If the NS 430 module isn't supposed to work with dates earlier than March 28, 1994 then why is does it work with the P-51 but the P-47 just says "No GPS Posit". It's not a deal breaker but it does seem inconsistent. Any thoughts or recommendations?

Worked like a charm! Thanks for the great assistance

That will work! I'll try that tonight guys. Much appreciated!

You are spot on Rudel but my issue is I want to make screenshots of the P-47D-30 specific vs the P47D-40 specific controls (I am just starting the P-47D after a years long affair with the jets). I find it easier to figure out sensible HOTAS mappings with these printouts. I did try the UI route but no joy (the newly UI assigned screenshot keypress doesn't show in any of my modules). Unfortunately DCS wants to detect my keypress and direct me to its assigned command. I end up in a loop of bringing up the control listing then pressing "print screen" only to be shown the "print screen" control assignment and no screenshot of the module controls section I was attempting to capture. It's a bit frustrating but certainly no a game killer. Interestingly enough, in the past I was able to take print screens in this manner while flying the A-10C and FA-18D. This is a relatively recent development (at least for me). If you can help, great. If not, I truly appreciate your response above. Many thanks!

Same problem here. What's going on. Pls help!

Thanks pete_auau. I am using the sa page and am able to find and link up with the tanker. Chain_1, I thought the X channel strange in this mission because I spent a lot of time in the A-10C module and A2A Tacan always (as I remember) used the Y channel. Nonetheless, I spent a solid week trying to figure this out on my own before coming here for much needed assistance. Thanks guys!

Ok, so if the AA mode can't be selected currently what do you do if the tanker TACAN code is the same as a nearby airfield. I am running into this in the 3rd mission of Eastern Friendship. The tanker TACAN is 31X but so is Senaki Air Base so the TACAN always defaults to Senaki and never the tanker. Any thoughts?

Problem solved. For whatever reason "flir_texture.dds to DCS\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\IndicationResources\MDG\" was NOT copied. The original DCS file was still listed. A manual copy and paste from your zip file did the trick. Great, great, great mod! Installation, however, needed significant rework. Thanks for your hard work on this. It has made TGP, in particular, much more user friendly! Good hunting! Radial Madness

Hi Harker, I want to use this mod badly but seem to be having issues with the latest DCS "stable" version recognizing your work! Using your zip file "FA-18C_LCD_MDIs.Zip, I extract "FA-18C Hornet LCD MDIs by Harker" into my Username\Saved Games\DCS\Liveries folder. I then extract the "Mods" folder into the DCS World\_Mods folder for OvGME activation. I am able to activate the "Mods" in OvGME but launching DCS and checking Options/Special/Custom Cockpit only shows the default cockpit as an option. Launching a mission shows the standard green MDIs. I've spent hours on this to no avail and I'm not unfamiliar with mod installation. Ay suggestions? This looks great! Thanks in advance. Radial Madness

Well no response for a week and I decided to take matters in my own hands (I must say I am a bit disappointed in the support on this). In order to get the campaign moving again I created a new entry to the logbook.lua (after backing up the original of course) that looks like this: [46] = { ["datetime"] = "Mon Mar 21 16:01:49 2022", ["agKills"] = 0, ["aaKills"] = 0, ["result"] = 0, ["deathsCount"] = 0, ["stage"] = 11, ["mission"] = "CI_10_v2.miz", }, -- end of [46] This enabled the campaign to move on to mission 10 (It shows mission 10 as a failure in the campaign summary screen but now allows it to be the active mission). For any users that find themselves in a similar situation, I hope this will help you to continue your progression.

As the title says, I have completed Mission 09 Warmonger successfully but the campaign is stuck and will not progress. Here is the latest entry from logbook.lua: [45] = { ["datetime"] = "Thu Mar 17 14:36:18 2022", ["aaKills"] = 0, ["agKills"] = 0, ["stage"] = 10, ["skipped"] = true, ["deathsCount"] = 0, ["result"] = 100, ["mission"] = "CI_09_v2.miz", }, -- end of [45] Any help to move this forward is greatly appreciated. I have been enjoying this campaign immensely! Thanks!

LOL! I noticed that right away and thought "WTF, why are all the switches in different positions"? I'm really not complaining, however, since the effort that has gone into A-10C II has shown ED's dedication to the Hawg without trashing v1.0. I am truly grateful!

Ok, see that they moved the Mav button over to the left MFD. I assume this is due in part to the A-10C II cockpit upgrade. I had hoped it wouldn't affect the original. What other surprises await?! Cheers!

As the title says after this last DCS update the MAV page is unavailable in the MFD. It's simply not listed. TGP, CDU, STAT & MSG are there but NO Mav! I tried a DCS repair but no joy. The problem exists for instant action, missions and campaigns. Forum and Google searches haven't listed anything so am I unique? Any guidance is appreciated.

The first attachment is from a recent A-10C II video on YouTube. The second attachment is a screenshot from my PC. Close inspection reveals little difference. I'm suspecting that my perception of higher resolution on recent YouTube videos has more to do with wearing progressive lenses than with resolution differences. YouTube videos force a lense wearer to adjust head angle for optimum focus. In game, however, the head angle is constantly shifting, hence slight blurring when the angle is not optimal. Many thanks to all who replied and inspired me to make an apples to apples check. Cheers!

Bossco, I agree that I cannot expect to see the same sharpness in game as a higher res monitor. However, my question is why do I see sharper cockpit detail in some YouTube DCS videos than in game? I would expect the YouTube videos to look no better than my in game experience. It's as if I am getting 1440p detail on a 1080p screen. Unexpected and maybe unsolvable. Thanks for the reply. It is appreciated.

I currently use a Samsung 32 inch LCD TV as my monitor (1920 X 1080) and it has worked well for a couple of years now with DCS. I notice, however, that certain YouTube videos on DCS A-10C show significantly sharper detail than I see in game. My question is: If I see higher resolution in YouTube than in game how is this possible? Is there an in game setting that is integral to optimizing resolution? My system specs are: Intel I7-8700K Windows 10 Pro 64 (48GB RAM) Nvidia GTX-1080 (8GB VRAM) It seems logical that the resolution I see in YouTube should be achievable in game. Any insights are appreciated!

Sorry for the late reply. No, I could never get the AI to assist and there are too many targets (well obstructed too) for my single aircraft. I hope you had better luck than me!

Anyone?

Deleted shader cache and it improved NVGs enough to complete the mission. Thanks Squid and Puma for your assistance.

Disabling the mod was unsuccessful so I will try deleting the shader cache next.

Hey Squid, Yes, I have adjusted the NVG gain down as far as possible but no joy. I watched your video out of curiosity and the lightning strikes are clear and not blurred and overly bright blobs like I see. Since you are seeing what others have posted on YouTube videos it has to be my setup. Thinking about it and realizing that the gain adjustment is all I can change in game, I remembered that I installed "Tacca's DCS 2.5 NVG Mod" awhile back and this may be what is causing the issue. I will uninstall it and report back. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond in such detail!

I'm trying to complete mission 4 in Stone Shield (night time mission providing CAS to Spec Ops troops). The Spec Ops come under attack at one point after picking up a high value target. They call for support and when I roll in with NVGs enabled, the glare from the enemy tracers is blinding and makes accurate gun targeting impossible. I have lowered the NVG brightness to the absolute minimum but to no effect. The glare remains insurmountable. Is there a DCS setting that I am missing because I have seen YouTube videos of this mission and the glare problem is pretty mild and the NVGs were not set to minimum brightness. Any help is appreciated.

Was tooling around with Mission 2 and used a custom loadout. Dropped the bridge (yes, the right one!) and never received the mission success notification and the BA report showed a score of 50. Using the default loadout I dropped the bridge and was given a mission success. Am I correct in assuming that weapon changes are not allowed in the mission planner?

Hey Emmy, 1. So I am learning! 2. Yes, I directed them to attack from the South but a Southeastern attack may avoid intersecting the road while lining up to attack. Thanks for the idea!
