All the modules would benefit from a possibility to edit radio presets in the Refuel/Rearmament-window (when on ground F8-F1)...

watching the DCS AH-64 video made me think we might see a lot more urban engagements with this module...

Probably we would need some performance diagrams to determine the specific MTOM for each current situation and all will be fine.

There were 6 in this famous clip. Which one would you prefer? While the 3rd may be the obvious choice, the 1st or the 4th one aren't that bad.

yeah, well, exactly. And this doesn't work. I suspect people believe it's working because they trim into an attitude stable enough to make them think the AP is doing it's job after activating the green AP button. In fact it doesn't change anything. They just interpret the ongoing flight path as managed by the AP while instead their trimming beforehand was just fine to gain this stability. Use route/course mode and then after activation turn that little heading dial some degrees away. After this, observe how there won't be any change in any of the trim indicator panels. Because they don't care for the set course.

So can you tell us which magic has to be applied? My AP even when green lit doesn't show any initiative to hold a heading steadily.

Ok, then I should probably leave it as is. I am pretty used to the unrealistic tension keeping of my feet when maintaining attitude flying the helos meanwhile. As I am doing pretty well controlling the Hind in slow and low hover situations and also often fly the jets, it seems like the minor issue, compared to those 20 screws. Thank you!

Well I know the limitations to obbey to get the green lights active on those buttons, but it doesn't really affect the flight attitude in any beneficial and constant way. Anybody got this working? I saw some yt videos and Chuck's guide, but it doesn't seem to work so far. Same goes for alt/speed modes...

How does this modification affect you flying jets and other stuff? I have these pedals myself and if you can give me an advice how to take out the spring, I would probably do it.

The "hide menu" function is available only in the "Mi-24P AI Menu" section. A "show menu" function isn't available anywhere. The "Show/hide menu" function is available only in the "Helper AI commands" category of the "Mi-24P Pilot" section. OpenBeta 2.7.6.13133

having the AP yaw channel activated (green light), switching to the Co-pilot/gunner's seat, pressing "2" and then returning to Pilot's seat with "1", yaw channel will be inactive (green light off). happens every time, easily reproducable OpenBeta 2.7.6.13133

yes, you are right, I will change the topic title again. I temporarily was under the impression that the current mode would affect the problem...

In this video you can see: 1. HUD is active SOI 2. TDC depress over that airfield 3. symbology switches to CCRP (AUTO) 4. I reaffirm CCIP in the stores 5. HUD and TGP switch to a moving target in 3 NM distance. It's the CCIP. I recorded cropped in 1080 resolution, as DCS is running on 4k and recording the whole screen would have caused a slideshow and a cockpit barely readable...

Thanks for the video man. As I can see you do designate a selected waypoint/mark point. Try that again without a point, only with a TDC designation.

CCIPTGP.trk I can't find this in the manual: 1. Is the delivery mode supposed to switch from CCIP to CCRP automatically upon designating a point? 2. When the HUD symbology switches to AUTO, there is still the CCIP program displayed in the stores 3. Reaffirming the CCIP mode in the stores drops the designated target, instead HUD, HSI and TGP are apparently following the CCIP solution. Is this intended?

Even then the HUD symbology automatically enters AUTO mode (CCRP). Btw it remains CCIP in the storage program of course. Whenever I did that (switching back to CCIP by re-confirming CCIP mode in the storage program, the designated point gets lost and HUD, the target symbol in the HSI and the TGP jump elsewhere. The TGP actually remains on my desired target in case it wasn't SOI the moment I reaffirm CCIP, yet it shows data of some other location and therefore a wrong distance. Edit: I just noted it works fine when I first designate my target, THEN activate A-G mode. If the A-G mode is active already while designating, the TGP returns into snowplow when I reaffirm CCIP. While having the CCIP cancelled for AUTO is mentioned on page 216, I have yet to find a confirmation that the TGP, HSI and HUD follow the CCIP impact cross.

As far as I understand the manuals, the IFA in the F/A-18 is not to be confused with the last resort In-flight-alignments you are mentioning. I also at first hesitated to accept IFA as the regular in flight regime for the Hornet's INS at first, as in my civil aviation life I know an in-flight alignment to be the least desired. Yet it seems in the Hornet the IFA is just an unlucky wording, in fact meaning an in-flight update. So the IFA dial position doesn't do an In-flight-alignment the way you intend to avoid, but essentially only presents the normal operating mode of your INS after doing the GND or CV alignment. You then make use of the HSI settings to specify, how the in-flight updating is processed.

Currently I am training A/G weapons delivery. As I intended to use CCIP, I wanted to designate an aim point, so a mark along the heading tape can guide me towards the correct azimuth before diving into the target below the HUD frame. Unfortunately the moment I press TDC, CCIP gets switched to AUTO.

Dang I should've downloaded it right away. I hope you don't have to change the intro music. It was perfect. Btw I'd be willing to pay 20% more if you get the heavy g breathing from the trailer into the game.

Don't worry. Use a credit card. The bank will pay for it. Don't care what might happen thereafter. Even if those bank clerks try to call you 24/7. It doesn't matter. You are in your new cockpit and they are not.

Honestly I have no idea why people feel entitled to suggest business models at all to a running franchise. It's not that a company running and expanding successfully since how long (2 decades?) could reasonably suspected to be lacking smart heads. They will certainly have enough folks aboard to keep their economic health in control, assumably including access to a cabinets full of financial viability studies and periodic budget reports. Then there come some dudes in the internet, offering them good ideas and advice. Really? It happens quite frequently of course. This is not a DCS-specific phenomenon. I guess it's just the internet. Everybody and their grandma can vent their "brilliant ideas" to the waiting audience.

post a track file

and/or fetch your next weapon launch from your left wing

Just checked my original box, copyright 1999, 2000. I didn't have internet back then

Meanwhile I had this happen on 2 other occasions. It's always in the end of my missions, where a track would be rather lengthy. I think it always happened after working with TGP and radar, switching between these two during weapon employments. Will keep an eye on that so that it might become reproducable...
