Advice appreciated. I figured I would not find the parts I want before the new year, anyway. I am now thinking Ryzen 7 or 9 CPU and Nvidia GPU. Tom's Hardware has some interesting test results and I am sure more will be coming.

Ttime to upgrade my old PC rig for Reverb G2 and DCS. Debating over Intel I9-10900 and RTX 3080 OR Ryzen 9 5900X and RX 6800XT. Leaning towards the AMD system for its reported single-core performance, but have read much grumbling about AMD drivers. Anyone wish to advise me?

Can surface radar, without TGP, be used to designate an R/BL mode target for Harpoon?

1. Suggest you start learning how to use the mission editor. 2. The DCS User Files has dozens of training missions peeps have uploaded. 3. A free mod made by 79th has dozens of range objects for use by mission creators.

For what purpose? Templates of static objects can be created for reuse. You can create a template of a great many statics, then move them and delete the ones you don't want for a particular mission. You can use the multi-select function to move and delete, etc.

Hey, yeah, Taz. Great mod, but could you make it so the smoke density and persistence varies with changing relative humidity and ambient air temperature? Change colors to accurately reflect the actual wavelength of light as the sun changes height above the horizon? Vary the color saturation in accordance with cloud shadows? Make the steam dispersion patterns reflect the air currents that occur when a deck hand walks through them? I have never been on a real aircraft carrier; but I fly one on DCS and the current catapult steam vapors just don't look right to me.

Uncertain whether this applies, but.....all Cougar sticks ship with a bit of center slop resulting from poor fit of the stick shell to the main gimbal shaft. The stick shell actually has a bit of loose wabble about the shaft. The shell is secured to the shaft inside the shell by a semi-circular bracket and 2 bolts, one through the shell exterior and one inside the shell. A small flat aluminum shim on the interior bolt at the bracket hole will eliminate that source of center play.

Probably should take this to Moose Discord for help. I assume you have read the Moose User Guide?? As for general help, why not dynamically spawn both objects and zones, or only the zones, as the objects themselves may be superfluous. The only practical method of triggering time-related actions is by means of a scheduler, either scripted or ME-triggered, both of which employ an API scheduler.

Any log errors?

I believe F/A-18C has a force sensor stick like the F-16 does, so the stick has very little actual translation or travel. I have read such sticks require considerable force for full deflection, like 25 lb.

My experience is that Shader Mod will pass IC as it did previously. That is, it fails initially, but on restarting DCS it passes.

Is there a .lua file that controls the HMD preferences?

To change the direction of this thread....has anyone found any circumstances necessitating changing from the default displayed contacts priorities? When would one need to use the other HMD page options??

Check the Mods forum?

After some fiddling with SnapViews I settled on this. ​

How much nose/radome should be visible at the correct seat height? Currently I can see the 5 vanes and just a bit of the radome itself. Anyone have a photo of the correct view?

Check out PointCTRL device thread in this Input/Output topic. Just point to any cockpit switch with your finger and activate it. Functions flawlessly with VR. With HOTAS, Voice Attack and PointCTRL, I never use the keyboard.

At higher altitudes mach number provides a better indication of ground speed than does AIS.

I believe the point is that the main group task generally over-rides waypoint tasks, so a CAS main task commands the group to attack detected ground units. Work around this limitation by choosing a main task (some experimenting may be needed), then give the group initial weapons hold and no reaction to threat waypoint tasks.When near the desired targets, assign appropriate ROE, threat and attack waypoint tasks. This is sort of a black science.

If the attack group's main task is SEAD, they will attack any AD unit they detect, regardless of waypoint tasks.

I have not installed Target. After I manually calibrate the Cougar my CCP app initially looks like yours; however, if I close, then reopen, the CCP I can find no calibration file. Can you? If so, what is path to your files?

I thought JTAC could send by Link 16 target coordinates directly to A-10 SA display.

You should be able to use the TGP and surface radar to set 2 markpoints defining the path of a road.

Launching CCP in Admin mode makes no difference and the only relevant folder on Programs Files (x86) is Target. I see the saved calibration files in the Cougar\Calib folder, but the calibration file window in CCP is always blank.

Copy the Bazar and Config folders into the main DCS install folder (not Saved Games).
