For a long while we couldn't use TACAN Y for the tankers. Now I see that working but for some reason I'm not getting Call Sign up in the HUD? Also the HSI is displaying Bearing information, and CallSign even though I don't have TACAN boxed. Has something changed recently? Thanks Menessis

Thanks Frost

Hello Silver. So Zoom Normal is the num pad enter. Is this what you are talking about? Menessis

I'm trying to setup the FOV (not zoom or Snap Views) for each aircraft. The goal is to be able to smoothly see the cockpit correctly using my TIR . I get it looking good but can't seem to save it. R CTRL + Pause Break brings up the specs on screen. The FOV value there doesn't change as I make realtime changes. So I guess I'm missing something here. I hope there is a solution! Thanks Menissis

While using the 154a's and setting up the HT I see new parameters. I have looked for info about the use of the Heading and Velocity settings. Can't seem to find anything. Is this not implemented yet? Thanks Menessis

I'm using the right shift and right Ctrl along with the / and* on the num pad to move my head position forward and aft. I can't figure out if it saves that info with R Alt + num 0 or not.

Thanks RazorBack. I have that on. After a lot of tinkering I think it has to do with how I am seated when I tap the button to re center my TIR?

While trying to tweak my head position and my Track IR profile I found out that the "R ALT + Num 0" isn't saving the settings. I get back in next time and I'm sitting all the way back again. So what's the trick?

My comms switch is sticking. Any way to lube it and what to use? Menessis

I did figure it out by going through something I had hit upon a few days earlier. I comes down to the order in which the way point actions are put in, ie "bomb" can't come before "reaction to threat" otherwise they must bomb before they do the next instruction. Menessis

Hey Habu_69..Thanks for the helpful tip. The thing is I did search it and came up with very little. Maybe you can help me with my searches?

Hi Nealius. I used your numbers along with setting the bombers to Evade if shot at. They will fly the route and bomb the target. BUT! if I have a even a hint of a SAM they fly the route, fly right over the target, drop chaf and flares but no bombs! The SEAD mission was in support of the bombers using the new PB mode. We have flown it where not one SAM is fired but no bombs are dropped. Menessis

So what's the trick? Bomber at 20k, 20 nm from target. And another steer point 10 nm beyond the target all in a straight line. The bombers dive in one time. Fly flat and level the next. Make crazy "S" turns for no reason. Do everything but a barrel role or drop bombs! I renamed the miz file and stripped everything out but the bombers and my F-18 SEAD flight. I did get them to work there. But not consistently. Then I did the exact same set up back in the original but no luck. They fly right over the target, drop chaf and flares and keep right on going. I am about to test this idea out. Any ideas? Menessis

I have been wondering about the way a tanker behaves. Is it realistic to have a tanker cut short a race track pattern to suit a an incoming flight? i played around with some triggers and a 4 steer point pattern. The idea is if I approach the tanker track the tanker will turn 180° and role out in front of me. So I made use of a moving 100000’ trigger zone on the tanker that had it change from steer 2 to steer 4. I was kinda excited when I tried it the tanker began a 5 nm left turn ! But it was short lived when it came through 90° and the reversed the turn into a 270° right turn! I tried tweeking a bunch of things to fix it. Stretched the pattern from 6 to 9 did get it to work once! But only if my flight was no where near it. I wonder if the AI code has a feature to keep it from doing this? Menessis
