You certainly don't :)

Hello Err... Put your velocity vector inside the house. Done? OK, you're flying direct route to the active (DEST) waypoint. The triangle is not related to waypoint. It shows your current route.

ENT mixes HFR and BFR.

No issue here. Share your .log, maybe someone can read it more proficiently?

And soon it will, AFAIK (Zeus'post about HUD and PCA).

Multiple reasons can lead to a DECOL warning. Read about them in the manual. Not-centered-trim is just the one you have the most chances of having. Because DECOL warning is inhibited when the aircraft is in flight. And it detects that with WoW sensors mounted on both the main and nose L/G. Neutral trim. One "click" on AP Standby does the trick.

Hi David. Is it doable without the 530s? I don't like to mix 530s with A-to-G payloads, as the aircraft can't do this in the same flight IRL. ++

Hi, "My" manual is the one provided with the module, so you have it too ;) \DCS World\Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Doc Correct :)

1/ The "OR ELSE" keybinds are meant to do precisely that; to be use with temporary buttons. 2/ No bug. Disable "easy comms" option in DCS.

ALCN doesn't exist. ALCM does, OTOH. Means ALignement sur Cap Mémorisé. So, alignement, but without the INS finding out the heading of the aircraft (vs true North) but rather using the heading it previously memorized. To be used if the aircraft did not move since the last use of the INS. In DCS, to be used after a rearm/refuel. ALN (ALignement Normal, Normal Alignment) is, as its name implies, the standard way of doing an INS Alignment. Lasts longer. You're reading an outdated version of the manual. On mine (current version), the alignment is described page 99 and next ones. Your findings are correct; INS updates are buggy at the moment. It's to you to decide to use or not the options features. I don't use them, but then I don't do IP bombing either (until it's sorted out). I can't tell, never tried the auto-switch to next WPT. Not exactly. But this is per design & correct. What you call the "active" one is the DEST waypoint. Its data are displayed on the HSI and HUD. All data displayed on the PCN are related to PREP waypoint. It doesn't need to be the "active" one, meaning you can navigate to WPT1 and still get data e.g. range/ETA to WPT 3 at the same time. Of course, if you navigate to WPT1 and want to know your ETA to it, then you need to have DEST = PREP, both on "01".

OK. I did try without GPU before answering to you yesterday. I didn't try with a completely cold & dark aircraft. I did however refuel and rearm cold & dark, but only at mission start (i.e. before performing the first ALN). This works OK too: mission start (C&D) => GPU => refuel/rearm => ALN => engine start. No N.deg issue when doing this.

For take off you have an inverted T on the VTH that is a pitch indicator. Rotate until this T and the horizon are aligned, you have the correct pitch to take off. Maintain that pitch while accelerating (still full AB) up to 250kt (light aircraft) or 300kt (heavy aircaft). Then you may stop the AB and manoeuver. In general, use the energy chevrons in your HUD this is their purpose: chevrons above velocity vector = you are accelerating. And vice versa. Again, I disagree when you say "loss of power" because that implies an issue with thrust. You may say "inability to accelerate" and there I will agree. Solution=Reduce the AoA. As written earlier, Razbam may need to tune things a bit more in a later version, but the one we now have is already "flyable". :)

^this :)

Nope, it looks OK. I would advise to add the GPU before shutdown, but that's not mandatory (unless perhaps you take much time and get the CC caution before validating the ALCM?). Better safe than sorry: connect the GPU. Get in the cockpit -> ALN with ground power -> NAV -> start engine -> fly & fight -> RTB -> get GPU + shutdown engine -> rearm & refuel -> get N.deg at this point (as a consequence of the rearm & refuel) -> perform an ALCM -> NAV -> start engine again and disconnect GPU

OK so F-15 was AI. Perhaps something to check, but I don't how to be sure to "force" AI F-15 to use either TWS or STT when firing a 120...

Right. I agree. :) Except the starter part, it's not electrical. More like a JFS.

The point isn't climb or dive, really, it's AoA. Disregarding AoA is the recipe to make AF447 never reach Paris. We have an advantage over them (I don't mean the tragic end): we have an AoA gauge in the M-2000. In combat or APP modes (i.e. when you'll most likely reach higher values of AoA), AoA is also displayed in our HUD.

Well, I must say that: - I "rarely" feel the need to re-align after having already fully aligned the aircraft. - I almost never perform hot refuel/rearm. - I wouldn't perform alignment (ALN or ALCM) with engine running, unless there is no other option (i.e. no GPU available). But if I were to try, here would be the result (see attachment). To be comprehensive I did ALN, refuel/rearm, ACLM (cold), engine start, rearm again, ACLM (hot), take off, bomb run with TAS (not my best one I'm afraid). ++ Az' PS: No such thing as a fly-by re-alignment; you can do a position update inflight (fly by, slant range...) but you simply cannot do an alignment.

Also VENT isn't the middle position... ;)

Well IDN is a French acronym. HSI an English one. Not exactly the same way of doing things, but close enough to use the same name IMO.

@fitness88: Not much more than a decade, really. :) Got ~serious about it with this project.

^ this :)

I used ALCM yesterday night, after a refuel&rearm, on 1.5.6 U2, no issue (except the old inverted counter which remains to be fixed).

1. My mistake, I edited. Switch to the right = valve open, fuel goes to the engine Switch to the left = valve closed, fuel doesn't go to the engine. 2. You always switch on start-up pump. It is enough if you don't have external power (APU = AC power. Refer to the manual for electric system schematics) 3. Aircraft equipped with two start-up plugs. Only one needed to start on the ground (both used to relight engine inflight). To even their wear, you change the one to use at each start up.
