Q3ark

I'm relatively new to the strike eagle so I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. The left feed tank only fills to 1200 lbs. while the right feed tank fills to 1500 lbs. In the Tomcat and Hornet they balance out automatically so i assume that both feed tanks should be the same here too. I'm running DCS multi threading on the latest open beta. tested on cold start and hot start jet.

That’s hilarious, gives me an idea though, drive the mosquito from London to the south coast!

It’s been a while since I used the f16 but try cursor zero on the targeting pod before you go back to nav mode, that might be easier.

You might also want to try sweep your wings back to 50 degrees, it increases your AOA which will drop your vertical stabs down out of the disturbed air coming off the tanker wing. I’ve not tried it myself in sim but I’ve seen on Ward Carrol’s YouTube channel that they used to do that.

that should be the next realism / immersions feature, loads of squashed bugs on the window when flying low, would be hilarious

Thanks dude, deleting the fxo and metashaders folders did the trick!

Since the last open beta update the landing gear indicator light textures are broken. Both the red and green lights are missing textures.

Even the old gazelle helicopter used by the British army had sheepskin seat covers. Friend of mine in the air corps “acquired” one when they retired them and uses it when he’s simming

I’m not sure if it’s related to this issue but I’ve found that the nav lights also work without the battery being on.

Thanks deephack, I’ve had the Viggen for years but always struggled to learn it, your tutorials have really helped!

Try doing some night flights or bad weather stuff. Landing on the boat at night with high wind and rain with bad visibility after a successful sortie is far from boring.

Figured it out, i had the weather set wrong, it was giving me a case 2 approach instead of a case 3. I am rusty!

I'm back to the hornet after a long break and trying to re-learn ACLS. Everything is fine up to the point i send the platform message at 5000 ft and 250 kts then ACLS just stops, the commanded altitude, airspeed and rate of descent on the link 4 page goes blank and it's as if I'm on a case 1 approach. Has anything changed recently? I used Waggs video as a refresher, at 11:37 where he sends platform and gets guidance to descend to 1200 ft at 250 kts i get nothing.

Why are you kicking off about a bug that they have said is already fixed?

I think that old pilot was steaming drunk or high in that interview, I wouldn’t take too much of what he said seriously.

Hello dude, probably best to post this request here

Having to do the master test stuff on a simulated jet that will never have a failure just seems like a complete waste of time.

I’m new to the phantom, I know very little about it. I was curious how the workload is split up between the pilot and WSO. Is it the same as in the Tomcat? I notice that the radar controls are in the front cockpit, does the WSO also have a set of controls?

You could just turn the pilot body off, don’t make a big deal out of nothing.

Never mind, had to reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2022 Redistributable, problem solved.

I have been unable to run DCS in VR since the 2.9 update. 2.8 was running fine. I have attached the crash log, can anyone help? dcs.20231030-213250.crash

If I remember correctly it’s Ctrl, Shift and Tab

Following the procedure posted by Mike_CK still works in 2.9.

“User posts bog report with track reply.” Devs: ”We already fixed that, it’ll be in the next update.” I love that, this release has been great. You guys are killing it!

Check your controls dude, dcs sets some weird default controls sometimes.
