  2. Tholozor's post in MGRS Conversion Help was marked as the answer   
    The problem is that you never changed the Grid Zone Designator (GZD), it's still 30N, which is the corresponding GZD for N0° E0°. The 30N GZD has no Grid Square ID for 'WV,' so it throws an error. The GZD you're looking for (assuming this is the Sinai map) is 36R. JTACs in DCS currently don't provide the GZD in their callouts.
  3. Tholozor's post in F18 AFTER LATEST UPDATE DCS 2.9.3.51704 was marked as the answer   
    Ensure you have 'Game Flight Mode' mode turned off in the DCS Gameplay Settings.
  4. Tholozor's post in Rdr behavior after UNDESIGNATE was marked as the answer   
    Looking at the track and testing it myself I've boiled it down to a simple description:
    - A/A weapon SET parameters cannot be invoked in RWS if L&S is present.
    STT/RSET logic doesn't matter either, a track can be designated L&S in RWS and it will prevent SET parameters from being invoked with WSS. If the trackfile ages out (e.g. removing the L&S), WSS parameter invoking returns.
    I can't find relevant information in the manual that definitively explains the logic to support one way or the other, so if it's a bug or correct is outside my knowledge unless an SME chimes in with more info.
  5. Tholozor's post in Can't change radar azimuth after a lock. was marked as the answer   
    A track would be helpful here. TWS has restrictions in place depending on the bar scan and azimuth setting.
    - 6B: Only 20­° azimuth is available.
    - 4B: 20° or 40° in azimuth are available.
    - 2B: 20°, 40°, 60° or 80° in azimuth are available.

  8. Tholozor's post in DDI's - AMPCD, what information where? was marked as the answer   
    My personal preferences:
    NAV (HUD option on EW page boxed prior to fence-in) LDDI: HUD or ADI (depending on day or night), FPAS (for transition from climb to cruise), or STORES (if I need to do additional weapon configuration after establishing cruise) RDDI: ATTK (generally 6B on HPRF at 80nmi for airspace sanitation, situational) MPCD: HSI or SA (usually HSI through climb phase and switching to SA after establishing cruise) A/A (HUD option on EW page always boxed) LDDI: AZ/EL (sometimes FLIR) RDDI: ATTK (usually no more than 4B, usually INTL but MPRF at 20nmi and below) MPCD: SA A/G (HUD option on EW page always boxed) LDDI: STORES or weapon display, sometimes FLIR (especially if mission is anti-shipping for VID) RDDI: ATTK or FLIR MPCD: SA or HSI AAR (HUD option on EW page unboxed for declutter) LDDI: HUD or FUEL RDDI: ATTK (for easy actuation of SIL option) MPCD: HSI (for ground speed readout)
  9. Tholozor's post in Cursor Zero (CZ) without TGP? was marked as the answer   
    CZ is available on the FCR.
  10. Tholozor's post in Speed evolution indication was marked as the answer   
    The Hornet (along with most U.S. fighters) doesn't have acceleration cues in the aircraft.
    IRL, tankers have recommended airspeeds based on the aircraft they intend to refuel, and the receiving aircraft generally follow specific closure rates based on that airspeed. In the case of the Hornet, the recommended closure rate is 2 knots above the tanker's airspeed (for the KC-135, the recommended airspeed range for refueling Hornets is 200 to 275 knots).
  11. Tholozor's post in Training Videos was marked as the answer   
    Can you be more specific as to what you'd like to see? Wags has an extensive playlist on his channel. https://www.youtube.com/@MattWagner/playlists

  13. Tholozor's post in Taxing the Apache with its wheels was marked as the answer   
    The blades of the Apache's tail rotor are not at a flat pitch when the pedals are centered, and will still generate some amount of counter-clockwise rotation. A few inches of right pedal are necessary to null the tail rotor's thrust.
  14. Tholozor's post in Lighting bug ? was marked as the answer   
    This is correct. With the switch in the 'off' position, the red/green lights have variable intensity control via the FORM knob (the default position being at 100% clockwise).
  15. Tholozor's post in BDA Shot reports always showing Zulu time was marked as the answer   
    Yes.
  16. Tholozor's post in Lateral landing light on the rear of Supercarrier hardly visible since Last Patch. was marked as the answer   
    If you're referring to the Long-Range Laser Lineup System, it should only be visible at night:
     
  17. Tholozor's post in Unused Betty Voice Callouts was marked as the answer   
    AFAIK the VMS lines for 'Jammer' and 'IFF' aren't used on U.S. models during flight, but are still present in the audio test (at least according to the -1).
    I believe Danish MLUs have the 'Jammer' line active for when their jammer is ready to transmit, but is on standby or receive-only.
  18. Tholozor's post in HARM pullback OVRD status in A/A master mode not consistent with other modes. was marked as the answer   
    In A/A Master Mode, HRM OVRD is automatically unboxed since, as you mentioned, the trigger is reserved for A/A weapons. This is by-design so the pilot can utilize Self-Protect mode without having to switch to A/G Master Mode.
  19. Tholozor's post in Can't find info anywhere. I see it everywhere. was marked as the answer   
    By default, when selecting the GRID option for MGRS coordinate entry for waypoints, the right DDI will initialize the 5x5 Square Identification Grid (SIG) centered on the aircraft's current position. If the REF WP option is boxed, the SIG will be centered on the grid of that waypoint.
  20. Tholozor's post in Unable to fire HARM in SP Pullback when in A/A mode was marked as the answer   
    HRM OVRD is forced off in A/A Master Mode, this is intentional so the pilot can use HARMs in Self-Protect without switching modes.
  21. Tholozor's post in What is up with the Harpoons?? was marked as the answer   
    Did you make sure to set R/BL for all the Harpoons loaded? Each station can have a different launch mode and program.
    Otherwise post a track so we can look., could also be related to these: 
     
     
  22. Tholozor's post in [INS][Multiplayer] Switching INS to IFA after a stored alignment on the ground displays IFA RDR and restarts alignment was marked as the answer   
    The mission date is set to 1987; GPS is not available.
    If there is no GPS, the IFA position on the INS knob will command the in-flight alignment procedure instead of AINS.
  23. Tholozor's post in Annunciator Threat Lights Not Working was marked as the answer   
    These lights only illuminate under specific conditions:
    RCDR ON should illuminate when the recording system is running (not implemented).
    DISP should illuminate when the countermeasures are in semi-automatic mode, and ready to dispense with pilot consent.
    SAM should illuminate when the aircraft is locked by a surface-to-air missile system.
    AI should illuminate when the aircraft is locked by another aircraft's radar.
    AAA should illuminate when the aircraft is locked by anti-aircraft artillery (Vulcan, Shilka, etc).
    CW should illuminate when the aircraft is painted by a radar in continuous wave (usually a type of missile guidance).
    You can also verify the lights will illuminate with the Lights Test switch.
  24. Tholozor's post in Syria Map AKR TCN error was marked as the answer   
    This is actually a recent correction of an old bug. TACAN channels will now show distance to DME stations on their paired frequency. It just so happens that channel 107X is paired with the VOR frequency 116.00MHz, which just so happens to also be the VOR/DME frequency at Damascus.
     
  25. Tholozor's post in Radar Bump mode [In Progress]- What is it? was marked as the answer   
    I believe the common term for it is 'Bump Acquisition.'
    It's a method by which (when commanded by the pilot) the radar can reject the current STT trackfile for a period of time in order to acquire another trackfile for STT. The first trackfile will have an exclusion zone around it, preventing it from being locked again for a number of seconds.
