    INU heading

    in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark 3

    Posted

    how do I input the initial aircraft heading for normal/prec INU start?

     

    I've tried the dial/knob on the right hand panel just aft of the autopilot switches at various times during the startup. 

    and the MH man switch on the right side panel.

    they seem to have not affect.

     

    heading is always taken from the editor set-up.

    Is this correct?

     

    please

    You have recognized that the ATHS import has changed? 

     

    Yes thanks buur.

    If you run the track you can see that (i think) i've created the markpoints correctly

    e.g. #TP1

     

    they just aren't being uploaded for some reason.

    They have been moved to the UI Layer. Choose that in the module drop down list.

    comms fail

    in DCS: AH-64D

    Posted · Edited by colubridae

    thanks rongor 

    that was the problem.

    Batumi in the edit file shows blue.

    but there are several red units dotted around the airfield. and the F10 map showed Batumi as red. (i hadn't configured it as red in the mission editor, i don't know how)

    as soon as i tried a mission without red units around the airfield then Batumi showed up on the F10 map as blue.

    comms then worked as expected.

    (even using 'ralt and OEM102' key combo)

     

    and thanks looseseal for suggestion.

    comms fail

    in DCS: AH-64D

    I cannot get the comms to work. Don't know what i'm doing wrong.

    I've started from parking hot at batumi.

    VHF on eufd show 121.00o.

    I use manual button on MFD to change this frequency to 131.000 via keyboard unit.

    still doesn't work

    the comms message appears but no response from batumi ATC

    also the first message goes straight to batumi ATC. If i select f11 parent menu, then select F5 ATC batumi does not appear in drop down list.

    Also of note I have to bind the comms key to something other than the default. 

    The default 'ralt \' doesn't initiate comms and I've found that DCS does not recognise my keystroke '\'. It calls it OEM102

    (i think OEM stands for OtherEquipmentManufacturer i have a UK keyboard)

    i've attached a trk file i hope it shows the problem.

    air to ground radar generated SPI

    in DCS: F-16C Viper

    Posted

    I've quickly tried some things.

    1 I was using radar without having a tpod loaded. So the TGT button did not appear.

    when tpod in the loadout then on the radar mfd the TGT button appeared

     

    2 after moving the radar cursor to my target I then pressed TMS FWD. but the SPI was still at the steerpoint

    (note: where the TGT button appears when the tpod is loaded

    the button now shos STP.)

    bomb dropped on steerpoint

     

    3 when i did 2 above and after pressing TSM FWD i pressed TMS RIGHT the bomb dropped on my cursor position, which is what i wanted.

    it seems the TMS RIGHT is what creates the radar generated SPI.

     

    I will test it further. only just got home so time for bed.

     

    🙂
