  1. Just looping in this thread since it never got moved.
  2. See also this thread. I feel sure there's a MP issue in regards to radios, because my buddy and I were able to consistently repeat the issue. Haven't had any more game time in order to get a track but if someone can replicate the issue that would be awesome.
  3. Minor issue. Seems the PAPI at Khasab has a duplicated left-most PAPI light. The two left lights are merged into each other, then there are 3 further lights.
  4. Yup here too. But setting the Y saturation will affect the top end too, won't it? I think this needs moving to the bug forum.
  5. Reported numerous times in the bug forum mate. Worth a visit there so you know what's already reported, acknowledged, dismissed etc.
  6. The TDC controls can be found in the Throttle Grip and HOTAS sections of the Control Options. The default keys are Up ; Down . Left , Right / You cannot currently set an axis for TDC slew but hopefully it'll be implemented soon. In the meantime you might be able to use your Saitek's profiling software to map the keystrokes to the axis. Pretty sure you can set 'bands' .. someone with a Saitek should be able to help you further with that. I did a similar thing with the Warthog's slew axis and it'll do for me until ED implement the feature themselves.
  7. It would seem so, yes. But as per my first post I'm unsure if it's F/A-18C related, or Persian Gulf. Haven't had an opportunity to test more so posted up just to see if anyone could repeat the test.
  8. Someone's merged two unrelated threads for some reason.... Just to repeat myself: Test 1: Player one hosts mission (Persian Gulf / F/A-18C / spawning cold at Al Minhad) Player two joins Player one can contact ATC Player two cannot Test 2: Player two hosts same mission Player one joins Player two can contact ATC Player one cannot Both players have the COM1/COM2/MIDS A and MIDS B mapped to stick.
  9. When you run the profile are there any error messages? Post a screenshot of the TARGET window whilst the profile is running. Someone may be able to advise.
  10. #MeToo I've been experiencing unresponsive trim too. Mapped to Warthog trim hat. Haven't had time to investigate.
  11. I can say for sure that it does work ... I'm using it! With the profile running you'll have two throttle controllers listed in DCS control options. One is the virtual controller which should have no assignments whatsoever. This controller is there just to intercept the keypresses and pass them to the warthog's axis. The other controller is your usual controller with all your mappings as normal. You might need to scroll right to see the controller if you have several controllers connected. Sorry can't be of more assistance at the moment. I'm on the road and not due back until tonight but hopefully someone else can chip in.
  12. Not at all. All the TARGET profile is doing is intercepting the keystrokes that you've configured (the 4 TDC directions). All other controls are untouched. If you look in your control options in game (once the profile is running) you'll see a Thrustmaster Virtual Game Controller. This is the device that's doing the TDC stuff. Your other controls for your throttle and stick are unaffected. However, like I said in my previous post just make sure there are no axes bound to the Thrustmaster Virtual Game Controller. If there are, just delete them so they don't conflict with your proper axes.
  13. One thing i forgot to mention is that when running the profile, it might duplicate some of the flight control axes, possibly causing control weirdness. This is because when using a TARGET profile it creates a virtual copy of the controller. If you experience this just delete the duplicate mappings in your control setup in game. Nice, thanks.:thumbup:
  14. Did you read my post? Just to make it clearer ... Only the host could use the radio to contact the tower. When I was hosting, it worked for me and not my buddy. We he was hosting, it worked for him and not for me. We both have the radio key mappings.
  15. Unsure if bug, and also unsure if F/A-18C or Persian Gulf related. Playing in multiplayer, my buddy (hosting) was able to talk to ATC on the airfields. I was completely unable to get any response from ATC. If we switched roles (me host, him connect, I could use radio, he couldn't). Both clients, and mission, have easy comms off. Neither of us got any response from the carrier (on 127.500 ??) but I'm guessing that's WIP.
  16. I just knocked up a quick guide on setting up the Warthog throttle cursor as the TDC Slew. Works for me so I thought I'd share. You need to use the TARGET software. For those that haven't used it, it's quite powerful, but setting this up is quite simple. Here's my guide in Google Docs. Apologies for the quality .. I literally just got in from work and quickly made the doc. But hopefully it'll be of some use until ED add in a proper slew axis. Hopefully I haven't forgotten any steps but please let me know if there are any problems with it. If someone with a great YouTube voice (RedKite? Crash Laobi? you there??) then a video would be much better!
  17. Unsure what the OP is trying to convey, but I haven't had any issues setting the Stennis to 55X. It retains that frequency and the TACAN in the F/A-18C successfully tracks it.
  18. Happens on every module I have installed. Resolution is simple.
  19. There's a report re. this in the bug forum.
  20. Aha! Thanks Wags.
  21. And bear in mind the MPCD knob is a rotary (mouse wheel .. like the Harrier) whilst with the DDIs you left/right click.
  22. In the meantime you could use the TARGET software to assign the slew buttons ( ; , . / ) to Axmap2 commands. Axis SCX for left/right, and axis SCY for up/down. I think that might work. I've done this myself but haven't managed to get into using the radar yet.
  23. On Wags' Hornet startup video ( , at around 14:20) he uses the CRS switch to set a runway heading. You can see bottom right of the MPCD the course, beneath the CSEL label. I've followed Wags' startup procedure in today's release. I have no course listed under CSEL ... there's nothing there at all. I can modify the heading using HDG, but not CRS. Has something changed, or have I missed something? Thanks in advance for advice.
  24. In MP, the cables and blast shield animations on the carrier deck aren't visible to other players. I'm guessing it's WIP but dropping a report just in case. Loving this module. The attention to detail is incredible. Well done to the team!
