I do have the same problem since last update. The plane is practically unusable in A/A. Hopefully they are going to fix it soon.

Not working at all for me. Ministick by far too fast. Buttons by far too slow. Is there a way to master at least the buttons speed waiting for the Ministick patch? I have the Hotas Warthog. Thanks.

Yeah. Procedures and reliability. Procedures are well memorized and works well with rockets, manual pip diving, pop ups, loft, labs but NOT with auto and manual dive bombing. In auto the bombs NEVER drops, in manual they do but the pipper wont disapper so I can only guess when it is time to drop with poor accuracy of course. After hundreds of attempts, I got the impression that the electr.caging is not working at all and that, for me at least, it always remains caged even if I stop keeping it pressed. In the manual it is written : ...press and hold TAB (in reality in my keyboard is [\] whereas in Options/Controls it is [,]!!!). Make sure that the reticle is FIXED on the reflector (gunsight is caged) ... Now, the reticle is never FIXED and there is no appreciable difference between caged and uncaged. Is that an error in the manual or something they still have to work on to make it works? All that said, it is difficult not to agree with Tuco. The F86 seems to be unreasonably inaccurate and unreliable. It maybe really was like that, who knows, but to play with it it's a bit too much of a pain. I wonder if there could be a turn around solution by attempting a change in some configuration files? But where and how? Happy new year to all of you.

No way. Ranging dial goes up to 27 when I switch on the mech radar and there it stays. Sometimes during the dive it suddenly goes up to the upper limit and again there it stays. To me it should adjust according to target distance but il simply does not move. There maybe is something to switch on or off but where ?

Oh yeah. It does make sense. I'll give a try and will report. Thanks a lot.

Nice video. I retried imitating as much as possible what you did. Only the dive speed could not be seen in your video but I tried to leave it as much constant as possible (around 250 to 300 kt) with no evail. Not a single release in 7 attempts! The setup was: selector to bomb, 1st switch to auto, 2nd switch to left, gun-missile sel. to guns, radar mech,open, roll-in with elect.caging pressed than released when pipper on target, bomb release button kept pressed, pipper kept steady on target. Someone else had the same problem but I dont know whether and how they solved it.

Just let me add I tried by pressing the \ button on the keyboard instead of the button on the throttle but nothing changed. I ran 15 bomb runs in a row both auto and manual, from altitude 7000 to 15000 ft with roll ins and some without roll in (straight pull down) and dive angle 30 to 50°. Only once the reticle disappeared and the bombs fall and that was during a straight pass dive. The pipper was always normally reasonably steady on the spot during the dive. Very frustrating indeed! My options are over (the manual does not help much)!

I am very confused. There is no way I can get manual or auto mode works. The reticles will not disappears. Only occasionally (one out of ten) they work but I cannot figure out why. I set up and fly according to the indications in your video but nothing happens. The electric caging is set on the throttle of my Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog. I can only imagine that I am doing something wrong with the dive parameters (I tried them all with no luck) or that the caging/uncaging needs something else than pressing the button (by the way, the manuals says TAB but in reality it is not). Any suggestions? Thanks.

Too much smoke and cockpit dirt. I'd welcome a correction.

Thanks Sobek. It worked just fine!

I am totally unable to change the default X52 assignments. I have reinstalled the Sim a couple of times with no success. In particular, I am trying to clear the SLIDER1 assignment for 'both throttles' in X52 and when I select JOYZ and click OK I get the enclosed error message. The same happens with all the other default assignments as well. Any suggestion? Thanks. CropperCapture[1].bmp
