By default HOTAS > WP Increment = RWin+W I've added LWin+W and a button on my throttle as additional options.

Did you bind the Left and Right MPCD "Export" keybinds in the controls settings (by default they are unbound and place the exported screens in the top left and right corners of the screen). Note: I don't have a multi-monitor setup, so it's just guess that they might be needed for exporting to a 2nd screen.

correct as is TACAN/HSI heading on catapult launch?
Ramsay replied to Topper81's topic in Bugs and Problems
This is not the heading of the aircraft. Syria, 2016 MagVar = +5°E [from HSI>Data>A/C] • The Super Carrier is travelling 220°T (215°M) [from F10 map, external info bar] • On the catapult, the aircraft heading is 214°T (209°M), this is also the heading shown by the info bar. 209°M is confirmed by the HUD's heading tape when in the catapult. Your programmed TACAN course is 214°M i.e. to the right of your current heading. This is how it looks diagrammatically -
Yes, see the text overlay at 1 min 23 sec. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vhCVgJwMFw&t=83s There are currently ~79 community made Yak-52 skin packs in "User Files" https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/type-is-skin/unit-is-yak-52/apply/

The 3D modelling and sounds seem on par with ED's other warbirds, it's just let down by some incomplete systems modelling and FM tweaks. I'm not sure what you mean by liveries as it only comes with a couple of Russian skins and other countries get bare metal, thankfully there are some good user made skins that fix ED's omission. With that said, I prefer the Yak-52 to the CE II in terms of finished quality, however I don't fly either of them very much. Obviously I don't represent the "community", so this very much just personal opinion: • It adds to DCS's limited "civil/training" roles but is not something I can easily recommend unless you "must" fly this class of plane and DCS is your preferred/only sim platform. • The free TF-51D is better in nearly all respects to the Yak-52 (other than ease of use) and was what I used for basic prop training (I had planned to buy a second copy but ED never finished the module). • If interested in buying the Yak-52, I suggest waiting for a sale as it has a limited role in DCS and is a very low priority in terms of ED's dev resources, etc.

Mission list in Quickstart folder not showing in game missions
Ramsay replied to sobe's topic in Bugs and Problems
Quick Start Missions are listed under "Instant Action", that's why you can't find them in Missions. Tested DCS Open Beta 2.7.5.10869 -
IFF in it's common meaning doesn't effect you, the AV-8B Night Attack doesn't have a radar, so doesn't have an IFF interrogator to quiz other aircraft if there're friend or foe. It does have a IFF transponder to reply to interrogations from other aircraft but in DCS, that's coalition (Blue/Red) based and isn't modelled other than the panel being shown in the cockpit. IFF in the Harrier means - using the RWR, TPOD, eyes, F10 map/briefing, etc. to identify targets before opening fire.
-
No, I like helping people and it gives me little puzzles to investigate/solve while keeping current with the Harrier. Please feel free to make a bug report linking back to this thread.

I'm not sure why the Mariana map and Su-33 failed to authorise (In my log the Mariana map authorises and the Su-33 is skipped due to FC3). I do note from your log file that the Windows page file is smaller than I'd expect ... so suggest increasing it to 16384 MB or larger Windows 10 > Settings > search: performance > Adjust Appearance and Performance of Windows > Advanced [tab] > Virtual Memory --> CHANGE
-
I see the same problem, it seems the TPOD isn't initialised properly when using SSS "double tap" to go from DMT TV to the TPOD page (after TPOD rearming and not used/loaded previously) i.e. it doesn't generate lat/long coordinates. Closing the TPOD page OPER --> STBY and opening it again, seems to fix the problem. Tested DCS Open Beta 2.7.5.10869
-
Unfortunately the TPOD functions correctly for me (using the keyboard for TDC slew, depress, etc.). Can you attach a track file, as it'll include your options, etc. Tested using DCS Open Beta 2.7.5.10869

Do you own the "2D/Pop up Window" NS430 module and have it installed ("DCS World/Mods/aircraft/NS430") ? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/ns430/ It's the core NS430 module and contains it's logic, database, Options>Special>NS430 GUI and 3D model. You can check the 2D module is installed and working by calling up the 2D window (default keybind "LShift+LAlt+B"). This is an example "Standalone" folder structure with base NS430 and L-39C, Mi-8 and Gazelle 3D modules installed.

All I can say is I bought the A-10C II "Tank Killer" upgrade on Steam and was able to link it to my ED profile. AFAIK if you log in to the ED store and check the A-10C "Tank Killer" price, you should see it discounted to $19.99 if the store recognises you already own the older A-10C i.e. have linked Steam to your store profile, etc. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/tank_killer/

The .ogg sound files are found in the "DCS World\Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Sounds\Effects" folder, you can play the different files to ID the warnings if uncertain.
-
If you've been successful in the past, anything I suggest would just be guessing. I really need to see a track to help.

Note: checking MGRS coordinates in the ME, the mouse cursor returns 37S and 37T prefixes in the "37" vertical strip i.e. north of 37T, 37U --> 37T. It may be that the AV-8B UFC is checking for 37T but a DCS function is misreporting. Tested DCS Open Beta 2.7.5.10869

I've known there were range penalties i.e. for look up, look down and cold targets Not sure how much is new, as I took a break from the Mirage to explore other modules and only started a A2A Mirage refresher on the 24th of July. Razbam are working on a more realistic A2A radar but AFAIK, it's not likely to be ready for a couple of months.

The NS430 2D pop still works in the Mi-24P for me - hot ramp start, Batumi, Steam Open Beta 2.7.5.10869

What is, Viewport export ? I play using a 40" TV, is that realistic ? What makes the Mirage's VTB export particularly egregious, the fact that it works and is useful, or that others don't play the same way as you ?
-
Shame, it's been along standing "feature" of the module, I always assumed it was Razbam's version the A-10C's “Hud Only View” where MFD's appear in the bottom left and bottom right corners of the screen. AFAIK only the Grim Reaper's ever misidentified the Mirage's VTB export as a helmet display. It's not a cheat as not everyone has the space/money for a home built cockpit with 2-5 displays, etc. or have the eyesight to easily the read the VTB. IMHO just because something is accessible doesn't make it "bad" and VTB readability shouldn't be restricted to those with the biggest wallets because someone else's realism might be offended. I thought this debate had been put to bed years ago (an export isn't a cheat if it's presenting the same info as the real cockpit and single monitor and multi-monitor viewport exports should be equally equivalent/valid) but it seems not. Really disappointed if Razbam are considering putting time and effort into making viewport exports less useful/easy for single monitor users. Do you have a source for this info or are you simply speculating ?

[NO BUG] PCN will not accept input at cold start
Ramsay replied to SharpeXB's topic in Resolved Bugs
The alignment procedure has changed a little since training mission 01 was created. You now need to select a waypoint 01-20 to align from i.e. PREP 20, before entering the alignment coordinates. It's a small change but will catch you out when doing it for the first time, see page 66 of Chuck's Mirage 2000C Guide for more detail. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jmp9ueZo9xOPyGzo3YO0AnFYEH-5Iotr/view -
OP did but it was placed in the "wish list" section, if you read one of the last posts in the original thread, you'll see it was suggested that the "bug" section may be a better place to report the problem. Seems reasonable (after the OP has been bumping the original thread for +12 months), to ensure ED are aware and it gets placed on a bug tracker, etc.

Testing in SP I wasn't been able to reproduce your issue, I tested using the AI F-5E and had an E3 providing link-16/bogy dope calls. I flew the M-2000C (France) and F/A-18C (USA) with friendly USA F-5E's escorting the E3 and enemy Russian F-5E's spawned (via MOOSE) as a Redfor CAP on the Caucasus map. • Redfor F-5E's IFF'ed as unknown/hostile • Blufor F-5E's IFF'ed as unknown/friendly (positive IFF depended on distance/aspect) As QuiGon said, I'd need a track file to see how you've setup your mission, coalitions and supporting assets to test further. Tested Open Beta 2.7.4.9847
