I noticed when I use the Ticonderoga in combined arms it will not attack ground units. But you can attack the terrain next to a unit and the ship starts firing.

Is this fix already included in the last update from friday?

Thanks a lot!

I have created a trigger zone and checked the option hidden. But now I can not find a way to make it visible again. The zone is still there, but I can not edit or remove it anymore. Can somebody help?

LotusDragon started following cockpit visual recon mode and How To Modify The Autostart Sequence

Sometimes, its very easy to lock a vehicle and sometimes its impossible. It is supposed to depend on lighting conditions, which might result in bad contrast. In the past I remember it was only depending on the time of day and it was impossible to get a lock at times near dusk or dawn. At the moment a real simulation of the contrast detection of the shkval is not implemented I think. As a work around you can still launch the missles in manual mode and guide them manually.

How is the new Pandemic Campaign?
LotusDragon replied to LotusDragon's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
I bought the campaign too! I really like the setting and I was surprised about the detailed villages in the persian gulf map. I never before explored this spot on the map from the view of helicopter. Thats really cool. But as I am not the best Ka-50 pilot I must say already mission two is hard for me. At first it was hard to spot the right targets from the distance and now I got this far, that in the end always the last enemy tank shot me down. As there were two Hind helicopters for support, it is a pity that I can not call them again for help after they finished their attack run. I would have liked that mission to be a bit more flexible designed, but I know how the mission editor works and it worked without any bugs. In one attempt I missed a trigger zone, so its important not to miss an important waypoint. At least the good thing is that I really have the feeling I get better with every failed mission. So maybe today I can finish the 2nd mission. -
Secret manual missle launch mode?
LotusDragon replied to LotusDragon's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
Thanks for all the replies! Now I understand the Vikhr guidance system a bit better -
Thanks for the quick answer! That option would be nice, because for the immersion into the mission I like to hear the russian voices. But my russian is very bad and I can not follow the mission without english subtitles.

Hello, I just started the Pandemic Campaign and I really like the setting and the beginning of it. In the description it says it has english and russian voiceovers. So far I hear all in english. Is there the option to play with russian voiceovers and english subtitles?

How is the new Pandemic Campaign?

Cool, I think I will buy it too! -
I have this module already for some years, but I never used the manual weapon mode in the past. I did not notice it in the flight manual and maybe it is not really explained. In fact it is a very important option and easy to be neglected as a beginner. When you set the weapon mode from auto to manual it enables you to launch the Vikhar missles without a proper lock. This is very imortant when you can not get a lock due to bad lighting conditions for example at dawn. Also it enables you to launch ripples of missles, which can be really deadly. You can launch a missle every few seconds and then slew one after the other manually onto the next target. I hope this info is interesting for you and I am not the only one who did not know about this

Has somebody already started with the new Pandemic Campaign for the Black Shark? I am curious how it is and if it is worth the money.

I don't know if it's just my fault or if it is a bug. When I want to select the radio preset channels with the UFC it is not working. When I select the channel with step up/down or I type in the channel number than the frequency is displayed below, but it is not used to transmit/receive. To make it work I have to type in the whole frenquency manually and confirm with enter every time I want to change it. What am I doing wrong? Does somebody else have the same problem?

[REPORTED] INS guided munitions not working
LotusDragon replied to bdlarkin's topic in Bugs and Problems
+1 Today I was not able to release any GBU-54. I started a mission hot on the runway in Syria. I think I did everything correctly as shown in the video by Wags. But the bomb release didnt work. -
Help! No gun pipper or bomb reticle
LotusDragon replied to LotusDragon's topic in DCS: A-10C Warthog
Thanks Dagger, I think it happened because I forgot to select EGI as nav mode. This explains why I also had no flight path vector. I will test this later. Thanks for the help!
