  1. No mods whatsoever in any of my installs.
  2. I have 2 installs of DCS one on an SSD and another on conventional HD. On the SSD install the F5E remastered is all good with textures showing in the mirrors. On the HD version the mirror textures are missing I see this below. All other aircraft mirrors are normal. Any clues how to fix this ? I have done a Slow repair and that did nothing.
  3. Bump. The F5E FM still has this over the top wing drop after 1 Sidewinder fired.
  4. Looks like the latest update has fixed the AI precession issue.
  5. Also the STBY AH is NOT caged on a cold and dark start.
  6. Change Log says: DCS: MB-339A/PAN by IndiaFoxtEcho Visual Simulations Fixed: Stand-by ADI not caged when mission starts cold & dark Fixed: hundreds rotary of GunSight mills needs 9 clicks to go from 0 to 1 Improved: Flight Director bars visibility However seems the Gunsight reticle setting changes didn't make it in the last update. Still need 9 clicks on the Left most tumbler to set it to 1. Also the error associated with this in the reticle position at 99 mills versus 100mill setting is still there with a 13 mill error. (see my 14 November post above).
  7. And then as did all the European operators changed to martin Baker GQ-7A
  8. Lockheed's
  9. Some depression settings calculated from the MB339 Weapon delivery manual. No allowance made for PEC or Altimeter lag as I don't know how these are modeled in DCS. MK82LD, Fuze 4secs, 30Deg Dive Angle, 400Ktas, Rel at 3000'AGL, Wt 4300Kg Bomb range 3874', TOF 6.79secs, Aim Off Angle 137mill, ZSL AOA 6.5Mil Tot Depression on sight 144mills ------------------------------------------ MK82LD, Fuze 4secs, 45Deg Dive Angle, 400Ktas, Rel at 5000'AGL, Wt 4300Kg Bomb range 3823', TOF 8.31secs, Aim Off Angle 134mill, ZSL AOA 6Mil Tot Depression on sight 140mills ------------------------------------------ MK82HD Snakeye, Fuze 4secs, Level Release, 400Ktas, Rel at 250'AGL, Wt 4300Kg Bomb range 2050', TOF 4.51secs, Aim Off Angle 125mill, ZSL AOA 9Mil Tot Depression on sight 134mills ------------------------------------------ MK82HD Snakeye, Fuze 4secs, 10Deg Dive Angle, 400Ktas, Rel at 450'AGL, Wt 4300Kg Bomb range 2005', TOF 4.8secs, Aim Off Angle 119mill, ZSL AOA 8Mil Tot Depression on sight 127mills ------------------------------------------ Seems we are limited to MK904/905 fuses with minimum 4Sec setting. A dedicated HD fuse with settings down to 2.5secs or so is needed for in your face Snakeye delivery's.
  10. some more info. The error between 100miils and 99mills is in the order of 13mills and in the wrong sense as well
  11. Should be 1 click per digit for each tumbler. The diff between 99mils and 100mills as illustrated is significant, its about 9 mills when there should only be a 1 mill difference.
  12. I had a similar issue. Throttle set to Idle (engine running) then using either throttle Off Keybinding or Toggle ON/OFF keybinding. Throttle initially goes to Shutoff then springs back to the idle position. If I physically hold my Joystick throttle at the closed position (all the way back) then use the key binding the MB339 throttle remains at STOP but only as long as I hold the joystick throttle closed. As soon as I release pressure on my joystick throttle the MB339 throttle jumps back to idle. Also When spawning in Cold and Dark cockpit MB339 throttle is already at IDLE not Stop The fix for me was to recalibrate my Throttle (CH). I set the joystick throttle just a tiny bit forward of the rear most (Stop) position. Then recalibrate. Back into game and all was well again
  13. Someone turn the cockpit lights on !
  14. Hopefully this will be addressed. At present if you use aileron trim its almost impossible to centralise it again. Be nice to know exactly how the sensitivity scales are meant to work.
  15. And that is a daft arrangement. Both Runway lighting and ILS activation should be pilot selectable. You should have the ability to call for the runway you want and get the runway lights and navaids to support it. As for ILS they should all be on all the time.
  16. Any update on here. Even with the Trim sensitivity sliders set its still an issue. Do the special options trim slider sensitivity sliders actually do anything yet or are they just placeholders ?
  17. So module manger is effectively now redundant ?
  18. Great idea it worked well for me. Time to revisit this ED .... please.
  19. Altimeters are set to Standard pressure STD (29.92/1013) above the the Transition Level. When set to STD altitudes are expressed as Flight Levels. so 35,000' would be referred to as FL350. When you descend through the Transition altitude local QNH (or QFE in some locations/countries) is set. Altitudes are then referred to as thousands of feet. If QNH (the most common world wide) is set then altitude is referenced to Sea Level. if QFE is set the altitude is referenced to Station elevation (i.e. Above Ground level). The Transition altitude is not constant. It varies for a number of reasons Terrain elevation being one of them. In addition the exact point at which you physically set STD or QNH depends on whether you are climbing and or descending and local rules (national/civil/military). In Australia for example the transition altitude is 10,000'. So whilst climbing you set STD passing 10,000' whilst on descent you set it at FL110 (11,000').
  20. What is the relationship between the new Launcher and Module manager. For example lets say I need to remove some terrain or other modules to free up space for an update. The aim being to reinstate these modules post update. Can this been done directly through the new Launcher by selecting then clicking delete ? Does this affect the number of activation's I have for that module ? Alternatively does the above need to be done through the Module manager ? As I recall module manger had/has issues with MT.
  21. There was a time not so long ago where the updater could automatically utilise free drive space on other drives to do the update. I presume it downloaded the monster update file to the free space then updated the install version from there. I cant remember if you had to nominate the drive or if the updater just found the space. It would be nice for his functionality to come back.
  22. Fixing the gunsight reticle size and depression settings .. is that still happening ?
  23. No just images
  24. Yes The pain of carrying a Navigator !
  25. The 44mills correction was a Datum line issue that was corrected by Aerges Eons ago, so is no longer applicable.
