HawkDCS

Are they waypoints or from Datalink?

The plane is sticky. Always do brake check when first taxing to make sure they are all the way off. This is heavy jet its gonna take some thrust to get it moving. The carrier sliding stuff is way more frustrating to me. Love lining up to shuttle to have wind blow me back off lol.

In the RIO Pit on left side of TID Screen there is a square button that says TRACK HOLD. It cant be read unless the backlighting is on in the cockpit. If you hit that it wont hold lost contacts on the TID. From the manual. TRACK HOLD - Button extending the amount of time before a track is dropped after last radar observation to two minutes. Normal time is 14 seconds.

Thanks for reply Victory! :)

Did the 14 actually buffet as much as it does in sim in real world? Is it over done to help with AOA judgment? Or was it that rough of a ride?

DCS Jammers are just noise jammers. They work by making it harder to get a STT/TWS lock on you at longer ranges. The enemy plane or SAM site will have to burn through your jammer to get a lock. Since airplanes are much smaller and can't put out the same microwave energy that a large sam site or main aircraft radar can eventually as you get closer it will be able to see you regardless. It will essentially over power your jammer and get a return. Say without your jammer on they may be able to lock you 40% further away. In DCS however you are still out of missile range usually when you get burned through its not like you can fly close with your jammer on and deny the enemy the lock in AIm 120 range. Only time really not to use jammer is if you are radar off and being stealthy. As soon as you turn it on people will be able to see that a jammer is active even if they cant lock you they will be able to see your rough direction just not range. I am not sure if the Jammer in the 14 is even working yet?

Noticed on Defend the Fleet the Tacan isn't working on carrier.

TCS is controlled by the RIO. Pilot has no control other then to see it on the VID.

Good shoot!

This what a piece of garbage.

If it talks about DFCS its to new. AFCS is on the A+ like we have.

Thanks for info!

Yes left side Fov switch. Is there a setting to make it track contrast?

Just wanted to chime in and say amazing work as well! This is easily the most comprehensive at launch module ever released and easily my favorite. The attention to detail and the love poured into this project is clear every time you fly it. Can’t wait to see the loose ends tighted up and what it becomes over time. Thanks for all the hard work HB! Bought more shirts on your store and will be a continued supporter of your fantastic work!

Whats the story with the Thief of Baghdad paint work?

They showed up for me. Surprised me with the long range missile they carry to.

Ordered thanks!

Did you fly with them all off or just Roll channel off for maneuvering?

Wondering what best way to shoot another missile at same target with Aim 54 that has already been engaged? I am reselecting them on TID and hitting Next Launch button is this correct? Some of the bombers in DCS need more than one hit to take down. Seems WCS after they are hit/or one weapon is fired doesn't re prioritize for another shot? If the 54 misses it just ignores them and seems bit cumbersome to get them re targeted and another missile in the air. Just wanted to know if there was a quicker way? Thanks for help!

Aim 54 goes pitbull when WCS commands it too. Usually when it's about 7Mi from target in TWS Auto. If you break lock before it will go dumb as it hasn't received command to go active. You can also use ACM cover or PD ACT switch in rear cockpit to fire it active off the rail but this is more for ACM then long range shots.

The FF Tapes in 14 don't show A/B FF only dry thrust. So the current tapes dont show correct info for 110s?

I have a much easier time with the 14 carrier landing due to it not being as easy to get behind the power curve with it. Heck you got the speed brakes out cause it wants to fly so bad. Tons of power if you get a little low and DLC is like cheating if you are high. Rudder and stick planes you can put where you want them without the FBW always dampening what your asking for at least in sims.

2. Maybe try cycling master arm again? There are some invalid loadouts. 3. You can use jett on left side by Landing Gear handle. 4. Jester when you ask to drop over distance is doing a time calculation as theres no setting for distance in the F14. I think if you are to slow or to fast and he cant set the time interval properly he can't do it. 5. You use the Radar ACM modes switch VSL etc.

If I am flying at night you cant see nav/beacon lights from inside pit on my DCS. You also cant see the burners if you look straight back even with NVGs. Is this just on my end?

It doesn't work with E2 yet?
