I had a guy in my squad report this same thing while online last night. I use Voice Attack to engage Heading Select or BARALT and it rarely fails to work unless, as Foka stated above, my joiystick is not centered. The guy reported that he was "manually" pressing the button with his mouse. I wonder if it has anything to do with the amount of time the mouse button is held down on the button??

Try SimHQ

Well, there's no denying that you've got talent with a 3D printer and it's software. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

If you're thinking Apache, you'd better think about adding a bunch more soft key slots!

19 callsigns for a FAC/JTAC but only 3 for tankers?? I can see where this didn't seem like too big of a deal way back when the A-10 and F-15 were the only planes of ours that could tank behind the KC-135 and the SU-33 and -27 were all that could benefit from the IL-78M but now we have the KC-130, KC-135, KC-135MPRS and the S-3B Viking to work with and a bunch more planes that are capable of AAR. How difficult could it be to add a handful more callsigns?

Could not possibly agree more with Nealius' request. At the very least, dial down the green flood lights on the deck. They are way too bright! RAZBAM has made some great progress on the Tarawa over the years but there's still just a little bit left to do where the lighting is concerned.

Yeah, it's been a fair bit of time since we've had a bone thrown at us!

Thank you for that explanation Western_JPN.

Is anyone able to place the B-747 on an airport in the Syria map? Other than having it start on the runway, I can't get it to start on the ramp without an error message about "no free airport". It works just fine on the NTTR, Caucus, Persian Gulf and Marianas maps.

My apologies to the OP and the rest of this community. I had no idea that his post was originally put up in the Apache forum. I guess I was just doing my best impression of Tucker Carlson and it came off just as I should have expected it to. Again, I hope everyone will accept my sincerest apology.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking but I just thought it was interesting that he appeared to expect all of us reading his post to take that for granted.

"My third year flying DCS, I don't think there's ever been a more anticipated module than this?" Than WHAT??!! "I obviously don't have access to pre-order sales figures, but judging by the hype I say it's up there." WHAT's up there??!! "Super excited for this one, loving the videos." WHAT VIDEOS??!!

I love you man!!

That would be a very welcome addition indeed

Could we get more than just 3 callsigns for the tankers? It doesn't seem like that would be a very technically difficult thing to do but I am a total dweeb where it applies to code and computer software. It would be greatly appreciated though.

Thank you for the response fellas. I used the code 129 for the Gammon radar in setting up the HARM and it silenced the SA-5 battery so that must be the one

Thank you very much for this tremendously helpful and vital information but I have a question for you regarding the SA-5 radars. Is the "Gammon" the Tracking radar and the "Tin Shield" the Search radar or are they both Search radars??

It most likely stems from how DCS "sees" the Harrier as just another helicopter. AI or Human flown, it spawns where a helo would, even on the SC.

I mention this with the complete understanding that it is still a WIP but I hope that someone in ED realizes that the wind over the deck is blowing from front to back and reverses the curves of the barrier straps before that makes it to release

You do realize though, that this is also a problem for the Tarawa, right? The Tarawa and the SC are completely different modules and have nothing to do with each other. The Forrestal does not suffer from this problem, nor does the Stenis. Very strange.

Go to YouTube and search for this: Flight Deck Crews: Landing & Re-Spotting World War 2 Aircraft Carrier Planes I would've just copy and pasted the link to the video but I'm not sure if that is kosher. Anyway, there are several glimpses of the barriers and how they are operated. And Mogster, you are exactly correct about the barriers!.

Well Mogster, I've certainly never been accused of being any kind of a wordsmith but I thought that that is exactly what I put down above. Reread it and see if it makes any more sense.

Well, before you go making that kind of pronouncement, make sure that you understand what it is we're talking about here. The barriers we're talking about are not at all like the one you are probably referring to that you'd find on a modern day angeled deck carrier. These are basically an arresting wire that is lifted about 3-4 feet off the deck that were intended to "trip" a plane that missed the arresting wires before it could crash into the pack of planes that were parked forward. These barriers were always rigged (erected) whenever the ship was taking aircraft aboard. The barrier you are probably thinking of is a large net-like afair that is strung across the arresting area on the angled deck to snag a plane that may have broken its arresting hook, damaged its landing gear or any number of other problems that would prevent a normal arrested landing.....and where a suitable land base was beyond the range of the stricken plane to make.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I wonder if they have even thought of trying to simulate that? You know that IRL, sailors were stationed in the catwalk next to the 3 barriers and would lower their particular barrier if the landing plane had caught a wire but looked as though it would run into his barrier? They were individually operated by these sailors and I am not sure how that would be simulated in the DCS World. Maybe a proximity to the barrier and a hooked wire would cause the barrier to lower? Once the plane was stopped in the arresting wires, the sailors would all lower their barriers so he could taxi out of the arresting wires and they would go back up again for the next plane in the groove. That would be pretty tough to simulate in this world of knuckleheads we deal with in MP servers!!

Thanks RoGaR, I never knew that was available in the ME.
