A track file of your startup and/or the issue would help diagnose this.

Your point is valid, but my point is that the aircraft needs to know how it's oriented in space in order to send the correct commands to the flight controls to maintain the captured altitude. If the gyros aren't aligned, for all the system knows the aircraft is flying knife-edge sideways, or upside-down, or some other orientation that's outside the limits of engaging BALT.

Last I heard, LAU-131 was 'to be determined.' Nothing definitive one way or the other.

Jump in the front seat and set the Laser Tracker (LT) switch on the RHG to off (middle position). George is setting it to Auto when powering up the TADS, it's been reported.

When the pilot selects the gun, the gun is calibrated for the manual range (defaults to 1500m). The manual range can be adjusted on the WPN page using the MANRNG option on the bottom row and entering the desired range on the KU. The range can be set to automatic (based on the LOS of the pilot's sight) by entering 'A' on the KU (note that automatic ranging will only be applied while the gun is still selected, deselecting and reselecting the gun will revert to manual range).

It depends, are you trying to have a headset and speakers output the same audio?

There's a known issue that George sets the LST switch to AUTO on the RHG when he powers up the TADS. Jump in the front seat and set that switch to Off.

Probably better to ask over here:

In STT, the NWS/Undesignate button will drop the lock and return-to-search (RTS) to the previous search mode. In RWS, the NWS/Undesignate button will step the L&S designation through all valid trackfiles (provided no DT2 is present, otherwise will swap L&S/DT2). In TWS, the NWS/Undesignate button will perform the same function as RWS, except TWS demands an L&S is always present, and will set the highest ranked trackfile as L&S automatically when TWS is entered, provided no L&S is already present (this cannot be removed unless no valid trackfiles are present). To remove an L&S designation in RWS, press the RSET button on the ATTK (PB14) or AZ/EL (PB17) formats.

Yes. If the INS isn't aligned, it has no reference to send to the control surfaces to maintain altitude since it doesnt know your attitude.

I believe that's the 'break lock' mode.

Part of that is how DCS handles livery arguments. If you pick a livery that has an argument set to a specific value, any livery picked after it that doesn't have that same argument defined in its description.lua will use the last known value.

A similar thread for the F-16 can be found here: My last post in that thread has some info regarding TACAN/AIFF/DL channel filtering.

The progress of modules generally outpaces their training materials. The relevant section in the manual may end up on a different page number as prior sections are re-written or expanded upon. The Early Access Manual was last updated in December of last year, the AIM-120 training mission was last updated September of last year, however the initial briefing may have been written before this when referencing that outdated page number. The relevant section regarding Air-to-Air radar starts on page 233. RWS specifically on page 236.

TMS Up.

When you say 'crosshairs' are you referring to the tracking gates that encompass the entire display, or the smaller cross that represents the seeker azimuth/elevation?

Check nozzle position. Weapon release is inhibited if the nozzles are down.

Entering TWS will set the highest ranked trackfile as L&S automatically (L&S cannot be removed in TWS unless no valid trackfiles are present). Depressing the TDC on it will command STT.

The FLOOD option should only be available on PB10 if the radar is in STT and a Sparrow is in flight. The option is removed if the PB is pressed again or the Sparrow's flight timer expires.

Sniped! Yea, B-sweep line has always been there.

Yea, I was going to suggest something like this as well regarding if the beamwidth was just being multiplied by the bar scan or if the overlap was accounted for.

Alternatively, you can request the ground crew to swap between the JHMCS and NVGs.

Setting the argument to 1.0 turns that layer off, set the ones you want to 0.

When launching from the catapult on the carrier, the player's pilot now has the salute animation the AI have been using.

Laser timer is hard-set to 120 seconds for GBU-24:
