INS might only be partially simulated so far, but it not being in NAV could cause bombing modes other than manual to not be available. FPM being off to a side can mean wind effects, or it could be another effect of unavailable INS. Flashing symbology in the F-18 generally means that the true position of the symbol can not be displayed since it is outside the edges of the screen/HUD, so it displays the symbol flashing at the edge.

It should and it does. Maybe your bindings aren't set up correctly.

Had a "roll left" warning just today in an appropriate situation. I guess you just have to get yourself into a situation where "pull up" would come, but with a significant bank angle.

Happens to me, too. Especially when cleaning up after landing, flipping from full to auto, I find it often only goes to half. Have to switch again to make it register.

Thanks, that would explain it. Although from a video it appeared to me the F/A-18 gun had a similar angle so I thought it would be correct. Will have to try in the 18 myself later.

I have been practicing with the Harrier more in the last few days, including A/G guns. Setting up, aiming and hitting things is not the problem. However, the CCIP gun target is significantly above the flight path vector here (and from the videos it looks to be similar in the F/A-18C). Essentially, for me a gun run looks like this: Set a flight path to smash into the ground half a mile in front of the target Keep the CCIP on the target and wait for in range Fire Pull up like mad and hope not too many rodents get sucked into the jet engine Is there a better or more correct approach that feels less fatally reckless? What speed is best for this?

Mini-DIN gibts von 3 bis 9 Pin, alles genormt: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-DIN Die sind absichtlich so konstruiert, dass Verbinder mit unterschiedlicher Pin-Zahl inkompatibel sind, damit ein Stecker nicht versehentlich in die falsche Buchse gesteckt werden kann.

This thread is titled "Flaps Always at 5" and it's pages of discussion of how to avoid having flaps in the cruise setting while in cruise. Does that help?

We're already at four pages of obsessing over a number... And it's just that, a number. So it looks like the designers decided to define 0 = uppermost position of flaps which leaves neutral position = 5. They could have just as well decided neutral = 0 and uppermost = -5 like other planes, but they didn't. Neither is more wrong or right than the other, where you put the zero is just a matter of conventions and definitions. Meaning, of course, that when you force the flaps to 0 where they shouldn't be, you're going to get more drag (higher AoA for same lift, also higher fuselage AoA).

Well ok, then the scan posted by mvsgas is wrong about that. Although I can't quite make sense of the flow chart you posted, it seems it couldn't even express conditions like the one in mvsgas's description.

In what setting? It shouldn't in TO, should continue in LDG.

This isn't in Zeus67's list of known issues so far. It needs a fix.

Excellent, but Yakety Sax would have been more appropriate music. :P Also, this reminds me of the launch day of UH-1H on the Virtual Aerobatics server...

Forums aren't a representative sample of customers so polling here is kind of meaningless.

Hm? TACAN is radio navigation, it does not depend on INS. Sure, the compass may be wrong but it should still show the distance and direction to the station. Too bad it doesn't show a radial... but if there's two stations in range you could still triangulate your position. More interesting would be what happens with TACAN offset mode. Does that make use of the INS to compute the station position and from there the offset point, or does it work directly on TACAN information? If it makes use of the radial (even if it does not display it) and distance, some trigonometry should yield a direction and distance to the offset point without using any other data.

Ist halt so. In DCS wurde die Sitzposition so gewählt, dass das ganze HUD sichtbar ist. In einer realistischeren, nicht nach vorne gebeugten Sitzposition sieht man eben nicht mehr alles ohne den Kopf zu bewegen, was wohl auch real so ist. DCS macht es halt den Leuten ohne Headtracker oder VR leichter.

Because it's cheating. Creating physically impossible readability of the HUD. That black symbology is even possible points to a deficient implementation of the HUD overlay but that's no excuse to exploit it. That the current HUD may or may not be harder to read than is realistic would be a bug that needs to be fixed, not worked around with cheats.

So should this be reported to RAZBAM or ED? Who is responsible for this part of the integrity check?

Wenn ich mich nicht falsch erinnere, ist das Tauschen der Anzeigen links/rechts im ersten Early Access auch noch nicht implementiert.

Since I'm perusing the current manual at the moment, one thing came to my mind: There are a lot of acronyms in the original French that are expanded in English. Could you include the French names in full in addition to the English? It might help with memorizing the units and devices when it's not just semi-random letter sequences, even if we don't understand the French words. Yes, there are places where some acronyms are explained, but it's somewhat inconsistent. Or maybe I'm missing those since I'm skipping around the manual a bit right now.

The reason for grid north and true north being identical is because DCS World is a flat Earth, right? Or is there some other bug causing this?

Der Platzhalter wird aber wohl noch einige Zeit im Early Access sein, wenn ich mich recht erinnere hat RAZBAM damit noch zu tun.

Zoom ist im Allgemeinen erst mal unabhängig Head-Tracking. Viele legen Zoom auf eine Achse, z.B. den "Tension" Hebel auf dem Warthog Throttle. Mausrad kannst du auch machen, wenn dir das tatsächlich praktisch ist. Manche legen den Zoom auch auf die Vor/Zurück Achse des Head-Tracking. Hat den Vorteil, dass man keine Hand zum Zoomen braucht. Dafür kann man halt die Sicht im Cockpit nicht vor oder zurück bewegen, aber damit scheinen die auch auszukommen. TrackIR pausieren hilft bei Details zeigen, weil das Bild dann stabil ist und nicht mit jeder kleinen Kopfbewegung umherschwankt (besonders wenn stärker reingezoomt ist).

Das andere wurde ja schon beantwortet, dann sag ich noch was zur zivilen Fliegerei: Nur beim Flug nach Instrumentenflugregeln (IFR) wird man durchgehend gelotst, sonst nur, wenn man sich in einem Luftraum aufhält, den man nur mit Freigabe durch Fluglotsen nutzen darf. Im Sichtflug (VFR) fliegt man nach eigenem Ermessen. Die Verkehrsfliegerei ist fast komplett IFR. Wenn man VFR auf einem größeren Flugplatz landen will, der einen eigenen freigabepflichtigen Kontrollraum hat, gilt meist "Funkkontakt aufnehmen 5 Minuten bevor der Meldepunkt erreicht wird" (steht alles in den Anflugkarten vom Flugplatz). Auch sonst gilt meist "5 Minuten vor Erreichen".

The nose gear has a separate unlock handle. Also see p. 175 in the manual for the procedure.
