  1. Both radios have the ability to simultaneously monitor selected frequency/channel and guard frequency (243MHz). On the front seat radio (AN/ARC-159) this is activated by setting the Function selector to BOTH (image in DCS: F-14B manual, p. 21, indicator 8 ). On the back seat radio (AN/ARC-182) guard monitoring is activated by setting MODE knob (manual p. 108, konb 7) to T/R & G. This feature does not work on both radios.
  2. UHF radio is in the pilot's seat, its keybind is "Mic Button UHF1 (ARC-159)". VHF/UHF radio is in the RIO's seat, use "Mic Button UHF2 (ARC-182)".
  3. Yep... "Open Beta Only!" should be written in big fat letters on the top of the page...
  4. Let me be the first one to embarrass myself. :D Well, here's my first attempt, literally after flying for just a couple of minutes, having no clue what I was doing. Jester wasn't impressed... :D
  5. 6GB for Tomcat, + whatever for regular update.
  6. Definitely, if you have enough space. Before 2.5 merge I had all three available versions: alpha, beta and stable. DCS grew much larger since then, so now I'm down to only one version, beta.
  7. Drama?! In DCS community?!? Nooooooo... :D Great podcast, btw. :thumbup:
  8. Thank you for your hard work, and wish you a smooth release! :pilotfly:
  9. Great, thank you! As for the details, I suppose you could tell us, but then you'd have to kill us. :D
  10. Which DCS version do you have? In latest beta 2.5.4.28090 it doesn't work as you describe. Hidden SAM units do show on SA page.
  11. I guess the option to start fully alligned wouldn't hurt, as long as it can be enforced in the mission editor.
  12. You can see it in the Profile section of http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com
  13. Awesome! I was always hoping someone will make the Crusader. :thumbup:
  14. Player's aircraft skill needs to be set to "Client", only number 1 can be set to "Player".
  15. Quick test, E-3 detects head-on Su-27 at 390km, E-2 at 320km, same conditions. All aircraft were flying at 8000m, skill set to Excellent, don't know if it makes any difference.
  16. There is an Auto feature, the button is in the bottom right corner of SA and HSI. If you keep HSI or SA always on the same screen, you can assign appropriate buttons to your HOTAS.
  17. I was hoping you'll make a campaign for the Hornet... :thumbup:
  18. An-2 was actually used in combat during the war in Croatia in early 1990s, to drop improvised bombs. video, in Croatian:
  19. Open Options/Controls Select F/A-18C Sim from the list on the top left corner Scroll to or search for Sensor Control Switch - Depress Choose controler which you want to bind it to (or keyboard) and doubleclick on the field where its column intersects with the Sensor Control Switch - Depress row when the windows opens, press the key or button you have chosen. Press ok to confirm and exit
  20. There isn't a default binding at the moment, you'll have to set it yourself.
  21. If I had to chose, I'd pick a Russian bird, mainly because there are so few full fidelity ones, especially compared to the western a/c. +1
  22. Yep, that would make mission kill a posibility. Imagine crew abandoning a damaged vehicle. :D Also I'm not sure how armor penetration currently works, it would be nice to have it properly modeled, with different kinds of warheads achieving different level of penetration depending of armor but also on hit angle (with possibility of ricocheting).
