Byeohazard

I have flicked the switch to turn rockets on (switch behind the joy stick) Master arm is on. guns and cannons fire..all the gun fuse buttons are on but still unable to fire the rockets. I have tried the bomb release button to see if that would work. I do not see a key bind beyond emergency release for the rockets. Any help appreciated.

I posted about this yesterday....same thing happens with me. Looks like the mission will be disabled with hotfix. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=235428

In instant action I can not seem to get the Persian Gulf Tour to load. It gets to Terrain Graphics Init:97,Persian Gulf.ng5 and stops. On another attempt it makes no progress loading. I'm running a i7-920 CPU, R9.390 video card, 24 Gigs of RAM, plenty of space on a 500 GB SSD. Windows 10. Not a beast of a system. So far everything else has been grand! Having a lot of fun! Was just wondering if this is on my end (do a repair in that case) or if others are having the problem.

I wonder if anyone will make a vf-1 Fire bird skin ala Top Gun.

Odd no one else is reporting this. System specific maybe? I am happy that I got the sensor select stuff working however I checked today and it appears Request AWACS and join up formation are red now.....not too worried about them as I'd much rather have my sensor selects working..small price to pay. When I say red I probably mean grayed out...I am color blind.

I noticed tha HOTASt sensor select forward shares a default bind with Communications: Request AWACS home airbase (Left Windows Key U) HOTAS sensor select Left shares a default bind with Communications: Join Up formation (L windows y) If I clear the communications bindings and use the enter default button to enter the binds into the sensor select forward and sensor select Left my sensor selects work until I restart the game. Once I do so my sensor select switches are red in the control options and nothing short of rebuilding the av8B input file fixes it...of course after flying its messed up again. I've been banging my head around this for a while (even did a full reinstall). Is it a known issue or are there any fixes? Thanks for any information. I had previously tried assigning non default binds to the sensor selectors but I believe I tried after I had the red fields in an effort to fix it. I just tried a fresh input file and made my changes to sensor select entering non default without deleting the the defaults I mentioned above in communications. Seems like they need to stay or things go south. So far so good.

Thanks for the information on the pilot!

I am unable to hide the joystick in the harrier or show pilot. I am wondering if these features are not implemented or if I have key binding problems. Also my frame rate counter is activated by Right control/scroll even if the field in options is entirely blank. Cant change it. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Thanks for the reply. I tried everything. Binding to my HOTAS, rebuilding the input folder and control folders, uninstalling the aircraft and reinstalling it, etc etc etc........ spent a lot of time trying to fix this. What finaly worked was "upgrading" from the stable version of DCS 2.5 to the BETA version of DCS 2.5. Luckily I did not have to start from scratch on the download. These instructions were useful....https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comments/7u2hrj/how_to_update_stable_15_to_25_open_beta/ thanks to everyone that had a couple pennies to throw in...I am back in business! I just plugged in the latest version number and used windows power shell (for windows 10) instead of the command prompt.

I still have not gotten this one figured out. Autostart shows up in the options and goes right to it when a ipress LW indows + Home. It just doesn't do anything once in the AV-8B. I am wondering if it could be a registry problem since i uninstalled dcs and reinstalled to a SSD drive???

I can not seem to get the autostart (Lwindows key,Home) to work. I am wondering if it is not implemented or if I have a config problem etc. Thanks for any imnformation.

Sad to hear this I am late to this thread. I had wondered what happened to Jim and am sad that he has passed away...it was much too soon. I do not know of anyone that had his passion for bringing in new players and introducing them to the A-10C. He really loved that aircraft and his passion really shone through by his enthusiasm and his actions..he brought in so many new guys like myself..and before you knew it he had a crew up in the air and actually running some of the complex systems and doing the missions. His patience was exemplary..he really was a passionate teacher and mentor...there are some mighty big boots to fill. He is sorely missed.

I bought training missions from Maple Flag about 3 years ago or so...are the ones being sold on DCS the same? Do they update what I have already installed from Maple Flag? Thanks!

I'm glad I got in on when the sales where really nice...at least from a customer point of view lol. I think I got a few of my modules for about $15.00 I think those good old days are bygone!

Thanks for the information cichlidfan. I will be more careful on how I use them in the future.

Got the email today regarding the Bonus Point offer/sale. I purchased Nevada about a month or so ago and figured I would have 10.00 in Bonus points to use for todays sale. I have zero Bonus Points however. When I purchased Nevada I used $2.00 in bonus I had sitting in my account. Does that (using the $2.00) null and void the 10.00 in Nevada Bonus point rewards or was there a glitch? Thanks so much for any insight.

Same problem here. My account info tells me I own the plane. Guess I will try a manual install. It does not show up in the module manager...even planes I do not own show up for the option to purchase...just not the K4 seems to be missing. Got it now. I ran the non beta version of DCS and I think it initiated a repair or I accidentally hit repair option. Let it do it's thing. Made sure the K4 was in the non beta and then shut the game down. Started the 1.5 BETA and the K4 shows it has installed although it still does not show in the module manager. I know when I logged into the module manager for the first time it found all my modules shown in a small box with checkmarks if I recall correctly.

Thanks much for the info. I had been missing the right click part after I had made "new" store. I'm in good shape now and got my take offs under control!

Thanks for the info! Currently looking for that sc-500 bomb and external fuel I've seen others use with the K4....have not been able to find anything in the mission editor yet so as to make a payload and nothing in the stock payload drop down. I'm sure I am just a bit rusty with the editor but any ideas on how I would go about this.

Just got the K4 and loving it....gets me thinking about the Dora. The K4 is still in BETA so I believe there is more to come including different weapon stores (machine gun pods hopefuly)! I was wondering how the Dora compares in this regard. I believe it has the ability to carry bombs etc....Just curious before the next sale LOL!

Oh that was crossing my mind on several occasions lol! Still trying to get a good landing with this one!

Picked it up yesterday! I like! Managed to get her up in the air on second try but I think I was lucky! Gonna go play with it some more! Just realized I had the takeoff assist to 100%. Turned that off and still managed (somehow) to get airborne! Only thing I could ask for is a comprehensive tutorial (although from watching auto start sequence I learned a bit). The campaign, so far....seems like unassisted exercises in the aircrafts operation. I love how nimble it feels. MY other ww2 aircraft is the Mustang and I love the contrast between them...very different animals!

Mig 21 not on flash sale? Is it pretty normal for a seasoned module not to go on sale with the rest of them. I believe I have seen new releases excluded before. Was telling a friend to pick up the Mig 21 on the flash sale then realized...uh-oh...its not included. Thanks! oops..perhaps a mod could move this to the correct forum. I boo-booed

Yep! I can't wait to see some store types....the P51 is quite fun to practice with the bombs and rockets. I think the take off and landing challenges are a big part of the appeal to these aircraft!

Good to hear everyone's feedback! I am continuing to check back and read them every so often. It is looking like I will pick this one up next sale.
