Twice today I set up the F-14, Got into position and pressed PLM button, got a lock and put the cross on the target, (TU-22M) Fired the Sparrow, good thud off it goes, Range on first was about 9 miles, but at 2.4miles out, the first one stayed at 2.4 miles....So fired another that hit the target, was in much closer but then CTD. So set up again, 10 miles, PLM, fired the AIM7, 2.4 miles....everything stopped.....about 20 sec later CTD. I have had other flights where the sparrow has worked, most failures have been RTFM and I've got the lastest updates as at 06/05/19. Otherwise, thank you for a brilliant sim.

Thank you for that

For Sydy, That's a fine video, you get some nice views....I'm very jealous, but glad that you can do video's like that. ....but that's what these sims are for. Thank you

Hi, It could be a sign that my GEFORCE 1050 2GB Card has met it's match. Got 16Gb RAM so it should handle the scenery. Used the F-18 out of Sharjah and went south, getting down to under 1000, and the shadows started flickering. Did the same from Abu Dhabi in the gazelle. So lowered the settings a bit from the High, still had the same problem But then put shadows to flat and it's done the job for me. Just curious if anyone else has had these problems Thank you David

I just found this mission series, and used the first on for my Tomcat, THANK YOU. I've been able to trap with both F-18 and the F-14, but not been well and can't concentrate on the tutorials at the moment, so borrowed your mission and finally got the blasted thing off the carrier,watching the salute etc is just fun. Thank you , ok so I was so busy watching the animations of wheels up and flaps I ended up in the drink, but I enjoyed it

Hi I made a flight on the Persian Gulf Map, with the Stennis. Flew out of Sharjah, and landed on the carrier. Released the hook and moved forward but nosewheel steering did not work. Is it to do with the turning of the landing gear handle, I notice it turned.....don't remember seeing that happen before so will have to play with it a bit...pity really I was so chuffed, and then Jester realised I was screwed and told us to eject,yep...not the final landing I wanted lol....so much to learn

Hi Bart, No never made it back to Scotland, was ground Comms and Tac Comms (TCW) Flew a bit with Helo world and Nimrod Fleet and then as Comms Sgt at Honington, Lindholme/Finningley, Linton/Dishforth/Topcliffe managed a couple of flights in Tucano. and the fast jet ground Sims at various places. But usually had an undeground bunker office. Got me around the world so can't complain

Lets face it, we ALL miss Chuck's guide's on this. But we have to put no pressure on a guy who has helped us SO MUCH so far. So, Yes' I'm struggling as I cannot get the Tutorial to work, I've had to learn to program my system to fit and had my issues with the RIO. But, it's still a fine product - wart's and all as we say in UK, and it will mature...like me...hopefully better than me and it's early days. C'mon whoever envisaged that we'd be able to simulate a Tomcat to this degree, sure beats the Aifix kit, with no disrespect to Airfix. We have what we have and we'll have to get on with it.

Using Persian map, I have bases with lots of static objects Loaded 1 x F-14 Flyng round the Stennis so I can form up, Me on the ground at Sharjah engines running at a dispersal. From selecting FLIGHT, 6.08, to the FLY tag, then total load time 10.44....and my Trackir stalled AAAAAAAAAAAAAArgh! Hey but it's early days, WHO CARES, Stewardess has brought me a dark beer...Y'all gotta get a Stewardess on board!

Hi, Training mission cold dark. In the rear cockpit on start up with Jester, I'm asked to click 'Data ADF to BOTH' Using Track IR but view is obscured by seatbelt, so lean left, up down round, When I can get the target square over the button, cannot get + to change to arrow and select, to continue. Stuck. Still enjoying it, will start with engines running and see if any one else reports Cheers

You VR guys are killing me, but the Stewardess say's it's her or the VR, she's been a great Stewardess....gonna have to figure something out. But like you guys very happy with money well spent

I second the above, LOTS to learn. Jester is a game changer but mine resigned after the first landing, at least he didn't eject!. NONE OF THIS IS CRITISISM OF THE MODULE, LOVE IT. Getting used to the HUD without speeds, and the funny speed dial, (just not British dammit) Had a Persian map flight out of Sharjah to the north at high alt and high speed. Enjoyed watching the wings auto sweep back. Then roll over and low level into the mountains for some contour flying 'A La RAF Tornado' style,(I am ex RAF). Jester made some adverse comments about getting close to the hard stuff. Then back to Sharjah at very low level, in poor light conditions where I came in too fast and ambled into the desert a bit and then back on the concrete, Jester giving it "'Shit Shit Shit your too fast!" just as I coming to a halt. (Then I think he left to change his flight suit). No I idea what he was moaning about, the wings were still on, it was on 3 legs...so that's a landing innit!, ok it's a bit dusty. So I see why single seat pilots say they prefer, pound for pound, the extra fuel they can carry with no backseater lol. But teamwork is a learning curve and this whole module is a learning curve. The aircraft is a pleasure to view alongside. Got lots to read, again and again, but this one well worth it. It loads kinda slow, but I see there's a thread about it so the grown ups will get it all get fixed. Looking forward to the painters getting let loose and using it as a bombcat. THANK YOU GUYS

Hi single player, taking about 5 mins to load. I have gigabyte GA Z 270 HD3 motherboard Intel icore 7500 3.4gHz series 7 16GB T Force Vulcan Ddr4-3000 memory NVIDIA GTX 1050 Graphics card Love the plane!

I had to put in ./Dcs.... in power shell to get it to work, hope this helps I.e. I go to my c:\Eagle Dynaics\Openbeta\bin\DCS Updater, theshift rt click mouse to open powershell , it’s version of a cod screen opens and I paste in my ./DCS_Updater.exe

Got the download thanks, jumped in and inPersian gulf had a pass down the carrier deck, too high too fast and still hunting out buttons etc, so put it down on land ..THANK YOU, I enjoyed it, I have lots to learn and my runs through the manual are no way enough. So off to a quiet map sit at a dispersal and go through the cockpit while having a coffee. Nice job guys

you need to get the updater to update, if it's not updating, then Google DCS Updater and follow the article, it then brings the info down to the module manager, then module manager goes over to Heatblur....and you sit.....watching it download....like me

Your's is working normally, the updater is meant to find it automatically, if for some reason it does not AND you know there's an update, then you would revert to the updater.exe or whatever you need to kick it into life. If it's working for you now....don't fix it

If you google 'Use DCS Updater to force update' there's an excellent guide. hope that helps

Google 'use DCS Update to force update', its all there

you may have to go into bin and force it with command ./DCS_Updater.exe update (I have win 10)

Yep I'm on 2.5 for this, no harm in asking

Manuel_108, so you get a quick download, this is looking at about 5 hours with 799 looking at the update thread a minute ago, time to walk the dog!

Euan3251, It's not a daft question, there has been total confusion previously in other downloads, In the main, you will usually get a positive answer from the majority of members....cos we all had to learn too.

FYI, It's downloading, have a great day everyone

Top of the page, Community, etc, the Calendar. No I’ve never noticed it either! ... so put the kettle on again, lots of time to go over the PDF manual...not thatI can retain any of it for long. Happy download day
