Wow….just wow.

KY-58 secure voice is not part of MIDS.

This needs to be addressed by ED, the angle of the reclined seat gives a full view of the RWR. It is not obstructed in the real jet.

If you fly online with friends and also use SRS, MIDS is another radio option. This will allow you to monitor two UHF/VHF frequencies on Com1/2 and still have two other radios to talk with human wingman.

In case you are not aware, the footprint (without the suction cups) and the mount holes are the same size and pattern as the Warthog for both throttle and stick. Of course I'm assuming you are coming from a WH.

Tank Pylon Assembly seen in image is what ED is using for everything on 4/6, and that is incorrect. That pylon is only for fuel tanks, it goes up as a assembly comes off as an assembly, even jettisoned together, the pylon doesn't stay behind. The configuration with the HARM in this image is correct, and since they have unrealistic data suggesting that weapons are loaded to 4/6, the configuration seen here is what should be mirror in the game. Again the tank pylon assembly is only for the fuel tanks, not used on any other suspension configuration.

It is momentary switch just as the Warthog CMS switch, just a flick aft grants consent for the system to auto dispense. Unsure if it is implemented in the sim yet, I haven't tried as I like to managed my Chaff/Flare, and not let the system waste it.

Base is picked up by Windows without a grip on my end. That's the same wire I pinched when I swapped tailpiece as well. Do you have another PC that you could test the base on e.g. laptop, neighbors?

+1 I despise any pop up chat messages.

I can answer that QTY cycles through the fuel tanks and their quantity. Image from Chuck’s Guide.

Not true. The real throttle trigger is only for preventing accidental throttle cutoff. It has no feature when moving throttle from cutoff to idle. You just lift and push the throttle over the detent to idle.

Just a guess, but sounds like an issue with Tanker type and not Vaicom issue. If you're attempting to refuel from a tanker that is not compatible with your airframe, you will get no response from the tanker. Example, KC-135MPRS will only refuel aircraft that have a probe e.g. Hornet, Tomcat, Harrier etc. KC-135 (without MPRS) will refuel the remaining airframes like Viper, Warthog, Eagle etc.

If you opened the handle, there's a chance you pinched wires when putting it back together. Your discrepancy sounds exactly the same when I pinched a wire after replacing the stick connector with an offset one.

This says otherwise, it is outdated? @BIGNEWY

I received the Hind DLC via Steam as a Gift today. I followed the instructions for transfer, as I do not use DCS on Steam. On the DCS user profile, I see an error "Appropriate DCS products were not found!". Since the Hind isn't out, is that the cause of the error? Trying to sort this out, so if there is other issues, the gifter can request Steam support or refund in a timely manner.

IRL the pilot is responsible for the code when they step to their aircraft. It is set by ground crew when loaded, but it must be verified by the pilot. Pilots have found them wrong, either by mistake of ground crew, or the info shared had conflicting data.

It is a sense line, it takes from the aft fuselage and sends it to the fwd fuselage via a trim distribution valve. I don’t know what image you’re looking at but it isn’t linked to crossfeed nor boost pumps at all.

It will always use the lesser between the fuselage and total fuel. So the 9000 value would alert because 6060 is in fuselage and below bingo value. Additional info with the Fuel QTY Select Switch and it’s importance to the system. The switch in NORM has a guarded feature that protects against trapped fuel. You could in theory have 7940lbs of total fuel. You set a 2000 Bingo value before flight. Mid flight you receive a BINGO BINGO. On the top layer it looks like you have plenty of fuel, but since the jet uses the lesser of two values you would get a bingo alert because only 2000 is in the fuselage, the remaining 5940 is trapped. If it had waited until total fuel was 2000 to send BINGO, you would have flamed out at 5940 total fuel remaining. Second layer of protection is the jet also sends a Fuel warning if weight is off wheels, the fuel quantity select switch is out of Norm greater than 5 minutes or 500lbs, whichever occurs first. The reason the Fuel QTY Switch is to remain in NORM for flight is the Automatic Forward Transfer only functions when in NORM. This system is designed to automatically maintain CG by automatically transferring fuel from AFT to FWD. Fuel can only be moved from AFT to FWD, it can not correct a FWD imbalance.

Sorry for confusion, you confused me a little and then I realized my mistake was I wrote bingo value instead of fuselage value of 6667 (corrected). So with Fuel QTY Select out of NORM, the fuselage value is artificially set at 6667.

Wrong interpretation of the diagram. What you write is for total internal fuel but not to be confused with fuselage fuel. The bingo value takes the lesser of fuselage fuel value or total fuel weight. Under normal operating conditions the fuselage will always be the lesser value over total fuel. We do not have fuel system malfunctions that I have seen in DCS yet. A viper fuselage: 6060 Slick Viper total fuel weight: 7160 A viper configured with centerline, fuselage still the same: 6060 Total fuel with centerline: 9050 A viper configured with 2 externals, again fuselage still the same: 6060 Total fuel with the bags: 12000 Viper with 3 bags, fuselage: 6060 Total fuel: 13890 The F-16 fuselage fuel storage consist of the following: F-1 Fuselage F-2 Fuselage FWD Reservoir A-1 Fuselage AFT Fuselage The internal wings are not part of the Fuselage fuel. In order for Bingo to compute, the FUEL QTY Select switch must be in NORM. Then only the above fuselage storage breakdown is read while in NORM. With the FUEL QTY Select out of NORM, an artificial fuselage value of 6667 is used. If the problem is one wants to know when their external tanks are empty, what do we get in DCS with the FUEL QTY Select out of NORM? Does the bingo go off at 6667 or does it wait for a value imputed by the user? PS written from knowledge, trying to avoid any verbatim data from -1, 28GS-00-1 to avoid any forum rules violation. Source: system matter expert of the Fuel System on the F-16. Additionally wrote on mobile and formatting is terrible, plus text changed color on me.

Correct as implemented in DCS. Only the value of the fuselage is considered and the wings are not part of the fuselage. So a value of BINGO at 7200 is setting off the warning because the internal fuselage is only 6000 +/-.

Odd that it doesn’t work, my didn’t register until I pushed the throttle into AB. Which made me think it picked up the AB button.

Push the throttle into the AB detent, sounds like it would try to map the AB but it maps the axis.

Wow that is my video, but wasn't aware that is the fix for the grayed out commands. Very good to know.
