Thank you. I do also have TDC depress bound to a separate button. I also have SSS on a different 4-way hat than TDS slew which is on a ministick. But, I'll try the SSS DEPRESS X 2 first, then SSS FWD. Doesn't this SSS DEPRESS x2 change the TPOD slew mode between HUD and TPOD? I guess IRMAV needs to be in HUD mode to lock? Maybe this is my whole issue. If I'm remembering SSS DEPRESS x2 correctly...

Hello, I am having the hardest time with the IR Maverick AGM-65F. Nothing about firing this weapon seems intuitive. This is the only way I can figure out how to fire the weapon. The DMT TV mode slew speed is so much faster than the TPOD. Why can't these be the same slew rate? Why is the Maverick TV mode have an upsidedown slew mode? I get so confused. - TPOD - TPOD SLAVE mode (FIND target, designate) - Switch to DMT TV mode on right MFD - Pull up STORES page LEFT MFCD - Uncage Maverick - Sensor Select FWD for IRMV mode - Verify target is locked, if not TDC down -PICKLE! Is there a way to use the TPOD instead of the DMT? I can never get the IRMAV to lock a target on it's own. If I press TDC down the seeker head just moves to the HUD pipper location. I'm lost and frustrated! Please help!

during the long cut scene, I was actually shot down. Then started at the checkpoint. Escort fighters fire on you, there doesn't look like any means of escape. Not sure if this is intened or the same bug.

I had no idea there were any bombers in this mission until, I just now looked at the Tacview... The mission que says go to waypoint 6 RTB... Nothing about taking down bombers Glad I now know what to shoot down. I'm on my 10th attempt.

Hello, I had an issue where after my failed A/A refueling attempts. When completing pre contact with Texaco there is a mission message that a save point is created and you can return to the mission with full tanks. I made about 20 minutes worth of attempts at refueling. I quit the mission then selected end mission. When going back into the campaign from the DCS campaign selection menu, the mission advanced as completed and put me to mission 4. I was not able to complete the second half of the mission. Should I have instead chose to "fly again" instead of ending the mission?

Thanks to the Update and a bit more DCS flight time.... I finished this in one try!! The stock loadout worked great. Wingman functions worked fine. I even forgot to contact Col Sulemon on the ingress to waypoint 1. The mission didn't fail me and Col Sulemon was contacted automatically. I was finished with about 5 minutes to spare.

I suspect this may be it. I'll take a look, thank you.

Hello, I'm pretty sure I had the guage working at some point. But, I have tried to use Helios and DCS Device Server to export MFD's to second and third screens. I've even manually tried to move the RWR as an export, but it never displayed. Since then the Guage doesn't light up or shown anything regardless of me turning the knob in any direction. I ran a slow repair and it still doesn't work. I am not running Helios and the monitor profile is not selected. Any ideas of which files I can delete to resolve this? FIXED Deleted F18 folder completely, then run repair. All OVGMe mods turned off. Fixed.

I'm not positive about Max Background refresh actually does. But, I do run TrackIR in the background and I didn't want any GPU resources spent on this native application or any other application while I'm playing DCS. So I set it low just in case. Vizio P75QXH1 My screen is supposedly HDMI VRR compatible and is Freesync premium 120hz. Not certified G-SYNC, but is supposed to be compatible, although reported by others not working or implemented yet. There is also a compatibility issue with the RTX cards and this panel for 4k 120hz ports. I can get it to work but it take much fiddling and reseting. I have not tried low latency mode. But I'm happy with 115-150 FPS @4K. Did you want me to test this and report back?

Not exactly sure what might be happening here. I've rarely have had crashes loading into DCS. What CPU and Ram size are you running? Here's a link to my 3070 settings, maybe this will help in some way. I do NOT have my card overclocked.

This is on a large screen tv with HDMI 2.1 I will give your suggestions a shot and see how the smoothness is for my setup. Thanks for the heads up. I randomly came to theses settings by trail and error and trying settings I've seen in other guides. Ultimately, Wanted to report my experiences. UPDATE: I tried the settings you have, but it hit my frame rate if I didn't keep the max frame rate setting high. But with what you reccomended and and the frame rate setting, I'm much higher than before

Windows key + tab ?

Can you set mark points on all the ground targets with the TPOD in a single pass? I'll have to try that. I've been doing target, laze, drop, turn, aquire new target, repeat. Having to trim the aircraft every turn and every bomb run is also heavy load while I'm trying to aquire a new target. Maybe this will save me some time and load. I've also got way out of trim using autopilot for too long without constant trimming.

Teeps, you are a beast my friend! I salute you for completing this mission! I still can't wrap my head around killing infantry ground targets with 1 minute remaining with a machine gun scattered across a wide area. Were the mission designers expecting us to hover at the port and wait for the infantry to appear and do some rocket hunting? Looks like more of the same illogical mission design from the first mission. Thanks for sharing this. I may be abandoning any more attempts with this campaign.

Over 60 attempts, yes, you read it correctly. I am a beginner pilot with about 150 hours of DCS and about 100 hours in Harrier. Full Hotas Setup, exported MFD, and multiple screens I have been extremely frustrated with this campaign start. Still have not completed mission 1. Pilot load for this mission 1 is extreme. I would be surprised if a beginner pilot would succeed with this mission. The starting loadout may not be the best. mistakes I've made and many times repeated. - Forgot to contact Col. Suleman before bombing. - Forgot to turn on the Lazer. - Turning too tight on a target second pass - Flown too far ahead toward the incoming bandits, taken out by SAM - RUN OUT OF TIME Difficulties: - Perfect passes and perfect bomb drops on all targets - Limited bombs and maximum target requirements - Time limits are too limited

@imacken Confirmed Working for me. You saved my Weekend!! EDIT: I am actually having an issue with thee STORES page, no weapon text

I wish I could help. If you could clarify what's happening here. Maybe post a track file? In my experience, the parking brake is a little funky. With my X52 pro hotas bind I sometimes have to press the parking brake multiple times before it actually disengages. Sometimes it will be engaged and not working because the plane is already moving. I believe the throttle also needs to be fully back to idle for the parking brake to engage and disengage. My usual encounter with the brake for me is looking at the parking brake lever in the cockpit, watching it move as I press the bind. It does something like this. PRESS Bind, lever moves forward, then it slips back, throttle forward, no acceleration, PRESS Bind, watch it stay forward then throttle up, plane moves, throttle back to idle. Then I apply the wheel brake and hold it until I'm ready to roll.

I was able to swap to different rockets in the mission planner. Also was able to get the ground crew to reload. These rockets loaded in this mission may have been the rockets ED removed from the harrier with this last update.

Since the recent update. The Harrier seems to ignore my joystick curves settings. I was using a 28 and remember before the update that setting roughly using the whole stick motion. Now it's like it was when I had curves below 10. Haven't had time to test new curves yet.

Anyone else having trouble with firing LAU-3 FFAR Mk1 HE rocket in the open beta v2.5.5.60720 with the first mission in this campaign?

Compass Lights / Test light keybinding ? Switch panel toggle COMP / OFF / LTS TEST Does this exist in game? How would one map a keybinding to this?
