I haven't flown in a couple of months but if I recall correctly you need to double-press Sensor Select Down to toggle HTS mode. Just to be clear, that's clicking the button down, not directionally (aft).

Indeed, it toggles FOV when TPOD is in HTS mode. Very useful feature.

Successive updates have degraded this module from what was a fun and rewarding multiplayer experience to one that's mostly disappointing. Hopefully the developers will resolve it, because it truly was one of the standout features in DCS multiplayer. Immense rewarding fun when it works. Frustrating and disappointing when it doesn't.

Is the 104th down? I'm not seeing it on the server list, and when I try to connect via IP I get 'server offline'. edit: I'm guessing it's up because there's plenty of people on TS and SRS. Hung around for around 30 mins in the "I need an admin" channel but I guess you're all too busy having fun!! So presumably there's a server list problem.

Personally I don't give a damn whether the battery is simulated or not. However it would be nice to know the extent of what the developer has simulated, purely as a matter of interest and comparison against other modules. What is unfortunate .. and this happens time and time again on these forums .. is the self-appointed forum police jumping in and claiming a thread has no purpose. Let the moderators decide that, and if you don't like a thread, ignore it and ...

I'm guessing it is modelled because the module is out of early access (i.e. release quality) and according to the notes on the ED store has "authentic systems modeling". I guess someone with time on their hands just needs to fire up whatever electrical systems are usable without the engines running and wait for them to die.

See Maverick's post here. They're planning to rotate between Caucasus and PG once a Longbow-esque mission is done.

Hopefully they'll deliver on their promise, for integrity reasons for than anything else. Personally I prefer the cockpits in their native languages and don't mind learning bits and pieces of an unfamiliar language. As long as the tooltips are in English that's fine with me, although one major gripe I have is that some servers disable tooltips for some inexplicable reason (making starting up the Mig-21 or Mi-8 a challenge).

Is this coming in the next update?

+2 Frustrating, considering since the jet's primary function is to bomb stuff. One would have thought this would be high up on some list, somewhere, to get right. Still my favourite module though. Looking forward to seeing it develop further.

Some time ago I saw this thread and I exported my left and right MPCDs to my other monitor. I don't want to export the screens any more, but for some reason I can't disable the export. The following lines are commented out in the MPCDL/MPCDR.LUA respectively: --try_find_assigned_viewport("RIGHT_MFCD") --try_find_assigned_viewport("LEFT_MFCD") Yet each time I start up the AV8B, as soon as turn on an MPCD it exports a copy on top of my main window. I then have to toggle the [Left MPCD view export on/off] and [Right MPCD view export on/off] commands to turn off the export. How do I permanently prevent the MPCDs from exporting? (I'm probably missing something completely obvious but thanks in advance for any advice).

Yeah I get that from time to time. For example when I'm flying from Al Minhad on PG I like to put some coords for the airfield. For northings I use 25 01 37 but it always rounds down to 25 01 36.

Server is currently running Op Armageddon (Caucasus). Briefing says for Blue UH-1 to take off from FARP and go to the blue smoke for FOB crates. I can't find any blue smoke! Anyone got any idea where the crates are? :huh:

That's why I mentioned the keyboard I have. When I slide the slider to the right Windows no longer intercepts the WIN key for windows commands and they work fine in games. All of them, including LWIN-X, LWIN-L etc etc. It's a 'game mode' key. But obviously this isn't the cause of your problem, though you wouldn't have the issue if you had a gaming keyboard with this functionality. So good you've highlighted it for the benefit of others :thumbup:

Just a thought, but do you have a keyboard which allows you to turn the WIN key on and off? I have a Logitech G19s and when the WIN key slider (just above F2) is to the left then the WIN key operates normally (in Windows) and some - not all - games lose focus when I press it. When it's to the right the WIN key is usable in games. May be unrelated to your issue but thought I'd mention it.

It eventually started working ... not sure why, I didn't change anything! Was slewing ok (for me) from that point. Nice to see HTS mode is back.

After today's update I seem to be unable to slew the TDC (either in TDC or HTC mode). Anyone else?

Doesn't seem so. My other modules are fine, but most (not all .. strangely) of my F/A-18 binds were zapped. Could have done with a warning in the changelog so we could back up prior to update, but hey, they don't even provide an accurate changelog anyway.

Great news - thanks for checking. :thumbup:

Good question. I PM'd the guy that posted the ED update and he replied that when (if) ED are told of any changes, he'll add them to the changelog. This would seem to indicate that communication between 3rd party devs and ED is .... limited.

Yup, it's perfect. Thanks very much :thumbup:

Hi - thanks I'll try that when I get home. Do you know if this will cause a MP integrity check fail?

Hi Is there any way to reduce the volume of the sidewinder growl tone? I can't see anything in the cockpit that allows this. I'm wondering if there's a lua file somewhere where this can be changed. I don't want to change any in-game volumes (helmet, world etc) because I've got them pretty much just as I like them. I just find the sidey growl too loud, especially when communicating on TS or SRS.

You specifically asked how to silence the AI. I told you specifically how to silence the AI. I wasn't suggesting anything else ... just trying to answer the question you asked.
