[Chuck's Guides - DCS Tutorial Library]

Thanks for all your hard work Chuck.

However i am trying to download the A-10C guide and it says the page is unavailable.

 

 

[Looking to start a UK/EU Carrier group]

Sent you a PM

[Change Slew rate of TGP]

Thanks. That sorted it.

[Best setting to reduce flickering of coastlines and fences.]

Hi

 

Having an issue where fences around airfields etc and coastlines flicker a lot at a distance and not when zoomed in.

Any recommended settings to remove that?

I've added my current settings and also system specs.

 

Here is a sample video

[Change Slew rate of TGP]

Hello

 

After a long absence i cannot remember where on the MFD's i can change the slew rate of the TGP.

Anyone throw me a bone here please?

 

Thanks

[Upper limit for cloud base]

Hi

 

In the ME my cloud base has a maximum of 8268ft.

Why is that please?

 

Thanks

[Is there a training campaign?]

HI is there an official or even unofficial good training campaign for the Hornet out there?

 

Thanks

[[CORRECT AS IS] ILS for Airfield don't work with Hornet?]

Hi

 

Am i right in saying the ILS codes the Hornet use are only for landing on Carriers and only 2 digits as opposed to the traditional airfield ones i used to use in the A-10C? Therefore you can't use ILS to land at Airfields??

 

Thanks

[Tanker not appearing on Comms Menu]

Hi

I want to try refuelling in the Hornet and have Easy Communications disabled.

 

The Tanker in the ME automatically has a channel of 251Mhz and when i set my Comms radio to this using the manual button and bring up the Comms Menu the Tanker does not appear.

 

I have also changed the Tanker freq to 151Mhz and setup channel1 to be 151Mhz in the ME.

Again the Tanker does not appear in either comms menu.

 

Why not?

 

Thanks

[Changing HUD back to Nav Mode]

Maybe being thick, but I am accidentally pressing the AIM-7 button on my Thrustmaster Hornet Joystick. When that happens I press the same AA buttons and the ones next to it on my HOTAS and although it cycles AA weapons I cannot get it back to NAV mode. However I can press the AA button the on the left of the cockpit and it goes back to NAV mode. Why can't I go back to NAV mode using the HOTAS?

[Changing HUD back to Nav Mode]

Hi

 

Accidentally turned on A/A mode and can't seem to change back to NAV mode.

How do i do this please?

 

Thanks

[Knowing which end of Runway to approach?]

Thanks Guys.

[Plotting a range and distance on the HSI]

Hi

 

Very new to the Hornet.

 

Is there any way to quickly mark a point on the HSI based on distance and bearing called by ATC to go towards in order to setup approach??

 

Thanks

[Knowing which end of Runway to approach?]

Hi

 

Sorry for being thick here.

 

When flying East from West towards an Airfield that has it's runways on a perfect 90 and 270 degrees then obviously in that case i'm gonna approach on a course of 90. I understand that ok.

 

However in this simplified examplewhen approaching from say North to South how do i know which end of runway to approach? The West or East End?

Do i contact the tower and they will tell me where to fly to and where to approach from?

Or do i use a TACAN if available? Am i also right in saying a TACAN station only is for approaching 1 end of the runway and therefore there is no choice of approach direection?

 

Hope that makes sense.

 

Thanks

[Looking for European group with older (over 50) pilots]

Hi

 

I'm 50 and from Scotland.

Have most modules including F/A-18 and Supercarrier.

I'm interested in flying casually, but doing things well and would like to learn to fly the Hornet better with friends.

So i am interested if English Speaking.

 

Thanks

[Anyone willing to help me with Landing/Angle of Attack]

Just managed a bit flying since last post.

Still struggling. It's a game of 2 halves. The first half is when the engines go back to idle and landing gear and flaps down.

The second half is when eventually I manage to get On Speed.

The second half i am getting better at.

However the first half is my issue. When my throttles go to idle, gear and flaps down i struggle with the nose lifting so high. In this video I'm having to push the stick forward quite hard before the engines drop enough power for the nose to drop. And then the nose then drops quite severely and I then have to throttle and pitch up.

 

What's the best method to stop or at least manage these nose swings?

 

Thanks

 

Video attached.

 

 

Thanks

[Flaps]

Thanks all

[Flaps]

Yes, but almost as critical as Flaps when launching from a carrier, is the T/O Trim:

 

The Take-Off trim button will set a standard 12° of Nose Up, appropriate for shore Take-Offs, but on a Carrier you should manually increase this value as per the following:

 

16° Nose Up trim at weights up to 44,000 pounds.

 

17° at weights between 45,000 to 48,000 pounds.

 

19° at weights above 49,000 pounds.

 

If you don't know the weight of your aircraft, you can see it on the CHKLST (Checklist) Page of the SUPT (Support) DDI Menu.

 

 

Thanks Rudel. If you don't mind me asking how can you tell your Trim Up %?

[Flaps]

And take off is Half Flaps and Landing Full Flaps yes?

[Flaps]

Hi

 

What is Auto Flaps for and when should it be used as opposed to half and full flaps?

 

Thanks

I messaged him earlier, but no reply yet.

[Anyone willing to help me with Landing/Angle of Attack]

Starting to improve.

The last 4 tries i always lose the first half of the flight, but always keep the donut for the second half.

I'll keep at it.:)

 

[Anyone willing to help me with Landing/Angle of Attack]

Thanks again for all replies. I will learn better throttle control

[Anyone willing to help me with Landing/Angle of Attack]

Thank you Diesel.

 

Much appreciated!

[Anyone willing to help me with Landing/Angle of Attack]

Ok Guys. Here's my problem.

Critique away in a constructive fashion please.

I know it's not pretty.
