That fixed it, thanks LazyBoot! Just had to change textures to high as it was set to low, I didn't know haha. Thanks! The lines now appear on hud

Yeah, @Dave317. I always turn that on upon startup. I make sure it's on NAV, which it is. ^^

Hello! I've just recently purchased the AV-8B Harrier on Steam and had 2 days so far in it. I've been watching a whole ton of videos for so many hours and I can successfully takeoff and land using VTOL and start from cold and dark. I'm still practicing. However, i'm really stuck on trying to use the Mavericks. When I lock onto a target (Let's say AA vehicle e.g) using the DMT, and then uncage my warmed up IRMV. I press the Sensor Select Switch Forward (Made sure it says IRMV), and then pressed TDC down.. err.. The problem was that the uncaged maverick screen didn't lock onto the target at all. Instead, it locked/moved to the sky where the planes nose is facing and it's very aggravating because I have to go around and set up all the camera's again and hope that the camera doesn't drift off when I press TDC down. Also, i've seen lots of tutorials. They have lines in their HUDS. When I was trying to use the MK82 bombs, I didn't get any squares or circles in my HUD. This is what my HUD looks like. See in the middle, there's no lines whatsoever. Any help would be really nice! I've been trying to figure out the HUD problem for so many hours, it's driving me insane hahaha. I thought maybe it was a bug, or a button I missed?

My previous flights went well thanks to your guy's info/guides! Thank you. =) I researched more and studied Brevity from A-Z. I studied the manual for the M2K and found out one of the previous problems I had with the HSI gauge not working. I figured out I had to create a waypoint for it to work in navigation mode. I figured out how to turn on the communication/radio panel, and know how to set altitudes for autopilot and shoot mag missiles now! The only problem I have trouble with I suppose is the IFF radar still. I researched the manual and double-checked and read the page about the symbols that appear on the IFF. I understand about the symbols that are airborne, and aircraft that are locked onto you and an incoming missile. I just can't seem to identify whether or not what I'm shooting at is an enemy or foe. Let's say a Mig-21 popped up on my IFF radar. In my M2K, there's a radar down below the hud where you can slew and select targets. Let's say there's about 5. How do I know which one is the Mig-21 or not? I don't even know if it's a enemy haha. I may have accidentally shot a teammate down by accident, and then after that I stopped dogfighting for a bit after huge confusion on how it works. I'm a bit better at Air-to-Ground targets than air targets since i'm having a bit time deciding whether or not if they are enemies I can engage. I'll continue studying, and I think I should ask this in the M2K section to see if that helps or keep trotting around the forums to see if I found a solution. I know you can identify enemy aircraft in the F-15, but I can't seem to identify any in the M2K; unless enemy contacts only show up on the IFF but then there's the problem of having 5 contacts down below my hud radar. :)

Thank you so much! These are very helpful answers. I wanted to engage into the community after enjoying DCS for so long haha! I find it really nice to be in a community where people share similar interests and love for what you're into, especially of that being aviation. I will look into the forums and do some searching like you said! Thank you for your reply, it all makes a lot of sense now and now i'll know what AWACS is telling me haha. I think I've heard BRAA somewhere in the sim before and started questions to myself what that actually meant. I'll use that for the next time I fly again, many thanks! I'll also look into Brevity. I'm already liking the community! I can see getting a bit frustrated. There's a lot of complex systems you have to learn in order to actually fly and hit something, I've had that same experience with the A-10. For the M2K, i'll go around searching for information regarding it. Thanks for the video, will check it out!

Hello, I've been quite new to DCS and started playing it about a month ago. I've already invested into flying the A-10C and the Mirage 2000C. They're very fun to fly and I have a lot of fun learning how to fly them. I have numerous questions about it however. I've been wanting to do SRS radio communication, but I have no clue about military communicating and it's a bit different than communication I've learned for Vatsim flying. I would like to know if there's a guide for that! I notice AWACS gives out a certain readback after you request bogey dope. For example "150 for 60 at 15,000" if I remember. My question is, what is 150 for 60? I don't remember the exact number but I think it was in xxx for xx. 150 sounds like a heading, but then what is 60? Please correct me if i'm wrong, the more information I inquire then the more information I can use to perfect my flying skills and knowledge! For the IFF, which I believe is what is used to scan for enemies and friendlies and more.. How can you identify on your radar if whatever it picked up is an enemy or friendly? I've been flying the M2000C a lot, and just got it a few days ago and i'm still learning it. I fly around for a while, and I get multiple readings on the IFF like SWF (If I remember), M2K, M21 and such as. I wanna lock onto one of those aircraft but I don't wanna shoot at friendly. For my last question, is there a way you can plan routes in your M2000? I login to Multiplayer servers and notice that I only have 2 destinations while in my A-10C I have multiple destinations. Like, for example waypoint 3 is hard target practice destination while on the M2000 I don't get that. I wonder if there's a way you can manually load in a flight plan. Thank you for reading, and I hope that this is not too many questions. I love learning about aircraft and i'm a huge Aviation fan. (I'm also new to this site). Thank you. ^.^
