After upgrading to 1.5.7 my radar screen resolution has worsened. I enclose a pic of my settings and a pic about the problem. Any solution?

In the mission builder is it possible to choose the runway for taking off? Only the "auto" option is offered in the PRK box.

No way to take off from Kuznetsov with the new PFM. WEP working, FOD protection off, still everytime it's a nice dive in the sea, and I'm even unloaded. Anybody can post the right procedure to check if I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks so much!

Where in my HD can I find the campaigns included in FC3 module? When I upgraded to 1.5.7 they all disappeared and I found them again when I downgraded back to 1.5.6 for framerate problems. Now I'd like to save them before next upgrade.

I did it but nothing changed about the framerate, and I lost my logbooks. Can you tell me where can I recover them in the saved copies?

Can you say how to do that?

Same for me

And what is this radar's range? It acts quite strange, it seems to activate when you are very close (3-5 km) but then it can track you maybe up to 10 km

Do SA-11 launchers have an own short range radar? I destroyed the SR vehicle, but when I got close to the battery they launched and shot me down :(

Is there any way in the mission editor to keep close the distance between aircrafts in a formation with AIs? When I set a group of 4 aircrafts with me as a leader, the 3 AIs always stay quite far behind me and they don't seem to care about my orders to rejoin. As a result I meet the enemy alone and I am massacred :(

I was searching the forum for some tip to evade it...I'm always shot down by the AIM-54 :)

Why USAF removed this weapon? If reality is alike DCS, it is much more lethal than AIM-120.

:megalol:

In a AWACS hunt mission I have an Il-76 escorted by two Flankers. At first on my radar I only see one contact, the Il-76 I guess because it's bigger than the fighters: If I lock it, the fighters get me quite easy as they get closer undisturbed. If I wait for locking the target, only when they are very close I can see some very small separation between them as the AWACS stays almost all the time close to the fighters closing on me. The result is that almost every time I get the AWACS, but I'm shot down by the fighters. I would first launch on the Flankers and once they are down go to the Il-76, is there any "secret" to distinguish from a good distance targets very close to each other?

It seems that I have a problem, I cannot move the radar's azimuth to left and right either in LRS or TWS mode. I can move the scan area up and down but not horizontally. I also set a command for that on my joystick but no way (it works fine in russian aircrafts). Is it normal?

A great guide, thanks

Well, it also happens with a Il-76 Awacs....not really a stealth plane :)

Approaching dangerous zones I normally use the 160 nm range scale in the VSD. But when I approach a contact in front of me, it always appears about in the center of the VSD. It looks like the radar's maximum range were about 80 nm, but in this case why is there the 160 nm option?

Thanks :thumbup:

I got a new Thrustmaster T16000M joystick and throttle, but I want to keep the repaired Saitek as reserve. Once I'll set the command configuration, will the game keep memory of the Saitek options? Or shall I have to change manually the configuration every time I'll change from Saitek to Thrustmaster and vice versa?

They look like that....at take off they retract automatically, and this could be fine, but in landing they refuse to deploy at command. Tonight at 10000 m. my slats were down at supersonic speed, and after a dogfight I found my flaps down. A bit annoying, any way to prevent that? I checked the settings but there's no option for that.

Understood, thanks :thumbup:

I tried to use the "F#" keys listed in the controls section but I couldn't find any to have an external view for ground objects as vehicles, buildings or ships; I only can cycle all friendly and hostile aircrafts. Is it possible to do that?

Yes, What I mean is: once I have installed 2.0 shall I still be able to play with friends (or on servers) running 1.5? Will I be able to choose to start 1.5 or 2.0, or will I be only on 2.0?
