Wait for the patch... Settings like VT are not coded yet so we can't tell you the settings that you should use. Patience is your friend.

You simply need to wait for the patch.

Patience is your friend.

Just download a trial version of Windows 7 or 8 and run it in a VM like VirtualBox.

You simply are not on glide slope. Now let me explain... The way the IFLOLS works is it is tied to your view, not necessarily your aircraft. For instance you can go to an external view and zoom out to the back of the deck and you can get to the proper positioning to watch the "ball" rise and fall based entirely on moving your view up and down. So your buddies that were watching you would not see "your" ball unless they were in your cockpit. Chances are they were in an external view of your aircraft thus their "view" would be outside of a glide slope. So, again, you are not on glide slope.

For carrier launches you need to manually set the trim correctly as compared to your total aircraft weight.

Please post a track file of what you are experiencing so the Devs can take a look at what is going on.

You need to provide a track file. Second I would run the repair utility and see if that resolves the issue. I'd also make sure you are in Sim mode and not game mode.

It should only be that way if you configure it to do that.

That was fixed last week.

Are you trying from Al Dahfra? I think there is a previous bug with that airbase.

Toma raises a good point. You can also try re-saving the previous mission with post-update for the new changes to take effect.

Did you update? If you updated you should see that function.

Post a .trk file and provide more detail as to what steps you took prior to taking off.

I was referring to the real aircraft. Most consumer throttles do not have an AB detent.

Technically the A-10C landed in beta in Oct 2010 too.

Yes This is to force the throttles into afterburner. Usually there is a simple "push through" but when you are on the carrier I believe you have to lift them to get them into afterburner.

There's nothing in the patch notes, that doesn't mean it isn't in there. If it did not make it in, then it is what it is.

That's different from what you posted above. Try activating the control windows to see what inputs DCS is seeing while you are operating your rudder.

Yes You can, though it is not optimal. For instance when TWS is implemented you will be able to designate once to have a "soft lock" and designate a second time to hard lock a target. You will want to have an un-designate configured. Yes, it will come in handy later on.

Glad to read that some of my previous points helped. In regards to this scenario... Without knowing exactly the situation; one must keep in mind that the radar extends as a cone from the nose. Small at the A/C and gets bigger as it extends out. So it is possible to be close enough that the aircraft in front of you is not within that radar cone. One thing to look at is how far you are scanning, i.e 40NM or so; pay attention to the "space" that is scanned - low versus high altitude. Then pan your cursor down to the bottom of the radar page. Take a look again at what altitudes are "visible" in this part of the "cone." I've vaguely recall seeing a good 29k foot separation at roughly 35NM and only about 2k when at the bottom of the page. In your situation the "target" may have fallen within that cone or it may have just been outside of it. Part of the problem is trying to figure out what is a limitation of the current radar implementation and what is a limitation of our understanding of how the radar works.

One thing to remember is that you have no direct control over any control surface. You have traditional flight controls to tell the flight computer what you want the aircraft to do and then it moves whatever surfaces it determines will accomplish your goal.

Post a trackfile, there are many things you could be doing wrong, unknowingly, that is leading to the issue you are seeing. Also reference my previous post, I do not experience the issues you are seeing when operating the radar.

Also make sure you are using the right radio.
