The modification with lua files is quite powerfull. You can do a lots of things with it, especially for Pit Builders thats a big fat plus. unfortunately, in most cases, such a powerfull system is not easy to use if you are somewhat "casual user" in terms of modifiing DCS lua Files. Maybe you can suggest some easier option in the DCS General Forums? I havent testet it but it should work if you set the resolution of the exportet MFDs to 0px or maybe 1x1 and move it to x:0 and y:0. Then its technically still exportet but one pixel width and height in the upper left corner of your screen and for that reason invisible to you.

i dont think that its fully implementet right now, at least i didnt get Range Info from TACAN. Might be my fault but there is not much you can do wrong by using TACAN.

Take a look at the Trim Panel on the Left Console its right in front of the TEST Panel and then adjust your Trim that the needles are straight again.

Trimming is a regular Pilot function but you should learn it on another Plane. The F-16 FLCS does a good job on it mostly, so you almost exclusively just need a little bit of trim to conquer Async Loadouts. But you dont need (and shouldn apply any) trim in regular flight. So if you want to learm how to trim and how valuable it can be you should take a look at P-51 (Or TF-51 since its free and (except for the Guns) is basically the same Plane. Or Maybe the A-10 or F-18, depending which Modules you have. But dont Trim the F-16 unless its absolutely necessary which is only some Roll Trim in Async Loadouts or maybe with some sort of Battledamage. But you dont e.g. "Trim for Landing" Like you would on an F-18 or P-51.

Technically its very easy, you are right. But hard to master. Needs training. My main fault is that i begin to overcorrecting. Too much Pitch, steereing against the pitch but again too much and then you start to swing even more. In that case Throttle back, behind the Tanker, stabilize and again.... Takes practice.

There will be a setting you can change in the DED how many seconds before impact the Laser starts firing automaticly (e.g. 7 Seconds before impact). Then you only have to keep your target locked in the TGP until it makes Booom!

Is this Track enough? the trick is to enable the Auto Mode later. If not i can provide some Track where it jumps from STP 5 back to STP 1 if you enable Auto Mode on your way to STP 5 if you need it but i think it should be easy to reproduce.

Even in Zulu or UTC is no 40 o'clock ;) Maybe on Jupiter but not on Planet Earth.

Just curious: The DL Switch and the Maps Switch and also the Button for the TFR is not used in the Block 50. Why are they included in the first place? Well if they are not used they could just put them out. I think ED included them because they are in the Real thing (at least i think that might be the reason) i dont want to blame them to Replicate the Plane but still i dont understand why its in the Real thing?

you need that Pages as a PDF or Image and then you can use the Kneeboard Builder to integrate it in DCS. DCS Builder you can find somewhere in Mods Area.

While the Default settings first felt quite good i came to the conclusion that there is way too much Stick Movement needed. So i tried this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=261153 In Short Saturation in X and Y at 65 and now i have a very very responsive Plane. Besides RealismiIts a bit personal Taste so i suggest try it for a few flights and then decide.

do you have any link to your Squad Homepage? i would like to see if its based in Europe and so on before i sign in on a Course i cant finish because you fly when i sleep ;)

The Hotfix solved the Problem for me that VA doesnt work at all in terms of no command worked unless you hold the TX button for at least 1-2 Seconds longer than you talk... But Chatter had stopped working, i dont here any chatter.

hm.... i miss the step of confirming the coords on a regular basis, but never had any issues with my waypoints. no matter if stored HDG or normal Alignment. has anybody actual experienced consequences of not confirming the coords?

Ok one more question :) As statet before i want to stay simple at first it will get more complex later on, thats for sure. So the first Panel i try to build is the MISC Panel of the F-16. If i understood correctly all i need are the buttons and a Board. So, i thought i will use the Panel from hispapanels. https://hispapanels.com/tienda/en/f-16-center-console/6-f-16-misc-block-50.html The Buttons i need are listet there e.g. 4 ON - OFF - ON Switches and so on. At first i dont implement any lights so i pretty much ignore them for now. Just the correct Buttons at the correct position. Am i thinking correctly that if i use one of those Boards e.g. the 32 Button Box: http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=94&products_id=205 to connect one ON - OFF - ON Switch, Beginning at Button 1 i need to plug in one Cable to B1, GND, B2 (B2 GND stays Empty), then i continue to B3 for the next one (B3, GND, B4) and so on. Did i understand correctly? Its a little bit magic for me, im not sure if it is correct to let one GND always empty.... Well as i said im an absolute beginner at this so pls dont blame me for noob questions. Also can anybody point me to some F-16 Home Pit Plans? Tried to find something in Google but no Joy so far. I try to get the correct sizes and Dimensions so i can find the Buttons even if im in VR.

i dont know how it looked before but when i take a look in the Profile, there is a (voice disabled) behind every single Trasmit TX1-6 release or pressed. dunno if this was befor, just curious.

same issue like WOPR here. every command is diabled. all commands are editet like manual says. even if dcs is not startet this happens. the command is recognized by viacom but disabled. edit: oh and i dont have ARIO just plain viacom and chatter stuff.

so basically as long as you dont do very alignment sensitive stuff like dropping JDAMS you should be fine with Stored HDG. Well and since we dont have JDAMS currently.... As far as i can tell from a few tests the missalignment isnt that big of a deal for the current state of the Module, because with every AG Weapon so far you just need to come close to your destination, rest is done manually via TGP for example.

dont complain about priorities as long as you have no deeper insight in the daily work of this particular Dev Team. You simply cant know, just because its finished earlier doesnt mean its priority is higher, maybe they just want to finish something before they shifting ressources (shifting can lead to longer development times an bugs). thats all stuff you cant know unless you are working inside the ED Dev Department, so you shouldnt complain and highjack Threads with other Topics.

okay, am i right that i need any button or rotary and a board like this: http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=94&products_id=205 then plug the board in via USB and i should be able to push some weird buttons :P

Hi, im new in the Cockpit Building stuff and as a Designer i dont have much knowledge in electronics. So im searching for a somewhat basic introduction to what i need to get a custom button working in DCS (or basically any game). pls dont assume that i know anything but making the panel pretty. some basic introduction (link maybe) would be very nice.

same here. if you not start on WPT 1 with auto the plane went to the currently selectet STP and then switches back to one. Testet it yesterday wenn i flew manually to WPT 5 and then enabled Auto mode. When the plane arrived at WPT 6 it switches back to WPT 1 instead of 7 (which was an actual valid WPT in this Mission).

There are many commands allready there but i think we need a few more. For example: As a Warthog User i want to bind the Refuel Door and the Laser Arm switch to a Button. But currently there are no commands for that which can be bound without using Target. sure, implementing that switch in a modified input.cfg would be simple but its getting overriden every update so you have to do again and again and again.... Maybe it would also be an idea to give as some kind of checkbox (or something like that) for every input command to enable button press, much like "invert axis".

Thanks, looks interesting

Hi, havent found anything so far, What i want to achieve is an easy way to fire up DCS with VR disabled/enabled. Reason behind: if i just want to fly i do it in VR but generating Missions is no fun in VR so im searching for some startup parameter or anything like that to be able to start it without VR activatet so i dont need to go to the config, turn off.... wait for the restart.... and back again. Is there an easier way?
