Look guys, I only made this post as a warning about this individual. Hindsight is 20/20, but you don't receive it until after you mess up. We've all done it whether we admit it or not. Take this post for how it was intended, to protect you.... from those who would take advantage of our community. Let's be civil with each other here in the forums, and flame each others tail in the air. MODS..........I would ask a moderator to lock this thread, so it's information only.

Does anyone in the community have and use one of these monitors in their set-up?

It's the same with the WWII birds too, and not just sound. They need to have people functionally check, that planes are not broken with each update. In their rush to please the masses, they get the opposite effect for the problems it always causes. Have volunteers at the Alpha level functionally check mechanicals are not broken on the aircraft assigned to them. That way our go-to rides are not broken, because of poor timetables. Once we go to "one public release", they will have to do this at the new beta level. before we ever see it. I get the sneaky suspicion they have no G.A.S. in the DCS tank for stuff that's not the hot ticket at the time. BOHICA JMTCW

I'm hoping 1C does a shore-based Marine F9F, like their Corsairs... but this looks very nice. Fingers crossed it's as good and as popular as the A-4E-C free mod. Keep at it. loving this... if only the Essex carrier was done, but that's the F4U developers too, isn't it?

I've posted this on DCS Facebook pages, but we have a scammer out there on FB selling a WW Super Taurus and PTO/PCR panels last Friday. I negotiated for just the Throttle, agreed on $360.00 to include shipping, I payed through PayPal, showed him a screenshot of the completed transaction. He told me he would ship USPS and he would PM or email me the Tracking number. Seven days later... bumpkis... Today I'm on FB looking at the DCS pages, and there he is again selling the throttle I bought off him. So I PM'd him and his memory was foggy, until I showed my bank payed PayPal the $360 I sent him.... now he's broke and needs more money to ship and insure it. From his (Niels Dan) FB page, lives a whole lot better than I do. I hope someone says they want it, ask him where he lives, it WILL be somewhere in Michigan, tell him you do too, and that you will come pick it up for cash. There will be a Ninja flash and smoke.... and crickets. So buyer beware

Looking for someone to help me out here. I've deleted SimAppPro, and Vjoy from my drive, ran clean-ups and reg-edits, looked in the game, and saved games for every instance of joystick files for every plane in the game. but the damn Vjoy keeps showing up in the settings columns no matter how many things I delete from the game Thanks

HOTAS/HOSAS/SIMPIT Discord...... all kinds of 3D printed stuff for all the HOTAS mfgs. That's where I found different ones for my TMWH throttle. I have the reversible OEM part and two other models. If you are doing the TM make sure to recalibrate it after instalation. TM has software for it.

LOL, have you not been on a carrier after an SRA? We go to sea and make sure stuff we fixed, or added works as advertised. High speed rudder drills are part of it, we were told to take para-cord and tie our chairs to the desk (AIMD/IM1/QA) in our office. Of course we didn't, BMoW would call out "All hands Take a brace.... heel to port/starboard" we would lift our feet off the deck and either roll to port or starboard and pile up against the bulkhead..... God... last time I did that was around 1995...... Point is, the flight and hangar decks were always empty.

The Deltasim upgrade is definitely worth it. On WWII birds with hand brakes... Spit, Mossie, La-5, I bind the Slew switch to the brake axis and give it a curve of 50, and Saturation of 50.. and DZ of 08... results may vary....but it's easy to develop muscle memory with it. Up/down brakes, L/R zoom.

The canopy Open/Close works w/o the mod, but the Warm/Cold air levers do not. If you fly at altitude you need to adjust those. So you will need the Warm/Cold air lever MOD for those. I would keep both in your MOD folder and activate, deactivate it when updates render it SNAFU.

Which view file specifically? file path? I'm using the open beta, download version. give me the file name path so I make sure the one I send you is the same.

Go to the File downloads on the DCS site, go to the P-51 section, and download Dawger's P-51 Closing Canopy fix..... Link Also, get this one.... Ram Air, Carb Air fix.

Depending on the A-7E or A-6E we get, the RWR display did not have alphanumeric or diamonds, squares... It was strobes, Solid lines for SAMs, ______________ Dash lines for AAA ..............., dashed lines for A/A missiles ___ ___ ___ and then airborne gun RADAR was solid and dots.. __ . __ . __ But like most planes on here, they will give you an old plane with the latest Avionics suite in it. And they did upgrade to the newer Alphanumeric symbols in the old A-7E. I made the last West Coast cruise on the Enterprise with VA-94 with A-7Es in 1988.

Your RWR can detect anything between .5 -16Ghz or 18Ghz for new systems. If it does not know what it is, it will classify it as UNK and display it that way, and will help your Deception repeater to to use Sine Wave Modulation techniques for systems it can't positively identify The AN/ALR-45Fs Threat Library memory chip, was a programmable PROM, we would get new Threat Data from the Pentagon or wherever.. we could take it (floppy) and load it into a chip programmer, and with those PROMS update the threat library. They had plug ins for the DIP style PROMS, we removed the plug in and hard soldered them in to the card. You don't use plug in chips on a carrier aircraft.. LOL. The AN/ALR-67 was build by default to update the Library PROM easily. We didn't even need to remove the chip, it's a EEPROM. and use ultraviolet light to erase it. We did the same with the FCES RPYC CMT card when I worked for Boeing's ARF at NAS Lemoore.

JB WELD..... man's best friend.... forget dogs.....

I have the AVA base, it is really nice compared to the WH. It does fit the WH base table mount. If you are worried the shaft on the stick might break get the 3D printed collar off ebay. With some of the other bases you either need an adapter, or you remove two screws from either the WH stick, or the base connector. Can't remember which.

Since LOMAC first came out.

I made three WESTPACs on the Connie 78-82 with VF-211, and VF-24. And VA-146, VA-147 in A-7s, VA-165s A-6s, and VFP-63 RF-8s. My Balut eating, AFTA class leader from NATTC, Millington, TN. was in VF-211. Saw him again years later on the Lincoln, in VF-114, Aardvark, and VF-213 Blacklions were their sister squadron. I was Ships company AIMD/IM1/QA. LOL, . Those were the first three of the seven WESTPACs on three carriers. And a lot of water under the keel ago..... AT1(AW/SW) USN ret. 1977-1997

They make a plate that works for it, did you email them? I got it for the Viper Panel.

I don't know anything about the F-15 RADAR. But I would imagine it needs a Doppler mode to see the weather. Does it have a Doppler Mode?

Still waiting on my Me-262.....

It depends on its Duty Cycle........... Peak- and Average Power The energy content of a continuous-wave radar transmission may be easily figured out because the transmitter operates continuously. However, pulsed radar transmitters are switched on and off to provide range timing information with each pulse. The amount of energy in this waveform is important because the maximum range is directly related to the transmitter output power. The more energy the radar system transmits, the greater the target detection range will be. The energy content of the pulse is equal to the peak (maximum) power level of the pulse multiplied by the pulse width. However, meters used to measure power in radar systems do so over a period that is longer than the pulse width. For this reason, pulse-repetition time is included in the power calculations for transmitters. Power measured over such a period is referred to as average power. Duty cycle D = P = τ where: P = average power Pi = pulsed power τ = pulse width Τ = pulse-repetition time PRT The product of pulse width (τ) and pulse-repetition frequency (PRF) as the reciprocal of the pulse period (Τ) in the above formula is called the duty cycle of the radar system. The duty cycle is the fraction of time that a system is in an “active” state. In particular, it is used in the following contexts: Duty cycle is the proportion of time during which a component, device, or system is operated. Suppose a transmitter operates for 1 microsecond and is shut off for 99 microseconds, then is run for 1 microsecond again, and so on. The transmitter runs for one out of 100 microseconds, or 1/100 of the time, and its duty cycle is therefore 1/100, or 1 percent. The duty cycle is used to calculate both the peak power and average power of the radar system. For the performance of radar, an average power has more significance than the pulse power of the transmitter. Since the introduction of intrapulse modulation and pulse compression, there is no longer any proportionality between pulse power and maximum range. The Interference Blanker Unit (IBU) in the Hornet is what controls the TX/RCV time for all RF systems in the Hornet, or their Duty Cycle. Hoss

SARH missiles require tracking radar to acquire the target, and a more narrowly focused illuminator radar to "light up" the target for the missile to lock on to the radar return reflected off the target.[5] The target must remain illuminated for the entire duration of the missile's flight. This could leave the launch aircraft vulnerable to counterattack, as well as give the target's electronic warning systems time to detect the attack and engage countermeasures. Because most SARH missiles require guidance during their entire flight, older radars are limited to one target per radar emitter at a time. The F/A-18's AN/ALQ-126 Deception Repeater has a circuit card in it called a Pulse Density Demodulator. It looks at a specific area (window) of the received TTR (target tracking RADAR) signal. Once the missile launches and the booster falls off, it exposes an antenna, the TTR will start sending guidance pulses to the Missile. The PDD card sees this and knows the missile is in the air now because those pulses are moving quite nicely in our window, at this point we start transmitting deception pulses back to the TTR on a one-for-one basis. For each pulse that the 126 sees it will transmit a deception pulse at a higher amplitude to bury the actual return in noise. Remembering the 126 once moved from RCV to RPT at Fence In, will only transmit once the received signal strength exceeds a predetermined threshold, and will stop repeating when it exits that signal strength threshold on the way out. Most SAMs, Airborne TTRs, and DECM systems transmit at 1,000 watts or 60 dBm, as does the AN/ALQ-126A/B, and F/A-18 RADARS. For every +3 dBm, the signal strength doubles, for every -3 dBm it halves. Sense, On and Snap, Off (Repeater On/Off) is 29 and 39dBm. Does that help? My leg to stand on........ AT1(AW/SW) USN ret. 1977-1997 DECM Technician.

I got a curved 10cm extension on eBay for like USD 20.00 at the time, they are a couple of dollars more now. Extension link You can also find stick anti-break collars for the stick too. Collar link

It's too modern and should reflect the period when most of the conflicts took place, the late 50s to late 70s. Cities and airfields are too modern for that period. And that's just my two cents worth.
