silent one

Thanks guys :)

Im a total noob so unsure how I get to train with the pod , or in fact any weapon in the beta thats not in a training mission. Theres no training missions and quick mission wont pick the pod setup. Is the only way using ht emission designer. Which is daunting and I can work it out currently. I cant see how I change my loadout either :( any quick fixes or points to a tutorial would be hugely helpful. Yes I did do a search but didnt find anything so far.

Why are there no visible boundaries for the occupied areas of Abkhazia and S Ossetia? Since these are the obvious combat flashpoints I dont understand why they arnt visible to give us some hints where the initial forward line of battle is?

"Initial work" Great to hear the in depth info on progress since 2015. I cant cope with the info overload.

Im finding deadzone 4 and curve 16 ok. Using the same on my Hornet too.

Ive found that when trying to set my toe brakes it freezes the axis select section. I then cant change the toe brakes , check axes or even select buttons . Its like the whole mapping system freezes when I try to map toe brakes. No previous problems. All works fine on f18 but something funky with the f14 :(

Thanks . that fixed it. I checked again and thats definitely isnt in the tutorial :(

Im finding my cluster bombs dont open in the training mission. Not sure if Im doing something wrong or if its a bug. I have the programme set for ccip.m fuze vt at 1500ft drop. radar altimeter on. Altimeter set to 1500ft. Im dropping at about 2-5000ft 500kn in a 25deg shallow dive. The bomb drops but doesnt open. It just lawndives into the ground. I cant see what IM doing wrong :( any ideas. Im doing exactly what it prompts in the training mission.

cant get rid of pop up when offline Fixed with the l shift lctrl esc . Im new to SRS and have an issue. When Im playing offline Im getting a SRS window always onscreen when Im in cockpit. Its not the toggleable channel screen . its a prompt saying Im not connected . Its a transparent dragable box. I cant get rid of it. iven when SRS isn't turned on. v bugging. Any ideas ?

Thanks for all your input guys. Much appreciated :)

Im new and trying to learn takan in the f18. Im trying to set it so I can fly to an appropriate approach vector. Is there somewhere where the runway angle is written down ?

Is there a way to turn my beta into a stable so it continues to update as stable and not as beta? I see my options are to update beta only.

Ive been away a year . I thought I had 2 installs one being the beta. Now I seem to have one install and it says its beta on the install folder. I searched the forums and it seems to be saying the beta merged and now. Im really confused. Do I have to make a fresh install to get the stable version? Game says its version 2.5427430

I dont understand why we are having to trim a fly by wire plane. Shouldn't the flight computer be doing this automatically?

I thought when launching from a carrier, launch was supposed to be hands off stick and automated. Is that not the case?

Thanks guys. I didnt see that button on screen. The instructions as to where to use bonus points not very clear or intuitive. Your help is much appreciated. :)

Yes I have read the description on bonus points but I still cant work out how to use them. It seems to say, some but not all items can be bought and there is some button to press to use ones bonus points in the buy menu. Ive looked through the whole catalog and cant seem to find anything like that. Im stumped. So can someone help. This system isnt exactly intuitive and yes I have read the manual. Thats not really user friendly either. Aid would be greatly appreciated.

Theres no rain for them to wipe. Its an immersion thing. EEAH_ EECH had wipers that interacted with the rain. It looked great and was atmospheric. I loved it and I want it back in my fave sim :) Im not slagging off BS2, its just a suggestion for improvement in the future. If you were playing a Le Mans racing car sim and the track was wet, wouldn't you want the immersion of the rain on the windscreen and the wipers working? DCS and IL2 are incorporating rain effects in the near future. Which is great :) Id love it if the BS can get some additional love to bring it back to the party :)

Ive been a way a while so Im unclear as to development. I see in youtube vids that there are going to be rain on windscreen effects in future. With that in mind are we going to have working windscreen wipers in BS? I loved this in EEAH and would pay extra to have it here :)

I seem to remember reading in the f/a 18 features list that ground radar will be implemented. Now worryingly when I read the features list I cant seem to find a reference to this. Likely Im looking in the wrong places. But it makes me nervous after the wait for Nevada after A10 preorder. Is there any news about a time line for this? I dont understand why so little is said about the ground radar. Its fundamental to the platform.

Nos sure if anyone's posted this before . Interesting lecture by a guy involved in the design

I asked this in f18 forum only to have it closed by Wags. I thought it was a pretty simple question but I guess its more appropriate in World forum. Theres not been an update on ground radar in a very long time. April 2015 being the last time there were pics of progress Im aware of. Anyone aware of progress? Id like to get the F18 but with no ground radar I'm a lot less keen.

We need a real radar model rather than a mod. Its frustrating that Falcon 4 had this 18 years ago. Its a vital part for the collection to move forward. If were ever going to have a F4 or a Longbow ,, or a f18 that's going to be worth its salt we need this bit to work well. Im hoping the attention to detail and realism so obsessively shown in the likes of A10 we will finally get a radar that looks like a radar. A update on this vital piece of the puzzle would be great by christmas :) hint hint .

April, thats a long time with no update. The Hornet really needs this so I really wish they would tell us more . Esp as this could be out in just a few months in early version.

has there been any movement on this since February when this thread started . I haven't seen anything new.
