I know the F/A 18c is a WIP, but I would really like to get some kind of feedback when you are hit by cannons, and missiles. There is absolutely none at the moment. Kind of takes you right out of the realism that they have tried so hard to put in. It is just nothing and you don't even know anything has happened till you realize you aren't in control anymore.

Where can I find the information on reading what is what, I am looking for tower frequencies, might be there, but I don't know what all those terms are, thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)

I set flaps at half, but not sure how to set trim at 16+, and it does pitch up when I come to.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or it is a setting I don't have right, but I black out when launched from the carrier. It is only a second or two but I don't see anyone in the videos I see where they are blacking out.

Was wondering if ED is updating their early access manual as they go and release new updates or are they going to wait and do it all at once? I was looking for thef-18 manual but can't find it.

I have set up a couple of simple missions and my F-18 seems to switch waypoints 5 miles before it gets to the actual waypoint. Is this a bug, or is it supposed to be this way? My Mirage will switch waypoints at 1.5 miles and that's reasonable, but 5.o miles is a bit excessively early. It does this all the time and in some missions, only on the second waypoint and the rest are right at the way point, so I'm not sure what is going on.

updated updater is causing problems I updated my DCS (automatically) but first it updated the updater and now, even though I have internet speeds of 100 MB p/s, the updater downloads a 0.7 MB p/s. after two hours it tells you to try again later. This has happened 5 times already including trying to do a repair. What do I need to do to get an up date and download the latest?

OK, I see them in the training page, but in My Missions page, the module is not listed

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, I got everything downloaded and installed but for some reason there is no F-18c showing in my mission page. If I create a mission, I can put it in, and use it, but for some reason, I can't see the training missions that come with. how do I go about getting them in there? My A-10c and Mirage 2K are there.

I agree, most of the time I end up just ignoring and taking off (after looking both ways). It does ruin the immersion, but at least I can get off the ground and fly!

Went to set up a bombing mission in the Persioan Gulf Map, and the armored column is slower than civilian traffic and the civilian traffic goes right through the armored column. Is there a way to turn off Civilian traffic on just the roads I want to use?

Now that I've downloaded the new map I bought, how do I switch maps? I went to make a new mission to use with the new map, but it came up with the same Caucasus map, I don't see where we can make a choice of maps? :huh:

From what I've read, the off line mode works only for a few days and then periodically checks in with the main company product server to verify licenses. As this is the first time we've gotten a new map and updated versions at the same time, not sure whether this was a server down situation or not, or there are bugs crawling all over the place.

You could try and roll back your system to just before the last update and run a test again, to verify this. just ensure you are set up the same way with no additional apps running in the background that could affect your score. Don't know of any way you can block any particular update or patch for certain, they always nag you and do it behind your back regardless whether you want it or not.

I get upset when I jump into the pit and go to start and it fails, I end up exiting, then come back in and it works??? I will from now on, check the shut down switch first and see if that works.

I don't seem to have a problem with the refuel sounds, although to me it comes on a bit late, but it is there and sounds good. Need to check if the air refuel light comes on, didn't notice it. I can unlock radar locks, although I have two different binds depending on what weapon I'm using.

I was trying to find a reference to how the IFF works in the Mirage, but I couldn't find one, maybe I am searching the wrong thing?

how to set up cameras in DCS I have been watching plenty of good videos and see great shots but I don't know how to set a camera on the ground to get some good action and flyby's, are there any tutorials on doing that, maybe I'm not looking in the right place in the DCS manual?

I bought this plane after deliberately waiting for some time (a year) because I knew it wasn't finished. All the promises and here it still isn't a finished product. Don't think I'm interested in buying something from them because they will always have something else they are working on and they'll get back to finishing up your product you paid for some time in the future.

Did the Mirage 2000c get updated in the new 2.5 release? I am looking forward for the new manual and some of the bugs getting fixed.

Thanks, that helps, I definitely borked that up, I'm still learning!

Was wondering when setting up a mission for training, like air to air and shooting down an aircraft. How do you get the target aircraft to fly a race track route so you can use them as targets, I haven't been able to figure that out, in the mission editor. trying to set up missions in M2000c since there are very few, even in the campaign.

I have to laugh at this whole thread, what is the meaning of this, if any? F-15's are a mechanical construct, they are lifeless and pieces of equipment are worthless if no one of any skill is using it. Tanks get blown up, planes get shot down, and planes crash through errors. end of story. Just flight simmers getting caught up in their own testosterone.

Old guy I'm 66 +, I am old and can't remember but my first PC was around 1990. I flew MSFS for about ten minutes, got bored and then I picked up Falcon and loved blowing things up. I flew Tomcats, and Eurofighters before they were actually built and several others, but Falcon 4 was my favorite. Then life got in the way and I dropped off for a while, I picked up DCS a few years ago and made a comeback but stopped again for a while and now I'm back enjoying something I really like. I had a friend I called "Combat Clardy" ( his name was Bill Clardy) He was a P-51 pilot in WW2 and he would tell me stories about his exploits till he was shot down in france and spent the rest of the war working with the French resistance and calling as Forward Air controller.

Thanks for straightening me out on that, the manual never really made it clear.
