I can't do it with TIR either - I have to pause tracking and manually move my view to a physically impossible position to be able to put the switch back.

Surprising that not even the DLC and wing sweep controls are bound to anything, considering it's almost never possible to mouse click on buttons/switches that are on movable surfaces like the stick/throttle.

I can lean over, see pilot dials etc and move them. This doesn't seem like it should be possible irl. Is it deliberate?

I got this in Normandy today, with waypoints. It was the free flight mission. Sea same colour as land.

Yes, shame they don't actually do anything in the sim >_<

Thanks both. Shame I was learning the fix-taking procedure for nothing!

As far as everyone knows is INU drift still not modelled in the Shark? I know there's a handful of threads on it but the most recent was 2014 so I thought I'd ask if it's been added since.

I don't know. I've never had reason to engage route mode with the pvi-800 off.

Yes, being in FD is the same as if you are holding the trimmer while not in FD. And yes, in my opinion you should keep the trimmer pressed while manoeuvring otherwise the AP will be working against you and reducing your control authority. As for your other question, you pick for the situation I guess. I don't have much combat experience. I do know that most people seem to keep the bank, pitch and heading channels on most of the time and not use altitude so much.

1: the AP is trying to maintain the attitude that the aircraft was in when you last released the trimmer button, subject to the channels you have selected. If you only have AP heading selected and you release the trimmer in a bank, it'll only try to keep the nose pointed in the same (compass) direction. It won't try to maintain the bank or pitch. 2: Flight director is damping only. If you press the trimmer button, when you release it you will get HUD indications telling you what attitude the AP would be trying to achieve if you had it engaged. 3: There are different schools of thought on this. I find it easier to just hold down the trim every time I move the cyclic, but others prefer to repeatedly tap the trim button during manoeuvres, which apparently is what the real pilots do.

Thanks, I will.

The plaque below the right hand cockpit window that is supposed to list ADF frequencies is blank in Caucasus. I've tried it in instant action and a couple of campaign missions. Anyone know how to fix this? I understand it's supposed to be populated by ARK.lua from the frequencies set in the mission editor, so I wonder if there's a bug there but I don't understand the scripting language well enough to see if that's the problem, or to fix it if it is.

There is no sound effect on the master mode dial when it is moved using the keyboard commands. Clicking on it gives a sound effect, but there is no sound effect when the keyboard commands are used. This applies both to the commands to turn CW/CCW and the commands for selecting specific positions.

I wouldn't have thought so, what with Heatblur having expressed the desire to make their impending AI version a full module at some point.

It is a DCS feature but it has to be "enabled" (or whatever) in each module as I understand it. A number of the older modules don't have it yet.

Sorry, fixed my link.

ED have said 2019 now.

They did mention on hoggit that there are some MP sync issues with the wing sweep they're working on. Might explain it.

There are a few pictures of physical copies on Google images. Looks A5 size, I didn't see any spiral-bound ones (although I did see one bound with zip ties, lol) or section dividers.

Does anyone know how to fix the wall panel with the ADF channel listings?

It does look worse with every new DCS module that's released, but yes if they'd just fix the cockpit lighting (to the point that devrim/Ricardo's mod would work too) I'd not ask for any updates until the next time an update breaks something ever again.

One more vote for the CH-53 here, E preferably

Does it happen all the time? I notice your shot is on a runway. Some or all of the airfields have floodlights at the runway threshold pointing down the runway at night. Illuminates the cockpit pretty good until you put some distance between you and them.

By the end of the year, assuming it's addressed in the impending update that was flagged a few weeks back.
