I am setting all of the switches and rotary to the proper position. But let´s say I forget to set one or some of them, ejecting the pylon shouldn´t be the answer to this fault, right? The real problem here is that the pylon is being ejected everytime I press the weapons release button. And this is not the procedure to eject the weapons. According to the manual, I HAVE to pull the EMERGENCY Stores Release Handle to have this behavior (after selecting the station).

I´m having serious problems on iron bomb dropping lessons. I´m following the procedures according the manual and from several youtube tutorials, but I shall be doing something wrong. I´am trianing with the Caucasus A-4E-C Bomb Trucking mission (that came along with the mod), and the payload is only of MK 82 bombs (1 bomb , on stations 1 and 5, 3 bombs on stations 2 and 4 , and 6 bombs on station 5). I´m selecting 2 bombs to the AWRS selector, 110ms in the drop interval selector and STEP SINGLE on mode selector (the most basic configuration possible). After arming only station 5 (and all the other selectors - master arm, bomb arm switch, weapon function selector), I press the release button, and the entire rack falls off (similar to an emergency jettison)! I understood the emergency jettison procedure, but I never touched neither the Emergency Release Selector Switch nor the Emergency Stores Release Handle! Am I doing something wrong or this is a bug (in the mission or in the mod)?

First of all, congratulations! We´re having a streak of very well conceived and built mods lately. Your plane is gorgeous! One single question: the plane is constantly moving in idle condition, and I need to keep brakes applied all the time (until is time to move, of course). Is this behavior normal?

Luiz, por algum motivo não estou conseguindo transportar para o segundo monitor as portas dos displays, como conseguia na versão anterior. Quando volto para a versão 0.1.7, os displays voltam a aparecer no segundo monitor. Eu não sou especialista em programação mas vi que voce mexeu nos scripts do cockpit CMFD (creio que sejam os displays, certo?) comparando arquivos da versão 0.1.8 com a versão 0.1.7. Voce poderia ver o que está impedindo de transportar os displays ports para o segundo monitor?

Dear Chuck Thanks for the effort. It´s much appreciated by the entire community. But I´m a little confused about JSOW/JDAM procedure related to the QTY OSB. Is it necessary? I never used it, and several videos (Spudnocker, Grim Reapers, Overkill, Redkite and several other serious DCS enthusiasts) teach the procedure without mention the use of this function. Or it is outdated?

Got it! Opened it, cleaned and it is working like a charm! THX.

Exactly! Thank you very much! Just another dumb question: do you know where are located the potentiometers that control the lateral movements? I mean, because i can´t get full extension to the left I believe cleaning the potentiometers I´ll solve the problem. Of course, it can be they´re faulty/broken. Then this will be another journey to hell......

I believe I´m having some serious problem with my rudder pedals. I can´t have full extension to the left, and I read it could possibly be something related to the potentiometers. I tried to remove the bottom plate, to clean the interior. After removing a myriad of screws on the edges, something is still preventing me to access the interior of the rudder. The center of the bottom plate is still stuck and I am afraid to force to open it, an break the plate (it is plastic!). I tried to find some youtube video showing the procedure, but no joy! Any pictures, video or instructions?

Well, when I´m playing DCS (because this is a game, right?), I´m relaxed at home, in comfortable clothes, no watches, with some snacks (beer sometimes) on the table....I´m not a real pilot, you know? I´m not in uniform, G-suits, boots....And for sure, no watches.....

So that´s the RL procedure....And I learned the wrong way since day one.....I cant tell you, it worked on the ground in the past. Every time I had to use TOT procedure, I set the parameters, before taking off...And I had the HUD to help me out to check the numbers...No problem....

Is this gears up/down behavior new? Now when the gears are up, I can see the ZTOD, but I remember I could set TOT on the ground before taking off (gears down), and could check the time on the HUD. Now it seems I need to be in the air to do that....

I tried.....I knew how to do that before today´s patch (HSI, TIMEUFC, box/unbox it). Now is not working ....

Ok for me with the answer for the second part of the question (although I don´t understand why there is an option to do that on UFC), but the firs part of the question (ZTOD is not working) is still unanswered.

I can´t get the time displayed on the HUD. IS this a bug, or the procedure changed? An when we´re gonna get the option to have Local Time on HUD?

Is this the real deal? Or just some shortcut for the bug? I mean, will this behavior be fixed in future hotfixes/updates?

I made an acronym mistake. I already made the correction on the original post. Of course I´m using LTD/R. Based on your answer you´re not having this problem, right? Have you tested this missile on the new update?

I´m having some problems with MAV E (Laser guided), and I´d like to know if this is the real behavior or some bug: 1- After everything ready to shoot (target designated on FLIR, MAV uncaged and locked to the target, distance less than 6 nm), I still can´t get the cross out of the MAV symbol on HUD. So I press once the weapons release button, and then the cross disappears, so I press again an get the shoot. Is that the right procedure? 2 - After the first shoot, return FLIR as SOI, acquire a second target, turn LTD/R ON again, but the second MAV is already uncaged, and even pressing the cage uncage button (turn again MAV DDI as SOI), can´t get the missile caged anymore. And worst it doesn´t lock on the target (as acquired in FLIR). I have to unselect MAV on Store page, and turn it on again to get the target acquisition. So I press twice the weapons release button to get the shoot (first to erase the cross and the second to shoot).

Is there something wrong about A/G gun? No way of getting hits on the targets....Like I said in title, gun rounds impact somewhere around the top of the piper.... Anyone is having the same problem?

+1... Except that stock A/G gun has the same behavior....Is there something wrong about the A/G gun?

HARPOON HPTP I´m noticing a very odd behavior on Harpoon´s launches when I use HPTP option. I set properly the weapon´s Search, DSTR and BRG options, and a turning point (HPTP). When I launch Harpoon, it goes straight to the final bearing, instead of going to the TP AND THEN turn to the bearing.....IS it a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

That's the joystick and throttle set. You have a lot of buttons, sliders, hats on them, and you have to bind commands to them, so you don´t need to take your hands off the control set to access some commands. HOTAS means Hands On Throttle And Stick.

Yep! That´s what I mean! Unfortunately, I couldn´t do anything else, to check if there are some other bugs, because the GPU was attached to the acft.

Landing and taxi lights are weird. They´re on, but pointing to the ground an not to the front of the acft…..And the ground crew is unable to turn off ground power.....

I am not getting contact with assets (tower, tanker, awacs), when using a FC3 plane. Of course I can set frequencies, talk to my buddies on these frequencies, but... Can´t contact with tower, for instance, like I use to do when I fly F-18. And got Server, VOIP symbols in the SRS window in green, but Game not. Is this the right procedure? I really can´t contact with tower using SRS and a FC3 plane?

What about L 39? Can it be a good substitute for the Aviojet C 101? I mean, it has TACAN, ILS (IFR) too....
