Hm, maybe an issue with the canopy not opening correctly or the throttles not set to IDLE. These are the only two things that are checked by the lesson logics at that stage.

Hello MustangSally, which lesson are you refering to? Take-off is lesson 03, visual approach is lesson 04?

This function via the F-10 menu > "Disable pictures" is working for Lessons 01 - 04 currently. I'll forward to the team.

Really looking forward for the repairs and patches! It's really the time for more "viggening" again ...

Not so far what you described. I sometimes noted a timedelay until the entered waypoints from the F-10 map appear on the kneeboard. After cycling all of the cartridges once, in the second run mine appeared then.

I can confirm that locking from front-aspect with RB74 is not working right now. Rear-aspect is fine. 2024-06-08_AJS-37_RB74_no_front_aspect_vs_MiG21.trk

Hey Tarres & Mr. Farknocker! The lesson you want to play should show this dev info in the mission briefing "SITUATION" (at the very bottom): MIZ: 2024-05-23 15:00:00 (CEST) CN: 2024-06-05 11:52:00 (CEST) This is the correct dev info for the latest DCS Update version 2.9.5.55918. Your track shows another timestamp, so I think - if you have updated to the latest version - the update didn't catch these files. Please make sure to either repair DCS or update to the newest version!

Sounds good Antonio, have fun!!

You guessed right; it is to make sure all changes that might be codewise implemented until then have a real chance to be in the manual.

Hey Joker62! After reading your latest post, I am pretty sure your computer has a hardware issue. Maybe overheat or undervoltage caused by high system load.

Info: Next update of Viggen manual is planned for the DCS WORLD patch coming mid of June or later (not the patch coming on June 5th).

Hey Antonio, thanks for the information. Sometimes the reason for problems cannot be seen at first glance, but I really hope you can somehow figure out whats blocking your enjoyment. I would go for video driver, the video cache settings and the video settings first, then swap space (also if enough space is free on the hard disc), then check the integrity of the harddisc, then for USB drivers where your controls are connected, and then for software issues like virus scanner and other bullshid software, etc. Thats how I would start without having any more infos at that stage.

@IronMike: Can you make a new thread out of that please? The other stuff is resolved, so this posting would be lost otherwise. Thanks!

@IronMike I wasn't able to re-produce this issue in 250 (it is Lesson 02 - Taxi, not Lesson 01 - Startup). During the radar altimeter test, the light worked as intended (see reference marker slightly below and slightly above the pointer).

@IronMike: Can you please take a look to these ZIPs?

Oh, that sounds like you had something really bad happening with the filesystem, and good to hear you managed that! Maybe I find a minute or two in the evening to fly exactly that lesson with exactly your configuration (console lights and autopilot), maybe there is something hidden we currently can't see. If you have any new information, please post it here, I will keep monitoring this thread.

Hello joker62! I read carefully through your posting, but I am not sure if I got you right on your first sentence. 1. Is DCS freezing, or 2. Does the lesson just not continue at some point? In case of 1: I cannot really help out without any more infos. In case of 2: Which step is the last one that you can see written on-screen in the right top corner of the screen? Maybe you have the track or a screenshot that I can check too. Regarding the other notes, I will check them ASAP. Thanks in any case for taking the time to write this feedback! Kind regards, TOViper

This is when DCS is so real, that even your computer starts overheating when using the radar for too long without adequate cooling. Like in the the F-4 on ground. Isn't DCS F-4E a great sim in that sense? It seems easy to turn radar off on ground, but what if you use it in air? Does your computer feel ram air then?

Rainbowgirl, which lesson did you try? Was it maybe Lesson 02 - Taxi or Lesson 03 - Takeoff?

No, this is not one of the "secret big ones", for sure! Look into your DCS / MODS / AIRCRAFT / AJS37 / DOC folder, there is a "finished manual" called "DCS_AJS37_Flight_Manual_EN_RC2.1.pdf", which might be if your interest then ...

The information given is correct, but there is a didactic obstacle: One word in the sentence must be replaced by another one, namely "and" with "even" So please understand the sentence in the following way: "ACM is used if an AIM-7, AIM-9 or the M61A1 has to be used against an airborne target even with the Optical Sight being in the Air to Ground mode." If you are in A2G mode, you can immediately use A2A weapons by selecting ACM by pressing the "Cage Button" one time. Edit: This issue is now reported to the team.

Ok, then most probably your slats/flaps switch was not set to position "OUT & DOWN", but only to "OUT". This makes the slats go "OUT" and the flaps "DOWN", and so most people think all is good if they only check the indications, but forget about the switch. But: The slats/flaps switch MUST be set to position "OUT & DOWN" in order to continue with the lesson. Some users use wrong key bindings or just move the switch one step down. Carefully check your bindings here to make sure the aircraft does what you expect it to do. Note: on ground the slats/flaps switch position "OUT" makes the slats to go "OUT" and additionally the flaps go "DOWN"; in flight they behave a little different. Find more on the slats/flaps lever here: https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/cockpit/pilot/left_console/wall.html#slatsflaps-control-panel Edit: it might be the case that you accidentially set something else to a wrong position (despite this is checked duringe the procedure); in this case: carefully go through all BOLD items once more. This is why a CHECKLIST is used before moving on own power; it is important that nothing is left open and none of the systems is in an unsafe condition. Hope you find it phinally working then ... if not, please come back here once more, I will monitor this thread carefully for the next few days. Kind regards, TOViper

Hey Gianky! I flew this lesson a few times, I quickly jump in here and try to help. I have two questions: 1. Did you verify that the chocks have been removed, maybe using F2 view? 2. Did you see this text on screen? "OK, now go through the "BEFORE TAXI PROCEDURE" CHECKLIST on your own to make sure all the bold items were done."

Hey gulredrel! If you have been on the ground, and moved the slats/flaps switch from "OUT & DOWN" position to "OUT" position (which is one step up), then both the slats and the flaps do not change their positions, the will stay in "OUT" and "DOWN". Only when you set the switch to "NORM" position, slats & flaps change to "IN" and "UP". If you'd go for the training lessons, both the switch AND the indications are being checked by the trigger logic in most cases. So if a lesson requires you to set slats & flaps to OUT & DOWN, but only set the switch to "OUT", the lesson usually will not continue. You can read about this system behavior here: https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/cockpit/pilot/left_console/wall.html#nose-gear-down Just if that was the problem at your first try ...

Hello PhantomHans! Unfortunately, I have a very bad internet connection, and I am still downloading all the files that came with the latest update. I'll take care maybe tomorrow if time allows, if not I have to shift until next week. Just wanted to tell you ...
