Ok, so just to clarify so I don't keep trying to find a fix, the pitch ladder is supposed to jump up and down as the aircraft is maneuvering rather than move smoothly and fluidly?

Sorry if this is covered somewhere but I couldn't find it. How do I assign the TDC slew axes to the mini mouse on my throttle (CH Pro Throttle)? I'm on the controls page, the throttle is recognized, other throttle functions can be assigned and work normally, I'm on the Throttle Designator Controller - Horizontal/Vertical Axis line, I double click on the box in the throttle column and physically move the mini mouse, but no assignment is made. I've also tried clicking the Assign Axis button at the bottom, and right clicking the box to bring up the Assign Combo options, neither of which does anything. The mini mouse works just fine for the A-10C slew control using the same throttle.

I was excited to fly the F-14 during the free trial and expected to love it and buy it, but the jerkiness(?) of the HUD is so distracting that I can't enjoy the airplane. Rather than presenting a smooth display like on all the other DCS aircraft, the F-14 HUD lines step up/down as the airplane is maneuvering and the horizon line is constantly correcting itself back to the horizon. If this is a bug, is there a fix? If not, I'm surprised the HUD was designed to be so "not smooth". I know it was 1970s technology, but so was the A-10 and F-16 and those HUDs are very fluid.

Not sure it's working for me. Still looks washed out and still can't see the HUD.

But they do override the rotary switch, because like I said, regardless of the switch position I can use the UFC to select any other page or function.

So I guess there's no need for an Other button on the UFC because the UFC overrides the AAP Page dial anyway. I.e., I can have the AAP Page dial set to any of the positions and still use the UFC to select any of the FSKs and enter data.

I don't see it on the UFC. I was referring to what the guide labels as Canopy Handle (page 77). It is actually a canopy breaker tool, but can also be used as a handle I assume. The Manual Canopy Opening Assist is a different handle.

Great guide. As I was reading through the cockpit sections I wondered how to select the Other page on the UFC if there are only buttons for POS, STEER, and WAYPT? One minor update would be that what is labeled as Canopy Handle is also the canopy breaker tool (one on each side).

Thanks, but my question was how to get the training missions to show up under Training.

I'm able to switch to the II in the mission editor but it won't let me save if I do. Some missions will let me fly it anyway without saving, some won't.

I tried contacting UltraMFCD and nobody responded. Doesn't look like it's an option anymore.

Thanks.

How do I get CHAS to reject the missile? When I CHAS it recages.

UltraMFCD looks interesting, but it only shows it working in the main cockpit view and not the Alt F1 view. It also seems quite old since the download is for DCS 2.0 from 2017, so I wouldn't want it crashing my system. Is anyone currently using UltraMFCD that can provide info?

I always have to make sure I'm holding the throttle all the way aft or the engines won't auto start. Even a millimeter forward and it thinks they're out of the idle position.

By "new" method do you mean the whole STBY/A-G/reselect as SOI thing, or is there another method? (Off topic, but what happened to the option to receive instant email notifications of new posts? I've subscribed and set notifications to On but don't get anything anymore.)

Yep, you're right. Tried it again and Gyro Stabilize keeps the seeker/gimbal at whichever elevation/azimuth is selected but keeps moving along the ground, while Ground Stabilize fixes on a particular spot on the ground.

What's the difference between Maverick Gyro Stabilize (DMS Forward Long) and Ground Stabilize (TMS Aft Short)? I see no functional difference between the two when flying as both seem to attempt to hold the seeker on a fixed spot.

If the TDC automatically and continuously attempts to ground stabilize, why do I need TMS Forward Short to ground stabilize (HUD is SOI)?

Yes, but that wasn't my question. Has anyone found a simple way to have clickable OSBs around the MFCDs in the Alt F1 view?

Is there any simple way to display clickable OSBs in the Alt F1 view so you don't have to switch back to the cockpit view every time you need to work with an MFCD? I asked about this with the previous version with no responses, so maybe someone knows how to do it with this version.

Betty.

Dumb question: I downloaded several of the A-10CII missions and training sets and put them in their respective folders, however only the missions show up under Missions in the the main menu. None of the training missions show up under Training. How do I get them to show up there?

When I do this it tells me I can't save the file, so I can't fly the missions with the A-10C II. What am I doing wrong?

As I mentioned, with TGP as SOI I can CHAS followed by CHAL to get TGP to Steerpoint without changing the SPI to the steerpoint. Anyone else?
