I think it goes down when the canopy goes up.

I had problems on a mission yesterday....Master Arm On, A/G Mode confirmed, and could not select bombs or rockets on left DDI. Recycled Master Arm and A/G mode several times, no joy. Haven't had a chance to try to duplicate the problem yet. And this was from the original loadout, not a in-game rearm.

I just did a flight with some Zuni's and MK82 Snakeeyes loaded. Loaded at cold start, not during a rearming, so this is not that bug. Once over the target area I was unable to select any A/G weapons. Master Arm confirmed ON, A/G mode confirmed. Cycled both several times. Stores display on left DDI, clicking the weapon select buttons wouldn't bring them up. Any ideas what I might have been doing wrong? Also...once you have been in A/A mode and made the radar page your selected sensor, how do you unselect that if you want to make the HUD SOI again?

F/A-18C take off procedure (help)
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to Growling Sidewinder's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
Correct on the TO trim, the Hornet is nose heavy and the TO trim toes in the rudders to help pitch the nose up. I have also been having a problem finding the sweet spot on throttle control when landing, I either have too much power or not enough and cant seem to get it smooth. I am staying off the carrier until I can land smoothly on the runway! -
F-18 Cold Start Throttle Issue
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to jj_bravo's topic in Controller Questions and Bugs
Glad I found this thread, I couldn't figure out what was going wrong on my cold starts! -
I only have a few minutes in the Hornet so far as I have been busy with family things today and haven't had time to set up my controls, but I am impressed!! Beautiful bird, flies like a dream, and there will be lots to learn as all the systems come online!! Thanks!! On a side note, the update seems to have smoothed out the stuttering I was getting in VR. It seems much less pronounced now.

The Hornet Release Day Anticipation Thread
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to FZG_Immel's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
I think ED should look at some kind of staggered release to avoid these massive server jam-ups. These are not good for anyone. Stagger release by date of purchase, country, time zone, or something. -

9:00 AM in Moscow right now....push the button boys!!! -
I have been trying to tweak my settings as well, I am getting a nice smooth framerate but irregular "stutters" that are annoying as all get out. I will try lowering the preload radius and turning down the grass/clutter setting and see what that does for me, or to me.

Rift Microphone not Working
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to Mad Dog 7.62's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
That's exactly what it was! Thanks Wolixe!! -
My Rift microphone has suddenly decided to stop working. I have made sure it is enabled in both the Windows sound panel and the Oculus home app, but its not sending anything to Voice Attack and when I test it in windows it doesn't pick up any sound. Anyone else run into this or have and other ideas?

I don't get why its saying that for all my earlier aircraft and terrain modules that I have serial numbers for?? I thought this new copy protection scheme only applied to the new stuff after the A/V-8B???
-
I am getting the "not authorized" message for all my aircraft and terrain modules in single player this evening. Something is not right.

Persian Gulf Map Install Error Log
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to FA_Crazy-Canuck's topic in Installation Problems
I am getting an "unknown" error when trying to install the Persian Gulf map, even though DCS prompts me to install it. I have ran the updater and am up to date. -
List of Hornet Keyboard Commands

It would be great if it came set up for plug n play with the TM Warthog.... -
I just wasted my time installing DCS 2.5
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to Stickman's topic in Installation Problems
There is something going on right now with ED and their servers. I used a translate tool on the stuff at the top of the page and got this: Dear users! In connection with random blocking of Roskomnadzorom of networks of various operators and including the networks of German operator Hetzner, some servers of our company located on the platform Hetzner suddenly turned out inaccessible in Russia. For us it was of communication total неожиданностью. В with that, in present moment problems with updating DCS World at users locating on Russia territory can be observed. The errors of updating, launch DCS World, as well as loading of some files from the site DCS are possible. We make all effortss for search of possible variants of the decision of given problem (letters in the РКН and Hetzner are sent). -
Please bring back model visibility options
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to lanmancz's topic in DCS Core Wish List
There needs to be something that works for VR users to spot targets, other than labels, which are enormous in VR by the way. If you don't want to use it, don't use it, but don't tell everyone else what they should want to see in the sim. I fly mostly in the A-10 and in VR and not being able to spot ground targets at a realistic distance is very troublesome. What we have now, especially in VR, is not realistic. I can easily see a uncamoflauged car or tank from 5000 feet over the desert IRL, not so much in the sim. It needs to be addressed. Personally I don't think the current situation is realistic even when not flying VR, but it certainly is a problem in VR. I don't understand players railing against something that would make the sim better for others, that they can choose not to use if they don't want to. Kind of like easy flight mode or easy comms.....what's the big deal? Its an option, deselect it if you don't want it. -
Please bring back model visibility options
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to lanmancz's topic in DCS Core Wish List
It sure would make it easier to spot targets in VR!!! -
I am using 55 IPD in the VR settings and it is so much better! I haven't tried cranking it past that, but 55 looks "right".

Well I just upgraded to 2.5 Stable from 2.2 Open Alpha. NONE of my purchased modules are recognized now, I get a message that they are "bound to a different account" which they are not, they were all working fine in 2.2. Any idea how to fix this?? Even manually entering the serial number does not fix the problem. The only purchased module that works is the Harrier.

What does the new Changelog and update post mean?
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to imacken's topic in DCS 2.9
I thought when the stable version is out it was supposed to update 2.2 to 2.5? Mine is not updating. -
So is the version that finally updates 2.2 to 2.5?
-
You could, by changing the release branch using Skate Zillas tool, but given the problems some people are having with 2.5 Beta, I would be patient for them to get some more bugs worked out. If you wipe your release version then find problems with 2.5, you'll be up the creek without a paddle. I am sticking with my 2.2 install for the time being for that reason.
