^ I do the same. Still 2.5 sorties on average. I only ever turn on the laser to lase and guide vikhrs. Even mapped it on the most accessible button I have on my HOTAS.
-
In my long experience with the Shark, you can get away with two and a half sorties . That means you go out; use up 12 vikhrs, go back and rearm, use another 12. Go back and rearm it will fail by the 6th vikhr. By then the laser has burned out My standard practice is that on the 2nd RTB, I shut down the engines (you can leave electronics on) and do a repair.

Nope. Still ddnt work. For a moment I thought it did. When I was connecting to the server I saw the channels default to 251. But remained unknown once i spawned and started up the aircraft.

Having a problem with SRS that's manifested itself only yesterday. I can connect to SRS servers but when I hop on to the aircraft... the radios are not connected. When I bring up the overlay. It still says 'Unknown'. Using the latest version; 1.5.3.2

CASE 1 : My Personal DCS achievement (Finaly)
arkroyale048 replied to Doum76's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
I too have been enjoying the Hornet simply just landing the thing back into the boat. I've rarely gone into combat with it as of now. There is indeed a certain sense of achievement when you get it right. In my case I've found Case II and III's to be mentally exhausting yes, but overall easier to do. With Case I, I just cant seem to get those damn turns right. Plus altitude management. -

I want that nice streetlamp like soft orange glow implemented as deck lighting. -

F/A-18C Carrier Landing/Recovery: Pro Tips wanted
arkroyale048 replied to Growling Sidewinder's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
any tips for lining on the angled deck for landing ? I am able to use the instruments provided to line up nicely on the heading the carrier is going... but not the angled landing area... What should I look out for ? -
In my experience; only Master Caution has worked. Maneuver tones hasnt worked despite claim that it has been placed in (albeit placeholders) two patches ago. RWR also has not worked. I am curious about the said sound mod in the hopes that it can at least make the maneuver tone and RWR work.

bumping this

What is this mod you speak of ? Does this make the silent RWR work ?
-
Mk-82 Definitely not the smoke ones.

Could you elaborate more on 'Enable Radio Switch' ? Does that mean I get to have two PTT's ? One for each radio ? I gather the SRS bind to select radio is the one closest to what im looking for ? I just need to press one button and i switch between Radio 1 and 2. Well that's better than mousing over the overlay to select it. Thanks

Can I get a follow up question; I too have been practicing my dumb bomb drops now that the Mavs are out of action. Can you use CCIP to drop the dumb bombs without the aim of the DMT ? Eyeballed the target without it and went for a run. I observed that there was no detonation. Not sure if my bomb dropped short or whatever.. I have set the fuzing to T IN. I was like thinking; the bomb wont work if you're not using the DMT
-
Yes, clicking on the radio buttons (preset dials) allows you to switch the frequency for that radio. What I meant was switching to the other radio ingame. So that when I push my PTT; it's radio 2 that will transmit. Right now what I do is click on Radio 2 on the SRS overlay so that I can use that radio. Did not notice a mic switch 1 or 2 under controls. I'll have to recheck tonight.

Is there an ingame way to switch betweem Comm 1 and Comm 2 on the Harrier ? As of now I swtich by clicking on Radio 2 on the SRS overlay.

Is there a mod for NATO type artificial horizon on HUD?
arkroyale048 replied to cordite's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
Yes it does; (or at least my custom version does) Here's me flying around with it (6 days ago) -

arkroyale048 replied to cordite's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
At the risk of being crucified by these 'purists' Given to me by this guy https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=177843 I only use the HUD only mod though. Gives you a western like pitch ladder, a TVV indicator, the bearing tape remains even when shkval is switched on and best of all the air speed indicator remains on even when the shkval is used. -
With this harrier update. is there a change or an addition to the current startup procedure ?
-
Ahh that explains it... Thanks
-
any screenshots on what it looks like ?

2.5..subtle flight model change??
arkroyale048 replied to deltahawk2008's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
I've only played on one server so far with only one weather setting so my observations can't be decisive. I felt that the Shark feels a little slower then before. I remember it maxing at 270 when against the wind and 300++ when going with. With 2.5 I can barely hit 250 when going against, and only about 270 when going with. -
Once ED updates the Blackshark's textures... are we able to have a new version of the Ricardo mod ?
