It's not bad, I use TARGET GUI & SCRIPT. but I use Joy2key for my BlackHog, but I found while Using SCRIPT with the TMWH I can still program Sequence presses with Joy2key on the WH, you just have to tell Joy2key you want to use 120dx presses for your custom profile. Because default is 32. When using TARGET GUI you are emulating a keyboard, Joy2key can stay at 32.

Yeah I saw that one guys video on YouTube where he tried all kinds of settings. And you could see the jittery shadows no matter what he tried, post hotfix.

Don't you have to have a 4000 series VGA to get DLSS to work?... 3080ti here, and it doesn't make any difference on my system with that VGA and a 1440 monitor at 144hz... and it still has artifacts in shadows from what I saw on Youtube tests.

Avionics systems are different between them as well. The WRA's (Weapons Replaceable Assemblies) will still have the same nomenclature.. i.e. FIRAMS, FCES, but have different - "Dash" numbers, or completely new part numbers and NIIN's Example the Signal Data Converter that gives you all your input for the IFEI is like 1699136G10.. the updated version in the Super Hornet is the -12 SDC.. Naval Aviation has what's called the AIM.. Aircraft Interchangeability Matrix.. for the C/D it tells you what aircraft either the -11 or -12 SDC goes into. and what SRA's are interchangeable between compatible WRA's i.e. the -9, -10, -11 SDC's. (they all go in the C/C. None are compatible with the -12 for the Super Hornet. C/D's are still flown by some Marine squadrons until they receive F-35's. C/D avionics systems are quickly become totally obsolete for spare parts, IC's, and other discrete components are damn near impossible to obtain except through cannibalization. I worked for 24 years for Boeing at NAS Lemoore's Avionics Repair Facility. We never touched a piece of E/F equipment. We did erroneously received some SRA's from DLA.. but we could not test them, had no documentation on them. And they were not covered under the yearly contract we had to negotiate every year. The C/D will cover any conflict we have maps for now, so getting an E/F wouldn't make any difference. Now the Advanced Super Hornet is a different story.... That's what everyone should be Faunchin' and Bellerin' about. There, is a big update in capabilities.

"What do I want to see in DCS" Having a relevant plane inventory for the map and "ITS" time period. And to stop making modern maps where nothing has happened since the mid-70s. i.e. Sinai... What drives this is everyone's nearsightedness.... having to have the latest airplane.. the latest controllers... Powerhouse computers to run VR, triple screens..... You would buy a hanger queen under the pretext of supporting a developer for further DLC'Ss. You can tell by reading their Signature at the bottom of the post. And Dubai doesn't look anything like it did when I was last docked at Jebel Ali and traveled into Dubai in Sept.95... But at 30,000 ft who gives a rodent's arse what's down at ground level... well, Mudmovers care...... When you go to do a Six-Day War attack in Egypt, 2023 Cairo isn't the same as 1967 Cairo, Egypt. Or Yom Kippur in 1973, this is the last big battle in the Sinai.. most everything else on a large scale, that took place with Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and now Gaza and HAMAS... DCS makes some great models, but giving us a realistic battle space to exercise those models is its greatest downfall, and why I guard my money jealously when it comes to modules. If it doesn't change (improve) the form, fit, or function of a time period map, I won't buy it. It's a WASTE of funds. For WWII, there is no map for the I-16, or Lavochikin... total waste of money... Marianas Is. is the only map with dual purposes WWII and modern-day maps.. Not a lot has happened in the Pacific since WWII, but I digress again into a soft rant... I'm cringing thinking if we get a Korean Peninsula map, Seoul will be modern... and say a prayer for N/S Vietnam... JM2CW Hoss

TARGET has been updated to include TQS system components. It works great and solves all the problems I'm hearing about in here. Cheers Hoss Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether. A clean desk is a sign of a cluttered desk drawer. All you need in life is ignorance and confidence, and then success.

There are Virpil (CP#2) WinWing (PTO2) BlackHog (A), Thrustmaster WH, TM_TQS Viper Panel, Crosswinds, and K51 Trim Box components in my reach right now. Figured I won't be using the Virpil example in my under-construction Left Console, it just didn't tickle my fancy much. I'm really waiting to see just how well the Viper Panel works with the WartHog HOTAS in TARGET, GUI, and SCRIPT (TM_Combined) So..... I won't buy anything else until I figure out if I can get all these buttons, switches, and axes to work in TARGET GUI, for IL2. If there's ever a need for another box I'll probably have to get an NLR rig to mount it all on..... of course... oh and a new monitor... monitor stand, (triple monitor?) another keyboard, mouse, headphones (wireless?)..... etc... etc... Doooooohhhhh!!!!!!!! “Buy what you have no need of and before long you will sell your necessities.”

LOL, okay, I will definitely attempt this at some point. I've got two custom files now. I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to start numbers. What do you need to know?, the name, numbers of the buttons?... there are two modes 32, and 43 button virtual mode. I emailed these guys when I got my panel and there was no TARGET update, they actually emailed me back when they uploaded it. I guess I could take screen shots when I actually get the Left Console I'm building done, TARGET updated, Complete DX updated. DCS updated I'll get my "Round Tuit" activated and see what the GUI screen looks like and take a screen shot of it for you, you will know the button names. 32 and 43 virtual mode. Thanks

Hey Sedenion, I'm in the middle of rebuilding my HOTAS setup. Ive been using your SCRIPT with a TMWH HOTAS, I've recently got my hands on a Viper Panel. I have not updated anything, DCS or TARGET. So I'm asking; guilty of ignorance on my part, but is 2.2 ready, or are you still working on a SCRIPT that will allow a user to add the Viper Panel, like you would an MFD to your 120 dx count? By customizing our button states 1/0 where we need it with a TMWH HOTAS in the Complete SCRIPT profile? Thanks for the SCRIPT update so quick, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you have given us.

It's plug and play with the F-16, you will probably need a good SCRIPT/GUI profile for anything else. Remember it has two modes.... 32 button and Enhanced 43 button. Which mode is plug and play? Read the TM TARGET new release notes, as it reguards to the TQS Throttle and Panel. Good Luck!

For those that care, Thrustmaster has updated TARGET to include TQS components. Along with more TQS support files. Now you can really start to customize it with other 'Combined" components. Cheers

The Viper Panel I ordered was delivered today.... very nice. Building a new Left Console.

Dang, Razor you're mellowing with age.... LOL I think I was #119 Razor, I remember seeing a screen shot of it somewhere. I'm delusional to think the new IL2, is IL10. Start in Manchuria and work your way into North Korea. We get the Yellow Sea, Essex Carriers, Panthers, Skyraiders, Corsairs, fair winds and following seas. Damn, I can smell mid-rats .........

Needs a VF-51 Skin on it...... then I'll fly it

With that, I'd start maxed out in 2D. And selectively down tune until you can live with it. Which should be "All Out". My case has an 8700K and 3080ti, 32Gb of RAM......and that's pretty much where I run it. Let us know, what you find out. Find a good bench mark video first. Use that instead of guess work, and do it for your specific system. Then get reshade..... have fun

On the Hornet there are four antennas (Quad Receiver) and Pre-amplifer. They receive your FCR RF emissions........ you have band pass filters on the ALR-67 (.5 - 18Ghz) and ALQ-126 is a tad tighter on the lower end. DECM systems transmit the same power and frequency ranges as their equivalent RADAR transmitters. You also transmit back on the same antennas. Go look at the EA-6B. that big bulge on the tail is the antenna, the canopy is gold lined and the cockpit is shielded to protect them from being nucalated like a hot dog. The Growler carries the same ALQ-99... AWACS are freq agile, and capable of very narrow sector scans, depending on how his PRF/PW is changing, is how your RWR is going to see him. 360⁰ Broadband search is a slower position update on each other... with freq hopping and sector scan you are painted much faster.... you both know where each other are at a quicker refresh rate.... other than that, I'm at a loss for what you are seeing. As an IL2 Beta tester, we need to record tracks, helps to explain what you are seeing. From all the bellrin' and faunchin' I guess it's repeatable, and more than a few are seeing it. Video tracks.... start making them. Get on comms with buddies, get in the preferable parameters and start recording. Give it to the Devs.

Yes, resources are limited. But ASPJs have the Threat Library in its memory, just like the ALR-67. You can say it's a criminal database but we are only interested in the FBIs 10 most wanted list. Each FCR system has its fingerprint that identifies it. Now we have a deception technique that gets assigned to this FCR, and the more deadly the system, the higher priority it gets.. We will keep transmitting that technique for as long as that RADAR has lock on us, and we're in our signal sensitivity threashold or it's missiles seeker head is transmitting. Now, if that RADAR fits the band pass, and we can't determine it's fingerprint... i.e. UNK..... it gets assigned a generic technique... you need to vacate the AO.... now IRL. As to whatever it is you guys are seeing dealing with the AWACS, and what it has to do with DCS I have not seen myself. I can not tell you what an AWACS operator sees on his screen while some A/C 200nm out, looks like while he's responding to an Airborne or Surface FCR. The AWACS TX freq (carrier freq) is lower than the FCS of whatever is being jammed. Remember it's the carrier freq. we need to get inside our enemies receiver. So, will he see it?

Yes, the EA-6Bs had the gold lined canopies, radiation shielding from their AN/ALQ-99s which are more powerful than ASPJs. It depends how close they can get without a ground or sea borne transmitters burning through. Or they can home on jam..and yer done... Example.... Soviet FCR usually operates between 2-16Ghz back in the 80s. That was divided into Low, Mid and high band..... 2-4, 4-8, and 8-16 Ghz.... you had a crystal detector in the receiver circuits of the 126, if some knucklehead AT or stupid J.O. pilot self-tested his ALQ on the flight deck he aways burned up his low band crystal detector. (You had to put dummy loads on the L/M/H band input lines to self test on deck.... or anywhere.... except airborne) Now, I don't know how or what other services, or how other countries built their systems. So I would be guessing at this point. That was the Alpha, Delta Mod version of the ALQ-126. THE B version went to solid state band pass filters. And got rid of the input TWTs and went solid state there too. The only thing I know for sure is our Prowlers sent the Iranian F-4s running for home when they lit them up with their jammers, and all shore comms. They were deaf, dumb and blind and couldn't tell anyone. I don't know what ASPJ system the Iranians had in the F-4, but their Tomcats were carrying ALQ-100s. I No one asks about the Electronic Warfare A-3Ds from VAQ Dets out of Guam.... They were the Survellance planes we took on cruise, we picked them up in the Philippines. They flew along the coast and got people to turn on their Search and FCR so they could record and triangulate where the systems were and their capabilities. INTEL... now I can build an attack plan where I can use all the tools at my disposal, to get my package in and out..... one pass haul ass.... only fumb duckers loiter in Indian country.. Sorry If you know an FCR/SEARCH RADAR systems carrier freq. You can jam it, decieve it..... even Frenquency Agile RADARS. Most RWRs BP is .5Ghz to 18Ghz that includes AWACS. You see them on the 67s screen, but the ASPJ does not. I can't wait for the A-7E and A-6E to show up. Hopefully they model the ALE-41 Chaff Pod for the A-6. I'm interestd to see how Operation Preying Mantis plays in game. Lt. Lee was an A-7E pilot in VA-94, he came down to our shop, April 17th 1988, and asked if this stuff really works. Greg, my running mate from VA-22 told him to let us know if he ever had to use it. He laughed, we laughed. We didn't have a clue what would happen the next day. Mr. Lee was the Avionics Div Officer in VA-94, O-level maintenance...... we were TAD to AIMD. I-LEVEL maint. That was also the last A-7E cruise on the West Coast. Then I went to NAMTRAGRUDET at Lemoore and taught this.... PM me next time.....

LMFAO.................... You don't like my answers?... ask relevant questions........................ Mark and I are really hurt you don't like his quotes?......oh my gosh, that really hurts... well, here is the one I said I prolly shouldn't share... but holy shiznit, does it fit...and he said... I quote... “No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot" it seems you forgot what Mark said about the principal differences between a man and a dog... Well.......... there's nothing to be learned from the second kick of a mule... If all you need in life is ignorance and confidence, well duder, you've got it licked........... that's a quote by Hoss... "In philosophy, or religion, or ethics, or politics, or DCS, two and two might make five, but when one is designing a car, or an airplane or an Electronic Warfare system, they had to make four.” nope, not Mark... and embellished a bit... G. Orwell FINI.....

You could have gone to every page on that website and learned about ECM/RADAR... after all, it's called the Radar Tutorial page. Upper left-hand corner, there are GUI radio buttons you can select that can take you to a veritable cornucopia of information about the RADAR/ECM Electromagnetic Spectrum.... Basics/RADAR sets/RADAR Technology/Radar Devices ECM is in the BASIC section The answer to my Question was the AN/DLQ-3B... it was a stop-gap measure... April 88 the EA-6B's just fried the Iranian F-4 RADARS... they turned around and went home... You have to realize most all of this stuff, no matter which nation, works in the same frequency range and power ranges... I worked on F/A-18 RADAR 65/73 and the ALQ-126, which played with Soviet/Russian RADAR and fire control systems... Same freq ranges.. same power ranges... AN/APG-65 is I-Band... So you have all this electromagnetic energy floating around in space.. that ECM system in your Hornet just can't be going off on everything it sees. your enemy can just home on jam and yer dead... That's why it only responds.... okay..wait for it..... one pulse returned, for every pulse that strikes the A/C skin, but only if its fingerprint matches the Threat Library database. No AWACS planes are in that DATABASE as a Threat... and you have to be within the required, received, signal strength, to trigger the transmitter to transmit..... at 300 miles away you will not be responding to anything... even if it was a fire control radar... You would think I'd just give up... but to be armed with the facts, you can better present your argument to ED..... remember the hand that feeds you... in this case Information... “If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.” M. Twain..... Hey, everyone have a great weekend... I've got a playdate with my Great Granddaughter at 1400..... my day is golden...

Jesus, Joseph, and Mary..... okay.... I mean, after all, this was the title of the thread... How AWACS/EWR saw enemy with ECM 25 years ago IRL IN REAL LIFE........... Let's take a quick poll....... how many of you were repairing AN/ALQ-126A/B 25 years ago??????? I'll wait........... You would have needed a USN/NEC of 6645 and a Secret Clearance. I also had an Instructor NEC, yep I actually taught young impressionalble Sailors and Marines how to repair this stuff too... They actually listened,... and cracked open their PUBs..imagine that.......... The Marines were always the smartest in the bunch... Chew on this... how did we handle the Iranian F-14's AWG-9 RADAR back in the '80s?, especially on April 18, 1988.... only it was F-4s that came out to play with us that day. Iranians were going to Avionics school with me at NAS Millington, TN. back in 77/78. Mud Ducks (Aviation USCG) were in attendance too... The Treat Library in the 67 and 126 will see our RADAR as friendly and not respond even during lock-on... so what did we use? I can argue this point until the cows come home, but if you don't have a foundation to stand on, I can't help you understand. So Mark Twain said it best:.....The trouble with the world is not that people know too little; it is that they know so many things that just aren’t so. He also said:....-- There is nothing like instances to grow hair on a bald-headed argument. But, George Orwell stuck a pin in it with this... To see what is in front of one's nose needs constant struggle... the link I shared... So much information “Many are destined to reason wrongly; others, not reason at all; and others, to persecute those who do reason”. Voltaire.... Cheers Hoss

LMAO...... Pick up some books on this subject before you post about it.. heck, use Google https://www.radartutorial.eu/16.eccm/ja01.en.html US Figters DECM (AN/ALQ-126) will not respond to AWACS plane's SEARCH RADAR...it's not in the Threat Library, your AN/ALR-67 will tell you his RADAR knows where you are.. and you can bet he's telling his little buddies on your flank via DATALINK. And everything still looks normal... BOOM... Deception uses ECM to forge false target signals that the radar receiver accepts and processes as real targets. The pulse repetition frequency of the false target signals are: either unsynchronous to the pulse repetition frequency of the radar unit and the interfering pulses write narrow scroll-shaped sectors on the monitor, or either synchronous to the pulse repetition frequency of the radar unit or even derived from the radar unit's own transmitting impulse. (Repeater Jammer). The impulse sent out to the deception then has another range, another azimuth, or another speed than the true aim sign. (AN/ALQ-126)(Pulse for Pulse) ED needs to hope they don't know, and if they do... they are smart enough not to advertise they know how it works. Quickly out of business... this is a game, not real life.. enjoy it for what it is... A Big, Deep, Black money pit............................... 6639/6641/6645 USN/NEC

You are right... I wonder why he said he needed to shop for a replacement in case his brakes... sounded like "Experience" talking...

The fact you just said... "I have shopped for a second base unit in case my first should break". gives me pause to wonder about said devices. The brand new PTO2 I just got is amazing on the left-hand side and a disappointment on the right-hand side... makes the old saying Fair to Middling fit in this case...it's... So So.. LOL, hey, the Virpil CP#2 is just as weird... some really nice stuff and stuff I wonder if it will break the first time I use it. A guarded switch that doesn't latch in either direction.. why have a guard.... As the old saying goes, a fool and his money are soon separated... we flight simmers are far worse animals... Us old.. old Dogs should know better..

the holes in the side are for M5x40 bolts, for M5 Slot nuts... which you can't get from Monstertech. They do come in their system for mounting a MIP style setup. So I had to find a source for the slot nuts from Walmart of all places.. the bolts I can source from a local hardware store. They fit on the MT extrusions just great if you have the necessary hardware. Those two bolts and nuts they gave you to anchor the cord are what you need. M5x40.
