Yes, I love this module too. I'm a F-16C guy (fast movers in general), but I just had to get this one as my first prop plane, as it's the most beautiful of the era and beyond. Got to give kudos to M3, thanks guys! Of course, things to fix, things to add, lots to do, but we got us a Corsair now! Good day!, DrDetroit

I can't get this thing to turn at all unless I give it a <profanity> ton of throttle, then it's uncontrollable and I can't steer at all. Man, what a pain! No problem with any other module. Thrustmaster Warthog, Saitek combat pro pedals, working great. Not sure what gives, but this is frustrating. EDIT: seems using differential braking is the only way to turn while taxiing.

Yea, the scary part is I've been flying DCS since the 2008 release lol! I'm still working on my competency with this baby. Even got the TM Warthog HOTAS, and Saitek Pro rudder pedals many moons ago; but yea, been a long time since last flight though. Anyhow, I was sooo hoping they had evolved the ATC and comms by now, was a bit disappointed to find that nothing has changed in this regard but, hey, this ain't F4 BMS after all. But I'm loving the multi thread - sooo smoooth with high FPS, and this is a very pretty sim as well, so there is that!

Yup, finally figured that out after redoing the training for carrier takeoffs - apologies good sir! But I do appreciate your assistance! EDIT: BTW, dig your handle; ode to Max Verstrappen and the legend Ayrton Senna! Good day! DrDetroit

Comms-1 and Comms-2 are bound to TM Warthog throttle comms switch. No issues other than SC - but may be my mistake; I think I need to contact ground first before taxing to the cat. Going to try again shortly. EDIT: No, I guess that's not the issue. There is no option to request taxi unless I'm training carrier takeoffs. Odd. EDIT EDIT: I just did the training again, and seems there is no need to request taxi when on flight deck. Thought that was a thing, guess not.

Hello all, I setup a mission, taking off from the Stennis, but when I use comms (using advanced comms - easy comms off), I select ATC, then Stennis, but there is nothing in the next menu, only option to return to previous menu. I just updated to latest this morning, worked fine prior to the update. Anybody else having this issue and/or knows how to resolve it? Thanks and good day, DrDetroit

Seems this company took a dump! Good day! DrDetroit

Sorry for the rudeness, but that guy deserved it and started it in the first place!, I simply replied to his comment. I think a warning is a bit much, my first in 10years here, but ok. AnyhowI will actually buy that Supercarrier this weekend, when x-mas break starts here at Boeing. Sounds like what I’m after as far as ATC goes. Last but not least; not upset with ED, was just pointing out a few fundamental issues, no disrespect meant! DCS is a very awesome piece of work, I just hoping for a few things to happen. good day! DrDetroit

Yea, remember that flight sim scam 15-20years ago called Hangar-18, some crap like that. Screens kinda looked amazing for it’s day, and people paid for access to Hangar-18 for full updates and first look; well there never was a first look, they took whatever monies they pulled from folks and quickly left the building lol. Yes, we are lucky that ED is full on, high fidelity flight simming, and looks great too. They need to get the ATC and ATO working though- I mean F4/BMS has had a full working ATC and ATO for damn near 25years. I use to get put in line as like number 10-12 in takeoff orders at times the airport was so busy. Then inbound would usually get an orbit position instead of clear-to-land for the same reason; and once it’s your turn ATC contacts you with CTL vectors. Plus, if you dial into the airport freq, you can hear ATC talking to all the a/c it’s handling…quite impressive and amazing!! It’s a real working airport and ATC! Come on ED, let’s get ‘er done already! Such a fine sim w broken ATC, pathetic wingman commands and zero ATO. EDIT: of course you can’t have ATO w/out a dynamic campaign but for the love of all that’s holy, fix the ATC and wing commands…simple things like ‘declare fuel’, ‘status’, drop tanks, ‘contacts’, etc. Still, love DCS! Keep it up Ed!! Good day! DrDetroit

Alt hold works, so does Att hold, which is on the pitch switch, which also activates the AP. He has to set roll switch as well, which I’d bet a dollar to a donut that he is default setting which is heading, not steer point (roll switch full down for steer point, not centered). Again, F16 AP is fully functional and no issues. Def pilot error. I can fly all waypoints hands off, if necessary.

The AP works just fine, I use it daily You probably have it set to course/heading and not altitude/attitude. I have absolutely no issues with it. EDIT: you also have to set desired roll setting, not just pitch setting.

Ah, ok. I'm running MT, will try the beta. Thanks for the quick response! Good day! DrDetroit

Hello there, I just purchased your DLC, it looks like a lot of fun, but I can't get it to install, I get an error "Unknown Module - Ground Pounder Sims F-16 First In Weasles Over Syria campaign". Any idea what that issue is? Below is the log. Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the answer, this is what I kind of figured. Great map, maybe I'll need to just install the standalone version.

Sorry if this has been asked already; I have the Nevada NTTR for the stand alone version of DCS, however, I'd like to move the NTTR map to the Steam version; is this possible and if so how? Thanks and good day! DrDetroit

Ok, thanks for the explanation.

I thought when TTI hits 16 sec, and start flashing, that's when AIM-54 goes pitbull; is this incorrect? Wonder if I wait longer to extend I'll have higher hit ratio - I usually extend at 16 sec (TTI) and typically launch at <40nm.and end up with roughly 50% hit ratio.

I'm not sure but is the F8 salute the same as the Lshift+U command? Thought I read they are two different actions...anyhow, give it a try.

^^This right here! Well worth the money, and get the pro-clip if you can. I have both the pro-clip and hat clip; the hat clip is ok, but not as precise as the pro-clip for headphones. The interface in fantastic and once you get the curves properly set it's so natural to look around. Good luck! DrDetroit

You'll see the bugged target start to flash in the TID repeater while in TWS, at about 16 sec to impact.

Cool, thanks for the explanation! I'm now looking forward to it as well! Love the B model, my fav module so far. So I know I'll love the A model. BTW: from photos I've seen of the A model office, are the avionics, radar, and such the similar to the B?

Just curious why everyone seems anxious for the F-14A? We have hi-fidelity A+ (B), why the excitement for a early, less capable, model?

Yes, me too! I think the best module to date. I was skeptical and purchased the F/A-18. The F-14 being a bit older and steam gauges everywhere, but after the F-14B free trial, I was hooked totally and 100%. Haven't touched the 18 since. I do really enjoy the Huey too, alot! But right now the F-14 is my go to. Good day, DrDetroit

At the top of the menu above, set TASK to refueling. Barring that, just delete it and redo/replace. I had same basic issue, even though setup properly. I deleted it, redid the waypoints, and it worked. Good luck! DrDetroit

Thanks guys. Yes, I turned off the windows USB power management in device mangler, just incase. I should have done the Win update check first, instead of last! Although I've been meaning to clean out of DCS file, so I guess there's that. But as of yet, looks like all is well.
