Tempest

The new update to DCS reverts the modded file back to making the cockpit checklist unable to work. All you need to do to get it to work is go back into the device_init.lua file and remove the 2 dashes per instructions at beginning of this forum string.

Is the aircraft affiliated with that base-blue a/c with blue base? Look with your editor. I had this problem in I-16. Contacted groundcrew-no response. Made base same color as aircraft..all was well. Good Luck.

Hi xvii-Dietrich: I'm using 2.5.5. Not a bug. "5.Are you sure that the airfield is the same faction as you are? (i.e. Blue airfield, if your I-16 is on the Blue faction.)" Changing the faction of the warehouse with the editor to match the aircraft fixed it. Got ground crew reply-bombs - rockets on ramp and runway. Thanks.:thumbup:

Uninstalled module and reinstalled module. Still can't load a/c on runway or ramp with rockets or bombs. Only load in editor.

No bombs or rockets can be added to I-16 with wizard on runway or ramp. Tried every which way-engine on or off. Pilot orders it and you see comm-but no reply from ground crew. You CAN change paint scheme and you can refuel and rearm in editor.

Pylon isn't enabled [text edit?]-or code not in for that pylon? _____________________________ I get correct rockets-when added in editor

In a all my modules....and with DORA I found as long as I NEVER go in EXTERNAL VIEW-or ANY OTHER VIEW-strictly cockpit view the Track is not corrupted. Changing view corrupts Track? Long day- but will investigate further. In a number of my module I do something textbook..but in the Track I end up as a flaming hole. :joystick: Appears this issue has been around awhile.

Well I found a few cutaways-no pictures that could help...BUT..very interesting discussion here on jettisoning FW 190 canopy with a diagram. 20mm blank cartridge! Makes sense. Something easily in stock. FWIW. Evidently placed between part labeled #11 and #16. https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/bf109-why-no-bubble-canopy.38193/page-3

Is this available now? Or in some BETA. Bug? Only single bomb is available. I have DCS 2.5 Clean(2.5.5.41371) Build. _________________________ Never mind it's in latest BETA

I don't know. Poking around the files I see some code for the radio that isn't present and in one file 'To Do' phrases at the end of some code.

Thank you VERY MUCh for your translation.

When I run the inscription on the headrest through GOOGLE I get something about blast charge to separate canopy and don't do something while testing. Anyone give me an exact translation? TIA

FIXED-simple edit https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=273845

Simple text edit. Go to C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\I-16\Cockpit\Scripts In the Scripts FOLDER you want the file device_init.lua (FIRST BACK UP THE FILE) Go down to the line near the bottom that reads --------------------------------------------- --dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."KNEEBOARD/declare_kneeboard_device.lua") --------------------------------------------- REMOVE the 2 dashes before the word dofile so it reads --------------------------------------------- dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."KNEEBOARD/declare_kneeboard_device.lua") --------------------------------------------- Attached my file. Please BACKUP original. That's it. Sorry-I cant fix radio to this little Gem.:( device_init.lua

Pity module isn't updated. It really is a fine piece of work. Not asking for much...radio..kneeboard? How hard can that be? I'm afraid I know how this story ends.:(

Couldn't get it out of my system. :music_whistling:I got the A-8. Got all the FW-190 in Il2GB Had to get one with a clickable cockpit.

Thank you for a straight answer. :thumbup: I can wait.

Tried/Trialed them - both. Thought the A-8 needed more polish. D-8 was too much of a chore though it's is more mature module then the A-8. After trial flying those 2 went back to the P-51D I own..The Pony is my plane. More fun to fly for me.:D

Well...that answers my question.:cry_2:

LOL I’m enjoying this string. I can identify with the sentiment..I wanted to throw my joystick against the wall with the IL2 BoS Spit landing ground loop. But lurked the forums...looked at the YouTubes and damned the game developers. I conquered that problem (keep 18% thrust to maintain rudder authority.) You’ll get there. Gonna pickup the DCS Spit one day...sure I will nail the landings after multiple crack ups LOL

I looked at the tail wheel again in the DCS module and it moves BUT NOT with the rudder. More like traveling "dollying" on it's own depending on what direction the a/c is going. I don't know if this is true or the modeling in BoS where it looks like it is tied directly to the rudder.

:laugh:Yes I picked it up yesterday to. Only module where I need takeoff assist..and even that is a challenge. Love it! Love flying it and in final approach missions I have no trouble landingi it (take off assist is off before I launch that mission). Oh the landing gear hahaha Raising and lowering it. Aircraft has no trim. NO TRIM. A manly plane It’s Early Access so I expect missing features and a bug or 2. Noticed 2 things though... in BoS IL12 I notice the tail wheel turns with the rudder. Not so here. Was later feature? One take off mission (without takeoff assist) I landed her on the grass next to the runway and stopped. Gunned the engine and took off albeit it was a bumpy takeoff not like being on slick ice on the runway ...could module have issues with runways? FWIW

Title sez it all. Luv it :thumbup: Before I bought this module I fired up the Rata in Il12 BoS [which I enjoy]. No comparison.:laugh:

Nice informative, forum string. Guess I will hold off purchase. :( Thanks all for your observations.
