Do the mark points I create follow moving vehicles or are they fixed? if they are fixed how can i track moving vehicles.

Thats not in my Training section.. I must have a different version

So its not something I can order on the radio menu?

what is the difference between TMS long and TMS short I brought up the options/controls and I see no different listings just HOTAS TMS etc is it pressing v.s. holding the button that makes it short/long?

I asked a question earlier about a better way to suppress enemy air defenses in the campaign missions. Some one mentioned a SEAD flight. How do I call upon them to suppress the air defenses? I have no radio freq for them, and just bringing up the radio panel I see Wingman, Flight, JTAC, ATC, and AWACs, Nothing for SEAD.

I've been trying to get the hang of DSCS-A10 and I think it would be a lot less hectic if i knew how to create a mark point. This is my idea of what I want to do with my HUD as SOI select a target on the ground and create a permanent mark point for it, but now whenever i select another target the old target is gone. How can i set it up so that every target I select creates Mark A, Mark B, Mark C, so I can rapidly switch between them.

I've tried several times to complete the Campaign's first mission Devil's Cross 1 but I am having a significant problem in identifying, and destroying the SAM/AAA units before I'm knocked out of the sky. I can only carry 6 mavericks not enough to take them all out. Please help this is really become discouraging. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to alter the way the Maverick targeting works on the MFCD. I've tried altering the slew rates and such but its really difficult for me because of limited functionality in my hand to control it. Ideally I'd like to make it so that whenever i slew the cross hairs it auto ground stabilizes. Like how it works when I have Active Pause on with Mavericks enabled. Whenever I slew it with A.P. on the cross hair stays put. Is it possible to alter this in live flight? I've been looking over the ..\config\weapons\missiles_table but I don't know what values do what.

Dumb question but what makes the pitch ladder drift left and right on my HUD? Some times I'm fly straight ahead and the pitch ladder is crammed all the way to the far left or right of the HUD.

thanks i didn't know about that. Once i used that method to save the changes it worked and I was able to successfully drop my ordinance. Guess it had something to do with the auto lase.

Maybe I wasn't specific enough. I tried holding down the release button until i was miles away from the target. It just won't drop. I did everything I did in the training segments the bombs just won't release. I've tried holding down the weapons release when the Time to Drop first appears, I've tried holding it down when "Man Release" flashes on the HUD, I did about 20 bomb runs doing everything I could think of they just won't drop.

If it matters there is a small white box in the lower right hand corner of both of my MFCD's saying CHCK EO TIME Also the Maverick missiles fire just fine.

I'm flying the mission Weapons Training. I'm carrying 2 GBU-10, 2 CBU-87, and 2 CBU-97. I can't get any of them to release. For example I just made a pass. I selected the GBU-10. I went into the DSMS profile and changed it to CCRP, Set Auto Lase on, and LS Time 10 and saved. I made a perfect run, squeezed and held the bomb release button and released it when it was time and nothing. I've tried this several times with all 3 munitions none will drop. I've double and triple checked that the master arm and laser arm are on, the TGP is in point mode with the target locked up. I'm not getting any error messages on the HUD. I'm not sure if its related but after each failed bomb run the DSMS resets the profile info back to its original settings. right now I've got both GBU-10s selected they say GBU-10/I688 in the middle it says CCRP M/GBU-10 SGL N/T The GBU-10 Profile control says ESC MNVR CLM BMB MNT PYLON DES TOF: 0.0 N-NONE --- T-FMU139LD 4.0 AUTO LASE: ON LASER TIME 10 SEC LASER CODE I688 SOLUTION ORP MIN ALT 0 ADJ RT 0 ADJ UP 0 EJECT VEL 0 RACK DEL 0.00 Once again no joy.

Ah, thank you. "I'd kiss you Mr. Rat if you weren't swimming in disease" lol

I'm having problems using the Maverick missiles. Whenever I'm slewing the crosshairs i get it over the target and go to ground stabilize and its floated off the mark by then. When it is G.S. i cant slew it or it unsets the G.S. Also how come I can't get a lock in a missions. Training was rather simple but I slew it right on the target and even when i manage to ground stabilize it. it won't lock.

I've got Game Flight and Avionics mode set to off. Whenever I fly I'm bouncing around so bad I can barely keep the plane straight and level. Now I'm new to DCS but I have over 500 hours in FSX on full realism and its nothing like this I'm bouncing around like crazy, even trimming the plane up barely helps and forget about being able to do a bomb run i have to set autopilot if i want to stay anywhere near the target Please some one tell me how I can fix this.

Wow I feel dumb. I confused the ALQ131 ECM Pod for the TGP Litening pod. Thanks for helping me find out why I had no TGP.

I have the same issue, however, when i set the throttles to idle during the engine start up sequence the Oil pressure warning lights go off.

I followed the instructions step by step. When the mission first starts the TGP button is already in the ON position, however, no matter what I do the MFCD says "TGP OFF" I tried toggling the switch but no joy. Every time I start the mission the TGP switch is already in the on position but it just says TGP OFF. Some one please help I'm really growing frustrated.
