  2. Hi All, I have watched this thread carefully and have decided to weigh in with just my humble opinion. Talking of panties a few seem to have theirs in a knot over this LOL :megalol: FWIW for me this is very straight forward....The USMC (Dept of the Navy or whomever)decided it would use only the E and F Maverick variants based upon their operational needs. (increased warhead penetration etc etc). So they will order and stock the items accordingly and the aircraft SMC would presumably be programmed/calibrated to cater for those specific weapon types. Therefore for me it is fitting that we only have available the preferred USMC load out and this should apply to the USMC Bug too on release(will it???? I don't know). Don't get me wrong I am sure if a major war took place and stock piles or manufacturing were interrupted, I am sure the SMC is reprogrammable to accept different Maverick types but that's not the point just because it could, does not necessarily mean it should.....it's a last resort option surely. IRL I have spent time with the Harrier and I have loved this aircraft since I was a child. I too like many others fly the AV-8B as if it were an RAF variant having said that you don't see me shouting for outrigger pylons/brimstone missiles/Martin Baker ejection seat/Nose mounted recon sensor/Ferranti moving map and Aden cannons, even though they could be fitted. Why?? because that would make it an RAF Harrier II. I know this is a bit extreme but you can see where I am going with this. I would love an RAF Harrier but I have a USMC AV-8B and I am happy to have its load out configuration based upon the USMCs actual operational needs and requirements. Some may call it restrictive I feel its pertinent to RL simulation of operations, so I build my missions accordingly. Isn't that what DCS strives to provide? I am not a purist by any stretch of the imagination (how can I be.... pretending my AV-8B is an RAF Harrier lol :megalol:). Just my humble thoughts on the subject at hand....we all have our own opinions and that's what makes life interesting.

  5. Yes sorry forgot to mention Open Beta I believe this version may have the updated TACAN for ships element
  6. I can now confirm this does work with the PG map. Thank you my friend.....you know who you are :thumbup: F14s and F4s are just a small selection of what has been made available now.
  7. The TACAN is automatically set to 1 XRAY but can be amended in the advanced waypoints section of the ME :thumbup:
  8. Hi All, Based upon a number of forum posts, I have created this simple mod. Please find detailed below a link that updates the units (both Air and Ground)available for both Iran and Iraq in the mission editor. The mod is for single players essentially as it will not pass IC. Now skins you will have to provide yourself. I do not have this map so its not tried and tested but that should not be an issue, as the core files should be the same regardless of location. You will have to use JSGME/OvGME to enable it and it is compatible with both options. Hope this helps. :thumbup: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AFDdG1xp_TBjx4TSZWDnnbVL0GwS2KtM/view?usp=sharing Here are some more links to additional vehicle/building mods that could be useful for this theatre. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=202688 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=206833 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=204786

    I really do like this recent addition. I can't say what it's like in VR as I don't use it but I like what I can see. :thumbup:
  10. Hi All, in the latest Open Beta branch you can assign a TACAN frequency to the TARAWA and it works for me. Please refer to the ME image below for assistance. I hope this helps. :thumbup:
  11. Hi Goa, It is working for me and I have both bound to buttons on my X55 throttle :thumbup:
  12. Pleasure :thumbup:
  13. No problem here as can be seen in the images below: (Latest 2.5 Open Beta). Try running a repair as sometimes updates can fubar and have missing files. I don't know why this happens and I have asked the question but as far as I know, there hasn't been a response. :thumbup:
  14. These links may help...Cheers :thumbup: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3485730&postcount=12 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3494291&postcount=5
  15. I hope this might help.....Cheers :thumbup:
  16. Hi it's me again, I find myself having to bump this thread yet again unfortunately, as the issue persists following today's update. I know there have been priorities in other areas and I accept that, but this thread has not even been recognised as a "reported bug"..... so my questions are...... has it been reported and is it on a fix list please? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. :thumbup:
  17. I concur with crazyeddie.....In that specific Batumi location at least. The trees are removed along with the building, even though only objects are selected in the actions.
  18. Hi BlueAngel, To answer your questions in order: Wet compass is available when your cockpit is closed (refer to image). You can map joystick controls to NWS but not the anti skid switch yet (refer to image below). Updates to the manual are WIP at the moment as far as I know and will be issued in due course as more functionality is added to the airframe. Refer to this thread which highlights elements missing. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=196533 The list will reduce as the aircraft transitions through Early Access. I hope this helps. Cheers.:thumbup:
  19. Hi clanitho, I understand perfectly what information you are specifically after and to my knowledge slaving the TPOD is not functional yet (I could be wrong). I was not answering your question directly, I was adding to this thread title which is specific to the DMT. In other posts people have mentioned that CHRISXTR3M3's excellent video could be slightly confusing because of his wingmans chatter. Having made my video at the weekend without a wingman, covering several topics including this one; to be helpful I thought I would add a link here. My video covers not only this topic but also weapons management and cockpit closure. All elements people have posted questions or concerns about. Hence why I posted my video in the video thread, as it relates to a variety of topics. Cheers.
  20. Hi All, I created a little video showing how this works in the following thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3485730&postcount=12 Cheers
  21. DCS Harrier AV-8B - DMT SLAVE & CANOPY OPERATION
  22. It has been discussed historically here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3369143#post3369143 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3369143&postcount=91 These cues are not just a night time element and on the GR7 were available all the time:
  23. Well it looks like we are getting an update to the mini gun ammunition in the next patch. Thanks Pat much appreciated. :thumbup: ********** 12/05/2018 ********** - Began reworking SA342L Gun and Minigun sounds, original DCS Gun sounds may be heard instead until the feature is completely applied. - Fixed auto-start sequence issue with doors - Updated RWR contacts list - Fixed second joystick option - Corrected Minigun ammunition - Removed all files that could change DCS default sounds
  24. Thanks Pat works a treat :thumbup:
