Scotflieger

I was probably wrong with my description. It is not actually roll stability but the greater tendency to roll due to being out of trim. I now need to operate the roll trim significantly to keep the wings level. It is a pain when you are doing other cockpit house keeping.

I am finding the F/A-18C with 2.7 very unstable in roll. Even with a balanced weapon load the aircraft keeps rolling from level wings. Input roll trim is not as effective as previously.

Same problem with Litening Pod and laser timing out reported by me here. At normal release ranges (10-6NM) the laser timer is set too small (<20s) for missile flight time. However, when closer to target (3-2NM) the timer is much longer (over 100s) when to start lasing late.

I have been testing this issue again. The laser countdown timer at 6.4NM is just 12s ... ... but when you get closer before lasing it jumps to a more realistic 108s at 0.9NM. This is definitely a bug introduced with Beta 2.7.

Beta 2.7 has changed on the F/A-18C using Litening Pod the laser countdown timer for the AGM-65E which is timing out despite the missile being within range. The result is that missiles are going astray and the target missed. I can not see any related comments in the changelog.

Further to my post above, it turns out that the HDD was failing and has now been removed from my system.

I have been having great difficulty flying DCS especially in Multiplayer mode. My system would repeatedly freeze for 5-15s with no control and leading to multiple crashes when the system unfroze with the aircraft in dangerous attitudes. It appeared to happen when other users were on line, when I was approaching carriers or changing avionics modes. I searched high and low on the forum and Google for possible solutions. I reduced my settings to very low and removed my extra monitors. It was a suggestion about using SSDs instead of HDDs that lead me indirectly to an answer. I had been using the Task Manager but it was the Resource Manager that point me to the problem. My DCS, MSFS2020 and XP11 were installed on a fast HDD. I had no issues with the other flight simulators, only DCS. When DCS was freezing the HDD was going to 100%. It appears that a process linked to MSFS2020 doing some licence/content verification was the cause. I uninstalled DCS and did a clean download/install to my SSD C drive and the problem has disappeared. I am even able to use DCS in high (but not extreme) settings.

@Ithronwisethank you. I will check.

The Thrustmaster T.A.R.G.E.T. software for the Warthog Throttle/Stick stops DCS starting correctly. If the TARGET Profile is started before DCS, DCS stalls at the initial 100% loading page and fails to reach the start up menu page (eg. Instant Action, Create Fast Mission, etc). You can start the TARGET Profile once the start up page is reached but not before. I have confirmed that there are no permanent outputs (button/key presses) from the profile when initially started.

Many thanks for the advice and insight. It was my assignment of Radar Elevation to the Boat rocker switch on my TM Warthog Throttle that was the cause of the problem. I must have knocked it and it was commanding a continuous Zoom In to the FLIR. Problem SOLVED. I now have a much better means of controlling FLIR when flying over a target area.

I don’t have the radar elevation linked to an axis but I will double check.

What’s best for this. Just a video or is there a log?

A number of times when using the F/A-18C Litening Pod I have found that the Zoom view function becomes stuck on maximum (Z9). Click the Zoom - OBS button briefly changes the display to Z8 before flipping back to Z9. Slew control of the cursor also become jittery. Is this a known fault?

Received my order today and fitted inside 15mins. Excellent control of slew.

That worked thank you. Pity DCS reboots with each delete.

Since buying FC3 and selecting the ‘included’ aircraft AC10, Mig29, etc, I keep getting multiple messages that these aircraft are unlicensed and will be disabled. How do I unlink/delete these aircraft to remove these error messages?

Hi I made a typo when creating my forum user name. Can I get it corrected to Scotflieger? I have searched high and low for a Administrator contact but failed. Alternatively, can my current user ID be deleted so I can create a new one for my email address.

Resolved.

Thank you for the response. I am not sure that helps. Under Instant Action there is just cold and start. You Fly it and end up with a cold/dark cockpit and nothing more. No direction, switches and stick work but the throttle frozen. What are you supposed to do and where is there any information?

Duplicate post

When running the cold & dark quick mission the throttle is frozen and can not be moved. The same profile for my Saitek Throttle Quadrant works fine with all other missions. Is there a throttle lock or is this a know fault?
