Best $50 I ever spent - and I'm not even a helo guy.

Yep, me too. I can get the LMAV page to open briefly (SSS Forward-Long) but It looks frozen and the scanning 'dot' stays stationary. I can occasionally get the missile to lock but the only cue I can see is the tiny square symbol inside aiming reticle on HUD. The other thing I have noticed is the LMAV doesn't operate after re-loading when 'Unlimited Weapons' is ticked which I use for training missions - it is physically there, but not operable. This doesn't happen with the other weapons in these missions. I think it's update issue so hopefully Razbam will pick up on this. And if you do, Thank You for the Harrier!!

Urethra! - That's it, I now have a full roster of ships courtesy of Glen and MyHelljumper. I didn't even know about the 'historical' function. Many thanks to all!

Hi, I don't use any mods and I've done the repair through Skatezilla program and also uninstalled AV-8B. As you can see above I can use the Tarawa from saved games but not 'new mission'. I think I may have to completely uninstall everything and try again.. That's a lot of modules!..

Re-install AV-8B didn't work. This is what I get. The 'Naval Group - 2016' is different to your screen - not sure why that is. However, if I use one of my old save games, there she is!

Really hoped the 'Carrier' tab would be the one, although I'd have felt a bit stupid admitting it! But no, I get the same result as you except there is no Tarawa or Oliver Perry in any of the categories. I'll try uninstalling AV-8B and let you know if it works. Thanks to all for your effort, this is a great community.

Thanks for the replies. Sadly, it still doesn't show up in my ships list when trying to create new mission which is really weird given the above comments - all of the CVNs are there, the Burke, Ticonderoga, the Hardy thingy, but no Tarawa or Oliver Perry.. If I load one of my older mission then hey-presto, she magically reappears. Can anybody tell me if the Tarawa part of the AV-8B module or is it a DCS object?. Thinking I may try to re-install Harrier to see if that works.

I've loaded older missions to test and the Tarawa is still there sailing up the Russian coast, on the drop down list (incidentally, so is the Oliver Perry) but sadly missing on the 'create new mission' option. Confused.com!

Just booted up 2.7 and while creating a new AV-8B mission the Tarawa is not one of the listed ships? All of the CVNs are there plus the cruiser and destroyer, but no Tarawa? Is this a bug, or am I missing something? :(

That's really strange as I had zero wind set in options and the miz still shows no wind. I think the mission file was corrupted as when I created a new one with the same parameters and the veering was only minimal and within limits. Thanks for going to the trouble though, I appreciate it. :)

Hi BIGNEWY, see attached. I put on NWS to try to counteract the veer as rudder alone has little effect. Take off veering.trk

Hi, after installing the latest update this morning, my F-16 is veering violently to the right on take off. It is impossible to keep straight and overturns when I try to correct.. Has something changed?

Same here.. 65D's always seem to be a little off from TGP. AGM65H's work fine though and slew to TGP perfectly. Shame they are so dependent on weather conditions.

Yep, same for me. Alt-Hold switch engages but only momentarily.

I understand that we all want something for less, but despite the sale the F-16 module is well worth it's full price, and the beauty of DCS is that your experience will continuously improve over time. This jet will be awesome in a year or so.

Just tested and Mavs are working well for me. I sometimes I have to re-select weapon station to get the IRs to uncage but this also happened before latest patch. I have weapon stations mapped to keyboard so for example, IR stations are mapped to key 5 and Lasers to key 6, that seems to reset the missile if it doesn't uncage first time. Otherwise, the obvious one is to make sure IRs are warmed up and you have the RDY symbol, or that you are in AG mode, or that your key bindings are mapped properly. Good luck!

Same with ground targets, at least moving ones. Running in for gun-shot on a column of tanks and the targets are blinking in and out of existence. On a positive note, got to say that the Harrier looks super sweet these days!

Love the latest newsletter and stoked for the new carrier module and ocean map. Would have loved the Korean peninsula, but another day hopefully. :) As regards to the discount for Hornet owners: Doesn't really bother me as in reality we're talking about maybe $5 here or there- but wouldn't it have saved you a lot of forum grief to simply reduce the early access discount to say, 25%, while increasing the Hornet-owner discount to 35% during the EA phase?. I think it's always a wise strategy to keep a committed client base onside, and it'd save your head some unnecessary abuse from Mr Wall.. ;)

Just the job.. Thanks.

Hi all, Trying to use new JDAM functionality in the Harrier. Seems to work fine selecting on F10, importing to CAS and designating the targets and fuses. However, I have designated 4 targets and the first three G-38s drop as expected but DCS crashes before the fourth releases. Has anyone else encountered this? I assume it's a bug? Thanks.

Well you've convinced me! I'll order it tonight. Thanks bro, I appreciate your time. :thumbup:

Hi, thanks for the reply! I have it at 64.5 but this is arbitrary as I haven't played around with different settings. My CPU is stock speed but it is water-cooled so I suppose it could go higher. Do you think I would notice a huge increase in quality with the Reverb over the Lenovo? And would my specs be good enough to take advantage? I think that would be enough for me to go for it. Thanks..

Hi, I've read through most of this thread and now that the Reverb is available on the HP store (UK) the temptation is killing me. I would be very grateful if anybody would be able to answer a couple of questions before I commit. I currently have a Lenovo Explorer which, while it is a wow experience, tends to leave me with a sore head after use. I don't wear glasses yet but I am probably heading that way - would the increased resolution of the Reverb make a big difference to this? - i.e. to anyone who has traded up, could the lower resolution be causing strain and headache? Is it worth waiting for next generation? Is there anything at a similar price likely to beat the Reverb in the coming 6-12 months? I currently use an Ultra-wide monitor (3440x1440@75Hz) and can run DCS with most options on high - is this spec likely to run Reverb at it's highest resolution? Specs: MSI Z170A GAMING PRO i7-6700k @4.01Ghz 16GB DDR4 SDRAM DCS is on a Samsung EVO 970 M.2 card Nvidia Titan XP 12GB Thanks! :)

Yeah, I also have it mapped to a hat switch and it is really sensitive. Try going to Point track mode with TMS up before trying to fine slew - I think it works better for me that way.

Hi, I'm no expert and I can appreciate people feeling it's underdone - but hey, Ed hold it back and they get 'When's it coming, when's it coming!' Release it early and it's 'Too raw and missing features'.. the old adage you just can't please everyone comes to mind . For me, 30 minutes setting up the axis curves and it feels like I believe an F-16 should. It's great to look at inside and out, and blasting around the Caucus map is a hoot. In a year's time this module will be kick-ass.
