I was about to comment that as much as I am dissapointed with my own skills, I am even more dissapointed by weird stuff that happens in Su-37 cockpit, like 27ER looses track for no aparent reason... Failing to lounch all day. As much as I do blame my poor skills as a/a pilot I do have very hard time to belive that Fox 1 missle is unable to track AI MI 24. Anyway, I got feeling that most of simple aircraft in DCs are forgoten and when you get new plane, be it Ed or other it is all the same stuff in another package. Almost no newer weapons. I think I am just done with this, too many tries and too many failed expectations for me.

Hello. I wanted to try out this mod finaly, but I am having hard time to map all needed settings on my Hotas X. I know basic joystick but it is all i got. I am having problems with finding target marking settings (slew and target mark), also, please do suggest if I need somethinf special, Like selecting A/G mode or something. More detailed mapping instructions would also be most welcome.

Just wondering,Can someone recomend server that is using this mod? I Love Tucano!

Thank you. In mean time I decided I want to have only one modifier button and on stick I put A/A buttons only as I flew plane more I realized that I always have nuff time to manualy switch and setup plane with mouse for A/G stuff anyway and I am so bad in A/A that all important stuff in joystick and throttle is a must so that is what I went with and so far so good. As for bombing, I cannot find tutorial which I used for practise but it worked. Default guide sets you up for 20 degree dive but I found one that sets you up from 5000 to 6000 feet of initial dive pointat an 10 degree dive and when at about 1500 to 2000 feet above ground you drop bomb. In most cases I hit right on target. Ill try to find exact guide and I post it here if I find. Still as on L 39 ZA rockests are best bet especially since you got HEAT models hehe. Edit:

Does anyone by any chance have Keybinding for Thrustmaster Hotas X? I have my setup, but insight to others setup might give me idea how to setup my better. It is somewhat button lasking set, but It is all i got at the moment.

Thanks guys. I got better in mean time, found some nice tips on bombing in f5 and I am getting there slowly. I might get into dogfighting one day, but not at this point. Couple of test shoots againt helicopers were fail. That P5 missles dont see them at all. So I guess I need something in line of Mig 21, but As I said I am fan of A/G and I also love to do Rescue missions on multiplayer with Huey so that will do for now

I tested this on several aproaches while lever was in lowest position and fplaps did its thing along with inicator marking it, but as soon asn I flipped it in "correst Thumb SW" position, it suddenly went from flaps down to full up. As I put switch back to down position , then flaps got back in landing configuration. Keep in mine that all the time slider on throttle was full aft in "Auto" position. I mean I fly lot of planes long enough to know in what configuration I need to be to land as slow as possible so from that point I have my flap lever (one mehind throittle in fulld own position (I forgot name of that one) and slider on throttle in "Auto" position and that seems to work as it should, automatically. Also I am happy to report I am getting better and better in shooring stuff Btw, is there any good guide about A/g munitions in more detail?

Hello, again. I just wrapped up all training missions. I noticed that my Auto flaps button is saying "UP" if i recall correctly while lever is in SW position and on throttle slider in "Auto". But, while i was doing some of other trainign mission (cant recall which one), Aircraft was already in air, preset with level fully down and in "auto" position on throttle. Marker in upper left corner also indicated "auto" for flaps. Now if I recall flight training and Grim Reapers videos, for auto mode lever should be in middle position (aka "SW") aint that right? I am confused now, how should I setup my flaps for landing forinstance? I presume lever in SW mode and slider full back in Auto mode? I admit I forgot to check how was setup for rockets and bombing Edit: I went and check setup in laserbombing practise and Flaps lever behind throttle was in lowest position (full if I recall correctly) and when slider on throttle was in Auto mode, all was working correctly. But when I pulled lever in SW mode, flaps and slats went full up and I mark on front dash was also saying up. As least it is working as auto at least in one setup lol.

I got also one complaint. I think it must be said that training missions are just horrible (sorry to say that but it is true). I was just trying to do first (MSL) missle training and I could not get one single thing. Maybe it is just me but voice over could go milion miles from where it is now.

I just got same mistake on my tacan training flight. As i mentioned on forum I think it started to work after i quickly set from X to Y and back, but I am not positive as I was already confused by now and landed by memory lol.

Ok, disregard that. It looks like this is bug that it was already reported.

Just bought by F-5E on discount and went through training missions. First off, I hate that they are not narated like others, but it is what it is. Second. On my navigation mission i could not set Tacan to work for life of it. I did as tutorial says (I think it was 31X) I heard first beep from it but then it died on me. I realised only 3/4 of way that it is not working due to distance being stuck on 60. i quickly set x to y and back and that seemed to spring it in action, but I still do not get how it is working. If I am correct this is something like military version of adf right? If that is so I can manage it, but I guess I expected it to be like military VOR which was not the case. My offcourse middle needle was all way out and it did not want to get into middle. Fourth question: Does Anyone knows what are working parameters of tacans in DCS (like max distance, min-max altitude etc). Ty. Also any tip you can give is more than welcomed.

I just updated to openbeta, did not check what version, latest I hope. of mods I only have SRS installed (but not using it). Still, I will try to remove all mods and repair again. What I found out, that i get my pipers if I put hud switch to low position which should be off. I think that is very weird. Still, I could not hit my marks, I guess due to damn delay of fire button. Rockets are fine thou. I guess all that practise on L-39 rockets paid off lol. Rest...well...one step at a time xd. Thank you for help.

This is my last attempt and could be right since rest of stuff I got is working good, apart from m2k. Ill try. I guess I need to reinstall then. Duh.

Ok. Just found out, it is in user/saved games/dcs folder under controlinput.

Hello. I found nice mapping for my Hotas X joystick for KA 50 but I got no idea where to put it so I can load profile from game. I have it in: \DCS World\Mods~Aircraft\KA-50\input\ka-50\joystick But game does not offer me ability to even load profile. Help is apreciated.

I flew another flight. THis time I filled all pylons with only Snakeeyes. I did same thing and went to see if I will get piper , which I did. Yee! Now it was croocked so I presume it could be due fact I forgot to turn on radar on EM...ups... I did midd so, more test but, good point, after repairing install. Btw, which version of DCS do you run? Could be that i have wrong version. (2.7.7.15038)

Yea it is "Weapons SystemCMD FWD". I typed from memory and shortened name I did turn on TAS and RS For Pylon selection, I did not I think. If I remeber by default should be in auto mode? I usualy put only Magics II (if I remeber well, 530 is radar guided and not fire and forget missle, so i dont like it XD). I will go and check pylon selector (if i can find it).

Hello. I came back after looong been away from dcs and wanted to get better in Mirage. While I managed startup very fast, delivering weapons is problem. I cannot get any piper on my HUD be it rockets or snaykeys or belugas (only ones I tried so far). What i do, I activater master arm, select weapon, set up fuse and ripple and press button for CDM foeward which should activate aming piper and line fro dropping mombs or piper for rockets. I can shoot, but I got no any aming alive apart from default used while in navigation. Also I turn on my radar switches, just to mention. Since i am fresh after long "nap" I am almost sure I am missing something important, but not sure. Any tips are apreciated. Ty

Ow, then I know what it is. I have a bit older throttle which like to wobble just a tiny bit on lowest setting. That is what is most likely culprit. Ty.

Hello all. I recently got back and enjoy casual fun with A-10A. But on most ocassions (not all the time) when I am on server I just cant pass startup sequence, which is usualy: 1) Electrics - RShift + L 2) Right engine - RCTRL + Home 3) Left engine RAlt + Home Now, last couple of times it likes to "stuck" on trying to startup first engine. I hear APU startup but not engine itself and rpms stays dead. I could use help here, since I am not sure what is going on.

Ah I thought that there is other than He rockets... Still there are two versions: Lau-131 and lau-68. Is there any difference?

Hehe, That explains smoke lol

Hello again guys. I had lot of nice missions with this awsome plane. But one thing is creeping up alot. Now, I see 2 different pylon versions of A version. I also see 2 different HE and WP wersions of rocket. But i n order to make this question simple. I need to know which rockets I can use in order not to get damn smoke out of them? Like one HE and one WP version. Manual is missing detailed weapon list data sadly. :(

After some more flights I guess all went mostly into normal without any major issues. I am getting better with aiming and flying A 10. All in all i am happy :)
