Thank you, that answers my questions. It looks like the LCOS automatically pops up in close combat like you said.

I'm new to Lock on, and have never played an Air-to-air game before. 1: How do I pull up the gun sight? I have a bind set, but it pulls up the static sight instead of the LCOS (computed sight with ball/line). The russian jets' funnel works. If I get a radar lock in the F-15C, then the LCOS pops up, but this is pretty useless in the situations where you're using a gun: You're looking at the bandit, not at your radar trying to get a lock. Shouldn't need a lock for a basic computed gunsight. 2: Can I get the gun sight and the Aim-9 seeker simultaneously? Should just have an LCOS and the seeker together so you do do a quick uncage/pickle between cannon bursts without switching modes.

My working setup: Right throttle: throttle Left throttle: RPM/prop pitch Trigger/weapon pickle: guns/bombs Trim switch: Elevator/aileron trim DMS left/right: rudder trim TMS up/down: flaps up/down Autopilot throttle button: Gear Coolie hat left/right: increase/decrease target size (gunsight) Coolie hat up/down: increase/decrease target range (gunsight) I'm curious what others are using.

Sorry if this has already been posted: Using the zoom feature actually simulates better what a pilot would see due to the way the FOV works in game. Depending on your monitor setup, your screen is likely to only take up about 40 degrees of your field of view. Using this cramped of a FOV (zoom level) in game all the time is not practical, since it would be like looking through a straw. Alternating between a practical (high FOV, low zoom) view and a realistic (low FOV, high zoom) one using zoom is important when straffing or identifying targets. Screen resolution is also a factor.

I have this bug too. Was about to post a thread when a search for "white square" didn't come up with anything.

Are you using the Logitech profiler or in-game bindings?

Thanks Nate!

I looked at all of the stock mission briefings: Serpent's Head and Tail are the only ones that are missing the frequencies. This should be an easy fix.

I was playing Serpent's Head and Tail online today. JTAC and SEAD communications are required for these, but no frequencies were listed in the brief. We could not contact them using the default frequencies. What's going on here? Are the frequencies listed somewhere else? Is it a bug?

I think this confusion is caused by the tutorials showing you how to locate targets using waypoints that are on the ground. Then players assume that's how you find targets, and get confused when the actual mission way points are in the air. Simple way to target the ground below the waypoint: TGP to boresight, point at approximate waypoint location, ground stabilize, slew TGP over the waypoint icon on the TAD.

I'm using a g940 and love it, but the warthog would be better for this game. Dcs A-10th doesn't take much advantage of ff.

What do the two attack headings mean at the end of the JTAC line? Is that the range of headings to perform the attack on? How do you locate grid coordinates, ie with the CACO gives you coordinates in SMERCH hunt.

Force feedback in addition to trim force feedback: IE control surface resistance, buffeting, weapon release.

Suggestion: ATC Freqs in mission briefings Mission descriptions should include airport name and tower frequency.

Yes.
