  1. Errr. which is the TGT button? Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk
  2. I've been practising a2g with the viper. when I press TMS fwd to lock a ground target the bombs always fall on the steerpoint that was the last SPI before locking via the A2G. Is this a problem or am i (as usual) missing a step? please
  3. I've tested this on Syria, Persian G, caucasus - left and right - and as far as i can tell if you place the targeting cursor approx half of one limb of the designator cross ahead of the radar return you have a good chance of hitting the target (Hornet). hope that helps. Ive not done the viper, I assume near enough with a good dose of CBU105 will do the trick.
  4. Ummmm i guess i didn't explain properly. with the waypoint exactly on the target in the mission editor, when i attack it, the JDAM scores a direct hit. so no problem. the problem comes when using the A2G radar. when off axis at, say, 50 degrees, the target return is clear now with waypoint designated the target cursor showing on the MFD is not over the contact. But without moving the target cursor ie leaving the cursor off the target the JDAM scores a direct hit. If however I move the target cursor on the MFD to be over the rader contact now the JDAM misses. If I move the target cursor so it appears to be off the contact (by the same amount as when using waypoint designate) the JDAM scores a direct hit. Hope this explains my problem more clearly.
  5. After watching the grim reapers video on off axis a2g I've been practicing. great fun but.. I seem to find the designation symbol is not exactly over the targeted point. I've set a waypoint directly over a tank, wypoint designated, but the symbol is slightly off the target echo. however when attacked with a JDAM the jJDAM hits the target. (provided i don't move the spi symbol.) if I retry but move the spi symbol driectly over the target return the JDAM misses. If i try but move the spi symbol slightly off the target (roughly where it appears when using waypoint designate) then the JDAM hits. is this a slight bug or am i missing a detail? please A2G still awesome when greatly off axis!!!!
  6. oops ta. that would explain it. sowwy. :embarrassed:
  7. I'm having trouble aligning the viper HMCS. I get successfully to the DED page showing coarse, az/el and roll but when i press m-sel to get the first cross nothing happens. The hud stays the same, it doesn't go into the align screens any help please
  8. my SLAMs are never successful against an oil rig. (all else works fine). is this a bug, or am i 'doing it wrong'? please
  9. Have downloaded gui. no problems. executed repair no problems (some files needed deleting) unfortunately i still have my problem. never mind it's not such a serious prob, but t65hnaks for advice. (though after repair DCS did seem to load noticeably quicker. yea.
  10. thanks weegie. I'll give it a try and report back. (maybe sometime)
  11. I pretty convinced something is corrupted. what, i don't know. didn't know there was such a thing as a repair. How do i run it, please. Jockland eh, how's your lockdown. p.s. I'm welsh, so you can dis the sassenachs as much as you want (oops unless you're one of course. )
  12. BTW I'm using trackir 5 I tried pausing trackir. not successful, toggle key did not work. started DCS without even running trackir. Still no success. thanks for suggestion anwy The only mod i have is the A-4E.
  13. Thanks for the offer Weegie. I guess i have not explained my problem correctly 1. I can set up my own personalised 'snap views' without any trouble. and they are kept by DCS. 2. when i press the key for (as an example on A-10C II left-win-num3 ) my personalised CDU view the view appears correctly, but only as long as i hold down the left-win-num3 key. As soon as I release this key it returns to the previous view, whatever that was. so far this is correct behaviour. However according to several youtube tutorials its is possible to change this behaviour such that when the left-win-num3 is pressed the CDU view appears and remains in view even when the left-win-num3 key is released. (a second press of left-win-num9 'releases' the snap view and returns to previous regular view) To effect this behaviour the key to press is 'toggle cockpit view' and this is where my problem lies. Pressing this key does not change the 'snap view' behaviours; it always behaves as in point 2 above. I hope this clarifies what my problem is. Hope someone can help. It's not a major concern but would be really useful.
  14. Thanks for the post Rudel. I'm not able to program my hotas in that fashion. However i'm trying to set it up via voice attack as per sunstag gamer's video:- But the toggle cockpit view seems to not action anything. I've tried with trackir not started.
  15. Exactly what I've done. However the snapview remains 'transient'. For some reason which I cannot fathom, the toggle key seems to have no effect. My problem still exists. Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk
  16. I'm trying to set up snap views to be continuous when i press the snap key. I've set up my own views ok, and they appear when i press the key, but I can't make them hold. I understand that the key to press should be 'cockpit view toggle'. I press this key, but afterwards the snap view remains transient (i.e. returns to trackir after releasing the snap view key) I've watched several tutorials which seem to make it work, but i cannot get a success. I'm sure its my fault but I can't see waht i've missed. help please.
  17. on the a/a refuelling pod what is the purpose of the propellor/turbine on the front of the pod? please :)
  18. Carpet bombing with B-52s. Is there a way to set this up? other than runway bombing. please:)
  19. Thanks alpenwolf. problem solved :)
  20. I have installed SRS. Now whenever i start DCS i get a little box saying 'DCS simpleradio standalone... no radio connected...' etc. how can i remove this box when playing single player? please. :)
  21. thanks for the help. not sure i will try to amend the default file. sounds a bit above my paygrade. ps i wanted the button press after watching grim reapers vid on dead reckoning. I tried it in a a-10c ii but didn't want to take my hands off hotas at turning points. I assume that it is recognised as a bug, albeit low priority. thanks again. :)
  22. I am unable to use a keyboard key to operate the stopwatch start/stop/reset function. it works using the cockpit push button via mouse button, but any key (or combo) bound to it does not work. is this a problem? or am i doing owt wrong please. :)
