  1. It was indeed about the rotor disk proper. But the answer is appreciated too! Do you think the rearwards tilt of the rotor disk (relative to the ground) is related to this?
  2. Attached is the Ka-50 hovering on a calm, no-wind day and the rotor blade disk seems to be tilting at approximately 3-5 degrees. What could be causing this *much* tilt?
  3. Hello all! The F1's engine is scheduled to go to overspeed mode (~8,900 RPM) once it hits Mach 1.4 and afterburner should not be disengaged above this mach number. What is the technical reason behind both the overspeed mode and the A/B limit?
  4. As titled. When two players are in the same aircraft, either player in either cockpit using HRM would cause the player in the other cockpit to see their game performance drop rapidly, eventually leading to a freeze or a DCS crash. The player using HRM however appears to not suffer from any performance issues (unless, of course, their pilot's client crashes and they are forcibly returned to spectators). This happened to me when I was using the multithreaded client. Exiting HRM mode before the other client crashes would restore performance for the other client. Freezing the HRM image however does not help. Logs zip is attached but it appears to be corrupted. dcs.log-20230702-073444.zip
  5. Awesome. Are there plans to include this (the orange tape being the time-of-flight indicator) into the manual in the future?
  6. When using air-to-air missiles and locking a target with the radar, does the right-hand (orange-colored) tape signify time-of-flight? In my experience using the S350F and the R.530 it appears to be stuck on approximately +440 and +250 until I reach the employment envelope (green light on the HUD), and then starts counting down. Screenshots attached, head-on against Il-76, approximately Mach 1.5 closure rate. Can provide a track if needed.
  7. As titled. As of version 38947 (latest Open Beta) pressing in the MKR + TP pushbutton enables intercom with the ground crew. Is this also actual behavior on the real jet, I wonder?
  8. This makes a lot of sense, appreciated. Any source where I may look up on the specific nomenclature? Appreciate this too.
  9. As titled. When one hooks a symbol on the TAD an alphanumeric string appears in the lower-left next to OSB 16, such as "G2A4B+R" in the first attachment (itself a snippet from page 369 of the A-10C II manual), or "F1433" in the pictur below (circled).Do these strings carry any meaning?null
  10. We now have AAR capability in the EE (yay and thank you Aerges!), but the fuel transfer indicators ("fuel tank lights") bother me. When one toggles the trasfer/filling switch to the filling position (front) and complete the AAR in the EE's refueling mission, it appears that all the indicators for the internal tanks light up, but not the three unlabeled lights (which I suppose stand for external tanks). Is there a reason to this? Screenshot attached. null
  11. Much appreciated! Thank you! The manuals I found online seemed to be some kind of online reader pages manually joined-together before the creator hit their limit.. I feel that pain.
  12. Hello. As titled - what does mode CM for the Heading and Vertical Reference System do? Is it correct that mode GM is "Gyro-Magnetic" (or its French equivalent) and Sec. is "Secours" (in this context "Backup")? Thanks!
  13. I would guess (purely from the word) that РАБ would roughly mean "(normal) operation"... This is great info, much appreciated!
  14. Alternatively, use the DISS for a makeshift one-waypoint navigation system... I actually don't know what this system is used for IRL. Picture attached.
  15. I'm not sure if I'm about to necropost (if I did then sorry) but: Provide power to the aircraft (I only tested with engines running but the APU alone should be suffice?), go to TSD-UTIL. Reset both INUs. Go back to the TSD, there should be a white "PSN" on the bottom left and a "HDG" above it. Selecting "PSN" changes it to "POSITION" and selecting it again boxes it. Enter the MGRS coordinates (with 4 easting/northing digits each, so 8 digits following the letters) and hit enter. "POSITION" would become "UPT" (update). Hit the button to update ownship position. Wait for ~6? minutes and alignment would complete, but the position confidence doesn't seem to turn green at all. The manual for the Apache states that we should enter the position before "HDG" is removed (if it is removed we need to reset both INUs and enter the position again within a minute), but "HDG" is removed a bit too fast imo, I am not sure if this has any impact on alignment quality though..
  16. Imagine if it had a Jester-like interaction menu and whenever you give an order the entire plane replies with "No can do"...
  17. In DCS it doesn't even launch until it tracks a laser iirc. So it would have to see the target first.
  18. Hello. I've been looking around the cockpits in various Soviet/Russian aircraft. They all seem to be carrying some kind of (maybe even the same model?) of SRO transponder with four different modes: АВТ (auto?), КД ("KD", in the English Hind cockpit this translates to "CA"), ±15 and КП ("KP", translated to "CS"). Is there any public information on what the four modes do or how do they differ from one another? Thanks!
  19. This has been my workaround as well. Seems that switching directly to BZ would kill the radar for me... but going from center to TL would work.
  20. When it first came to my attention I was at treetop level chasing down an AI flogger... and the track I attached should say I'm at 5000m AGL, but I wasn't seeing the noise. Like I said, I was assuming that the visual would be always present (since it happens on 7km/60km RWS regardless of altitude) and thus could be used as an indicator for radar emission... but I could be wrong.
  21. Hello. I'm operating under the assumption that whenever the radar is working we as pilots would see random noise in the radar scope. When attempting to lock targets in a close combat mode (TL or BZ) sometimes the radar would only show the scan zone markers but not the noise - nor would it acquire a lock on a target within the scan zone (7km in front of the aircraft). This is inconsistent however, as the modes would sometimes work (showing the noise and then acquiring a lock) for no obvious reason. Track is attached, tail pursuit against an Il-76. TL BZ.trk
