  1. Thanks for responding - how do I tell it to go to snowplow/boresight in the HUD?
  2. When I designate a ground target, the TPOD rectangle stays at the designation and won't go away. I use BS aft but the rectangle stays in place. Another issue is when I designate the hud by going acq press and forward, the second time I do it I should be getting the TPOD to shift forward as well. I am a hot mess with trying to figure it out. I am trying to change to a secondary target.
  3. Thanks, I will look under third party.
  4. Maybe I am not seeing it but I don't see a forum for it listed and it is one of the more popular platforms on DCS
  5. I have been having a problem entering 199 into the UFC it continually cycles to 001 and wont let me enter in 199 to go to Data Mode so I can change the SLAV to MAST and so forth - can anyone help with this issue?
  6. I have been flying the F/A 18 since inception. I still have not mastered everything in it. I would say I am a jack of all trades but master of none in it. I love flying on and off the carrier, but it has so many weapons and systems to know how to fire them it's not for the faint of heart. Also, the Air-to-Air radar is a beast to learn. I still have trouble with it. The Apache however - although I can't say i have mastered it, I have only had it since inception and I feel like i know it like the back of my hand, much simpler to learn weapons systems but not fly. I only play SP but i do know how to do the CPG as well, but don't use it. I say get the Apache and then branch out to other aircraft.
  7. Once I set my curves to the right level and fixed the trim in special - I am hovering and landing like a breeze. The hardest thing was to find info on what to do from the pilot seat since I only play by myself. Most information is for someone lasing from CPG - but I searched until I found out what I am doing. The other issue I had was having George consistently fire the Hell Fires - but I found out what my issue was - not obtaining a good rectangle, this lets me know George is ready to fire. I think sometimes I may not have been in visual range, obstacles, for him to fire. And he requires a perfect shot. I like the Apache so much that I am neglecting the F-18 hornet. BTW - if you don't have a butt kicker get one - it was made for the Apache - it's okay in the F-18 but i feel like I'm really flying in the Apache. The rumble from the rotors in my chair is awesome. And the kick i get when I fire missiles is double the fun.
  8. I could not land or stay in a hover when my curves were at 35 - it was very unstable and not enjoyable to fly. Through trial and error - I finally am able to hover and land where i want without much issue - I have a TM warthog and CH-pedals -- I didn't like messing with the sat Y and X and left them alone - I just changed all my curves to 18 with a 3 dead zone and I am in bliss. I also changed my cyclic trimmer in special - to instatrim ffb friendly and my pedals to without springs. I would eventually like to put a trim on my pedals but for now I am flying like a pro -love the Apache.
  9. I have been having the same problem of George not firing after a few strikes of the hellfire - it would seem that someone at ED would give us some feed back on this since so many are having this problem - such as its a bug and we will fix it would be nice
  10. has anyone found a fix for this - I can't get George to fire hellfire's 50% of the time, also sometimes he will acquire the target and sometimes not, its hit or miss- since I'm a solo player this sucks.
  11. I just wanted to say that this module is testing my ability to think and retain information. Just when i think i won't be able to hover then I do it. Now I am doing it well. Just when i think I won't be able to land then I do it and now im competent at it. The computer systems are complicated, but I am muddling my way through all the systems. Now i am concentrating on the AI and TADS. Fantastic work on this module ED - I am struggling at times, but I sure do love and having extreme fun with the challenge! You can't just hop and go on this one.
