[Bombs drop problems]

11 hours ago, mdtenor22001 said:

I think the default fusing is the problem and that I was dropping the bombs too low. In the training mission, it instructs you to drop at 1000ft AGL (which, is probably way to low IRL). I don't think it had enough time to arm.  When I tried again and dropped at a higher altitude, the bombs exploded.  So, not an issue with the module (other than the training drop altitude should be set higher or the fuse set shorter). 

That's probably it then.

I can confirm that MK-82s are not consistently exploding when dropped.

I think there's an issue in DCS where an exploding bomb will destroy a bomb in flight.  So, one bomb may land but the other won't register an impact.  ED is responsible for the behaviour of all the weapons in the game so the problem would be on their end.

If you dropped the bombs with enough spacing, they would all register but this isn't ideal.

EDIT: Maybe this really isn't an issue.  I just tested Mk-82s but gave them a 0.25s nose fuze and they all impacted even in close proximity.

I'm not sure what I possibly did wrong last night over and over again, but when I tried it again just now, it worked. The only thing I can think is that I pressed the space bar before he got done talking last night, and this time I waited for a few beats before pressing space.  Worked as intended. Thank you!

Ya, the old space bar trap.  I think it's tripped up people in several modules.

Hey, Coolhand.

Ya, it was a bug introduced in the last patch unfortunately.  It should be fixed for the next patch.  You can still fire them if you just select one station at a time.

I hate to keep reporting bugs with the missions, but I just attempted the Air-to-Air training mission.

I tried the mission and didn't have any issues. Can you provide a track?

Ah, that makes perfect sense. Good catch!  

I remember Twitch streamer ShiftieMover having issues with wind and active runway and it just clicked in my head that this is probably the problem.

If it's not too much trouble to remove,that would be awesome. I'd definitely give it a try. But who knows what else is broken? 

Here you go.  The mission should advance 19 seconds after you're given instructions to adjust the knobs.  The 19 second timer was already there.  I just removed the other stuff.

Hi there,

I'm trialing the C-101 and am stuck on training mission #2 at the point where it says to select instrument arrival/departure and set the course, heading, and speed bug. I do all of that and it will not progress beyond that.  Track attached.

Thanks. I can already tell, after 30 minutes, there was a lot of love put into this module!

Oh, this one's a lot tougher.  Hard to decipher the values the logic should be looking for.  It doesn't do a simple check of speed, course, and heading.  I can send you a mission file with the check removed if you want.  Or you can wait for the devs to fix it.

With the change to the wind, the mission (the edited one you sent me) worked perfectly! ILS was exactly as expected and I took off in the right direction. I think you're right, it sent me off in the wrong direction the first time. Which is why some of the instructions didn't make much sense. This time, all worked exactly right and I passed the first time.

Good to hear.  I'll try to take a look at that other mission if I have some time.

Happy to report that training 5 (Flight Director) went perfectly, including the ILS, go-around, and visual landing.

I can try to adjust the wind. myself? It just requires choosing "run as administrator" when I launch? (I've never done that.)  So what direction and speed should I set the wind? Sorry to be such a noob.  I figured the ILS, at least, had to do with DCS deciding the active runway was different than the intended ILS runway. (When in doubt, I assume it is a DCS-introduced bug in a mission!)

If you're changing the original training mission, ya, just right-click on the DCS icon and select "run as administrator".  If your just changing my mission, you don't have to do that.

In the mission, just set the wind speed to zero.  No other changes needed.

Yes! Instrument takeoff and SID worked perfectly (and minimal griping by my instructor, but I did not fail).  However, when I tried the ILS approach, i could not ever achieve reception of the ILS. I confirmed my NAV radio was tuned properly (109.75) and I was aligned with the runway.  When I called Kutasi for landing clearance, it directed me to the opposite runway (my understanding is that there is only an ILS approach for RWy07.  Is it possible that the ILS was not broadcasting? I think I did everything right, but I'm going to try it again. I think I got all the instructor prompts along the way.

The ILS will only work if the active runway is 07.  But I think I know what's going on here.  It's a bug in DCS, not the mission.  The wind is set up to blow westward meaning you should have been set up to take off into the wind, i.e. to the east.  If that were the case, you wouldn't have taken off into that forbidden zone and you would have ILS on landing.  But because the wind is only 2 kts, DCS is deciding that you can take off and land to the west (for some reason) and that is messing everything up.  Do you want me to adjust the mission so that you takeoff and land in the right direction?

Or you could try editing the wind yourself.  It's very easy but you would have to open DCS as an administrator because the mission file is protected.

Thank you. I had trouble with training mission 2 (vfr flight) but the one that kept failing was training 4 (ifr takeoff).

So, were you able to take off in the IFR mission without failing in the mission I gave you?

I would really appreciate any advice on how to just do the trainings with the voiceovers without failing...just to get the training benefit. Unfortunately, I'm not really familiar with ME and the couple times I've tried,I've just gotten frustrated. So if you could share tips or even miz files, that would be great.

Here is a modded mission that removes that one failure.  I recommend saving the mission in your custom DCS missions folder "... \Saved Games\DCS\Missions" then open it as a regular mission instead of through the training interface.

That must be really long time ago. Are we talking about the same mission? The one you take off in heavy clouds, turn to the right and intercept a radial, then you turn around and fly back over the airport on another radial, (Kutaisi), then land. I bought the C-101 during the first free to play in 2020.

Cheers! 

Ya, I might be confused with Lesson 1 Basis Visual Flight.

I'm curious if training mission 4 (IFR flight) also has an issue with the failure parameters after a recent DCS change. 

I took a look at the training mission in the mission builder.  Logic seems a bit off to me.  There's a zone directly to the west of the airfield and the logic seems to say that if you enter this zone within 5 minutes of takeoff, you fail.  Seems like a guaranteed failure.  If you know how to edit missions in the mission builder, I can tell you which trigger to edit or delete to pass that part.  Or I can send you an edited mission file.

I had passed that mission a long time ago.  Maybe it has changed.

EDIT: In fact, I think it has changed because I'm pretty sure, when I flew it, I took off from Novorossiysk.

[Control Stick - 'Trim Cut'?]

14 hours ago, CPS_Bomber said:

Hi all,

Loving this little jet, but got a couple of questions.

Ya, I'm wondering if there are some inaccuracies in the manual.

I don't think the trim cut is functional on the control stick but there is a whole panel on the left side of the cockpit behind the throttle dedicated to emergency trim controls.  These would rarely be used so you probably don't want to bother binding them to your HOTAS.  Maybe keyboard bindings if you really want to practice emergency procedures.

Also, I don't think the PTT on the control stick is functional but there is a functional one on the throttle.  Just do a search for "Communications Menu" in the keybinds.

For the C-101CC, the Stick Go Around Button may not be clearly visible but there is a keybind for it - "Stick Go Around Button".  This is a flight director function for touch-and-gos.  There is also a keybind for Stick Touch Control System Button - "Stick Touch Control System Button" but I have no idea what it does.  Imagine not too important.

For Aerges modules, yes the liveries are country dependent by default.  But I know there is a way to hack the config files so that you see all liveries no matter what the country.

Not about radar, but since I am new to the module: is it correct that CF/EE doesn't have any official Iraqi camouflage?

I assume you mean CE/EE.  The CE does if you select to fly for Iraq.  The BE does as well.  The EE does not.  Would be nice if it did.

AUTO mode tries to give you a kinda CCIP solution.. works fine with the guns..not so with everything else.. for droping stuff or using rockets is prefered to set it to manual and set depresion MILS acording to bombing /rocket tables..

AUTO is strictly for air-to-air deflection shooting.  It has no air-to-ground CCIP capability.  As you said, manual mode should be used for air-to-ground delivery, including air-to-ground guns.
