[Straight and Level Flight Option Whilst In The Nav's Position (for single player mode).]

Definitely +1 for the barest of AI pilot while in the Navigator's chair. Just keep current head & speed.

[Simple AI pilot to hold level flight when using Nav station]

Definitely +1.  Having AI "Archie" though isn't the same as having an extremely simple pilot AI that maintains heading/speed while you play with the radios.

[Navy radio channel list]

Like that nervous twitch folks get, your note jarred the memory of aviators screaming, "static on Button 12!!"  It's been too many years ago to remember what Button 12 was, but it was mighty important whatever it was...

[Hornet Dogfight Tactics]

You have superior nose authority, use it. Spend the energy, get the nose around first and kill him. No elegant, drawn out circle dance. End it, now.

[Choose between Bomb Or Missile ?]

Does the target shoot back?

[Optimal Combat Altitudes]

Absolutely no way to tactically answer that question. You’re a hunter, you go where the prey is. In an aircraft interview, a 14 pilot said standard patrol alt was 23kft. Why? Didn’t say but I suppose it’s a combination of fuel economy and radar coverage. Other than that, stay slightly below the bandit wherever he is when prosecuting.

[Ip waypoint use?]

IP has been around since at least ww2, it’s the last waypoint prior to the target and sets you on the desired strike vector. That said, use it however desired, the 14 doesn’t hold a lot of them. I typically use defended point as bulls

[Laser fire toggle]

Laser fire toggle

 

You could join the “modern” air fleet, fly the 14, where the LANTIRN actually turns your laser on and off for you automatically! It’s PFM!

[Long range anti ship options?]

Right. Make a two-ship with an 18 carrying 2 harpoons and 2 harms and you carry talds. 18 goes trail by 5 or so miles. Send the talds in first, then the high fast flying harms and then the low slow harpoons right behind them.

[Jester and countermeasures.]

Why not Jester? Because Jester will throw out chaff to missiles that aren’t targeting you and/or when you’re not notching making chaff ineffective. I would love for Jester to be able to handle but for now, recommend going pilot control, spitting out repeated singles (either chaff or flares), and just changing to either using the wheel as the situation dictates

[AOA Speed feels so slow]

I use auto throttle plus dlc as standard, no issues, works well. AoA on-speed is dependent upon your weight

[F14B for air to ground: was it for real or as a "last option" ?]

Rather than relying on others, read for yourself the a2g role the 14 played in history. Recommend the Osprey book 14 Tomcat Units of Operation Enduring Freedom. There would be no tactical early days of the Afghan conflict without the 14’s endurance, bombing, lasing and FAC-A capability. Or the book Black Aces High detailing the 14’s a2g role in Kosovo.

[How finished is Harrier? The reason was that there were many features that were not a]

My recommendation, ignore the hand-wringers. The plane is a blast to fly and fight and there’s more than enough capability to enjoy in PvP/pve servers and SP missions.

[How to make Jester stop losing lock?]

Stay below the target and tell jester to go PSTT

[How to jam?]

There may be a lot of reasons why I smoke someone in the 14. Not being jammed isn’t one of them...

[Stealth choppers invisible on radar]

Get co-altitude and go PAL or tell Jester to use pulse search

[air refueling]

Take station left of tanker, really trim her good with wings in bomb mode as said earlier, then go to station

[RWR and Sidearm help]

Grab Chuck’s guide for the aircraft and use it to learn the harrier. Test the RWR flying a mission from someone else that has emitters in it to ensure you’re not the problem (since you said you are new to dcs).

[How Complete is this module]

Bought both? Good for you! I’m sure you’ll enjoy them and have a blast too. At the end of the day, we’re pretend pilots flying fake planes to have fun. If any module does that for you, than it’s money well spent.

[How Complete is this module]

Nonsense. The module is a blast and you can accomplish whatever CAS mission desired.

[Tarawa]

Change type of start. Don’t remember which one is it that causes that or the one that avoids, but play with it. That’ll fix it.

[Afterburner sound too loud in the cockpit]

Because you’ve been in the real world cockpit with the burners lit? It’s a good audio clue, let’s leave it alone.

[How to?]

Also digest the Chuck’s guide

[How to?]

You can’t. To learn the cat, YouTube is your friend, use it liberally. Jabbers, RedKite, Grim Reapers. Also, read the manual.

[Hurts my Soul]

Have to somewhat concur. Been learning the harrier for some time now and it’s an absolute blast. Most fun flying in dcs outside of 14 multicrew. Able to do whatever cas mission desired.
