why does the f-18 not allow one to use weapons if the wheel door is broken?
Foka replied to Ramstein's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
You already have a game mode. Just use it, if you don't want it to be too hardcore. -

There are at least two ways to control your speed on take off - with a throttle, or with climbe rate. Just don't exceed 250 kts until gear handle stops flashing. -

Imagine what it would be if pilots would learn not to overspeed landing gear on takeoff. -
Instal free version of TacVIew https://www.tacview.net/download/latest/en/ It will record telemetry of all objects in the mission, then you can analize flight and all its telemetry.

correct as-is Cannot enter coordinates (lat/long) for AGM-154A in PP mode
Foka replied to jetsimace's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
You can do it with DCS-DTC mod. It's the only way until ED will finish working on DCS' DTC. -
It's working. In controls settings it's called Dispense Button
-
In BARO setting yes, but in RDR setting will show radar altitude if radar altimeter is able to measure it. Of course it's hard to answer to question ask so not clearly like above.
-
Probably never, since this is Super Hornet based, not Hornet.
-
Just set the wind, run the mission, jump into LSO station and check wind on PLAT cam. Correct, check, repeat until you're happy with settings - 25-30 kts WOD and no crosswind.

cannot reproduce Auto sequence and autopilot don't work consistently
Foka replied to dporter22's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
You can not activate AUTO on HSI when A/P is active. You need to disengage A/P, select AUTO, engage A/P. -
Sorry, I don't understand the question, but @oldcrustyexplainedt that well.
-
Because you changed TOO program for one station, not four. There is no something liker "went back to TOO2", as you said in the video. Each station works independently. You changed TOO program for one station, not for four stations. For single drops you changed TOO program for each station befor drop. For QTY drop you didn't. You changed TOO program for only one station. You should drop first 4 bombs, then press TOO1 -> STEP -> TOO1 -> STEP -> TOO1 -> STEP -> TOO1 and ten pickle next 4 bombs with QTY selected.
-
But you can not expect that every bomb will be drop on this same program (like STA2 on PP1, STA3 on PP1 and so on). Usualy it will be STA2 on PP2, STA3 on PP6 and STA7 on PP4. So changing program on one station CAN NOT affect other stations.

cannot reproduce and missing track file HMCS and AIM9x
Foka replied to Phil C6's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
AFAIK it works ok. If you don't have target radar locked, 9X's warhead will follow your HMD line od sight. If missile finds target you need to press AND HOLD Uncage button, so 9X will stay on target. -
You select stations you want to drop, pickle, then change program on all stations, then pickle. Remeber that droping so many bombs from plane like Hornet is gameism. No one does it IRL. PP programs should be loaded with data cartridge. and TOO targets, as name suggest, is not bombing multiple targets, but usually single target.
-
What you shgould do after first drop: Select PP2, change STA, select PP2, Pickle. PP and TOO targets are assigned to each station, so you chave to change PP/TOO target for each station you want to drop. I'm, not a real Hornet pilot, but I'd say it's correct as is.

Tell him to try both planes in free trial period (2 weeks each module) IMO both these planes are similar in clomplexity (at this stage, I'd say Viper is most complex) I started DCS with A-10C (to be exact with F-15C - it took me two weeks to decide to buy A-10C, so he can try some FC3 plane also in free trial period) and I wasn't overhelmed (but I'm not new to aircraft sims - I know how to fly, I had to learn systems and tactics, not principals of aviation). IMO buing FC3 aircrafts is WOFTAM. Since we have free trialas every one can try any plane he wants and then decide to buy it. FC3 aircrafts is like licking icecream thru window. Between these two aircrafts I'd choose Hornet. I love The Hog and I started my DCS journey with it, but in a long term it's boring - slow, extremly easy to fly, very limited in capabilities. Hornet + Supercarrier is the way.

Edit bomb laser code in flight, f18 feature or gameism?
Foka replied to Fulcrumkiller31's topic in Wish List
Even more. So we could edit code for each bomb separatly, AFAIR in Viper you edit code for all bombs. -
AFAIK Hornet C didn't have option of buddy tanking, only Super Hornet.
-
And to be clear - you don't have to add a new waypoint to the sequence (flight plan). If it's an ad hoc target it's even not recommended. Unbox SEQ1 in bottom right corner and you can switch between any of 59 waypoints, not only 10 in sequence. Add WPT 11 and don't add it to the seq.
-
It's hard to say what you're doing. Youtube has no limits on vide, just post the link to YT. Looks like you entered 7 digits coords, and you have precise coords boxed - it needs 10 digits coords.
-
No! No! No! These ones are ground TACANs saved in plane's memory to correct INS drift. Do not mess with these if you're not very sure what you're doing!
