel (4), nothing happens, it doesn't seem to switch to glideslope mode and so the horizontal bar is WAY of to the top, exactly as in the picture ion the first post.

     

    Am I doing something wrong or is this behaviour still there? Impossible to land correctly in IFR conditions with this config. I just land visually.

    AIM-7 LOFT mode issue

    in DCS: F/A-18C

    Posted

    I really enjoyed the AIM-7 on the Hornet, which was excellent also in dogfights. Now, since the "update" that added the LOFT mode, it has become completely useless?

     

    Even when I shoot it at 5 miles it goes into a totally ridiculous LOFT trajectory that makes it completely miss the inbound target.

     

    I guess I'm doing something wrong here. Is there a way to disable this LOFT mode frenzy?

    Thumbs UP or Down on Newbie Buy?

    Both the Hawk and the L-39 are fine, the L-39 definitely being the more finished product, that also allows dual cockpit use. The Hawk has a western cockpit.

     

    But my main question would be whether you actually need to fly first a trainer before engaging in the A-10C or Hornet. Both these aircraft have way more advanced avionics than those trainers and they fly amazingly easy! I would say the A-10C is the perfect "trainer" in DCS. You can really train TACAN and ILS navigation. That's the advantage of an digital simulation: no need for a dedicated trainer aircraft imho.

     

    I fly both the Hawk and the L-39 because I like those aircraft, not as a trainer for something else.

    skidding on runway

    Yes I saw your post on the Bf-109. I guess indeed the new friction model is at play here. While I can take-off now again in the Dora (I was just doing it wrongly not having flown it for a while), the wheel on ground behaviour I agree with you, it seems not normal to me, it is as if the runway is rather wet or oily.

    Strange, I had a mission starting on Senaki airfield that I flew many many times without problems. I didn't fly the Dora for a while, but now I simply am no more able to take off. The plane skids over the runway, and the tailweel doesn't align, it just stays in a cambered position and skids in all directions, as if the runway was very wet or had a thin layer of ice. Anyway take off is no longer possible at all. Did something change or is my muscle memory simply gone over time?

     

    -------------------

     

    Damn I simply forgot to pull the stick backwards - so it was not my muscle memory, but my brain memory that was at fault :)

    Screenshots of the updated cockpit?

    Thanks!

     

    Is it worth buying?

     

    I also like it very much. The external model is really nice, the cockpit is very clear and a nice place to be in. The aircraft flies smooth yet is quite fast.

     

    Many systems like the hydraulics are simulated. There are some unfinished things indeed and there were some annoying bugs, but that shouldn't stop you to have real fun with it. Some people fly aerobatics with it. Unfortunately, it doesn't support dual cockpit flight for student/trainer. But that was not a feature I was going to use anyway.
