The only time I've heard of people not being able to accelerate has been game Physics/avionics mode engage in the gameplay/realism settings. Don't know if that applies here.

You guys made sure you have at least one steerpoint in the jet from the mission editor?

I think that's what he meant.

Turn the brightness down. There is a rocker on the bottom corner of the MFD. Just like real life ;)

VR zoom doesn't work for you? I prefer sitting further back and using zoom liberally.

Do Mk-82s actually hit when CCRP'd now?

It’s really obvious that it won’t go back and automatically update old missions and campaigns. Mission makers will have to swap it over to the SC version and release a different version of the campaign/mission. This isn’t that difficult. To expect anything else is going to lead to disappointment.

Well you sound like you’re too close and low probably. I put my head where the pilots head would normally be. Also in VR

Wha? How heavy are you landing and are you aerobraking correctly because Nellis should be EASY to get it stopped in. I can land it at Novo which is barely 6000ft, 10000ft of Nellis shouldn't require any heavy braking.

Yeah TARGET just causes problems for me. I used to use it but now I don't bother.

Aligning the two alignment crosses vertically works for me.

I was not being negative! I was saying I forgot about that option lol hence the "derp" and the :doh:

Have you tried that in my 25 knot crosswind mission in the first post? It won’t work hehe.

Yes. I have several times. It’s easier with a heavily loaded jet/asymmetrically loaded jet. What usually works is getting up to high altitude. Pitch up to 50ish degrees and start rolling in whatever direction you like. After a couple of rolls add and hold full into roll rudder and full up elevator and you should be able to defeat the AoA limited and depart from controlled flight. Make sure you’re in Cat-1 as Cat-3 is designed to help protect against that kind of departure in the first place. I think the jet is a little too departure resistant so far but sure, you can get it into a falling leaf or flat spin that requires MPO to recover.

The HUD brightness is controlled by the top left white vertical scroll knob on the ICP. The same knob you use to turn the HUD on when you start the jet.

Derp. Yeah or you can do that. :doh::lol: Just be aware the file will get overwritten every time the sim updates so you'll have to go back and re-edit it.

Short Answer - Nope. Long Answer - Nope, but there will be once the data cartridge stuff that ED are working on comes to fruition. Should be able to set a bunch of presets in the special options menu I'd guess.

Nope. It's there for a reason, because of the aircrafts divergent nature in pitch, above the AoA limit the aircraft departs from controlled flight and rather enjoys flying backwards. Manual pitch override is for getting the aircraft out of the deep stall/falling leaf/flat spin that usually follows once you somehow overcome the AoA limiter. You have to hold the MPO switch on and then rock the nose up and down like a swing in order to get it back under the AoA limit and get it flying again.

I see that more as just Wags being realistic about what people get up to inside DCS sometimes rather then asking people to do it lol. I agree with your second point though - should require a repair though if you do it online so that it can't be abused.

Well.. The F-16 we have doesn't have a FOX-1 so your question isn't really that relevant here tbh. But there is a good thread on the F-18 forum about this very subject. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=262690

Yep that works well. MSL STEP to CCIP then change steerpoint and back to CCRP, I haven't tried it but I guess MSL Override on the Dogfight switch would probably work as well.

That’s what the HUD says, but if you look at your FCR you can see by the radar location carats that it’s not always scanning where it should be scanning. Usually while having the JHMCS activated but hidden.

Have you tried starting the Jet with the Dogfight switch set to ACM before you start?

Happened only once or a regular thing for you?

That is correct behaviour, STT should give the other aircraft a lock warning where as TWS shouldn’t
