Hovis

I can find the switch/lever thing to return the HUD to normal green but I cannot find anything to bring the VDI back from red. Not massive, just a pet peeve when starting early morning and stuck with red as the sun rises

+1 I've been looking and as far as training missions and manual goes I'm doing it right but no green light

No it's happening to me in multiplayer, when I was flying my RIO mentioned it on the carrier. When we swapped he was rock steady and my camera was jiggling slightly. Aircraft seemed to slide a bit more when in the RIO seat

Just check you're talking on the right radio, most aircraft go uhf then vhf... tomcat flips it and goes uhf then vhf

That... has never been the case... ever... just... no... As for the open beta, if you currently run on stable then you can use cmd to change your install from stable to openbeta and you'll only need to download a fraction of the total file size. You'll need command prompt in admin mode, the file path for your DCS bin folder and update it to openbeta. There are posts about how to do it

I.... had not... thank you!

The option to set AI to escort another aircraft is missing, was this removed in a patch or am I missing something? I can see options for orbit, follow, aerobatics and refuel but not escort.... Can I achieve the same results with a follow order and search then engage in zone?

+1 when hot starting at night the lights are on full but not working, neither is my radar altimeter

As title says I don't own the module but in the mission editor it marks the module as flyable The game allows me to load the map as pilot and even select the slot but crashes to desktop soon after. I'd have though it was an ED bug but no other module has this? Maybe it's your side?

Hi, Is it possible to get a quick breakdown of which missiles, both air launched and SAM have either a smoke trail or are smokeless. Either I'm going nuts or some that did have trails now don't and I never any documentation about it. Plus it's very useful to know when coming up against a certain SAM site or aircraft and which missiles are likely carried by said aircraft

Yep that's all sorted and working. It's connected to the ICS in the cockpit and changes whether you have hot/cold mic selected

+1 , also having issues. Updater is sticking on downloading and applying deltas, after several attempts sometimes it progresses 5-10% then jams again

Beautiful timing!

Disregard, through your posts I can see it's either PTT or hot mic. Thanks for the help! :)

Brilliant, can I ask how it will work? Continuous transmission / PTT / voice activation?

Hey there, I was wondering if there is a system going in place for communication between pilot and RIO (human not Jester). I'm aware DCS does not have VOIP or at least I'm not aware of it. My first thought is rely on SRS and a third channel (UHF, U/VHF and a third intercom channel). If this is the case is it possible to sync it to the aircraft so the crew can talk without setting a freq and just by activating the intercom in the aircraft itself? Or is that an issue for the guy that made SRS? If this is not the case is the current proposed method to work around it and make separate TS or discord channels for each F-14 crew and use SRS to communicate between aircraft. An issue I can see coming if this is the case is constant double talking when your pilot or RIO is using comms on SRS but also transmitting over TS or discord (I am definitely using voice activation to chat with my RIO) Cheers

My money is on a separate control profile in the drop down menu

I'm aware of editing skins, but it's a pain sharing them, naming folders correctly to have them show in multiplayer. It's just an extra layer of awesome that I think would be very welcome with the community

Title says it all really. The only thing I can think of to boost the immersion and quality of this aircraft would be to apply the player's username to the side of the aircraft, beneath the canopy. When you're in the front seat (or if I was the first person to jump in the pilot seat) then the word "Hovis" would be printed where the pilot's name usually is and maybe Jester could be beneath the RIO seat, or when my friend jumps in it switches to my friends name. The thought occurred when I saw the tail number of aircraft changing in the load out menu. If you can change a number, why not a name?

I spend quite a bit of time in the A-10C, and there are a few rules which I have accepted are laws of nature when it comes to flying the Hog: 1. In a merge, you're nose ain't gonna stay above the horizon 2. Even if you jettison everything that airspeed indicator isn't going to go above 280 in a merge (and you're trying to live) 3. An angry pilot with a pistol in a crop duster could give you a fair run for your money when it comes to maintaining turns Now I just set up a little mission in the PG map, some smoke, some tanks, two flights of A-10s attacking and lil ol me defending the tanks in a fishbed. Those A-10s were pulling 6Gs easily, following through loops and pursuing me at 400 knots, with 30mm cannon hits at extremely long range... without jettisoning anything. No matter which way I went about it they made me in my supersonic interceptor cry like a child

Yes I'm aware people are screaming about the editor but I haven't seen this particular piece highlighted. Copy and pasting static units (I'm populating the deck of the Stennis) causes the game to crash without. When I use ctrl+V theres a 50% chance it crashes, tested about 6 times

F-18 Aim-120 Pitbull Since the amraam has been implemented I cannot find any symbolology, or other indicator that displayes when the missiles starts active tracking. Surely the F/A-18C has this featured otherwise I may as well be throwing sparrows or am I just missing something? I am fairly confident it does go pitbull at some point because hostile AI rarely go defensive the moment I fire it.

Cheers for the tips, I'm new to the harrier. All i know is what was working is no longer

As soon as I updated I set up a training mission to practice. RWR shows nothing and sidearms wont lock or change tone regardles of range. I tried on Tor, Sa-13, Shilka and Hawk site, nothing at all. Tried on both nevada and caucasus maps

I'll give it a go, cheers boss!
