This may be correct behavior, but it doesn't seem correct. ARC-164 radio switched to GRD (Guard) displays 243.000 on the faceplate, as it should, but displays the manual frequency on the UHF Radio Frequency Repeater. DCS 2.9.2.49629 Open Beta MT

The kneeboard frequencies found on the PDF and in-game PNG (A10C II) for Mission 15 do not match. At least for Initial contact with Springfield 1-1, the in-game PNG kneeboard is correct (33.0). I quit at that point to reprogram radios so I can't comment on the remainder of the channel plan. PDF kneeboard: In-game PNG kneeboard:

Landing lights at airports as well.

If the player and Six-Pack get up high (like >17k) after destroying the ship, the two fixed-wing bandits RTB without attacking. Similar outcome if player extends out 15nm and monitors with TGP, the L39s approached and then turned away... possibly because the two vipers were there. If the player watches the rotor-wing bandit until joker, the score is 50 despite destroying the target, following ROE, and surviving. Staying below the cloud base and close to the helicopter, the story plays out as I believe it's intended. DCS 2.9.2.49629 Open Beta MT edit: disregard, it seems the trigger zone is just very tight around the helicopter / ship, so basically you have to stay immediately overhead.

Perhaps, but even line of sight it sometimes wasn't working. That said, not a big deal, and quite possibly not related to mission design. Could be operator error, or could just be a another random comm issue with the A-10C II module.

Similar comms issues for me, but not consistently. Sometimes Warrior 2 or Tickles just stops talking. Sometimes they are fine. Doesn't seem to be a matter of me getting off frequency. It seems, but I haven't tested enough to verify, that the comms stop when Overlord transmits at the same time as I expect a transmission from Warrior. Also, when I do get Warrior 2 (JTAC) to shine their laser, it's close to the bunkers, but not close enough to do any damage with 500 pound bombs. Not a big deal, but seems odd to shine a laser if it's not in the precise location that the bomb should hit.

This occurred on my flight as well, but just for the initial targets by the three white buildings. Inspecting the Tacview, it appears that it's actually destroyed by Echo 2's defensive efforts rather than spontaneous destruction like the Mi8 in the previous mission. Not related, but when Dodge 1-1 checks in with Echo 3, he states "We've got 60 minutes of playtime, we're established at the hold point, call us if you need anything." The briefing and kneeboards don't mention a hold point, but I orbited Echo 3 for 60 minutes (time accelerated, of course) before moving onto WP9. The only thing that happened during that hold time was that Dodge 1-2 saw a mountain. Not unlike actual IRL boring patrol missions!

Warrior read the 9-line for me today on DCS 2.9.1.48335 Open Beta MT. Be sure to use the JTAC comm menu with the ARC 186 radio tuned to 42.3 FM.

me three. The truck and personnel are not destroyed, although the radio message indicates that they were.

Thanks @Bazz_Mulder, that actually looks like it lines up better than I would have expected. Do you think one on each side would reduce any play?

Mind sharing photos?

Looking to do this damper mod. Do you think there is any advantage in using a higher quality motorcycle steering damper for this purpose? Starting with a new TPR, I'm a reluctant to drill holes for warranty purposes. The only non-drilling option is the 3d printed kits, like what CubeSim sells, correct? If not CubeSim, any particular recommendation?

Same issue with lighthouses. Beams are visible in IR even during the day with hot ambient temperature and direct sun. DCS 2.9.1.48335 Open Beta MT. Lighthouse_IR.miz

Abu Dhabi's Farmers Market needs to work on their air defense, they left the taxiway unguarded!

Confirmed that ADF is not currently working for VHF FM (ARC-186) in the A-10C II:

My testing, and what I'm understanding from above: ADF in ARC-186 radio (VHF FM) is non-functional still as of DCS 2.9.1.48335 Open Beta. Correct? Was trying to get it to work in Operation Persian Freedom Campaign mission 11.

I'm not sure if ADF is working on the ARC-186 radio (VHF FM that is used for Copper / Red), as I can't get it to track Forge's transmission, but it definitely works on on the ARC-164 (UHF) radio when listening to the other Gunman flights. Or maybe I'm doing it wrong, this was the first time I've used ADF in the hog. I destroyed all of those SCUDs (21 by my count) and shot down the helicopter before it lands and still got 95. Is it possible to shoot down the helicopter before it lands and not get the points for Forge survival? I suspect that's what's happening here. On another note, super fun mission, and loved the canyon! If I was really going solo SCUD hunting without any medium range SAM threat under low clouds with potential for 20+ targets, I'd pack 2x BRU-42 full of M282 APKWS, 4x CBU-105s, leaving one pylon open for whatever, and of course a metric poop ton of flares! The laser bombs are about as much use as dumb bombs under the conditions.

Are you verifying your designated target with the tpod? The pre-programmed waypoints were and still are valid, but the briefing materials still have invalid coordinates.

Unless you hot start the mission in DCS 2.9.0.46801 Open Beta, you'll be flying with un-aligned very expensive paper weights. Get good with non-GPS weapons or switch back to DCS 2.8.8.43704 Open Beta.

I'm right on the coast about 150 meters from the crashing waves, so constant salt exposure that corrodes everything that is metallic. Pretty much what a real carrier-based HOTAS would be exposed to. I haven't been covering the controls, clearly I should have. I assume you are suggesting dielectric grease; can I just coat the potentiameters and button contacts? I've been just cleaning them with isopropyl alcohol and then reassembling, as I was concerned about grease at least while under warranty. So far, no problem with the main axis on the Warthog HOTAS or Throttle, but issues with the other axes and buttons.

Confirmed that this occurs with GBU-38, GBU-54, GBU-31 on cold start only. CBU-103 and CBU-105 are not affected, which makes sense as they are not GPS-reliant. Track attached. A10C-jdam_align_test.miz a10c-jdam-align.trk

Works great now, thanks @mbucchia

Looking at DLSS in VR reminds me how amazing Quad Views already is.
