Don't use the spray. It made it worse for me. Incidentally, my stick had become unplayable, because with age, the rear part of the rim wears flat, therefore increasing the surface contact area. Sticking had become intollerable. I removed the spring and replaced it with bungees, which cured it, but was only good for helicopters, so I compromised with my present setup. Sticking is now non existant. .. ..

I removed detent. Easy job. Reduced pressure on cup by cable tying top coil, mainly for helicopter operation, but now use it for everything. Apply liberal application of silicon grease on rim and especially shaft. There is no sticking whatsoever. Rub finger around rim and up and down shaft before every use. (to spread grease). Give clean and reapply grease occasionally. My stick is better than new after many years of use. I believe the pro has a metal cup, which can only be better. ..

The in game RN28 isn't animated as such, but it does slow down on descent, as if retarded and hits the ground around 300 kts. By intent or bug, these bombs are noware near as good as they use to be. ..

If you destroy 30N6 radar, it will render the whole site dead. You can plink away at the rest at your leisure. I usually have medium and short range defence for the Grumble, to prevent this happening. ..

That's a timely result. All they need to do now, is link it to the TOO and finish that problem off. ..

You don't say what resolution you are useing, but this is what I use (1080p). Application control. Fast sync. DCS settings, full, except civ traffic off, blur off. MSAA, 2.0. SSAA 1.5. 4 MSAA gave poor results, but the above eliminated the jaggies. Screen is smooth, no stutter, good shadows, but then I never play campaigns, which might give a hard time to frames. Quote} "Also, further parts pf the scenery looks very blurry and jaggy" } UnQuote. Make sure you have, depth of field/motion blur, turned off. ..

Up tp 5000' is correct, but it should be limited to pitch and roll, + - 45 deg. ..

The radar alt is reading constant at any attitude, including inverted. ..

It works OK in stable. Changes from Radar to Baro at 5000'. Does it not work in beta? ..

Yes, I'm pretty sure Starforce was the problem. Attempting to load other old games, e.g. GTL, Starforce would prevent loading. FC1 on the other hand, allowed game loading on the HDD and inserted a small file on the SSD. From that point on, SSD wasn't seen by the O/S. The solution was, bin the old 120gb SSD, buy a 500 gb SSD and put a new O/S on it. The HDD failed about a week later, but I think that was coincidence. On the plus side, I now have a nice clean pc. ..

I find the hardest helio to take off and land, without useing the cyclic, is the Mi-8, followed by the Huey, then the Shark followed by the Gazelle. The Spitfire was definitely the biggest headacke landing, until the Harrier came along and I still can't crash with any dignity onto the Tarawa, so I gave up. Maybe the Hermes will be better. ..

I don't use it for Mavericks either. I guess it's just a switch that doesn't work quite like it's supposed to. Or maybe you just don't need it, as C O says. ..

It's certainly doable in game. I've never touched the cooling switch. Does it actually do anything? ..

My 1st encounter, after a lay up, with the mighty "Hermes" and my favourite airplane. My thanks to joey45, for the perfect complement to the Harrier. ..

I'll be well pissed, if all the whiners here, cause a VEAO type meltdown, because their switch doesn't work and the Harrier is consigned to history, alongside the Hawk and nobody will be able to use it, more importantly me and my most used aircraft. ..

I'm re-installing at the moment, after a SSD/HDD double failure. New C and D drive. All progs wiped out. New win 10 O/S install. D/L DCS (33 gb). Install automatically to "C". D/L modules and activate in turn on the install page. All very straight forward. :). ..

Hold the pickle button down, untill the first drop is completed. ..

This question has come up a few times. Here's one of them. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=174732 I have a preferance for the retarded OFABs. They are not pinpoint bombs. They spread out very quickly and cover a wide area. Drop them from low altitude, (below 250'). Look down the nose to aim, you can't miss. Full power and drop the lot in a sequence, either straight and level or a low level pop up. GL. ..

"C" drive SSD O/S failure. Reference. PC completely dead. (2 days trying to kiss life into it). Installed. New 500 gb SSD. £53. New 10 pro O/S £12. New net dongle £5. O/S installed on new SSD "C" drive. DCS still works on "D" HDD drive, but all Saved games file entries lost from C drive. Missions, tracks, screenies, etc, all gone. Switch Assignments lost for X-52. Repair/Update lost for DCS. Programs on 3 HHDs still work, but are not recognised by the O/S. (register lost). Steam. 24 games, most needed work. 2 don't work. Warthunder, WoWS, work OK. D/L Logitek driver for X-52. X-52 pinky switch shift. No. 6 is the pinkie. You have to assign it in the Saitek programmer before it will work in DCS. Open profile editor, switch to grid view. Delete the Mode 1 + Pinkie, Mode 2 + Pinkie, Mode 3 + Pinkie. Save the profile with a name and close. Enable the saved profile for DCS. This will enable your pinkey to be used as a modifier in DCS. (It sometimes gets corrupted with updates). Downloading DCS to SSD. ( about 20 hours plus). HTTP failed with 4 gb to go. (85083.077 ERROR: Server capacity may be limited at the moment. Please, try again later).. Tranferred to the slower torrent load, (desparately slow). Torrent ground to a halt, so back to HTTP @ 350kbs. This is hard work! Can the plane modules be transferred from "D" to "C" or do they need to be downloaded aswell? This question has now become academic, as the "D" HDD has just failed, wiping out all of my remaining games (about 40 including 24 Steam). Plus all the other stuff that makes up 800 gb. DCS download complete. About 26 hours. Now starting Harrier download . 966 mb. Installation was faultless. No activation required. DCS opening time now about 16 seconds. With 1 mod (Harrier) installed, everything is zip fast, compared to what I've been use to. Added Spitfire and L39. Apart from long DCS download, (my slow net), everything has been very easy to install. At ingame opening screen. Modules list: choose which Install, to start download. Installed list: Click, serial number/clipboard/DRM/activate/. Took about a month to get most stuff back and installed, mostly from backups. ..

A warning to anybody tempted to try installing FC 1 on windows 10. With 'Lock On' installed for many years, I decided to try it with FC1 added. After completing the installation, it required a restart, (funny I thought). It restarted with an, Automatic Repair, running, which finished with 'Automatic Repair couldn't repair your pc'. The O/S is completely dead. Not a sausage, including all USB ports. This means that I can't click on the 'Advanced Options' because no mouse. What to do! I've run out of ideas, so I've ordered a new OS and SSD, hoping this will get me going again. Installing FC1. DON'T DO IT. Update: Maybe just a coincidence, but the SSD with operating system had died. ..

The DMT doesn't zoom, only the Maverick seeker. ..

It's a legacy from "Lock On" 2003. ..

Checking my F-86 vids from 2015 against today, showed no change whatsoever at all power settings, from 64% to 100%. So there is no drift over time. It simply remains, that fuel flow is too low at the power settings that I've checked, mainly in the max loiter/range area. E.G. 30000' 74% 1200pph (0800pph). 35000' 77% 1100pph (0900pph). It gets more accurate the higher you go. As I'm only really interested to see if the Harrier fuel flow inaccuracy is unique, I conclude that it isn't. ..
