  1. By long pressing the NWS button just as he described. It needs to be a long press not a click and release.
  2. There is no sweet spot where you can be hands off. You will need to be working the throttle a lot, the stick just a little. However I don’t mean going full burner and back to idle. There’s a zone that you find yourself in, once in that zone you will start to move the throttle forwards and backwards to maintain positioning. Those of us who fly in close formation a lot have it called “see the motion, stop the motion”. So if I see the tanker start to pull away, I’ll quickly advance the throttle a little bit but then I’ll snap it back to my zone. This prevents over corrections, but will likely cause them early on for someone not familiar with it. Close formation and or tanking isn’t something that is easy. My best advice is to start with small goals. Fly in form on the wing, progress to under the tanker trailing the boom, move in close, and then try to connect, each connection try to stay longer on the boom. Don’t get frustrated or tense up, wiggle the toes (don’t ask how it works, it just does). Last thing make sure you open your Aerial Refuel Door early on, it brings the viper flcs gains down so the controls are slightly dampened.
  3. A-10 has a pretty smart toy, called the CDU. Check out http://www.476vfightergroup.com/showthread.php?3861-Night-Landing-without-instruments&p=41499&viewfull=1#post41499 or just read my quoted section below of how to land without an ILS or TACAN.
  4. I'm still playing with x/y but my offset is 125%.
  5. If your Teamspeak locks up your PC while TARGET is running, the gamepad/joystick plugin was causing it, not 100% sure but I believe that bug was fixed.
  6. I think either firmware changing for R3 caused the issue or something on ED ends did. When I first got my R3L everything was mapped correctly. However I just updated firmware on Monday and DCS didn't auto assign the mappings. Thankfully it isn't too complicated to map out the stick, just select the HOTAS tab and go down the list for the stick.
  7. Highly recommend Redkite, definitely well done, easy to follow, and points out things that may not be working in current builds.
  8. Captured the Main Gen failure tonight while working on something else. Jet is hot on the ramp at Nellis, and around 31 minutes the MFD power cycles, Master Caution illuminates, ELEC Caution light, and MAIN GEN light also come on. I exited shortly afterwards. MainGen Failure 30 minutes on ground.trk
  9. In the main menu, lower right corner, is there a series of numbers like 2.5.5.#####? I don’t know if Steam shows that or not. It sounds like you may not have told steam you want to opt into beta. You can do that by right clicking on the title and selecting properties I believe. Then from there one of the tabs should have the option for beta. Sorry I can’t be more specific, I don’t use steam for dcs.
  10. I think you're experiencing this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=269191
  11. I'll send you a message via Discord.
  12. Horn is definitely there, not sure if modeled correctly though as it doesn't sound per HARTS parameters.
  13. 2. Don't click LIST and then 2 as that will take you to the BINGO page. You want to go to ALOW page.
  14. Analogue clock as in the one on the right auxiliary console? The clock, located on the right auxiliary console, is an 8-day, manually wound clock with provisions for an elapsed time indication up to 60 minutes.
  15. I mapped the brightness controls to some of my tablet buttons for inflight adjustments.
  16. Note the "300" gallon fuel tank doesn't hold 300 gallons, it only holds roughly 270 gallons.
  17. It is modeled, used it the other day in MP CAP.
  18. So hornet gets the love but not the viper. Okay...
  19. Do you use SteamVR? Otherwise that won't really make sense to you just yet. SteamVR does support Oculus Rift, I use it myself.
  20. If you are comfortable with your BIOS you can install vJoy. Secure Boot in BIOS is stopping the install of vJoy with Win 10. Once I disabled secure boot, vJoy installed with no issues. PS I see there is a new version that should install without needing to do the secure boot thing. I had the issue prior to this newer version. YMMV
  21. Care to share a screen shot of what you see? I have the same tablet minus the bluetooth, and didn't experience that. However, I have not updated to latest version.
  22. Yep, I had wrote the same thing out but I hadn't read your reply yet. Before clicking submit I did and realized I didn't need to. :thumbup:
  23. We definitely need something because the throttle animation in the cockpit doesn't match the physical MIL detent or the motor values. The throttle has to be slightly over the detent for MIL. Shouldn't need to saturate curves and lose precision to match something so simple. The real jet at the detent is MIL.
