Which amp?

When i press the DIR btn i have to select from one of the waypoints in the route. How does one select a target point as a direct waypoint?

Unfortunately i cannot add a target point to a route. So how can i quickly enter its location into a waypoint? having a list of targets that show up on the TSD coords list is helpful. But how can i leverage this info for navigation?

I see a red X, a white diamond, and a green cross. From their behavior, I guess that the white diamond is where the cyclic is positioned. The red X seems to be where the cyclic is commanded to be by the FMC when you release the force trim button. and I dont know what the green cross is. I cannot seem to find this explanation in the manual.

in the AH64D special options: What are we ramping up?

on p416 the manual states: "TADS Store Target. If George (as the CPG) is tracking a target with the TADS, this command will direct George to store a Target point (T##) using the STORE/UPDT switch on the TEDAC Left Handgrip. If George is not already lasing, he will momentarily fire the LRFD to get accurate range data before storing the location as a Target point. This command is only available when the Player is occupying the Pilot seat." However, I cannot find 'TADS Store Target' as a command in the George AI Helper menu. Also I cannot find it in the George infographic in the manual: So how do I command George to store the target? EDIT: I found the command as a single instruction in the AH-64D pilot command list. So that means I can command George to do something even when the George AI menu is not active?

Imagine a ‘start track copy’ button above the ‘take control’ button in the menu you get when you press escape while playing a track. It puts you back in the track playback. Then when you press escape again the button reads ‘save track copy’. Selecting this saves a short track with the desired endpoints and puts you back in track playback

even something simple so I could clip out a brief section would really help when trying to communicate a specific aircraft behavior. Sometimes, I have a 3 hour track file but just want a 10 minute segment from something that happened in the middle.

Is anyone using ‘automatically enable fingerlifts’ in the special options? It tends to make overtorquing more likely .

from p124 of the SU27 manual Step 5 Once the target has been detected, you next need to lock it up. To do so, place the TDC over the contact and press the [Enter] key. If the target distance and infrared signature permit, the IRST will initiate an STT lock. The target will then be framed by a circle on the HUD. so it seems that STT lock is not unique to radar. But then again the manual could be wrong. In step 1 of target acquisition the manual says Step 1 To search for targets at long range, select the long range [2] mode, activate the IRST with the [O] key and set the appropriate range scale on the HUD and HDD in km [+] and [-]. Select the best missile for the range and target with the [D] key and confirm the selection on the HUD. But no matter what I do, I cannot change the range in the HUD.

indeed, I found this mentioned on p22 of the manual. So just to clarify my 'understanding' of stealth attacks, the target does not detect the laser so when I 'lock' the target in STT mode with IRST active, there should be no warning in the target aircraft. But when I launch an R27 t/ET they should get a launch warning so it is not really totally stealth. or is it like a tunguska which can launch withoout a warning?

@GGTharosthanks. I should have realized even if it is not steerable, the ccd has pixels, the focal length of the lens is known, so the azimuth/elevation should be calculatable even without the pilot 'steering' the eyeball

Thank you for clarifying-yes I forgot about the clutter downside. But come to think of it, How does this data (range,azimuth,elevation) enter into the IRST? It's just a glass eyeball on the nose looking for a heat signature. How do you get range out of THAT? I imagine it's like a digital camera sensor and the pixel that lights up can give azimuth elevation- so why even bother with the controls that set azimuth/elevation (anyway, I thought those controls just moved the radar dish)

At the risk of getting criticized for necroing this thread again, I would like clarification on the targetting done for the R27t/ET . From reading this thread, it seems that a lock is needed before missile launch (because there is no LOAL). It also seems that a lock can be passed to the missile from either the Radar or the IRST. The manual describes the process for getting a lock with IRST: (p123) and it is very similar to getting a lock with radar: 1) set distance,2)set azimuth3)set elevation But the IRST is that eyeball thing on the nose. It does not have a steerable dish like radar so what is the manual talking about?

thank you. I guess setting a longer range should slow down the detection process, does it? Otherwise there seems to be no downside to always setting max range

The manual states that in each case the process begins by setting BVR mode and ' set the appropriate range scale on the HUD and HDD in km with the [+] and [-] keys.' Where does the range come from if you dont even know where the target is? I havent even found the target on Radar so I cannot range it.

Is there any way to get readouts for the autopilot buttons of the SU-27? I tried dcs-clickable data extract as well as dcs-unclickable data extract without luck. In the streamdeck interface though, there are assignable functions for the FC3 aircraft. How are those found?

@Ironhand thank you

Thank you. I noticed that the Cobra button is a toggle. Is the stick deflection override also a toggle? Is there any cockpit indication when it is set?

There two controls about which I do not clearly understand the difference The stick limiter deflection override The ASC direct control I can appreciate what the 'cobra' button does but how is the first one implemented? What am I supoosed to notice?

Is there a way to use a button on a controller instead of a key combination? I guess that requires an additional piece of software since dcs does not have an independent key- to-button mapping feature

In this youtube clip, GS has nagging Natasha speak english How is this achieved? The user files has an english cockpit by Devrim but I cannot seem to find any way to get English voices
