Is Discord the ONLY way to download this mod?

hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. so ive enabled the TACAN, ICLS,ACLS, and LINK4 on the supercarrier, double checked all frequencies, I fly inbound and everything seems to be working, until i slow to on speed at 140KTS, engage ATC (as in chucks guide) and the second i select the autopilot to couple, everything goes to hell..the plane abruptly turns left, then right..kinda seems like its going in the general direction but always seems to be lost, about put me in the drink until i firewalled the throttles and ended up making a manual approach and hand jammed it onto the deck. I get everything including the final "ACL RDY Mode 1" message With the ACLS I CANNOT get this autopilot to work at all. ive followed "chucks guide" to the letter, watched wags videos on youtube, but im clearly not doing something right..is there a trick to auto landing the hornet onto the deck? this is what ive been following...https://chucksguides.com/aircraft/dcs/fa-18c/

thats crazy! they did an awsome job on this mod. Wish they'd do the two Seat F16!!!

trying to use the mission "Toobig" for carrier landing practice at nellis...downloaded all the assets except for IFLOLSYellow. even in the comments for "TooBig" people had trouble finding it, searched user files and only found toobig. where in the world can i dowload this? mission wont run without it.

Quick Question on the CJS super hornet mod v2.1.....I noticed in the showcase video that at 1:02 hes in the backseat!! how can I get this view, just judging by the detail thats not an external view moved inside, and when i move the cockpit view it stops at the back of the seat..how do I get back in the WSO cockpit???

That would still be amazing to have…from what was said in that article it seems like they are currently working on this and we may have that within a couple years or so…would be a huge leap forward for DCS in my opinion!

This is something (the one thing) I have been praying for since being introduced to DCS, and I read an article interviewing Matt Wagner regarding this https://www.key.aero/article/dcs-world-infinity-and-beyond and it seemed promising, and that’s the fact that evidently they are working on and we may eventually see them making a one global map for DCS, essentially making it like the other flight sims out there where you can fly almost anywhere in the world. Does anyone have ANY news on this..I’m sure it’s going to be a while before we hear any official announcement but just curious, please tell me this is still a thing lol. Yes I am one of the super nerds that wants to be able to “deploy” and fly my F16 from the United States across the Atlantic to where I’m stationed at, bumping the tanker the entire way rather than just “poof..I’m in the Middle East”

Looking at this mod CFT_Mod_3.0.2 (digitalcombatsimulator.com) and wondering if theres a way to install ONLY the ground assets. I was actually trying to find a way to show the crew ladder and covers etc and stubbled upon this mod that actually does this function by adding another "pylon" to make the assets visible. this is what im after...any chance someone would be willing to help me out with this? it said something about it modded the lua file (which i cant find to save my life) and also in the read me it mentioned being able to choose what mods you wanted to add...unfortunately there are no instructions even to install this mod, let alone choose which ones you want. can someone more experienced with modding give me a hand or point me in the right direction?

Hey guys, just curious…I’ve been schooling myself on the AV8B and have been practicing at the range out of Nellis. The other day I hit bingo and decided to land at creech to refuel and re arm but noticed while I could get fuel, the ONLY weapon available were unguided rockets…so refueled and took off with the rockets headed for the range. Not sure why I couldn’t get anything else. The next night I did the same thing, landed at creech and this time taxing to the main ramp and parking, went to hot refuel and noticed this time they didn’t respond at all. so question is, what is the deal with hitting other bases (same Coalition) to refuel etc. is there something in the mission editor to enable all bases on that map so I can stop and re arm and re fuel so I don’t have to fly all the way back to Nellis?

On the dmt, I don’t ever make it to the “tv” mode, it only says ins top left, yet in multiple videos online there’s a tv mode…I’ve tried all the sensor select buttons etc to no avail, just switches to FLIR..dmt switch is on, I get an image…just no “tv” mode..am I missing something?

Ok so, that is exactly how I have installed it, yet when I select the mission it says module needed 476th range targets or something to that effect. I’m clearly missing something. Also, when I go to the modules menu under “installed” I DO see it there so DCS is recognizing it at least and the green slider is selected as well (to activate the module)

hey guys, trying to install this NTTR Mission: Public Release (476vfightergroup.com) ive put all folder in place including the weapons objects but it still says it need this module to run. unfortunately there are literally NO instruction or readme file for this mod...so how in the heck do i install this?

ANY ideas? Should I be doing this in the main game folder or the saved games location?

damn, I tried this but it didnt do a thing..im trying to have the "Default" Livery with no covers or anything, just the empty plane with no pilot..only thing i can get is the AI "uncontrolled" with all the engine covers etc. Added exactly that and nothing. any chance someone would be willing to try a LUA to make this work for me? UPDATE...ok I noticed that it does exactly what I wanted, no pilot (but also no covers) but it only shows in the mission editor when I select the "livery"..when I load a flight, pilots back in the cockpit no matter what livery i selected...what am I missing?

Had somebody do this for me with the F18 and was hoping it was possible for the harrier “default” paint scheme to have a livery selection without the pilot in external view..or can I add a line to a LUA file or something to make it so that I can select that livery without the pilot?

awsome, thanks for the insight guys! trying to get a feel for a typical sortie on deployment in a harrier. was wondering if they bounced around between carrier and land bases on deployment too or if theyre bound to the carrier like the F18 Guys. Thanks again for all the insight!

So I just upgraded to the Echo 19 sounds mod and I must say, I like it..however, not a fan of the sonic boom sound, i honestly like the stock sound better (it’s way louder and actually makes ya jump lol). Is there a way to revert back to the original sonic boom sound but keep the rest of echo 19 intact? I don’t want to get rid of it because it works wonders for the Harrier

Just wondering, I’ve tried to google this stuff but it seems there next to no information out there, so I figured I’d ask a couple questions here and see if anyone can shed light… first, I’ve got the supercarrier, however it seems in the real world the AV8 never operates off a Nimitz class supercarrier. Is this a fact and is it so unrealistic in DCS to operate off the supercarrier or do they ONLY use the amphibious type carriers? Also, where are real world harriers usually stationed anyway? second is unrelated to DCS but rather a question, how common is it for an F18 pilot in the Navy to transition to the Marine corps Harrier? I’ve heard of pilots changing branches etc but are harriers marine corps only?

I cant seem to get any of this to work. How exactly do I set up the ILS Frequency in the mission editor or is it always 11 (as in DCS YouTube tutorials). I dial in 336 for the adf and it shows acls1 after the test but I don’t get any glide slope indications or anything

well aside from the obvious like their pajamas being on the boat, i was just curious if say off the coast of a us base they would ever land at the base, refuel and head back to the boat...or do any sort of maneuvers that incorporated a pit stop at a land base.

In the real world, do F18 pilots on carrier deployment ever land at a land base, then fly back to the boat or do they ALWAYS return to the boat every single hop?

Awsome! Thank you!! Only thing I need to know is, how exactly do I make the last waypoint trigger then to land lol? Only thing I’ve figured out is rtb on bingo but maybe I’m overlooking it, haven’t seen that command though.

Hey all, quick simple question…is there a way to make ai aircraft land at a specific time? I honestly have searched here as well as YouTube, I’m probably missing it but just figured I’d ask, I’d like to make ai aircraft land at say :1425 exactly..is this possible? Only way I have found is to start a mission with them in the air and set their fuel low and make them rtb on bingo fuel which is a crap shoot, they may fly around for a bit before they land. What am I missing?

Hey, sorry, been crazy busy with work..I will absolutely send it to you as soon as I can get to the computer.
