Ahhhh. So the new fuze menu changed that? Holy that was implemented a while back, months ago! I'm just noticing now... so I was probably able to change the codes mid flight before the new menu then huh. I just have to unlearn some bad habits now with new changes then I guess! Thanks!

I guess I'm super confused because I am pretty sure, though not 100% (because it's been a while), that I have changed laser codes in the air for the weapons and LSR and have had successful impacts with the F/A-18C. The F-16 for sure does not allow code changes in flight for the ordnance as they have to be changed manually on the ground. Forgive my tone here, but if you can't change weapon codes in the air in the F/A-18C then why is the option there on the stores page? I have attached a track. Thank you everyone for your input! Code Test.trk

I am flying in Afghanistan the only code that works with the ATFLIR on the left cheek is 1688. Any other code the rounds (500lb LGB) are impacting about 100 meters off the target. The only other laser codes I've tried so far are 1686 and 1687, both are a no go. A friend and I also tried to buddy lase for one another with 1686 and 1687 and same issue, rounds impact off the target. I placed a JTAC on the ground lasing targets with 1686 and the LST won't even pick up the laser. Haven't tried the JTAC on 1688 yet, but will here soon. So far the only code that works in Afghanistan is 1688. Haven't tried any other maps yet either so I cannot speak to those. Thanks!

Hi! The "Flashlight Color - Toggle Green/White" doesn't change the flashlight to green. It only stays white. Thanks!

That would be a good fix also. Even scrolling with the mouse on the dial is way too fast/coarse, I agree.

I've noticed this too. RMB will flip switches on in one A/C but then it flip the same switch off in another. Then in some A/C you can click on a 3x way switch with the RMB and it will cycle all the settings so it doesn't matter if you RMB click or LMB click as long as you just click a lot but in another A/C the switch will only switch on or one direction and stop then you have to LMB to turn the switch off or flip it the opposite direction (I really like this). There is also an issue with dials, IMO. In most of the modules the scroll wheel will turn things up in value, and reverse scroll will turn them down (which I really like). Then the F4U-1D came out and you can't move any dials at all (like the trim) with the mouse scroll, you have to click and drag to get them to move in value. There seems to be no standard across all A/C, which also makes sense to me because ED does their modules differently than say a 3rd party module and vise versa, but it can be kind of frustrating if you are going for muscle memory.

Hi! I should have said the gain OSB rocker button next to the OSBs on the MFD. It worked in GM and SEA mode so I guess it was a big assumption on my part that it just wasn't working on GMT mode when the gain slider wouldn't move when trying to make an adjustment. Thank you for clearing that up for me! I appreciate it! Side note. I am grateful for all that you guys do. This is a great simulator (my favorite) and I love that you guys have correspondence with/and have a place available for us to ask questions and report bugs etc. I greatly appreciate that. Have a good day!

Gain switch works in GM and SEA A-G radar mode. Does not work in GMT mode. Thanks!

I 100% get that it isn't realistic BUT it's already been done for a few other aircraft regardless of their realism. It's really only for convenience because I can never get it back to default trim after I've used it. I have about 11 aircraft but the one listed below are the only ones that have a trim reset. A-10C II - "Trim: Reset" AH-64D - "Trim - RESET to default" P-51 - "Trimmers Reset" TF-47 - "Trimmers Reset"

Hey guys, I would like to request a button binding to automatically reset the trim, trim reset button. I know there are wheels to do this, and I know how to use them, my issue is that I can never get the (expletive) things 100% returned to zero. After making a trim adjustment, from that point in the flight or the next flight after I land the A/C will be in a constant state of roll to the left or right. I can never get it right on the money, back to zero, for some reason. So to make sure this never happens I just end up just never trimming at all in the F-16... even when I've just dropped a bomb on one wing which sets off the weight and balance and where trim is definitely needed. Some of the other aircraft have this same binding option so just wanted to see if it can be added to this aircraft as well. Also wanted to see if there's a possibility to add an ejection seat arm button binding to also match the other A/C like the F/A-18C? Thank you for your time!

Thanks man, I appreciate you. Have a good day!

First off, forgive my frustration. I spent 8 years in the military so I understand the "this is how it's always been" or "this is just how we do things" and to both of those statements, and even more not even mentioned, I've always asked WHY?! They never liked it, but neither did I, so I never stopped asking. I always hated the "just shut up and do your job" because I felt it ends the conversation and cuts off all opportunity for further learning and expanding for all parties involved. But I do understand why that is absolutely necessary sometimes as well. Can't have someone asking a million questions when SHTF and you need to act fast. Not to get too deep, but I think this bleeds into a bigger societal issue as well. We are often told to shut up and just go with the status quo. I don't like that anymore so I have to ask why. I should have been more clear before. I like learning and knowing all aspects of everything, especially everything related to flight and this sim has helped me learn a lot of things. When I see something in it that confuses me in DCS I have to ask someone - is it a bug, is it a real world issue, is it operator error (me - which a lot of times it is), or is it an oversight? I know most people just want to hop in the sim and fly and don't care one way or another, which is fine, but I need to know for some reason. Different strokes for different folks I suppose. Thank you for taking your time and effort to explain this all. I greatly appreciate it. Much respect. Thank you for your service as well!

I read and understood what you said, so you don't have to patronize me. If this interaction is upsetting you then you don't have to respond. You can ignore this completely and go about your day doing other things. I have a issue that I would like to learn more about it all. So my question to all of this is WHY. WHY can you only get FULL fuel if you are under 4,000lbs, WHY? What if a pilot IRL takes a tank thinking he or she will need it but learns while flying that it isn't needed/required? What if he/she can't jettison the tank (civilian population or malfunction)? What if they don't (or aren't able to) burn ALL of the fuel? If a pilot lands in real life with 4,100lbs (h3ll, let's call it 4,001lbs even) and has to rearm and refuel quickly to get back on mission (they don't have time to ground jettison the center tank and add a new one), in real life again, does the crew tell them "f@ck you, you didn't land with under 4,000lbs so we aren't going to fill that center tank completely or at all, you get your ass back up there" even though the next flight might require 8,500lbs of fuel (make up number, whatever). Is there a limitation with the tanks mechanically so to speak. Is this an actual real life restriction/constraint/limitation with the external fuel tanks (seems funny to me if it is)? I just want to know WHY this is happening. Was designed that way in the game intentionally or on accident? Is it was a bug? Is that how they do it IRL (maybe they do tell the pilot f@ck you, who knows)? I just want to know WHY. By the way it does work when you are under 4,000lbs and you do get topped off.... but WHY?

Gotcha. Thank you. Weird how it deletes them Because what if someone else ever needs the file, but I guess it frees up space.

Oh man, this might work. I had to zip the file so let me know if anyone can see it or not. I will try to get a smaller flight/track file later on if I am able to. 4YA_SA_PVE_V2.106[03_MAR_BKN]-20250812-081202.7z

Just tried it again - landed with 4,500 lbs of fuel, opened the AR door immediately after landing, taxied to parking spot, rearm and refuel with center tank connected still, 8,600lbs of fuel total. Still not completely full for some reason. I'm on the Falklands, if that matters. ahhh thank you so much, appreciate the help. If I remove them, will it remove them from the posts/comments I've already made on the threads? (im not sure what its called, forgive my ignorance)

I just did it a second ago. Landed with center tank attached. 6,800lbs of fuel left yet. Opened AR door, called for refuel, center tank still attached, 7,300lbs of fuel. Unless it takes more time to depressurize the tank. I do it right before rearming. Unless it takes more time then I will start opening the AR door as soon as I land and start taxiing to a parking spot. Let me give that a try quick.

Idk, it's still kinda wonky. With an open fuel door and center tank only still, it sometimes it fills the tank entirely (9,000lbs-ish total), other times it only fills it a portion (7,800lbs-ish total). 7,200 is full fuel without external tanks. I have a trackfile, but it's too large and I can't upload anything over 1.64MB for some reason. Anyone know how I can attach this track file to actually be show what's happening? Thank you in advance!

Thank you guys! That is all. Have a great day!

Thank you everyone for all of your input. I greatly appreciate it! I couldn't figure it out for the life of me haha

Well what the heck. I guess it wasn't a bug. I looked all over in the manual but this is all I found on page 65, I guess I never added 2 and 2 together as it wasn't mentioned in the rearm and refueling page specifically. Thanks a lot man, I appreciate you! NOT A BUG. Operator error!

I'll do the best I can to describe this since I don't have any screenshots, video or data. I can only speak for the center tank because that's all I've used. In the F/A-18C, you can take off, burn the center drop tank, land with it still attached, rearm and refuel and it will put a full, fresh, tank on the A/C so you have full fuel when you take off again. If you do this exact same procedure in the F-16C you will NOT get a fresh center tank it will be empty. You either have to remove the tank in the rearm and refuel menu then add it again in the rearm and refuel menu (so you have to rearm and refuel twice every time) -OR- you MUST jettison the tank in flight. It will NOT give you a fresh, full, tank when you rearm and refuel with it attached from the previous flight even though the rearm and refuel page shows a center fuel tank attached. It will be empty. I have tested this many times and it's like clock work. 100% every single time. Like I said I have not tested this with the wing tanks though. Thanks!

Hi! So not to sound ungrateful, but I saw that you guys completely removed and replaced everything for the Litening Pod with the Sniper pod in the manual, instead of just adding the ATP. The Litening Pod doesn't even exist in the manual anymore. Why not just add them both so you can study either one depending on which one you would like to use? To have them both available for reference etc. Thanks!

You also need to consider pilot skill. Just because you can fly it doesn't mean you can do it well or even know and can manage all the systems on board. I get shot down in the F-16 ALL the time, by cold war era jets no less.

What are these? Why are these? And how can we make them go away forever? They have only ever happened in multiplayer for me. It was very spotty in the past, but this last update made the game unplayable in multiplayer. I join a server, startup up, take off, wheels up, then the game crashes. Of the 9-10 servers I've flown tonight, 100% of them have crashed and all with the same error and it makes the game unplayable. Edit: I would attach the track files, but for some reason I can only add 1.8MB and every file is larger than that... Thank you for your time and consideration in advance.
