    Enable zoom axis control for 9k113 sight

    in DCS: Mi-24P Hind

    Posted · Edited by randomTOTEN

    hmm

    So Petrovich can hold a pair of binoculars in his hands at 9.5x and look in any direction.

    Or he can look at his periscope, which is hard mounted to the aircraft at 10x, and look gyro stabilized with limited pan and zoom. But this awkward inferior setup guides ATGM.

    It seems like a fair implementation to me...

    Now I'm being accused of whining. 🙄

    I made a single post, which was 1 line. It spawned a 5 post response before I could even reply.

    I'm not making a bug report. You all know this is the situation. It's clear in every reply you make. Here's your bug report.

    it's from 2019 btw.

     

    This isn't a discussion of a bug report, and it isn't in the bug forum. It's about what it's like as a new user that's trying to do the DCS World activities that come with a module. I made a single line venting my frustration and I've since moved on. I think it would be nice if everybody else would too.

    And lets not derail this further with calls for redundant bug reports.

    Have some fun and lighten up.

    I was trying to have some fun in the instant action mission: F-14>Nevada>Cold Start, and getting an introduction to my new virtual jet using https://heatblur.se/F-14Manual/procedures.html >Checklists - Pilot. When I ran into a problem. I wasn't seeing things I was being told I would see.

    Okay, I must not be understanding it. So I searched said manual https://heatblur.se/F-14Manual/general.html which told me I should be seeing these things... but I'm not.

    Great.

    Okay, lets try the training missions. TRAINING>Basics - Pilot Cold Start. Perfect, exactly what I needed. It will guide me through step by step. Big floating yellow boxes. I can't get this wrong. Okay, nope, not seeing it there. Well shucks, maybe there's some trick I'm missing, I'll search the forum.

    Okay here we are. Okay, a bunch of users are coming in here telling me I'm asking for useless stuff. Too deep. Who cares. Just fly the plane.

    I'm trying to fly the plane!

    Preload Radius 60000. SA-24S Igla-S. Broad daylight, standing alone in an empty field.

    First Petrovich Igla AI detection 9.86km, I can't see it using the 10x zoom.

    First Player (Me) Igla visual detection 6.46km.

    65% of the Petrovich detection range.

    3400m difference, probably dependent on my settings. 1400m outside of the F10 displayed max detection radius.

    Missile Launch approximately 2.85km (took 2 seconds to find the pause key). 28% of Petrovich range, 44% of my visual identification range.

    Make your own conclusions.

    Here's a nice quote from your own manual.

    Quote

    To access the normal, unassisted startup, select startup, Jester will then go through his checklist. He will at times ask the pilot if he has completed certain checks or ask for specific tests, this is answered via the Jester menu using the options appearing there. As an example he will start by asking for a comms check which is answered via the Jester menu. Note that after engine startup and EMERG GEN Master test he will ask for what INS alignment to go for, select this via the Jester menu as well.

    https://heatblur.se/F-14Manual/dcs.html#assisted-startup

    So is this routine also broken? Or are we able to work around this? I guess I'm going to find out..

    The first thing you're supposed to do is go fly the thing.

    I've had Flaming Cliffs 3 for a long time...

    Anyways, I had to start the Tomcat at night just to see the fire detection lights.. so now at least 3 out of the 12 tests work. The major missing one is the emergency generator test. It appears to not be modeled at all. Not like silly little things like emergency generators matter to users that just "go fly the thing." But it's a nice surprise when running the official training mission (which tells you how to do it while you sit there seeing it not work.) Or heaven forbid you crack open the checklist in the official manual.

    I'm not sure any module we have so far has the tests modeled that deeply.

    These are tests that are supposed to be performed on every single startup according to these procedures. If they don't work, the jet is grounded. I think you vastly underestimate the level of detail of other modules if you don't know that their startup testing routines are modeled.

    The fire loop tests in the PMDG 737 do their job. Just like the rest of the modeled fire detection and protection system. Including random, user selected, and service based failures. Those tests aren't modeled in the default FSX 737-800, but I am able to understand those are both modeled to a different standard.

    Has anyone figured out the mi-24 Hind tail rotor/yaw yet?

    Stop fighting the autopilot all the time, and learn to let the autopilot help you.

    The one thing I cannot figure out for sure is if the rudder trim (a dcs helper option)is fighting the actual yaw autopilot. I think it’s is. Long story does anyone know what’s going on ?

    I suggest you spend time flying around with the Controls Indicator displayed. Not fighting, just flying. You will see the autopilot and auto trimmers function, and learn to predict their actions. If you can learn to fly within the autopilots limitations, it will become a system that makes your life easier, not harder.

    Maybe that's my problem, I'm just not getting important audio messages?

    All the radio messages are displayed as text. By pressing escape, you can view all text messages displayed in the mission.

    Unfortunately I can't see the messages inside the mission editor, but I don't want to spoil the mission for you (or anybody else reading this). I remember flying around for a bit trying to figure out what to do. You'll get it when you get the motivation again.
