I tried this, it doesn't do anything. After RTN, I actually see FP-A not APR on the main screen (but HSD and HUD still show APR info). If I click on FP-A I get to the same "FP-A BNG APR etc" screen. If I then click on FP-A again it still doesn't do anything. Attached is a very short track from the Instant Action Free Flight. apr-mode-cannot-cancel.trk

This is probably something very simple but I can't figure it out. I searched but could not find anything relevant (kind of hard to search for :)). If I choose the APR mode for navigation to an airfield but then later change my mind and want to continue normal navigation, how do I cancel APR mode and return to regular FP-A mode? Just clicking RTN shows me the FP-A page but HSD is still showing the APR info instead of the regular flight plan. Thanks

In mission 2 of the "Mjolnir Response" campaign the orders are to drop bombs close to the Russian Navy ships but if you do this the mission will fail. This is because the trigger is based on a fixed zone at waypoint 3 (where the ships start) but by the time you get there the ships have sailed outside of the zone. I wonder if the behavior changed in a recent DCS update? The ships are deactivated on mission start. Perhaps in old DCS versions this was preventing the ships from sailing but now it doesn't? The easy (but unsatisfying :)) workaround is to drop the bombs at waypoint 3 instead of near the ships. Thanks Bolek

Has this bug been fixed? I am still seeing it with Mi-8, even with hot start. Thanks

Is v3 still going to be re-stocked at virpil-controls.eu or is it gone forever? If it is, any idea when? Thanks

What's the depth (horizontally) of the desktop clamp? Thanks

I would like to make a custom length cable from the GFII or GFIII base to the black box. What are the exact specs for the connector? As far as i can tell from googling images it looks like GX12 or GX16 4-pin female connector on both ends? Is that correct? if so then which size? I don't have one yet so I can't measure :confused: Also, it would be good to know the specs of the cable. Is there anything written on it? Thanks! Bolek

I have to partially disagree, somewhat ironically the free Su-25T has the most sophisticated autopilot in all of DCS.

Try Static Object->Russia->Warehouses->Ammunition depot in the Mission Editor. This used to be so hard to kill that only AI F-15E Strike Eagle with GBU-31V3B could do it (not even regular GBU-31 on the A-10C) :). But maybe things changed since then... Maybe Hornet can kill it?

No, it's fully modelled, it just doesn't have weapons.

Wags mentioned in a Hornet video that the similar problem in DCS F-18C does not exist in RL because of the different viewing angle. So perhaps it was not an issue in a real F-14 either.

OK, the crash happened again but this time earlier, shortly after PUSH. Interestingly, I did not get the "Send to ED" dialog that was mentioned in the newsletter (I did update today). DCS just exited. Somehow I doubt this is related to the mission but I will send you the log file by PM. EDIT: I could not figure out how to send file by PM so I am attaching it here, since it's not big. dcs.zip

Well, I played it again to get the log and of course now it didn't crash. I got much further than before. I failed the mission but that's because I am a lousy pilot, not a bug :-).

Looks great, thank you for creating it and sharing! But there must be some DCS bug because I always get a CTD on the attack run from Initial Point to Surface Target (before the pop-up) :-(

Thanks for sharing, maybe you can zip everything and add it to the user files section of the website?

Are you sure that the pilot was both alive and conscious? If not, none of the controls work.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but I found that for this kind of stunts Viggen is the best. It's possible to get down to about 2m (6ft) and you leave visible wake on the water :). Actually, I feel like I am limited by joystick precision, so one can maybe do even better.

No, -/+ are just annotations in the patch format (- delete line, + add line). So, remove the original "purposes" line and add this instead: purposes = {render_purpose.GENERAL} (without the +)

For the center display you have to modify Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group\AMPCD\indicator\AMPCD_init.lua, like this: --- Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group\AMPCD\indicator\AMPCD_init.lua 2018-09-26 10:49:03.326422800 -0700 +++ _backup.000\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group\AMPCD\indicator\AMPCD_init.lua 2018-09-17 18:13:49.642690300 -0700 @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ indicator_type = indicator_types.COMMON -- for test purposes HUD only added -purposes = {render_purpose.GENERAL, render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW} +purposes = {render_purpose.GENERAL} shaderLineParamsUpdatable = true shaderLineDefaultThickness = 0.8 shaderLineDefaultFuzziness = 0.5 For the left and right display look in Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group\MDI_IP1556A\indicator\MDI_init.lua

I think "George" has been used since the first analog autopilots (named after the inventor). The ubiquitous Bendix/King KAP-140 was also called "George" :).

For your own modules that's easy, in the Module Manager on the Installed tab you can see which modules have serial numbers and which don't.

Actually, it's pretty funny, the source that wikipedia quotes seems quite valid (they should know :)): https://web.archive.org/web/20110613004238/http://www.sukhoi.org/eng/planes/military/su33/arms/ and it agrees with you (no guided air to ground).
