I am a brand new Skunkworks DCS-BIOS user and the LEDs stopped working for me compared with the original DCS-BIOS from 2019. The LEDs work on the older versions of Skunkworks DCS-BIOS, at least for the F-14. My solution was to remove the new 6/26/2024 nightly and install the old version DCS-BIOS_0.7.39.zip https://github.com/DCS-Skunkworks/dcs-bios/releases?page=2 and now the LEDs are working. No other changes needed.

It is pretty easy to break the flaps. What was your speed when you deployed the flaps?

I installed the DCS UFC on my old Galaxy Note and fired up the F-14. I was pleasantly surprised to see it work on the first try. Right away I got out my 1st gen Galaxy Note and tried to install it. Success! Now I can see all of the warnings/alarms and Engine/fuel without tilting my head down for the TrackIR. Brilliant and Well done Pet333r.

Looks like the F/A-18C might get the RT-1489/ALE

First thing that came to mind; What will they name the AI BN? And this https://theaviationist.com/2014/08/06/ka-6d-partial-ejection/

I can't wait! First flight as KA-6 AAR....whoops, no hose for you mister F-18 followed by Ejecting the (to be named at a later date AI) right seater all while laughing hysterically to a background music on the Walkman playing AC/DC "Highway to Hell" over the UHF radio.

You can get Jester to set the ALE39 thumb wheels to match the load out. Here is my extensive over explanation. I had some success with setting the Chaff to pilot controlled, versus flares, this using the pilot's DLC button. If the gear/flaps are up then the DLC button is the pilot's countermeasure control but you can only have flare OR chaff, not both. Of course the RIO has control of both flares and chaff. Jester menu, 6, 2, 2. (This is the RIO's ALE37 Flare MODE switch in the NORM position). I change the load out to have a significant amount of chaff available. Here is my checklist and some notes. I spent hours testing....and reading...and testing so if you do this in sequence then Jester will set the thumb wheels to match what the knee board shows and you will be able to click the chaff/DLC 64 times. The LAU-138 is a replacement for the rail that the sidewinders mount. The LAU-138 is a chaff dispenser. You will see it listed on the weapons load out screen. There is a complicated arrangement to control and account for the extra chaff. But if you look at the Knee Board after the weapons load is complete you will see the settings for the thumb wheel switches. IF you are in the PIC seat with Jester in the back: Provides 10 flares and 64 chaff with pilot controlled chaff Chaff load: Comms menu F8 F6 F6 Arms: Alt+’ Set flare slider to 10. Select LAU-138 sidewinders Pilot Chaff: Jester 6 2 2 Arms again (after the weapons load is complete): Top off fuel, Gun Ammo 670 Verify Load Out via the Knee Board IF you are in the RIO seat or have a RIO: Brief the RIO on CM procedures: Make sure he knows how to dispense flare and chaff (INS DEL or mapping). Explain the LAU-138 dispenser. Check Knee Board for the load out. Countermeasures ALE37: Provides 10 flares and 64 chaff: PILOT: F8 to F6 F6 PILOT: Weps ‘ menu 10 Flare 100 Chaff RIO: Set LOAD thumbwheels FCCC RIO: Click RESET Switch and hold 5 sec RIO: Flare MODE switch to NORM Arms again (after the weapons load is complete): Top off fuel, Gun Ammo 670 Verify Load Out via the Knee Board Provides: 50 Flares 40 Chaff PILOT: weps ‘ menu 100 Flare 100 Chaff RIO: Set LOAD thumb wheels to match the knee board RIO: Click RESET Switch and hold 5 sec RIO: Flare MODE switch to NORM Arms again (after the weapons load is complete): Top off fuel, Gun Ammo 670 Verify Load Out via the Knee Board This Seems like a lot to do just for some extra chaff but I was sick of the radar guided missiles ruining my day, after day, in multi-player. Plus it is cool nerd stuff to understand the countermeasures. REF: I learned a lot from the Fly-And-Wire article titled "RIO seat: Quick look at the Countermeasures (AN/ALE-39 and LAU-138)," this is the link if it is allowed here: https://flyandwire.com/2019/05/31/rio-seat-quick-look-at-the-countermeasures-an-ale-39-and-lau-138/

You can re-arm with the engines running FYI. But if you need to shutdown for repair, first connect the ground power. That will keep the INS spinning.

Started the Campaign for the 2nd time around. It is that good. Here is a picture after night landing in mission two. 1 Bolter and 1 Three wire. So real. So exciting.

I have split throttles. I get setup behind the tanker at about the correct speed then use the right engine only for speed changes during refueling.

Just for fun; Try air to air refueling in multiplayer. It is on my checklist to shut up Jester. What a clown.

I saw someone sitting on the cat3 for five minutes. He was messaging for help and whatnot. I told him about Lshift U. A few seconds later..whoosh...good times.

The S-3s seem to have a glitch that the basket will appear deployed, a phantom. Cycling the radio process seems to fix this, 'abort contact' then start over. Otherwise I do this: WINGS: Bomb mode PROBE: OUT Exterior Lights: ON JESTER OFF: menu 8,2 Popups and message windows off. Slump down in the seat and lower the seat (especially with the S-3)

AAR WINGS:Bomb Mode Probe: OUT Exterior Lights ON Jester: OFF 8,2 Popups: TTI Off F10 F2 F6 F2 On F10 F2 F6 F1 I have mapped my Jester Wheel to the Keyboard Numbers. Also Mapped the ` to the Jester callup. Example I can quickly type ' ' 8 2 to silence Jester.

Nope. Also if you are on multi player it appears that Jester has turned off his oxygen and starts to go bonkers when you approach the basket. Brings meaning to the phrase "back seat driver."

If you follow the guide, I use 'bomb mode' and then speed brakes, then when you go back to 'auto' then the trim works itself out. This instead of having to trim out a huge down angle from putting in the flaps, slats, gear, and brake on their own. 1. Overhead break: Bomb Mode & Speed Brake 2. Downwind: 250KT gear down, 225KT flaps, then wing sweep to AUTO.

I use relative bearing grease.

I found one server that had pre-set the Kneel Down. Use the exterior views and check the nose wheel.

I grew up on and around US Naval bases. Every time I saw a carrier I could pick it out by the superstructure with few exceptions. I remember when the Enterprise had the major makeover and that was a big deal. But even the Ranger Vs Connie had their differences. Connie had the extra tower behind the island. The carriers deserve to be unique with the kind of attention to detail from DCS.

DCS - Free GAZPROM glitch Howto IL-78M AAR Syria SU-33s Player and Wingman both SU-33s Wingman refuels on left wing Player on the right wing If player starts refueling and disconnects refueling continues. Also stays topped off. If 2nd wingman refuels on the right he usually crashes into the tanker and both die. I was able to reproduce this 4 times so far
