  1. Hey there guys, So inside of the Axis Command, the numbers at the bottom originally start off as In 0 & Out 0 Making sure that the Axis Tune is for the left wheel break, when I push on the left toe break and hold it down: The Red Dot slides down and right on the axis line, and the numerical values change to In 62 & Out -62, Release the left toe break and it springs back: The Red Dot more or less springs back to center on the axis line, and the numerical values change to In 51 & Out -52 Switching cells to the right wheel break, the bottom numbers originally start off as In 0 & Out 0 Push on the right toe break and hold it down: The Red Dot slides down and right on the axis line, and the numerical values change to In 59 & Out -60, Release the right toe break and it springs back: The Red Dot more or less springs back to center on the axis line, and the numerical values change to In 48 & Out -49 And there are no other key presses bound to those two control settings.
  2. Thank you for your help, I sincerely do! So inside the DCS Game, under the Options commands? - As an Axis Command, under the column for “Flight Control Rudder”, alphabetically down towards the bottom is “Wheel Break”, and there is “Wheel Break Left” as well as “Wheel Break Right”. - “Wheel Break” is currently unassigned, the cell is empty. - those two cells left and right are currently assigned as Joy X for left and Joy Y for the right break. - within the Axis Tune Panel for each I have “Slider” checked as well as “Invert” checked. Try to move forward and unfortunately the breaks are constantly on. -within the Axis Tune Panel with “Slider” checked and “Invert” unchecked. Try to move forward and unfortunately the breaks are still constantly on. Ugh! Just not figuring it out!
  3. Does anyone know how to use this app? In DCS, the breaks are always applied; it basically requires that I push into afterburner to taxi around and after landing on the carrier and stretching out the arresting wire, it will not pull the Hornet backwards to release the hook. I own the RX Viper version 2 (I believe) the rudder pedals are vintage July 2020. Downloaded the calibration software from the website for V2 version but not sure what the heck is the proper way to utilize it.
  4. Based upon my test drive, the R/BL Mode seems to work just fine now.
  5. Within todays DCS Updates, For the F/A-18C: Fixed: Cannot designate with the A/G radar Did this by chance repair the Harpoon issue with the SEA Mode on the A/G Radar?
  6. Keep your eyes in the jet, on your roll indicator and your Velocity Vector until you are half way around the final Base Turn. No glancing back to the boat until 1/2 way around, then back to your instruments. You seek consistency in both your horizontal alignment with the boat, as well as your vertical alignment so that you can descend at the ideal glide slope to the wires. Practice, practice, practice! I sent you a PM with some drills that may help.
  7. I upgraded to an extended length Foxx Mount: https://foxxmount.com/collections/frontpage/products/desk-mount-beam-assembly which is basically a Monstertech and I also went after market and purchased an extension to get the handle back up to where my forearm rests on my thigh along with stiffer springs. I like it!
  8. In the F/A-18 Hornet, the windscreen has a display, the HUD - Head Up Display. Then there are two Digital Display Indicators (DDI), left and right display screens if you will, and they are both black and white screens. Then there is another, the Advanced Multipurpose Color Display (AMPCD) lower in the center in front of the flight stick. The AMPCD is commonly referred to as just the MPCD; it is the only one that has color.
  9. CAG-51 is Recruiting link: http://cag-51.org Every Saturday we fly a different custom designed mission that a squadron member would create. We understand our pilots skill levels and create a sortie for everyone. The missions tend to be team events, where if one particular flight group fails; well, that might make it very difficult for other flight groups to be successful! This past week, it was a bit atypical as we didn’t have a CAP flight assigned to protecting the rest of the squadron against enemy air, we didn’t have a SEAD flight assigned to SAM sites, and we didn’t necessarily even have a whole bunch of CAS, although we did have one brave Apache Pilot who decided he was going to battle the storm! Scenario for the Mission was that China had used a hurricane as cover to establish a beachhead on Taiwan. CAG-51 was the fast response team assigned to prosecute an attack on that landing force. Because of the weather, the Chinese did not have fighter aircraft up, and given they had just set down in Taiwan, they hadn’t yet time to establish SAMs with the exception of AAA w/ a Fire Can radar. Regardless of conditions, we had to get in quick with a strike package prior to them establishing what might have been an impenetrable surface to air system. Strike package of eight Hornets departed an aircraft carrier. Prior to departure, the carrier had taken a lightning strike and fueling at the ship was inoperable; as we such depart the ship with what was left in our jet from the last flight (5,000#) and had about a 100 mile flight to the tanker. A flight of Vipers were to come out of a neighboring island paralleling the naval strike package, but due to a Mission Editor error, it didn’t turn out right for those folks, Sorry Uzi! Our F-16 guys ended up loading onto a separate server and flew a different mission, not filmed here. So, a Hurricane! We had 55 kts at the deck of the carrier, unknown what wind speed was at elevation but fair to say 100kts or more. Just trying to make a Marshall Stack turn at a rendezvous waypoint was difficult. It was a night strike, in the dark, in the clouds, in the rain, …, somehow we had to aerial refuel, …, as it turns out, even 1,000 lb JDAMs have a significant wind drift, …, more refueling, ... and then a pitching deck for a Case III, … Victory; 5 of the 8 Hornets made it home w/ their jet - sorry Mac, your landing in this video does not count as a success. This one was more about the difficulty of flying, as opposed to the technical deployment of weapons; enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_wkoDBRu_k
