  1. Perhaps Heatblur changed something in the latest update but this does not work anymore, Jester goes active again after the wake up call, it is no toggle anymore. This makes working with the targeting pod impossible as you have to switch between pilot and RIO continuously and jester sets the TCE active immediately if he gets a chance ;) Would it be possible to add a Jester activate/deactivate option like we have in the wheel? Thanks! Marcel
  2. Please see: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=239675
  3. Hi, Do I understand correctly that the LINK 4C mode can only be used in multiplayer? I cannot find how to find or set the frequency for my virtual wingman. Thanks! Marcel
  4. I might have found it, could it be "Wake up"? Is that a toggle? At least it seems to work. Two more questions, how do a change a steerpoint? (for example create one from coordinates or from a steerpoint label I set in the F10 map) Regarding the chaff prorgrams, where you can select a number, where are these programs defined? Thanks! Marcel
  5. Hi, Is it possible to set the RIO inactive like you can with the wheel? This is really useful for example when doing a lantirn attack. Regards, Marcel
  6. Ah, was trying to find some info using google and although I used the search function of the forum before posting that gave me two hits here and one on another forum (which I don't know if I'm allowed to link to here so I wont do that) on which also somebody apparently from heatblur replied. But what I get from it indeed in PD search the scale on the left indicates closure rate and the aspect switch moves the rate scale up and down it does not zoom (see one of the link for details). The closure rate mark on the right side is only shown in STT hence the vc switch only has an effect there. It is an error in the manual that it is mention to be shown in other modes then PD STT. Reply by 'gyrovague' from heatblur on the vs scaling: "OK, I checked our docs and the implementation again. AFAICT, it's correct, however it does not change the scaling of the DDD itself, only the Vc bug on the right hand side of the DDD in STT modes... It seems like it might be wrongly described in our manual therefore." https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=237319 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=236649 Hope this helps!
  7. Thanks, but indeed this I already got from the manual. However the manual is confusing on the scale and what influences it. Take the paragraph in the "AN/AWG-9 radar/Pulse Doppler Mode" section that starts with "The scale shown on the DDD (what rate region is shown) can be set by the Vc switch on the DDD panel. X-4 sets..." that seems not in line with how its working at the moment. So I'm still curious what the scale is used on the DDD in the different PD modes and how it is influenced by the aspect and x4 switches.
  8. Hi, After reading the manual and watching some video's on the subject I'm still puzzled about the DDD and scale in PD modes. If in PD non STT modes I thought I understood the scale was on the right side and either fixed (0-800) or influenced with the vcx4/norm/vid switch. However the Vcx4 switch does not make any difference when I have a target in PD showing closure, however if I change the Aspect switch to the left of the DDD that makes the target move in the DDD, so that one seems to influence scale. So in a PD non STT mode the scale is on the left and is the scale set with the aspect button? And what is the scale? If in PD STT if I'm right the right scale shows a line in the scale indicating closure (and indeed the line moves when I change the Vcx4 switch) but what scale is used? (Does not seem to be fixed as the line changes when I change the vcx4 switch position) On the left I see a target image as well that also shows closure but then depended on the aspect switch (as the target moves in the scale when I change that switch), correct? Also sometimes the RDROT is just lighted when I have a target locked, sometimes it is flashing, What is the difference in what it is indicating if it is just on vs flashing? Thanks, Marcel
  9. Hi, Saw this in the release notes: "Added radar beam structure emulation to the RWR". Does anybody knows what it means? Regards, Marcel
  10. Thanks, that helped! Working now. Best, Marcel
  11. Hi, I have a problem that my added kneeboard pages do not show up, guess it is not a bug as it seems to be working for others. I copy them into the C:\Users\bla\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\F14 folder as that one is created by kneeboardbuilder, and the folder of the plane is in the game folder is Mods\aircraft\F14. The same pages when copied in another planes kneeboard folder do work, so they seem to be okay. I also tried to use a Kneeboard\F14B and F14-B folder (as somehow some of the kneeboard pages zip files I downloaded want to put them there) but that also does not work. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Thanks! Marcel
  12. I never even noticed this in the manual but it must indeed be the display at the right knee as that displays the exact same thing as the pilots HSD in NAV. I looked everywhere in the RIO cockpit but I cannot find a switch to change what it is displaying
  13. Hi, If I may ask as enabling the jester Menu Wheel is not mentioned in the 2.5.1 release notes under the "planned for upcoming updates" section is this still something you are looking into? Or is this technically not feasible? Kind Regards, Huppel
  14. I do not have an afterburner detent on my throttle. Could we have an option like the FA-18 to make the detent bindable to a button?
  15. Saw that there is no fix yet in today's beta. Is there any idea on when we might expect a fix? I bought the Blue Nose Bastards campaign (before I knew of this problem) and it is no fun flying this with unlimited fuel...
  16. Thanks, this helped! Took a while to figure out what was going on after I decided to fire up the Mustang after some time. Was this problem recently introduced? Cannot remember I noticed it before. Will it be fixed? Best Regards, Huppel
  17. Hi, I just tried to watch a track with my oculus rift and noticed the head tracking goes all weird (using latest open beta) when doing that, like your head is in a fixed position. When just flying a mission all is fine. Is this a known problem? Best, Marcel
  18. I certainly like the more detailed training missions very much, I learn a lot more than just "click here". Also splitting them up in short versions next to the detailed main one and presenting alternative challenges in these (e.g. night version) is really a great idea! Thanks for all the effort!
  19. Am I missing something or is it still not working in 2.5 (both cockpit switch set and hotas button assigned\pressed)? Best, Marcel
  20. Hi, When setting the altimeter pressure also two triangular indexes move and on page 96 of the manual I found it is described what they mean and how they should be used. From what I understand they can be used to get the QFE for a higher landing place, correct? Reading the manual it is not clear for me how that should be done. Best, Marcel
  21. Am I the only experiencing that the training missions do not work (like described above the instructions just do not begin)? Still not working for me in 2.5.1 Beta, the campaign itself and other missions do work. Best, Marcel
  22. Hi, I'm flying the training missions that are delivered with the game and until last patch everything worked well but now suddenly nothing is happening when I start the mission, no voice telling me what is expected. Like the begin trigger is missing. Somebody else has the same problem? Best, Marcel
  23. Hi, I really start to like VIACOM, hard to live without it when playing DCS! What still troubles me is how to selecting a recipient works (with and without "use instant select"). For example with use instant select on: I take off at Batumi, select Batumi AM freq, say "Batumi Inbound" -> works ok After this change the AM freq to Kobuleti, say "Kobuleti Inbound", gets processed in VA perfectly (so understands Kobuleti) but in the sim it requests "Batumi inbound" instead and of course no respone... Whatever I try I cannot get it to request "Kobuleti Inbound", like it always automatically selects the nearest airfield. If I use the sim menus it all just works. What am I doing wrong? If I do not use instant select, I cannot get the select statement to work. It understands correctly for example "Kobuleti, ... Select" but then states in the VA window "awaiting additional input" and nothing seems to have happened. Should I say something immediately after the select statement? Marcel
  24. Hi, I'm want to add a few commands to the aux category. Reading the manual I do not immediately understand how to do that. I guess I do not need to add them using the keywords editor but only add them to the VA profile, but how? I also read the section in the manual on how to update the VA profile when you use the keyword editor but I do not completely understand what to do. Which command in the VA profile do I need to select to replace "when I say" part? Thanks! Marcel
