    We should switch... I have three screens but only one MFD shows up in DCS Controls.

    Does this mod work on all Maps... including PG?

    There are a few reasons why you get the amber FLAPS light (Ref. Page 1.2.57 of the NATOPS manual). 1. Flap switch HALF or FULL and airspeed over 250 Knots. 2. Abnormal Flap Condition (Any Flap is off or Lacks Hydraulic Pressure). 3. Aircraft is in Spin Recovery Mode. 4. Gain Switch in ORIDE position. On aircraft shutdown there is a WARNING (Ref. Page III-7-35 of the NATOPS Manual), "Turning the battery off before the amber FLAPS light illuminates could result in severe uncommanded flight control movement. The only cockpit indication that Hydraulics have been removed from the flight controls and that they are no longer powered is the amber FLAPS light. The FLAPS light in DCS works for three of the four conditions... 1. Both the flaps HALF and FULL Overspeed conditions, the ORIDE position of the Gain switch, and when the aircraft is in the SPIN mode. (Spin switch in the SPIN position). It doesn't work in the Hydraulics zero position following engine shutdown.

    What is the latest version of this MOD?
  5. Bonz
    I can see that as well. It would have to be turn on or turn off ...

    The first iteration is spelled out above... Mostly to enhance the Multiplayer environment so that controllers have the information they need to "Control and Direct". Great Game so Far, keep it up.

    Lots of examples above... I have the same problem... Thanks

    I could also be that whoever set up the carrier may have used a frequency other than the default... that will also give you the "UTM Fail" indication following the initial TEST.

    Hello Kate, 

    I've been flying the Hornet since it first came out. I'm an old Naval Aviator ... flew the A-7E and the F-5E as an adversary many years ago. I think what ED and the rest have done is quite amazing. I'm wondering what suggestions are being addressed. I get a kick out of just starting up the jet and flying.  I also like to complete a flight all the way through shutdown. There is an issue with the shutdown checklist which I suspect you are aware... it's the Flaps light (lower left subpanel) that should come on during shutdown when hydraulics bleeds down and the flaps droop. It's been in the suggestions box for a couple of years... just wondering if that's too many bucks for the bang or hopefully on your list to fix/compete? Again, Great job with the F-18 and DCS in general. Thanks Bonz.

    I have a mission that requires a MOD titled HESCOPACK. I added those items on an old computer and saved the mission to an Online location. When I opened my new computer and tried to open that mission, it tells me I need HESCOPACK. The thing is in both cases (Both Computers) I used the same MODS, loaded via OvGME from JTF-1. So I'm confused as to why the difference. However, is there a mod titled HESCOPACK? I haven't been able to locate it.

    I have the solution... I attempted to calibrate using Windows. Once I realized that this throttle require calibration via SimAppPro the solution was possible. I had to go back into the Window Calibration tool and select my throttle and reset to default.
  15. Bonz
    The Button functions for both throttles work fine... When shutoff both 1 and 2 boxes light up green. When pushed to Idle both circles light up green and both boxes grey out. However, My left throttle axis is off ... a lot. The pictures show both axis at OFF, IDLE, MIL and MAX. My question is... My throttle worked fine until recently ... could this be the result of an incorrect calibration or a mechanical issue in the throttle? Does anyone have a solution?

    Throttle idle cutoff

    I'm hoping you can help me as well. I have a different issue, but it sounds like the remedy is the same. A good calibration. I have discord, Do you have time to help... Bonz
