You can buy small (8" I think) screens on Aliexpress.

I just noticed DTC mentioned in the newsletter – great news! I can't wait. But I also couldn't omit one important problem at the core of the idea – according to the newsletter, DTC will be on the ME level. That means that on multiplayer servers, Mission Makers have to prepare the DTC for each flight, but players joining the server won't be able to make changes? That's not the idea of DTC. It should be in the rearming window, so each player can load their own data. Also, hopefully it will include the possibility of saving and loading DTC data to a file – for future use and for sharing between flight members.

You can manually cycle through B and C by hitting Weapon Select Switch to missiles. T4buk probably pushed it once more than he should. So it's even more probable that you pushed the button once too many times and didn't notice that.

HUD shows 0 AIM-120B, under the wing it looks like AIM-120C.

No, in DCS they do nothing.

And also in DCS clouds does not block the laser. It's looong awaited and long time announced feature, still not implemented.

As @Muchocracker said - you switched to VIS mode, what you can see on your video. Also HMD alignment is not needed in the air. Just do it during startup, and don't touch it. It's not supposed to be pinpoint accurate, as I said in other thread.

SA data is not a good way to verify alignment. Data is updated every 12 seconds, if I remember correctly, so some differences are expected. Try in the air and designate ground target, and see if HMD shows that correctly. Or TGP symbol.

Maybe ask this in F-15E section?

And just to straighten up things - there is no such thing as "LST mode" in GBU-12. LST is just a laser search/track in your TGP, that allows you to find painted target. It has nothing to do with bombs or missiles.

L&S. (Launch & Steer). STT is just for Sparrows. TWS/RWS are radar modes. You can L&S in TWS and RWS.

There is no one answer "what to do to win". BVR and BFM are complicated topics with dozens of variables, some say it's an art, not knowledge. Learn what are cranking, notching, split-S etc. How the radar works, what it can do, and what can't. Use youtube, there is a lot of good tutorials for BVR from youtubers like AIR WARFARE GROUP, SL4Y3Rv, The Ops Center By Mike Solyom etc.

Dimm you AoA light, it will be easier to see outside. There is a knob for it under the UFC.

As I read people on this forum and watch YT video, there is a really huge group of pilots who doesn't check and doesn't care about landing weight. And then they are suprised that landing gear gets damaged even if they land within vertical speed limits. Respect you landing weight limits!

Arma is just a shooter with a little bit of immersion. It is no comparison to DCS in any way. And I have been and still am playing Arma since the first Operation Flashpoint.

That would be epic during recovery, when aircraft is in the groove and whole catapult crew decides to just walk to their positions. Carmageddon vibes!

1. Shooter is not guiding you during taxi. It's plane director. Shooter... well... Shoots you the catapult. 2. You can trust plane directors, they're ok (if they work).

Simple speed limit would be enough, but also a stupid idea, generating problems in emergency situations. On the other hand, DCS is still just a game. 80-90% of players play it as "a plane game", not most realistic simulator. And it's ok. Let them do whatever they want, but also allow us force some settings on server/mission side. But it's over 10 years and ED still didn't figured that out.

There is a problem with racetrack pattern. Tanker can not maintain altitude in turn. During 180 deg turn it looses 1-3k ft. Then after the turn it climbs back to designated altitude with high VS (3000 fps). And it repeats with each turn on and on and on...

Bank angle on AAR was in patch notes, but there are other issues right now.

AFAIR it doesn't work for a long time. In-game radio will show AI transmissions (they're in game), but won't show SRS transmissions. For me it's like that for a very long time.

Most of "communication" with ATC is deck crew giving the pilot a hand signals what to do.

It looks like mission problem, not Hornet. Open mission in ME and see if these plane are placed as red.
