Supanova had put up a nice ICLS video. But there is no 'Warning Horn'' although the ROD at touchdown shows about 830 ft/ mt ( above the 750 ft/mt limit)
That might have been before the fairly recent flight model update made the landing gear more sensitive to breakage, but the 750 ft/min isn't really a hard limit. I've landed harder and not broken gear with the new model. I haven't really properly tested this theory yet, but my feeling is if you land with wings perfectly level (spreading the load evenly between right and left gear) you're less likely to break things than if you're slightly banked.

That fixed my issue with the radios.
That one really isn't a bug, more a lacking feature. You can't refuel from basket tanker (i.e. KC-135MPRS) so it ignores you. In a perfect world it would tell you that it wasn't able to refuel you so bugger off, but they're rude and just ignore you instead

All true..... but I've seen some weird tracks. In one example, I originally did a split-s, and fired a 9X at a bandit that got past us. In the track, the missile fired before the split-s. And I have a TRK file of it! Sigh...
-Ryan
Yes, that's a limitation of track files because they were never designed to replicate exactly what happened: they were designed to record inputs for debugging purposes and became a fill in option for doing "replays". ED improved their replayability in the last year, but since they are recreating (rather than replaying) what happened any slight randomness can change the result. That's why you can get multiple different results from the same track and if something goes even slightly different in the early part (even if it's not noticeable) that can amplify and cause big changes later. Since it records exactly what the inputs were is what lets the devs use it to debug.

In 2 hours I only downloaded 7 Giga out of 153
at this rate I would take advantage of the card from Monday
(I download at 0.7 mega/s) and even at times I go down to 400 kb/s Great
I feel your pain. Running 1-1.3 MB/sec for me. 24 hour download. Glad I managed to be home to get it going this morning so I can play this weekend.

You're likely using the "\" key ("communications menu" binding) to pull up radio menus? It works for EASY comms and on the ground for REALISTIC comms, but in the air you need to use whatever you have bound for "COMM Switch - COMM 1" for COMM 1 and bound for "COMM Switch - COMM 2" for COMM 2. Typically these will be RALT-\ and RCTRL-\.
Working on the ground by not after takeoff (and the fact that you are coming from Easy Comms) almost always point to this as the issue.

Of course, TRK files don't even work properly in DCS. Play a track 5 times, and you'll see 5 completely different scenarios..... which you can verify with TacView. Even the order of operations by the user isn't correct sometimes.
-Ryan
Realize that the devs have different tools that they can use on track files than average users which I assume gives them more useful information than a user might see.
And I get that people get annoyed with the request for a track file, but I've seen too many threads that have gone on for multiple pages with no track file provided where it turns out it was some simple thing that the OP was doing (so user error) that either the user never thought twice about the fact they were doing, or didn't report because they thought it should have no effect but was causing the issue. Stuff that would have been obvious if they had just posted a track file. Without a track file devs get to try a thousand things to repro something that might or might not be a bug. Are track files perfect: no. Are they helpful, yes. A video might not show every button a user presses, a track file captures it.

Well, I'm all out of ideas. Except. You calibrate it through Windows? It escapes me, but doesn't TM have a calibration tool?
That's worth looking at. I know years ago that calibrating TM through Windows could cause issues so might be worth clearing that and using the TM tool.

Hand on stick. I have WinWing MIP so left hand presses A/P then BALT.
-
In this case probably posting the mission may be as valuable as posting the track file

i dont know why its clear that theres an upgrade cost, unless ive missed something, however it wouldnt bother me much one way or the other. i already own the FF versions of those aircraft, im not missing out by not having the fc versions
From the first post in this thread: "For all existing FC3 owners, FC2024 will be offered as an upgrade for only $9.99! Check out the details below."

Same here, but please tell me, with the hand on stick and you press BALT (just once), do you never hear the autopilot warning tone before it finally engages (like I described above, due to a small deflection and a return to center afterwards)?
And this "afterwards" can mean seconds, if you are deflecting the stick just 0.5%.
This should be looked at with priority, imho.
No I don't or if it occurs it's rare enough that I haven't noticed it.

Playing more, AP behavior is very weird in more ways.
It seems to ignore roll trim inputs when AP is engaged, so if you're not roll trimmed when you switch it on, it will roll. Attitude hold does not help with this... You would think that it would be its main function.
The plane is just all over the place in AP without deadzones, it's very frustrating to be forced to use them. It kills my formation/AAR precision.
Which AP mode? BALT/RALT ONLY control altitude, you can roll as desired without affecting it (as long as you don't give pitch input) and that's as designed. Attitude hold should hold whatever pitch and roll you are at when it's engaged. Are you saying it continues to roll further if you're not trimmed with ATT hold?
I get that you have problems with getting AP to engage, but I'm going to guess that the reason there aren't a lot more complaints is that most people don't have an issue. I have a Virpil WarBRD base with no deadzone and I basically never have issues getting it engaged, so it's not blanket "impossible" without a deadzone. Note that I'm not opposed to a tweak to not require quite as tight tolerance, just explaining why it might not be an ED priority.

Haven't had a chance to try your track, but I haven't had any issue doing this. Are you HOLDING the BIT SWITCH while you press the button on the DDI?
-
I run a mixed system of Virpil WarBRD base with Thrustmaster F-18 stick and WW throttle, MIP/MFD's. No issues. I do run SimAppPro when flying, but the only time I've run Virpil software is to set up the base.

That appears to be trying to set up WW MFD displays. If you don't have them I'd ignore it.

- If I already own all the full-fidelity versions and FC3, will the FC2024 upgrade be free?
I'd say it's pretty clear that if you own FC3 then the upgrade is $9.99 and that's the only discounted option available.

why wouldn't it look like two converging circles when any other binocular device does?
Because IRL (unless you haven't adjusted the distant between your eyepieces) if you look through binoculars your view looks like a circle, not 2 converging circles. As SMH said, the converging circles is a movie thing.

I'll admit that I have played with fire and done it without disconnecting. Definitely a possibility that it could corrupt something if you don't, but if you accidentally do it you'll likely be OK.

I believe that SPACE is the default trigger binding, which is why pressing it first works (you're sending "trigger" (space) rather than "weapons release" (right alt space)).

but here is a question: TIR has a stable and beta version. I’m using beta version, so maybe that’s what’s wrong?
Huh. I didn't realize there was a TIR beta version. Didn't think it had changed at all in many years. If you end up having to uninstall again anyway its worth trying the stable version.

Thanks Rob! Not sure how I missed it. I guess there is just so much to take in that even obvious stuff just goes overlooked.
Don't feel bad -- it took me a long time to realize that one.

@cfrag....
Another question if I may. Do you know of a way to hide units from the F10 map in game without also making the invisible in the ME. When I use the "hide from map" option they disappear completely which is a huge pain in the ME (this function puzzles me). I want to be able to see what I'm developing in the ME but not have enemy units plastered on the F10 map in mission. I've tried clicking the boxes in the bottom of the unit window (Game master etc.) but they do not seem to make a difference when testing the mission. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it's a bit frustrating.
If you click on the UNIT LIST option on the left side (triangle, diamond, box symbols) you can check and uncheck the "show hidden units" box to show or hide the hidden units in the ME. You can double click on units in that list to toggle hidden or exposed status of the unit.

RALT is limited to below 5K IIRC, BALT is not limited but may not work well at extreme heights (ie 40K).
Please see my original post for possible causes and please attach a track if you want better answers or more likely a direct solution

If you have them set to client or player the AI WILL NOT ever use them. If this is a single player mission, set the one you want to fly as player (or client) and the others to whatever skill level you want the AI to have for them. (note I have not looked at the mission since I'm not near my DCS computer)
