Strange: I have also Kaspersky Internet Security installed, but had no problem at all during any DSC1.5 open beta installation, update or modules.

A10c TMS open beta 1.5 bug
Andryl replied to BudgietheLittleHelicopter's topic in DCS: A-10C Warthog
The same problem happened to me a couple of days ago: with TGP as SOI I pressed TMS fwd long, then pressed China Hat fwd long and the TGP jumped to the steerpoint. It didn't happen with Maveric as SOI. Hope this helps -
Can't believe it! Thanks a lot ED! :clap_2::clap_2:

DCS: F-14A/A+/B by Heatblur Simulations coming to DCS World!
Andryl replied to Cobra847's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
From Wikipedia: Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night, or LANTIRN, is a combined navigation and targeting pod system for use on the USAF's premier fighter aircraft — the F-15E Strike Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon (Block 40/42 C & D models). LANTIRN significantly increases the combat effectiveness of these aircraft, allowing them to fly at low altitudes, at night and under-the-weather to attack ground targets with a variety of precision-guided weapons. LANTIRN consists of a navigation pod and a targeting pod mounted externally beneath the aircraft: The AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod provides high-speed penetration and precision attack on tactical targets at night and in adverse weather. The navigation pod also contains a terrain-following radar and a fixed thermographic camera, which provides a visual cue and input to the aircraft's flight control system, enabling it to maintain a pre-selected altitude above the terrain and avoid obstacles. This sensor displays an infrared image of the terrain in front of the aircraft, to the pilot, on a Head-up display. The navigation pod enables the pilot to fly along the general contour of the terrain at high speed, using mountains, valleys and the cover of darkness to avoid detection. The AN/AAQ-14 targeting pod contains a high-resolution, forward looking infrared sensor (which displays an infrared image of the target to the pilot), a laser designator/rangefinder for precise delivery of laser-guided munitions, a missile boresight correlator for automatic lock-on of the AGM-65 Maverick imaging infrared missiles, and software for automatic target tracking. LANTIRN with the F-14 Tomcat Until the early 1990s, the F-14 Tomcat didn't have clearance to drop bombs even though all Tomcats were built with a Stores Management System (SMS) that included air-to-ground options as well as rudimentary software in the AWG-9... ... In late 1994, an unsolicited proposal from Martin Marietta was initiated to demonstrate how a USAF LANTIRN targeting pod could be rapidly integrated onto the Tomcat. This effort was done under the auspices of COMNAVAIRLANT using a fleet aircraft to integrate the digital 1553-based pod on an analog F-14B. In March 1995 a VF-103 fleet aircraft successfully dropped the first laser-guided training rounds (LGTR) and quickly laser-guided bombs (LGB). Due to the early success and interest from Fleet Commanders, NAVAIR began to procure pods and control units for deployment, resulting in VF-103 receiving the first LANTIRN pod June 14, 1996 in time for its upcoming deployment.The basic LANTIRN was modified into LANTIRN Targeting System (LTS), the navigation pod was removed from the two-pod system and the targeting pod was improved for Tomcat use. The LTS featured a Global Positioning System and inertial measurement unit that provided the pod line-of-sight cueing and weapon release ballistics and eliminated the need for external cumbersome and time consuming boresight equipment. Unlike the early versions, the LTS performed all weapon release calculations and presented release cues that it had generated to the aircrew. The LTS also had a masking avoidance curve display (preventing firing the laser at the jet) and eventually a north orientation curve and 40,000 feet capable laser. The latter became very useful allowing F-14s to employ LGBs above potential threat systems and it came into its own in the higher terrain in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. The LTS could also generate coordinates for any target located on the FLIR, and a latter software modification, known as T3 (Tomcat Tactical Targeting) increased the accuracy of the coordinates produced by the LTS and allowed generated coordinates for GPS/INS guided weapons (JDAM, JSOW and WCMD). The first combat use of this was in OEF when an F-14 generated coordinates for a B-52 that dropped CBU-103 WCMD (Wind-Corrected Munitions Dispenser), which is basically an INS-guided cluster bomb from over 40,000 feet. These weapons scored hits on a vehicle convoy that had stopped after the first vehicle was destroyed by the Tomcat with LGBs. The pod also featured an internal computer with ballistics data for the various precision munitions carried by the F-14. Data is fed to the pod by the Tomcat’s AWG-9 (F-14A and F-14B) and AN/APG-71 (F-14D) radar, but the LTS in turn only sends video and guidance symbology to the crew's cockpit displays. All pod controls are in the RIO’s cockpit, but the bomb release button is situated with the pilot. The LTS had a price tag of around 3 million US Dollars each and due to these high costs, only 75 were bought for fleet use. -
Yep, i've just added some time ago the mod morevisibility! Thanks a lot and Merry Christmas! :santa:

After long time i've tried to fly the Eagle again, and I've found a strange bug: numbers and letters on the HUD, radar and MFD are not readable (attached screenshot). The same with the SU-27. Has anyone experienced the same problem or is there any suggestion? (I've already tried a repair without success)

Ok, and now for something completely different....
Andryl replied to Anatoli-Kagari9's topic in DCS: Bf 109 K-4 Kurfürst
Thanks for the suggestions! :) One more question: during take-off, a lot of times the plane goes left even if I have full rudder right. Is it a matter of propeller blade pitch (to be set to a specific value and not auto) or am I missing something? Thanks in advance! -

Andryl replied to Anatoli-Kagari9's topic in DCS: Bf 109 K-4 Kurfürst
Take-off: really unpredictable on that torque effect. Even if I try to counteract it, sometimes it flips up-down my plane. Landing: I don't find it very bouncing (sometimes I have more problems with the P-51). I find more difficult to keep it straight: as soon as it start moving sideways, it looses balance and touches the ground with one wing (with bad outcomes...) -
Nope: you can use it with different HOTAS. I use it with the Saitek x-52 pro, so I guess it's not a programmable separate function: the simulator recognises a continuous input.

Ok: I missed the TMS Up short. I will give it a try this evening. Thanks a lot!

Sorry, what do you mean with "lock button"? the force correlation one (boat switch center)? Because when I use the above cited procedure, the Mav is stabilized to the target, but I cannot launch it because it says it hasn't a valid lock: I'm forced to slew it a bit sideways and move again it on the target. Thanks in advance

Great idea and thanks a lot, sir! I'm in too!! :pilotfly:

Public inquiry. What is your PC video card?

Sure: it's a quite a good way..... now that a know it :lol:

Thanks a lot, Blaze! You were absolutely right: that command was mapped to my x52 rotary axes. Again thank you :thumbup:

Hi everyone, yesterday evening I found my radar was not functioning anymore..... This means that the "Scan zone up" and "down" controls were not responding anymore, neither on my Hotas (X52 pro) or on the keyboard, and it was contantly set to al altitude range of 0-0 (not useful at all :doh:) All the other controls were functional: i tried to re-map those controls, to delete the joystic and Keyboard files under the directory Saved Games/DCS/...., but nothing worked so far. Has anyone an idea or should I try a repair? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, a small little problem: after one mission I was awarded the "dannebrogordenen ridderkors af 1. grad" medal, but the program said the texture was missing. Any way to replace or find it? Thanks in advance
