TM Warthog without extension and I am playing with -7 and -7 curves for pitch and roll. Jury is still out but it seems to have a pretty large deadzone naturally. F-18 I use +15 and +15 curves.
-
Same problem for me except I found it toggled on and of with DMS Right Long. I will have to try DMS Down Long and Up Long.
-
Ok that helps and is good to know. Maybe I screwed it up by binding something??? I will go back and check. It flew great and rolled great after I got the flaps up!
-
On my first flight I took off and pulled the gear up. I noticed that the roll rate was limited as described by others in this thread. I started looking at things trying to figure it out which led me to an outside view that showed my flaps still extended. I would have to go back and look at what I had to switch but it may have been that I programmed to the auto mode. But it was not that way when I found it first flight. (Warthog Hotas) (When I say programmed I mean my flaps switch on the HOTAS)
-
I noticed a dramatically different performance in roll rate depending on the flap setting.

Why is True North heading not the default for the HUD?

All the objects on Stennis stacks together
Txshooter38 replied to ravenzino's topic in Mission Editor Bugs
Dido. This happened when I switched out my flight of f-18's to different aircraft to deal with the D/L issue. -
Yep....same problem here. Angels 22, clear weather, no mountains and nothing in the way. 6-8 miles and it appears to drop the link. I can't remember if the tacan was on or not....

How to navigate to airfield without TACAN or ADF?

How to navigate to airfield without TACAN or ADF?
Txshooter38 replied to imacken's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
Yep. I am probably about to show my ignorance but I think I heard it was magnetic deviation???? But you are correct the runway number is only what I consider an approximation of the actual heading you need. If you google "approach plates" for Caucaus you should find a pdf that has all of the correct info you are looking for. (Patterns, tower channels, GPS, etc) -

I have the approach plates for the airports in my kneeboard. They contain the gps coordinates for the runway thresholds. You can manually enter these as a waypoint so you have the exact center of the runway, not a tacan that is typically off to the side. That and the correct runway heading and you have everything you need without using f10. Also a good way to manage 0/0 conditions without ILS. -
What have you done that real pilots can't or don't Do?

Taken off from the carrier without a Cat shot..... -
10-4. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of what is available as a work around as it sits right now. Keep at it even though it is frustrating. I was going NUTS not being able to do it and then one day...... Keep tinkering with your curves and trying some of the tips in this thread. You never know which day your are going to sit down and it is going to click. I sure didn't!

If you are unable to refuel mid air there is already an option for unlimited fuel. Seems like that would solve the problem of wanting to fly certain mission but not being able to because of fuel constraints.
-
Fantastic. I haven't been able to fly in a few days so that is great news. I am not into "winging" it with the lights off and accidently slamming into the back of the carrier.....especially after a 1.5 hour flight. It really puts a damper on the mood.

Unable to get landing clearance in Open Beta
Txshooter38 replied to hippomormor's topic in General Bugs
Yep. I cannot get the carrier landing lights to kick on because it will not give me a "Request Landing" option (which use to pop up all the time) after the inbound. It only gives an "Abort Inbound" option no matter how close I get to the boat. -
Something to keep in mind is that there is a "freeze" function with track ir. By a certain keystroke you can make it "freeze" and stop functioning. You may want to check your keybinding. Also on my setup the lights on the front of the Track ir sensor change color when you "freeze" tracking. May have been the problem...maybe not...just thought this may help.

Help with Campaign....Keep getting shot down.

It was Georgia Hammer Ca Campaign....I think mission 4-0-0 or something to that effect. -
Help with Campaign....Keep getting shot down.
Txshooter38 replied to Txshooter38's topic in DCS: A-10C Warthog
That helps a bunch. Thanks guys....I did not realize I needed to request their help. I will try the other campaign as well. I just figured there was something I was doing wrong... -
I have been playing for about a month now and have recently decided to attempt the campaign mode. While the first few missions went smoothly (for the most part) I am now having a very difficult time with being intercepted by fighters. I note that there are friendly fighters attempting to sweep but I always seem to get jumped about the time I am trying to get in hot and my cover never seems to cover. I have been shot down after I completed my mission by trying to shoot that one last tank. From now on I am getting in, getting done, and getting out. I know the best tactic is avoidance but they (fast movers) seem to be everywhere around the target area and I end up running tail tucked until I just can't dodge anymore missiles. Any advise would be welcome.
