Did you also turn on Link16 from the second DL menu on the UFC?

This version of the Hornet has TACAN and Link16 embedded in the same MIDS terminal, as opposed to older models that had a separate AN/ARN-118 TACAN module.

Correct, but since Bob is "in control" he takes care of any turn coordination or thrust lever adjustments to keep the helicopter stable.

If you're not providing any more lateral input to the stick, Bob will interpret that as "don't turn." Think of it like dual-linked controls in the real helicopter where they move together. You're "guiding" Bob as to what you want him to do by moving the stick and thrust lever.

What do you mean by "it won't let me"? What weapon are you using? Do you have a track we can look at?

The tail rotor/crabbing is already a known WIP issue:

Already reported:

The Weapon Insertion Panel uses alpha-numeric codes to tell the SMS what weapon is loaded with what fuze configuration. The code for the nose well is different if the weapon is equipped with a DSU-33 or not.

The M240H, which is the specific version equipped on this CH-47, does not include a guard on the barrel.

The good chunk of Block 50 F-16s in U.S. service were built in the early 90s. There were only a small handful of 00- and 01- serials that were built for U.S. service (about 4~5 for 2000 and about 10 for 2001). Compared to this, the amount of U.S. Block 50s built in the fiscal year for 1991 attribute to about a little over 90 airframes. That's not to say that the 00- and 01- serials are "invalid" (especially considering the original default livery for the DCS F-16 was serial 01-7052). It's just that the 91- serials for U.S. Block 50s are much more common.

You would probably have to either find a custom livery that already changes the fiscal year of the serial number or make your own; that part of the decal isn't dynamic.

Is the pod still in standby mode (STBY)? Top-left OSB to change the pod's mode (STBY, A-A, A-G).

If you're referring to 'YF1497,' that's the MGRS grid.

Probably this mod:

CHECK TRIM will appear if the stabilator trim is not set correctly for takeoff, not sure why it's still present while airborne. BALT on the advisory line (ADV) just provides a constant reminder to the pilot that barometric altitude hold is engaged.

The E and F model Mavericks that the Navy uses have the heavier ~300kg warhead, which are only authorized for use on LAU-117 single rail launchers.

You can change the pilot's helmet in the advanced options for that aircraft in the 'Additional Properties' tab in the editor (the tab only becomes available if the aircraft is a Client or Player slot). You can select JHMCS, NVGs, or 'Not installed' (which will just be a normal HGU visor). The ground crew menu also allows you to select JHMCS and NVGs, but there's no option to remove either at the moment. Whichever option is actually equipped will override the 509 argument.

There was no big announcement, it just kind of happened.

Known issue:

Markpoints have a bug currently where the elevation is saved incorrectly:

The TCN option on the power menu doesn't work yet, but is basically "on" at power-up. You can get to TCN controls from pressing CNI twice (NAV RADIOS menu). In the current patch changing the mode doesn't appear to work, and only works as receive-only.

Historically, the ramp behind the Whiskey and UAE ramps has been used for parking aircraft (sometimes Marine Corps), however this position has no connecting surface between it and the rest of the ramp area. (Attached satellite image from May 2010)

FD CLPR REL sounds like it would be the Flight Director Coupler Release, looks for the inputs labeled 'cmds' and try those.

If you look in CoreMods/aircraft/AircraftWeaponPack/Shapes, you'll see there's models for a ramp-mounted M3 and door-mounted M134.
