  1. Check the position of the Longitudinal Cyclic Trim indicator on the INST page for the rotors. Once it's maxed out, the flight control system has no more authority in that direction. You can read more about the LCTs here:
  2. In your second attack, the Maverick was fired from well outside the keyhole, meaning although the seeker itself can see the laser before launch, it's losing it once it comes off the rail. Try to launch within these constraints as much as possible for any Maverick attack. (Image is referenced with the A-10, but the keyhole is still applicable)
  3. Fitted? Sure, the lugs should be the same, and likely the data cable and fuzing lanyards too. Actually useable? That's where it could be debatable. The Stores Management System won't have a weapon code for it on the Weapon Insertion Panel. No code entered means no option on the STORES page wingform.
  4. Pod jettison issue is already reported:
  5. Funny enough this has been brought up before a few years ago:
  6. Enable XR image processing by double-tapping the Expand/FOV button on the stick, and ensure the pod is in AREA or POINT track (processing takes a second or two). If the pod is slewed it will revert to normal until the camera is stabilized again, then the image will be re-processed.
  7. In my opinion, a small part of the "problem" is the variants that are chosen to model, as complex computer systems, avionics and control logics dominate the current roster (versus older versions that might just be "make the thing and go"). While that's a gross oversimplification, there's always going to be the age-old caveat of obtaining public data, reading it, and translating it to script for the virtual environment.
  8. This is correct, as the NWS button shouldn't drop L&S designation. Pressing NWS should: - command return to search (RTS) if the radar is in STT. - step the L&S designation through valid, ranked trackfiles. - swap L&S and DT2 designations if both are present. If you want to remove the L&S in RWS, press RSET.
  9. AFAIK (didn't work on F-16s, but have worked in aviation refueling), in order for fuel to reach the external tanks from the single-point refueling receptacle, the fuel must first flow through the internal tanks (I'm not sure specifically which tanks in which order without the fuel system diagram in front if me). Since the internal tank pressure is only reduced as opposed to completely depressureized, it takes a bit of force to push the fluid through those tanks so fuel can flow to the externals. The other half of the problem is that the fuel slider in the rearming menu only cares about internal fuel level. So once the internal tanks are completely filled, the ground crew will stop fuel flow, even if the externals are only partially filled. This is a long-standing DCS limitation, as realistically you'd probably either be able to keep fuel pressure and permit flow to the externals, or just fuel the external tanks manually via the fill caps with an over-wing nozzle. ED has mentioned in the past about the possibility of having fuel sliders for external tanks in addition to internal. The reason people have made the suggestion to be under a specific amount of fuel is to ensure that there's enough time for fuel to flow to the external tanks before the internals are filled, cutting off fuel flow. While this is a more "rule-of-thumb" method to ensure external tanks are refilled, the best guarantee is to have the ground crew remove and replace the external tanks (jettisoning the tanks not necessarily required, depending on your situation).
  10. AFAIK the LITENING on the F-16 was supposed to represent the baseline II, but as we know it's a mish-mash of LITENING and LANTIRN.
  11. Try opening the AAR door, this will depressurize the external tanks.
  12. Keep in mind the zoom on the LITENING pod isn't digital like it should be (like on the ATP), making it unrealistically good. The ATP also has multi-track and an IR pointer.
  13. The MC-130J variant will have AAR capability. Edit: Sniped!
  14. This may also include the weight of the pod adapter pylon.
  15. Already reported, affects a few different pages:
  16. He's saying "intervisibility," which is just a militaristic way to say "line of sight."
  17. If the INS goes to IFA RDR when the knob is placed in IFA, there is no GPS available (or line of sight to the satellites is blocked), and the aircraft is attempting to perform an in-flight alignment.
  18. Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Doc
  19. If we look at some of the data from this thread, you'll find the existing E-2 in DCS is basically still an E-2C under the hood:
  20. Already planned:
  21. Different branches, different requirements.
  22. The F-16 uses PDLT instead, it doesn't have the same mechanization as MSI.
  23. Verify the BATT switch was set to MAIN PWR?
  24. A track reply would help us see what exactly you're seeing, but I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest you Cursor Zero?
