  1. Joy2key only needs two presses to get the job done. Chain sequence, chain events lets you program the first sequence chain function (example button 12... UP position) to Open the guard, the second sequenc event will flip the switch. Since joy2key sees the on/off condition of the switch as two different buttons each position can have up to four chain, sequence events when activated. Your down position would be button 13, down posion of button and you just tell it to flip the guard switch down. In the P-47 to arm one bomb takes three different functions to arm a bomb. One one switch I'll get the ACTIVE UP button 12, to seq. 1- flip up guard, seq. 2- flip up switch, on the front Bomb panel, seq. 3- pull up the bomb arm lever on the left rear onsole up. Bomb Armed..... drop bomb...... DEACTVATE DOWN button 13, seq. 1- flips down the guard, seq. 2 lowers the arm lever. I use this to arm Left bomb, Right bomb and Belly Station. Easy Peasy...

  2. Un-bind your throttles and use each lever for its specific engine. If you yaw to the left, bump the left throttle a bit more, and vice versa if you yaw right. Its kind of like using a T-handle stearing device. This works for taxi,, and take-off runs. You won't need to use the over sensitive breaks. There is a thread somewhere on how to adjust curves to slow down the sudden locking of the breaks. Good luck
  3. I found un-binding my TM Warthog throttles, and using each lever individually for each engine, its much easier to keep it straight on the runway. If I yaw to the left, increase the left throttle a bit and she straightens out. And vice versa...... once airborne, rebind your throttles if you wish.
  4. The ALR-67 is connected to the Quad Reciever, the Quad receiver is connected to four antennas, two in each wingtip. One on the leading edge one on the trailing edge, that cover 360⁰. The Quad Reciever is basically a signal multiplexer that takes those received RF signal and sorts them to range and bearing to your plane in real-time space. The ALR-67's threat library tells you what type of threat it is and it's priority. Think of the RWR indicator as a moving map display with you in the center. It's constantly moving in relation to yor position in the battle space. AT1(AW/SW) USN ret.... 1977-1997... DECM technician W/C 64C.
  5. Put it on your AV exemption list.... in fact put all your DCS stuff, DCS game folder, Saved Games folder, TIR, SRS, and any Joystick programs...
  6. Don't forget about Spuds video on making all your game and related folders exempt in your preferred AV. https://youtu.be/JshLOxeX3dM?si=7l4NAvwcCjvgTn0x
  7. Keep the ball in the middle of the slip indicator with rudder control. Keep your turn speed around 270 mph..... Don't be too poor to pay attention to your instruments.
  8. For those of you who may be interested... You can find them on eBay... Link I've seen some people wanting to know if there was a solution to the wiggle and weakness of the shaft, and some pretty interesting solutions. I have one and it works great. On your stick, remove one set screw at a time and put some Loctite on it, and screw it back in. That way they won't back out, and not too much, you might want to replace a switch in the future. Good Luck
  9. Get one of these joystick collars, can't remember where I found it... Temu, eBay, or Reddit... two pieces held together with four magnets, you could print your own if you measure it. It will also stop the over-aggressive from snapping their stick. Put Loctite on the Allen screws and tighten them, they will stay that way. Edit: Found it on eBay... here's the LINK
  10. Do you plan on including the TM Viper TQS and the Viper Panel templates? Thanks, Hoss
  11. You are talking about the AN/ALR-67.... it replaced the AN/ALR-45/50 and 45F... the AN/ALR-45F could have its Threat Library updated via satellite. We got the new Program and programmed EEPROMs. Then the 67 came out... but it was exclusively an F/A-18 RWR. What you are talking about is urban legend..... The DLQ-3 was an early example of of the ALQ-167 https://man.fas.org/dod-101/sys/ac/equip/an-alq-167.htm I did not work on the ALQ-100s, they went in F-14s. The ALQ-126A was what I worked on most. It covered Cold War era early SAMs, I made the last WESTPAC with the A-7s in VA-94. The Hornets, had the ALQ-126B. The Alphas had old bandpass crystal detectors, old TWTs.... The ALQ-126B used solid state detectors, Solid State Low Band Input Amp instead of the TWT. There were no longer upper and lower deck inter connect cables. There was an interconnect at the rear that mated upper and lower decks. There is always a problem of repair parts becoming obsolete and hard to requisition. And yes, the freq. ranges got higher, along with updated deception techniques.
  12. AN/ALQ-167..... No.... I did not... I did however work on the AN/DLQ-3B/C which was the precursor... that was in 1988, during Operation Preying Mantis.. they were programmed to deceive the Iranian F-14, F-4 RADARS... The ALQ-126 would not respond to RADARS, not in the Threat Library... They were never used as far as I know... not on our cruise anyway... I was in VA-94...
  13. Yes, the Intruder and Prowler could carry two 126s.... but the Prowler just carried weights in both stations.... the Intruder carried weights in the Turtle back.... behind the cockpit.... and the 126s in what I remember calling the dog house. Qs weighed 199 lbs.
