  1. I have a A10C Grips+base ( no throttle ) that i could sell. But it is brand new, only 4 months old. in box. Switzerland
  2. The only one who will show is the "ON" when you press the button for activate tacan ( it will then show on HSI ). In caucase map it is allways X for tacan. Y can be shown in map like Syria, so just dont mind about it enter the number and it is all good. Sometimes the tutorials are a bit confusing.
  3. When you push TCN button on the UFC, you have different texts populated on the right side X and Y are the last lines, you have 2 points side of it who indicate X or Y are selected. default it is X. After enter the Tacan numbers > Enter on UFC > press ON on the UFC ( right button) for enable the TACAN ( ON Appears side of Tacan numbers ) A good practice when learning with the tutorials is to get the CHUCK Guide and use it as reference ( PDF ). https://chucksguides.com/aircraft/dcs/fa-18c/, It is easy sometimes to miss a step. You can too at same time load guide on youtube. pause inside the game watch how then come back.
  4. Can't find anything on the subject right now, I remember have read something similar by the past, but im no sure it was about the SLAM-ER, could be french missiles. In case the plane is destroyed, an other plane can take the control. Really not sure. The only reference we got is it can ofc be controlled by the WSO or the pilot and this can be only a reference to this.
  5. Actually the difference is in the weight of the F variant, AGM-65B/D/H, 125 pounds (56.25 kilograms), AGM-65E/F/G/K, 300 pounds (135 kilograms)+ delayed-fuse penetrator. This made the difference of 2 to 3 Mav D can be put on an F15- F16-A10 Air force and only one by pylon of the F18C of the Navy . The point is for ships you want a larger warhead and more penetratrion. I don't think the IR sensors have much difference between both variant if only some few.
  6. In general when this happend i will just cage uncage it. ( at the moment the lock is on Tpod ). and if really this don^t do, redesignate on the Tpod ) Anyway, the multi-thread beta as reported have some bugs with some sensors, i have got some errratic results going.
  7. if you have change your monitor lately just check in the TrackIR profile, try create a new and check how it is working inside the app of TrackIR ( you have different screens for see how it is working )
  8. If you want i can cross the street here and go talk directly to them about you think, their office is just at 5 minute of my home In Lausanne Switzerland.
  9. Coming from A10 and a lot of practice with it, i really like more the Lightning, but honestly i think it is just personal preferences. As for contradict a bit myself, i can easely take down 4 moving target using the Tpod > Mav screen lock SOI > lock on Tpod again, but there's never any warranty to it, im just used to this procedure i think it is realistic this way. There's a good benefit, let say you can't shot or you miss, you still got the target locked in the Tpod, making things easy on the second pass. if you are unsure the Mav have lock on the right target, cage and uncage help. Not moving target but youi understand the idea: nullnull
  10. Let's imagine it dont be written as "early access". and say final so every little modification up will come as update, DLC or whatever ( dont paid update ) As all games do, you will like it better ? I think you put too much weight in the " early access phrase". My humble opinion
  11. I know this feeling. This is why i was so much in love with the A10... haha. it was really when the A10 just have been released from DCS, and honestly i don^t know if it was really realist, but it was just so much easy to take down a 8 units convoy with AGM. and whatch them hit one by one. and a little CBU 107 for for finish ?
  12. Ground moving target are not forcibly an easy task, never will be. First as i see in your mention, it need be tried sometimes 2-3-5 times for get the acquisition on the target you want, let say the first tank of a 4 convoy. at really far distance i generaly use the GMT radar for lock, make it designate the target, and for sure it will never be the first tank you want for stop the convoy but you have now a moving designation point. the second part is slew the lighting pod to the this designation. move on and find the first tank. depending the distance you will need maybe try 2-3 times for get it. as the radar is the designation point ( at contrario of a fixed waypoint (wupload) ), you can let it revert if you are not fast enough for move the TDC for slew ( sometimes it take the position of the "old designation" point as it is still in the GMT radar, but as it is still a moving point in the convoy, it is easy to try again lock your target. I have see the same thing as you describe about the "box" size who seems totally off sometimes ( really large or really too small for pick the tank ). The map marianas is a good example of how bad it can come when try pick up 4 target in a row with AGM in a coast road with cars, parking lot, and house all around the road. but im pretty sure it is realist, tpod are not a magic wand.
  13. For what i have understand you are using the offset and tdc is set as realistic ( depress for move ), meaning it redisgnate the target as you move the offset im just not sure the Mav cross should follow as it do. I let more
  14. Using right control + break key, does it tell you GPU bound ? im pretty sure your bottleneck your gpu, not the cpu. If you have a steady green gpu bound, you have the response.
  15. In mission editor yes, i think it is edited to the ground altitude value where is set the waypoint at the moment you enter a value under this level. However totally agree that the problem seems be the WP altitude for OP. The only other case where it can seeems look as described is if the Designation point is too far for the pod to see it and i will say zoomed in
  16. The airfield in Meiringen is really short, it even have rectractable arresting gear on both side, similar of what you find on US carrier for emergency mainly. or for the F5. It is completely surrounded by mountains. It use a cavern in the mountain for store equipements, personal and planes. I never use speadbrake and never get any problem at landing without it. Only do it if i need land on a really small airfield like you have some in the Sirya map ( and normally not intended for operation ). Just brake, release them and reactive them by short hit after wheels touchs the land and then let them do their work fully. For sure this is not the most strong brake you can find on jet, but they work totally good for even short airfield.
  17. I dont know why, but it seems don't want to install on my system even manually. I use the last openbeta, with one difference, it is a unpdated standard DCS software to openbeta with the windows command not a fresh install. skin theme work, but it is still the FA18C in mission editor. even after select liveries for the Superhornet. Same using OVGME
  18. The video is from Matt Wagner so yes im sure it use Track IR
  19. If everything is set correctly ( A/A mode, ARM ON and Hold 2 seconds for the missile to be released ) i suspect a bind key problem with your trigger or you use Weapon release instead of the trigger ? ( Missile and A/G weapons dont use the same button, key )
  20. Men you are overriding game setting by using your windows/system, something is wrong with your keyboard setting, not the game, you need to find the culprit but it is not DCS related it is your windows settings. If you press F2 or F5 and it open volume control it mean this key is not used as primary F key but for shortcut on windows setting, like brightness, volume control and it should not be . For help we will need more information as, what is the pc you are using ? hardware, operating system used etc....

    Q on FLIRs

    Its because pilots have been used to use the ATFLIR, same for the lightning 28 in other country or USMC or whatever. There's not really much difference between them. Same as DCS, if you used use the lightning ( A10 ) use it, if you are more used to ATFLIR use it. iT is just a question of continuity on how peoples are used to use it when fly.
  22. I will think like Trigati, look like you play on a laptop ? and thosese function are shortcut for your sound, brightness etc. so basically when you press thoses keys you seems enable the windows function key not the radio one.. It interfer with DCS Note you can click on the menu radio with mouse. just go over text and left click on your mouse
  23. Just for note, this is the exact same procedure you can use with the HUD SOI ( If no HMD enabled). and it work same for MAV ofc.
  24. I can imagine it is coming by using the Keyboard for fly, theres no return to center point with Keyboard, and it is really hard to find this 0 input point. hence you have allways an input making it really hard to maintain Balt, Now not sure it explain the wiggling
