If both the C-101CC and the advanced flight model are released at some point, sure.

I gotta say, the Spitfire sounds much better now than when I last flew it. Great job on the sound design!

I'll live, guys, don't worry. :)

Hey guys, My current work schedule is a bit crazy at the moment, so I honestly haven't had time to spend on the Harrier guide or DCS at all. When things start to cool down a bit, I'll start to work on it. Sorry about that, but you'll have to rely on Razbam's Pocket Guide and youtube tutorials for now. Chuck

If it's for personal use only, sure. Keep in mind that some of them may require a re-work like the Mirage's.

Unfortunately I won't have time to work on it until January. Too busy with real life stuff at the moment.

A good way to help you would be if you posted a video or a text description of exactly what you're doing. We can then help you pinpoint where the issue could be.

It's okay, mate, we've all been there at some point. For the Spitfire: I would refer you to this page: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=135765 Download the Spitfire guide and look at pages 53 and 54. The first step is to remove gun safety (it's there to prevent you from accidentally firing your guns if you press the fire button by mistake) by setting the Gun Safety Lever to OUT FIRE (LSHIFT+SPACEBAR). The second step is to press the “FIRE MACHINEGUNS AND CANNONS” button (SPACEBAR key). These controls can be mapped on your joystick. You can look at page 20 for a closer look at the gun safety mechanism on the stick. For the Huey: For the Huey, I would advise you to download the Huey guide, which is located at the same link I sent you for the Spitfire. I detailed the start-up procedure at pages 42 to 45. Pay special attention to step 32 on page 44, which is positioning the throttle in the correct position just a little bit under IDLE-STOP. This step is often overlooked in youtube tutorials. Also, make sure that you press the correct key for the "starter button" (which is if I recall correctly called "START-UP ENGINE" in the controls menu. Some people have it mapped to HOME, others to PageUp... just make sure that you have the binding mapped to something that you know. Quick and dirty tutorial for the Huey engine start. For the Huey weapons, check page 72 and 73 for guns and rockets. There are three switches you need to set before firing the guns: the gun selection switch (RIGHT/LEFT/ALL GUNS SELECTOR), the weapon selector switch (2.75/7.62, which are for 2.75 inch rockets and 7.62 mm guns) and the arming switch (there should be a red light when the guns are armed). Make sure that your guns are selected, that the gun selection switch is set to ALL, that the weapon selector switch is set to 7.62, and that the arming switch is ON. Once you have that, you can fire using the "PILOT WEAPON RELEASE / GUN FIRE" key. You need to have that mapped in your controls. My memory is hazy, so the term could have changed. Usually it's mapped to spacebar or something like that.

Hurray! It did indeed seem like a control input issue.

That's very unlikely. People very rarely use rudder assistance since it instigates funky behaviours on takeoff.

A screenie for those of us that are far away from our home PC? :D

What bbrz said. There is also a real life manual available on Avialogs. You can also consult this resource for newcomers who want a smoother learning curve: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=171646

I may have glossed over this a bit quickly, but basically you set the radar altimeter knob to 0 in order to reset the alarm. Sometimes you need to play or wiggle a bit with it before you set it to 0 in order to remove the alarm light that pops up during the self-test. Once the light is extinguished, you should be able to set your "radar altitude alarm height" without problem. Check this video at 2:30. The Radar Altimeter does a self-test, you hear the beep, and then you need to reset the knob as shown to get rid of the warning light.

:megalol:

Mostly every page in the weapon employment section. Typos. I also want to add a link to the RWR sounds. http://www.viggentools.se/

You're most certainly not. ;)

https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=179290 See pages 6, 20 and 54 of the guide.

Keep in mind: "Chuck's guide" for the Mirage is outdated and may contain mistakes, especially in the weapon employment part.

Dang... sorry 'bout that. I'll get it updated once the Mirage design is frozen.

Keep in mind: most radio encryption procedures are classified. Most radio systems in DCS are approximations of the real thing that are built for use within the scope of a simulation in lieu of real life training.

You can do some research on the Dowding system, which is the first effective GCI (Ground Controlled Interception) system used by a modern air force during World War II. Dowding System: http://www.iwm.org.uk/history/what-was-the-dowding-system Also, for the german side: The Dowding system was used even during the Vietnam war to great effect. The philosophy of interceptor aircraft was simple: go where the ground control tells you to as quickly as possible, find your target, fire, get the hell outta dodge. Regarding aircraft radars, the first versions I heard of were fitted on night fighters.

Happy Birthday!

@cichlidfan: When talking about real life documentation for a modern (70's and later) Mirage, finding what's missing is anything but easy... especially with Dassault documentation. What's available to the public is close to nothing. France's DoD is much more secretive than it seems.

I'm aware the guide is outdated, I heard you the first few times already, I'll update it once the new Razbam patch for the Mirage is out, not before. FYI: my guides aren't meant to be exhaustive to the point of replacing the official manuals produced by the developer in any capacity. If you're unhappy with what I made, you're free to come up with your own material and produce something better on your own personal time.

Nope, nope, and nope. I don't have the slightest interest in FC3 aircraft.
