Hi, does anyone know how to adjust the slew speed for the TGP? I want to be able to slew quickly to a target in front of me and I can't seem to find it in the manual. Thanks :)

is there? What is the switch called? (or is a that a stupid question)?.. and yes I did a two hour mission the other day and he took damage... then crashed into me as I was about to land!!!

Does anyone know how to shut your wingman up? I've been practicing landings and Nav with instruments. I picked a field from the divert page - when trying to land my wingman kept saying over and over something about wheels up (as well as flying in front of me). Does anyone know how to keep him quiet? One other thing - my ILS doesn't seem to work (it must be something I'm doing wrong) I programe the channel and switch ILS on on the nav panel (where EGI etc are) also switch the ILS on! I can hear the tone but the bars don't seem to work. Can anyone help? Thanks :)

Hmmm.. Makes sense! Thanks Viper - I'll give it a try.

Hi - Just wondered if anyone could help with a little problem... I was flying the other day (Can't remember what mission) I'm still a bit new to this! I have no problems now with using markpoints etc and slaving the TGP... But I saw some targets of opportunity on this flight and didn't know how to quickly engage them. I tried to slew the box with the HUD as SOI but it was sooooo slow.. I'd gone over the target before I could get anything done! So my question is: How can you quickly lock and engage a target of opportunity? Thanks :)

Cool - thanks Supersheep!

I'm a bit of a newbie, so please forgive me. Ever since EF2000 on DOS I've wanted to night missions in bad weather on a great sim. All the training videos and training lessons (on the sim) shows using the TGP with JDAM's (which seems to defeat the purpose) I'm practising at the moment using coords from JTAC to get an SPI for a target. Does anyone know of the best mission to try and use JDAMS in bad weather.. (I imagine you are sent coords from JTAC.... is that right? Or am I on completely the wrong track? Thanks for your help! :)

No problem - glad you like it. I had some trouble getting the N52 te to work under Win 7 - but sorted now, so I have configured that so far for snap views of the all the radios/ ILS and Tacan and also to control the AHCP which all work okay now. Trying to sort my video camera out so I can make a quick film this weekend!

Hey Ragtop/ Airdog... Loaded Win 7 and the RWR works.. awesome! Made a few adjustments and 1110 runs fine.. I tried several tests in different locations - under fire.. no problems with FPS or stutter. So will try and make a short film this coming weekend. Also thinking about adding switches for TGP, Guns etc - LED output for Missile launch warning, landing gear and AOA.. Probably won't be able to afford it until after Chrismas though :(

Hi, I just loaded Win 7 on my PC WH Hotas seems to work okay. I already updated the firmware when it was running on Vista. Does anyone know if I have to update the firmware again (I didn't think I had to but wasn't sure). Also - although I haven't got everything sorted yet i.e. Helios working. I had a quick test flight. It seemed okay most of the time but I did have a couple of times when it stuttered... Has anyone else had this with 1110?

Wow factor Awesome job - absolutley amazing!!!! :D

RWR No need! You haven't dragged me to hell and back... you have been a great help. I think you and I and everyine else on this pit building thread loves engineering and loves solving problems... you must admit, it does give you a buzz when you get something working! I'll hopefully have installed the new OS and A10 by next weekend.. I'll update then. I understand what you mean - it does cost to do this... but no rush lol :) I have both 1109 and 1110 downloaded s I'll try 10 first and if there is a major drop is FPS I'll try 0009.

Yeah - I guessed. I've got a mate of mine coming over for dinner tomorrow. He is a gliding instructor at my club. He hasn't seen the build since I cut the cockpit off the K6-E last year.. So I'm going to see what he thinks.. lol. I'm going to start getting all my files together on Sunday - so I can install Win 7 and 1110. I'll test it out when I've done that and post back the results... Strange really - I'll kind of miss all the building work. I think I can still add a lot of extra switches and output (AOA indicator etc) - but I'll fly the A10 first and see what is going to be most useful. I'll post some pics tonight (because I fixed the lights).. Thanks for your help anyway. BTW I don't think you've posted lately.. how is your build going?

I've just been re-reading the posts and you both refered to1109... does it make a difference because i'm using 1108?

No worries - I'm using the river raid mission to test it. I know it's on because I can see it working when I switch to cockpit view on my main screen. When I replace the original AN_ALR69V file with yours it stops working on cockpit view and I get nothing on my second monitor. It's weird because my MFCD's still work in cockpit view and on my second monitor.

No thats fine... I did what you said... it is in the correct directory... all the other stuff I've done because my MFCD's still work... just the RWR doesn't... I will try your new coords!

In answer to your question my mail screen is... 1920x1080 and my cockpit monitor is...1440x900

OKay - I tried your file and co-ord...nothing- and the RWR wasn't working in the virtual cockpit. Just to test _ i replaced the original RWR file and nothing on my 2nd monitor but it was working in the virtual cockpit..... any thoughts, because I don't have a clue!

My total screen area is 1920x1980... I want to place my RWR in-between my MFCD's.. I'll try what you said and your file.

Friday at last I can try and get this thing working! Ragtop/ Airdog, I tried both ways and nothing worked. Ragtop - I downloaded the file through your link and modified my multimonitor file (I guessed the co-ords) and nothing... I did notice the RWR on the virtual cockpit was working. When I checked the downloaded file for the RWR I could see no reference to 'RWR_SCREEN' .. so I tried Airdogs method and added the code... still nothing happened... but I noticed the RWR in the virtual cockpit was not working either... Below is my origiinal multimonitor file for exporting my MFCD's which works.... name = _('blah'); Description = 'Left MFCD on the left monitor,Right MFCD on the right and camera on the center' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.77777777; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 312; y = 1160; width = 420; height = 420; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 1185; y = 1160; width = 420; height = 420; } and the modified one..... = function(p) return p; end; name = _('blah'); Description = 'Left MFCD on the left monitor,Right MFCD on the right and camera on the center' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.77777777; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 312; y = 1160; width = 420; height = 420; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 1185; y = 1160; width = 420; height = 420; } RWR_SCREEN = { x = 600; y = 550; width = 170; height = 170; } Here is the modified AN_ALR69V file... dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."devices_defs.lua") dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua") indicator_type = indicator_types.COMMON purposes = {render_purpose.GENERAL} try_find_assigned_viewport{"RWR_SCREEN"} ---------------------- rwr_symbols_bound = 0.027 -- coeff to limit indication on RWR when symbol can't be place on RWR entirely -------PAGE IDs------- id_Page = { PAGE_OFF = 0, PAGE_MAIN = 1, PAGE_BIT = 2 } id_pagesubset = { COMMON = 0, MAIN = 1, BIT = 2, } page_subsets = {} page_subsets[id_pagesubset.COMMON] = LockOn_Options.script_path.."AN_ALR69V/Indicator/AN_ALR69V_COMMON_page.lua" page_subsets[id_pagesubset.MAIN] = LockOn_Options.script_path.."AN_ALR69V/Indicator/AN_ALR69V_MAIN_page.lua" page_subsets[id_pagesubset.BIT] = LockOn_Options.script_path.."AN_ALR69V/Indicator/AN_ALR69V_BIT_page.lua" ---------------------- pages = {} pages[id_Page.PAGE_OFF] = {} pages[id_Page.PAGE_MAIN] = {id_pagesubset.COMMON, id_pagesubset.MAIN} pages[id_Page.PAGE_BIT] = {id_pagesubset.COMMON, id_pagesubset.BIT} init_pageID = id_Page.PAGE_OFF use_parser = false --- master modes A10C_ALR69V_OFF = 0 A10C_ALR69V_MAIN = 1 A10C_ALR69V_BIT = 2 ------------------------------------ pages_by_mode = {} clear_mode_table(pages_by_mode, 2, 0, 0) function get_page_by_mode(master,L2,L3,L4) return get_page_by_mode_global(pages_by_mode,init_pageID,master,L2,L3,L4) end pages_by_mode[A10C_ALR69V_OFF][0][0][0] = id_Page.PAGE_OFF pages_by_mode[A10C_ALR69V_MAIN][0][0][0] = id_Page.PAGE_MAIN pages_by_mode[A10C_ALR69V_BIT][0][0][0] = id_Page.PAGE_BIT I added the code in the top few lines... What do you think?

Actually after re-reading that....... I think I understand what you are trying to say Airdog!

No! lol :)

Hi Ragtop, I think I've got it now. I already have my MFCD's set up in my Monitor Setup lua file, so I guess after I replace the AN ALR-69 file I add the RWR_SCREEN = code to my Monitor Setup file.. and change the x and y co-ords accordingly. I'll try it tonight and let you know how it goes. I am still using the 1108 version of A10C but will change to 1110 when I install Win 7. I've been looking at both yours and Airdogs posts and a quick question... is there a problem with 1110? Will I have to change or do anything differently? Have you had any problems with 1110? Thanks again for your (both of you!) help :)

Thanks Airdog - I've checked your link and have printed it out... I'll have a read through and do some tests.

Oh Sorry one other thing... When looking for the correct Lua files... The RWR isn't called the RWR is it? What is the name of the file for the RWR is it the....ALR-69 File? Ta...
