I don’t know of any way to prevent NWS from engaging on landing apart from trying to stop the nose gear from touching the ground using aero braking, which isn’t standard technique for USN landings. As has been mentioned above, you can disable NWS once engaged using the paddle switch. This modeling appears to be correct as the F/A-18C NATOPS dated September 2008 has the following statement in Paragraph 2.10.2 - “ During landing, nosewheel steering is automatically engaged in the low mode with weight on the nose gear.” If you’re having problems with over correcting on the rudder during landing then you might want to try adjusting the curves and dead zone, Chuck’s guide has a recommendation that works well for me, even with NWS on. If the issue is oscillations under braking then make sure you have anti-skid on when landing on a runway.

It isn’t in the user guide. It mentions to avoid Waterloo Red in the Mission One briefing but I didn’t see an explanation for what it was anywhere. Thanks for clearing it up.

The campaign mentions avoiding Waterloo Red in Mission 1 but I can’t see where that is. I’ve checked all the briefing material but can’t find anything. Is it detailed anywhere?

Mover, who was an F-16 Pilot, has made it clear that F-16 pilots can sustain 9g: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4071238&postcount=5 He also briefed the centrifuge 9g profile for F-16 pilots (same as Bies stated), which could be considered by ED as the minimum sustained 9g profile in the DCS F-16 before the onset of significant visual G effects. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4071348&postcount=9 Edit: interesting video Mover made about pulling G -

Please could you add me to the list.

The Aries radio comms system will work with the in-cockpit radios on the A-10C, KA-50 and P-51D plus using a pop-up box on the FC3 aircraft, CA and Su-25T in DCS World: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=104800

Have tested in MP 1.1.0.9 and can confirm it works exactly as SlackerD explained with the 63 channel split on Y and it provides range but no bearing information. Multiple aircraft can simultaneously set the same receiver frequency and get distance to the receiver aircraft (in our test this was lead). This feature has very limited functionality without bearing information but I continue to be amazed at the depth of modelling in this sim.

SlackerD, thank you for your excellent response. Rep inbound. Will try this in MP and see if it works. Am aware you can get this information by hooking on the TAD but was looking to see if TACAN could be used in the sim to always provide range and bearing information to Lead in a MP flight. Regarding range but not bearing information, can I just confirm if this applies to the real A-10 or is a limitation of the sim.

Is it possible in DCS: A-10C for a human controlled A-10C to broadcast their position using TACAN in order to provide range and bearing information for other aircraft in a MP?

If the book is being shipped from inside the UK to a UK address, the £5.41 for shipping is very high. A package of between 500-750g would be £2.24 second class and £2.65 first class. The high price appears to be because the only two shipping options offered are inside and outside of Europe. For those who want to order direct from TFC in the UK is it possible to get a UK shipping option added as a Paypal link?

Slight misunderstanding here Frederf. I wasn't providing the track as proof that the radio in use was not switching, merely to show that it was not possible to listen to two frequencies at the same time, in this case guard and the selected frequency. This makes me think the R-800 is switching channels rather than a different R-800 being selected when the guard switch is in the up position. Otherwise why not offer to option to monitor the guard frequency at the same time as receiveing/transmiting on the tuned frequency (127.5 MHz)? This view is my personal opinion only and as you say is not proved by the track. Interestingly while trying to find more information on the R-800L1, I found a pdf script on the DCS web-site used for the training missions that says the Ka-50 only has 2 VHF transceivers: Source: http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=23155&d=1230668637 I have watched Training Mission 1 again and Wags does indeed state that the Ka-50 has two VHF radio transceivers as per the quote above. I will continue trying to find more information about this. Also thanks for the information on the SA-TLF switch.

BillyCrusher, Works perfectly holding the System Group switch in the appropriate position (GR1, GR2 or GR3) as you said. As soon as you let the switch go it turns off the MWL and Master Fire Caution but leaves on the fire warning lights on the right wall panel. Thanks very much for everyone's help, problem solved.

Moving the switch to the guard/emergency position does not appear to change to a different radio. It simply changes the frequency of the R-800 to the guard channel (121.5 MHz). You can't transmit when in this mode and you can't receive on the normal frequency (127.5 MHz by default) showing that it isn't using two radios at the same time. I have attached a track that demonstrates this. Some military aircraft have a radio setup that allows you to monitor the guard channel at the same time as transmitting/receiving on a different frequency but the Ka-50, at least as modelled in BS, does not allow you to do this. It therefore still leaves the question, is there a 2nd R-800 on the Ka-50 as stated on page 1-5 of the manual and if so what is it used for? I believe there are 3 possible options: 1. It is a typo and there is only 1x R-800 2. It provides datalink functionality (related to jam resistant VHF-TLK switch maybe?) 3. It is a backup radio in the event of failure of the first R-800. Also does anyone know what the data link SA-TLF switch does on the Radio and Data Link Power Control Panel (5th switch on the right from the Intercom power on switch). Page 2-77 simply refers to the name SA-TLF switch but there is nothing else in the manual about it. R-800 Radio Test (Guard).trk
