Just place a plane near the carrier and in the plane configuration window set it to cold/hot start from deck, exactly like with the airfield.

Do you realize you can change alt warning during flight? Seting it at 1500 on start up and leaving like that is a nonsense. For ground operation on take off set it on 200-300 or higher if there is an obstacle in front of the runway. For CV operation on take off set it on 40 - if you messed up take off set up (or if cold cat, which is not modeled in DCS), if you hear alarm and VVI is not above horizon line you must instantly eject. During mission this setting doesn't matter unless you conduct low level penetration, then set it to 100-200, depends on how low you will be flying and how low you DON'T want to fly. For ground operation on landing set it on 500. For CV on landing set it on 350-400 - this is how low you want to be while entering the groove. On approach, when you are gear down (and on that altitude you deffinitly should be) the alert will go off once, not continously.

KB is displayed with position in reference to right bottom corner of the screen. If you added (even virtually) a monitor to the right or bottom of you main screen it may be displayed outside the main screen.

Radar isn't supposed to be used to guide precise munitions. It was mostly use in pre-GPS era to navigate. In MAP mode you can finde large objects like airfields or cities. SEA mode you can use to program Harpoon missiles. BTW are your target ships moving or stationary? If they're moving definitely JDAM isn't correct choice of weapons.

Looks great. All depends on price. At the moment only avaible Hornet UFC is for ~$500 and IMO it's waaay to expensive.

That's completly rediculus way to map controls. You're trying to solve problem, whichy you created yourself. Additionally you'll have another software running in the background that can crash or cause crashes. Just bind your HOTAS switches directly in DCS. You'll do it once, and you're done. Now you're not saving anything. PS Reinstalling DCS won't affect controls bindings, these are saved in Saved Games folder.

2. No, It's an obvious bug.

You could just read the Bugs sections.

I don't think DCS has so complicated terminal ballistics implemented. Just bomb the runway, if it has hole in it, AI won't taxi or take-off. If you want to disable runway on PvP server jast make a few large holes and no one would be able to take off. Just remember to destroy any long stright concrete way - taxi ways etc.

This is night, new moon. For my lights are way to bright, and I think it was dimmer Lights.trk

Is it me, or after last update at night console and flight instruments lights even on lowest settings are much brighter than they were, and are too bright, like IFEI?

Not true. You have "Hornet Ball" bind.

And sometimes when you refuel on the ground you can get over 11k lbs in internal tanks.

I fly Hornet almost a year and in my history it was never possible. You could probram TOO targets and rop ripple, but it was removed some times ago and is asked to come back since, with no definite answer from the team.

Did you desgnate WP as TGT? It's hard to guess without track file.

Did you edit weapon profila to enable auto lase? In Hornet auto lase works by default, in A-10 you have to set up in DSMS. My secound guess would be wrong SPI from another sensor than TGP.

@BIGNEWY but we are not asking for new FLIR system, just to unf... fix present one.

Most online players are not english native speakers.

Deffinitly learn proper Case operations. In addition to it learn to use MFDs. Launching with one MFD blank, and second on BIT is... unconventional, so to say.

If you want to see how digital zoom should work, watch some films with Tomcat's TGP on youtube. Heatblur got it right.

Also when using Sparrow missiles you don't have to use STT. L&S is enough and it will switch to STT automaticly after missile launch.

I think @Double Dutch is mixing concepts of TWS and STT and all other radar abbreviations. If you'd be in STT you wouldn't see on the radar other contacts. If you do (as you say you can't lock them), that would appear you're in TWS mode and you're locking in L&S. Please refer to Hornet's manual pages from 346 and learn the differences between TWS and RWS. STT and L&S. And how to move between them. After that skip Gream Rippers "tutorials" and refer to Wags' TWS tutorial: Also, in my exprientce, people saying they can't lock some targets don't understend Data Link and Attack Radar integration, they don't know all HAFU symbols and they try to lock D/L contacts not seen by radar.

It works how @goAdA discribed and it works this same for F/A-18C, F-16C and A-10C. Pilot can stop retraction or extending of SB by placing switch in neutral position.

ESC -> take control

Hm, I know some TACAN channels tend to mess up with D/L.
