Looney

After aligning the INS, we took off and I mistakenly left-clicked the WCS button from standby to off and then back through stby to On. We were able to lock certain contacts but after a while we got ladders of contacts on the TID, though not shown on the DDD. These target were moving from lower right to top-left or vice versa, all over the screen. We put it down to the INS going haywire due to some manoevring but I still wanted to post a thread here. Have track, this was MP, human pilot and human (me) RIO.

In program files\dcs\mods\aircraft\f-14b\cockpit\KNEEBOARD\3.lua just remove everything in that file and it "works" page is blank but you can see the others and the game wont crash

Try left alt - / or the ' or left alt '

If you haven't received anything, better use the transaction evidence of PAypal and mail to HB in order for them to help you I guess.

Wait, you purchased a piece of software for $ 70,- and didn't check the inbox to see if you had, indeed, purchased it correctly and the key was sent to you? As per page 1 of this thread, you should've gotten an email with the details.

RIO is working, look through the controls to switch seat.

Where did you pre-purchase it? On Heatblur site or with ED?

Update to 2.5.4.28461

I'm a RIO waiting to get a pilot :P

If you bought it, it is available after you update the openbeta version of DCSW. When you start DCSW it should come up with a pop-up that the F-14 is ready to be installed.

There it is; https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030

You shouldn't need to buy it, it should be available to you.

If the ED store tells you, you've already bought the cat then it's bound to that account. If you log into DCS with that same account, the DCS updater wil lupdate and tell you in the module manager the tomcat is ready to be installed.

It's in 4K resolution man!

EDs servers tomorrow after release of the F14:

With the advent of the F-14 and the SA datalink to the F-18, currently we see the beginning of an active datalink network in DCSW. LOTATC uses all ingame radar sensors to build up an air picture and can/will show Radar stations based on their initial position in the game. The operator in LOTATC can make own drawings and use the air picture to control the flights, provide ATC and WD services using UniversRadio or SRS. Link 4A is capable of surface to air (the boat to the F-14), Air to Air (AI E-2D to F-14) and Air to surface (unknown if implemented?). The AI E-2D, for example, will only datalink air targets from what I've seen. My wish is that LOTATC can fullfill the role of a human E-2D and using the datalink properties of Link 4A and Link-16 (F18) to build up the air and possibly even the surface picture based on the sensors of the F14 and F18, using more Link functionality as is currently provided by the AI in DCSW. Perhaps LOTATC could be used as a simulated gateway between Link 4A and Link 16 capable aircrafts. Without an AWACS on station, manned by a LOTATC operator, this functionality will not be possible. The goal of this datalink implementation is to allow the LOTATC operator to build up a picture beyond own sensor range, using the flights at his disposal as well as broadcast any targets picked up by a fighter to other flights / surface units in the datalink net. What say you?

Under AN/AWG-9 Weapon Control System (WCS), chapter Carrier Alignment, there is stated: The abbreviation BRC is not explained in the manual.

Great stuff, loved it. Got 2 full pages of notes to work through, thank you very much! Also, sticky this please?

From experience, the NATO Seasparrow missile will launch and have a burn time for an X amount of seconds, after that it will coast to its target, bleeding speed all the way. In effect, it won't smoke anymore so you won't see it coming in the first place. Secondly, it has an open hydraulic system, meaning that the servos that activate its flight surfaces have a limited amount of oil to play with, after the oil is gone, the missile is basically an expensive lawn dart. It can manoeuvrer three times or so and than it's out of oil. So, at launch, it will be proportionally guided to an impact point somewhere at the intercept of the tracks of both target and missile. If the target manoeuvrers, the missile looses speed and oil up to the point where it cannot manoeuvrer. The missile in the SA-13 is optical/IR guided so the exploding fuel tanks would make an excellent target for any IR missile, it's guidance totally blinded by the huge fireball. The RWR might go off due to the SA-13 carrying a small ranging radar but after launch, that's basically it. Burn time a couple of seconds and then it's over.

Damn, everytime this thread shows up with new post my heart misses a few beats, stop talking about tank gauges and leave this thread for real news :D :D
