Lymark

Thanks! It seems like something that would work for me too! However, after watching the only guide video online, I'm still kinda confused with the software. I'm only roughly 1% off on the throttle, I'm pretty sure I have to edit the calibration numbers, but I can't figure out how that numbers work exactly yet. Any tips?

I've probably re-calibrated my throttle like 20 times now with the Thrustmaster's calibration tools, and I still can't get both left/right throttle properly aligned. The axes is a bit off by about 1~300 in between, min/max setting are fine tho. There's a configuration file created by the tool with a lot of numbers in it, maybe I could edit some numbers and fix the problem?

Got my Warthog for a few days now, still haven't played with it much as I'm building a table mount for it, and I want my first hand experience to be as good as possible(Got an extension and planning on sanding and lubing). Was reading some posts and found out that there're some flaws on the ball gimbal. The one that I concerned the most is the axes blending issue. It sounds bad and seems like something that cannot be fixed. However, I wonder if it's really that big of a deal in reality when you're trying to perform some precision aiming and movements, esp. on WWII planes as I fly them the most? Side question: I've calibrated my stick with the calibration tools, went to TARGET device analyzer, and I'm having a hard time getting the stick all the way to 10&2, 4&8 o'clock positions. I could get to x,y 65535 in 4&8 If I pull it with more force, but short of ~ 1-3000 in 10&2(So like, x 62000 y 3000 at 2'olock and x1500 y 1500 at 10). Not that I'd go that far, but I just wanna make sure that it's normal. Thanks!

Thank you guys for the help! I finally get it worked after using Autohotkey. That one key is all i needed so I don't really wish to get too deep into TARGET. But I'll definitely take note of what you guys mentioned regarding to it, just in cause I'd need to use it in the future. :)

I just received my Warthog today, set up pretty much everything without using the T.A.R.G.E.T software. I don't really like using joystick software cause I always feel like it's quite complicated and I don't need it to get the job done. Now, the voice com software that I use doesn't support joystick PTT key. So, I gotta to use T.A.R.G.E.T and assign a joystick key into a keyboard key . I turned one of the Joystick buttons into caps lock for PTT, it worked just fine. However, it ended up the virtual caps lock key was the only one that was working, while other axis and buttons were unresponsive. I reckon I'd have to compose a completely new joystick profile entirely in order to get it to work? Or, is there any way I could simply set up one button without having to mess with other keys?

http://i.imgur.com/BiwTOHT.jpg My trees are looking weird for some reason. I think I've installed Barthek's Ground textures mod before, and it might be the reason? Speaking of which, any clue how to disable GTM? Since it was a copy&paste mod instead of JSGME.

Is it something that could be easily adjusted from ED's end? Because it sounds like a foundation core that can't be changed unless they completely redesign their engine or coding.

I'm kinda confused...The SAM locked and launched at the Huey, but you're still getting the tone? Oh well, I guess the lock tone ain't really reliable until I hear the launch tone then.

Understood! Thanks for answering!:)

Say I'm in a close formation with a Huey, and an enemy SAM locked and launched at the Huey, will my RWR able to pick up both symbols? Or Will I have to be targeted in order to receive the threat? Thanks!

I didn't notice that, so where the hell is the gyro switch? :P

I've been kicked on the server for being ping too high(300ish,playing in Asia) today, and unable to join back since... Are you guys only testing this temporarily, or am I forever screwed? :/ I hope it's the former as I'm planning to join a clan and go fully dedicated on this server. :/

Since we've got the Viviane for the HOT, drop down sight for both GIAT Gun, rocket pod, I wonder what's the usage of the Athos sight? AA missiles i guess?

Dear Poly, I'm not sure what kind of sighting system this is on the copilot side , but do you guys have any plan to implement it in the future?

I noticed there's some sort of 'telescope' that the co-pilot uses in these videos, is that something that we'll be getting for the rocket pot and stuff?

Speaking of collision, that happened to the spawn that I was using. I spawned and 'teamkilled 'another player that was at the same helipad. I forgot to take note on which spawn slot tho. Will let you know if it happens again.

Hello guys, this is my first time playing in such server with the gazelle(Blue side). Was kinda confused what to do at first, looked up the chat and finally figured where the action is. However, there were only two spawn slots that's available for the gazelle, and it was near the coast, and the ongoing conflict were at MM05 about 131nm from my base, which means that it would take me roughly an hour just to fly there, probably able to carry two HOT missiles at most. Is that normal? It just sounds a little ridiculous. I'm probably doing something wrong,right?

Thanks! It's alright now :P Are there any new stuff that I should be awared of as well? Because I don't think any of these were mentioned in the new update.

I haven't had any problem with the Gazelle since its release, until this week's patch where the engine blows up after the rotor RPM reaches 39000. 1)Turn on batt/alter/gene 2)Fuel pump, wait for 20sec, then starter to on 3)At 25000 turbine RPM, release rotor brake, fuel lever 1/4 open 4) Wait for both RPM sync then fuel lever full open (Usually around 30000 RPM) 5) Now, that's where the funny thing happens, The turbine RPM rapidly increases to 43500 RPM within a sec or two while the rotor RPM increases at a normal speed, as soon as the rotor RPM hit 39000, I hear a big boom, both RPM decrease and I see many bullet holes on the engine. Weirdest thing is that, I restart and activate the auto start procedure, it starts up exactly like aforementioned, but it runs just fine. Is this a bug or something? Edit: Nevermind, turned out it's something new they added on the new update. Gotta increase the fuel lever slowly.

Maybe the OP is referring to the FM between 2.0 and 1.5? I remember at the first week release, that thing is kinda hard to handle, then it's completely opposite after the release of 1.5.3 OB(With the rudder improvement). Or maybe I've gotten better :P

I usually have no problem going into hover really quick at low alt. However, I find it a little tricky to make a perfect hover(manually) at higher alt. Cause It's kinda hard to tell 'visually' whether I'm still slightly moving forward or not.

Oh well.. let's hope for next week i guess!

Does DCS update every friday or something?

It works! Thank you! Had to edit the last section at the bottom of the logbook.

Was flying mission 8, where you simply fly an hour long patrol. I followed the flight plan from the PDF file as close as possible, landed back at base but it didn't consider as mission accomplished. I might have missed one way point slightly, which there's no way to tell which out of 32 waypoints! It's kinda suck. I left the mission and failed, dropped me back to mission 7. I looked up the logbook file willing to skip it instead, but i'm not sure how to edit it cause the numbers doesn't make sense to me. (The mission I previously finished was mission 7, but the following numbers were 1) ["player"] = "Lymark", ["campaign"] = "./Mods/aircraft/SA342/Missions/en/Campaigns/CMPGaz_en.cmp", ["status"] = "Active", ["history"] = { [1] = { ["datetime"] = "05/08/16 00:16:13", ["agKills"] = 1, ["aaKills"] = 0, ["stage"] = 1, ["deathsCount"] = 0, ["result"] = 100, ["mission"] = "CMPGaz1VEN.miz", }, -- end of [1] I know that I'm supposed to change the numbers of 'History','stage' and the name of 'mission'. I did change it to '9' but then I'd get a loading screen freeze after pressing campaign on the menu. Any help? Thanks! Edit: Okay, i just noticed the datetime is 05/08/16 which is few days ago, and the most recent play is at the bottom of the file. I'm even more confused now.. Isn't the active one supposed to be on top like the on I posted up here?
