The DLC will disengage when you go into mil power. Pretty sure the speed brakes do the same. Jet

Hey everyone, Really enjoying the F14, great aircraft, but I'm having a small, some what annoying issue with aligning with CAINS and my ME waypoints. Figured I'd post here first to see if its operator error before moving to the bug forums. According to the manual with a CAINS alignment on the boat waypoints in the mission editor should be transferred over, if I read it correctly. This is not happening for me for some reason. Not sure if I'm missing a step, but I've tried multiple times with no luck. Its just a simple mission I created, three waypoints, start cold on the boat, nothing else. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. edit I am waiting for fine aligning and switching to INS after alignment, but that has nothing to do with waypoints, right? Jet

Oh, and a real funny thing is I downloaded a weapon training mission, and when I flew that, everything worked perfectly, ranging, cannon and rockets, but as soon as I start a quick mission, same issues happen with the ranging, weird.

Thanks for all the reply's guys, sorry for the kinda delayed response, but ive never really looked at the range indication on the hud, but I know the one on the shkval is way off. I usually fly with the targets highlighted and the range over the actual target is never no where near the range I get after a lase. It will display a range, usually i'm about 4.5 clicks out when I first try to get a target lased. But it wouldn't even let me fire the gun if I was still out of range of the gun itself correct? And I dot really maneuver much for the first target, straight off the ground at the airport and straight line to the group of targets, and go for the one that is dead in front of me. But I do get a target locked, good cues on the hud and shkval for firing, and am always able to let the rounds/rockets go. And after I lase it a couple times the range seems to "fix" itself but I figure that could lead to quick burn outs if I'm lasing a target 3 to 4 times back to back just trying to get a good range. I just got home so ill post a track later on after I get back into it, thanks for all the help.

Hey guys, First post, and with that just let everyone know thank you! Ive been a black shark pilot for a couple of years, and delved into the A-10C quite a bit too, and if it wasn't for all the great information on this forum, and through the various training manuals, posts, videos etc I would never be were I am at now, again thank you. But onto the question, after a small break from the black shark, a couple of days ago I decided to delve back into it, and so far so good, ive actually picked it back up better then I expected, but one thing ive been having an issue with is the laser range finder. I dont know if I just didnt notice it before, or if it just poped up, or maybe im forgeting a small step, but it never displays correct range. Now firing the Vhickers(probably spelled that wrong) is never a issue, always dead on, but with guns the rounds always fall super short, and rockets (I know they arnt meant to be accurate at all) not even coming close to intended target. Ive prowled the forums for possible explinations, from the laser burning out, to just a possible bug, but i'm talking about the first lase of a sortie, and the bug seems to be old news, so figured it would be ironed out by now. Any ideas? Thanks again for the help.
