I'd sure love to see that fix now, as we approach October, EA. I am in the exact same situation as Jascha was in June.
They haven't even put wheel chocks in for the A10 yet (among other aircraft) - getting someone to fix the training mission might require paperwork to appointed leaders..... Not sure. But until then, the fix I described previously in this thread does work. Inconvenient, but it does work. Good luck!

Here's is the sad part folks......
Original request is now 2 years old - and they haven't managed to figure out how to put wheel chocks in for the A10.......... Mind boggling stuff isn't it...... smh

Making a return to the forums after 6 to 9 months of real world tasking, and...................................................
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP.
Would still love to see this (or at least see an update from an ED dev/mod) added.
PS. Great to hear the change to the A10's engine after getting DCS up to the most current OB version. Having a play with all the new toys for the Viper and seeing all the work that has been done over those past 6 to 9 months. Great job, looking forward to seeing what else is incoming.

@Ziptie Thank you for the response. I fiddled with it for a bit switching MAV on/off, changing to different pages to no avail. Having said that, I will check out the post you mentioned.
DEFNITELY understood their plates are full, for sure! Look at all the amazing stuff being put out. Minor pains and/or glitches along the way are expected and surely are not going to detract me from DCS. A lot of tone gets lost in text unfortunately and after re-reading my own post, it could be read as a gripe, far from it!
And yes, it is unrealistic to hope anyone is going to spend time going back through old missions to ensure bugs are out, that is a bit of a pipe dream...that was a 'in a perfect world' comment.
Press and hold on the OSB that is highlighted (where the MAV would be displayed after the "swap" would have been performed).
Then select MAV as the display that you want in that place. Voila, you are good to go and can proceed through the training mission. That is the short and sweet version. I think you are also asked to display the TGP on the opposing page, which can be done by the same method (press and hold OSB, select appropriate sensor to display, etc).I spent a short time looking for the other thread, gave up - figured it would be the least I could do, to give a basic rundown in case you might have been unaware that you can actually "customize" each MFD to display what you want it to.

Somewhat related (adjacently). For new pilots, the following will be an impact. I tried to fly the A-10C Maverick training mission and after powering up the Maverick EO timer instructions, the tutorial directs you to press OSB 14 on right MFCD to bring up the MAV page; however, due to the lack of swap functionality (MAV is only in left MFCD now), you can no longer progress the training. Granted this is more a mission design update; however, the above mentioned issue has downstream impacts that have not yet been accounted for in some mission development. I would recommend ED update their tutorial missions and callout these type of changes to mission makers as inability to carry out specifically identified tasks will break older missions...and by proxy, the immersion DCS is revered for.
It is the unfortunate side effect and impact of open architecture and design...it takes more effort to go back an update old to ensure it works with new; just like with the ArmA series. The flexibility comes at a cost...but man it is so worth it when it is done right!!! Hats off to you ED and all the third party developers! You have created an amazing capability!
You can progress progress, you simply need to put the MAV display on correct MFD. No, it isn’t “fluid” now with the correct HOTAS implementations being reflected in DCS - but you absolutely can progress and complete. I posted the steps to do this, in another thread bringing this issue up. Yes, it would be great if they update the training mission, but they’ve got plenty of their plate at the moment and undoubtedly this is a low priority item for their team.

Yup, mouse wheel scroll works on rotary knobs for me in the Hornet as well.

Hello,
The Swap function (Coolie short down) which allows to exchange the contents of the left and right MFCDs doesn’t work in the A10C II. I tested this function also with the normal A10C without any problems.
Best regards
As another stated, this is no longer a realistic function. Coolie switch aft/down is how you SOI HMCS.Cheers,

Also a big THANK YOU!
I had the same issue (although my "border" was blue).Your modification of line in the .lua file worked for me. Guessing they will fix this in the future. Clouds are still very jittery for me, but baby steps I suppose. I'm sure they'll all be fixed when I get back in a few months.

Hi BIGNEWY,
This might be off the topic but your FPS is really good! And it's in 2.7 with new clouds? WOW!
Could you please share your spec?

I did not know that, thanks for the tip! I am generally less familiar with the Hornet than the Viper, and I find it kind of awkward to use the Hornet OSBs for things the Viper HOTAS can do. I guess there are some hidden conveniences.

Maybe this could be of use to one or both of you.

I think this was the thread and post that helped with the HUD marker or SPI:
Oh, well if you sorted it out then I won't bother running the mission again. I just briefly scanned the link you attached - and for sure, if range is too far out when trying to created a SPI via HUD, it is invalid. When slewing the TDC with HUD SOI, you can tell if the computer is able to compute a slant range, as it will have an 'x' inside mark or not. If there is an 'x' in the middle, it is an invalid computation.

Yes. There's another forum thread with people stuck there also.
The tutorial requires the user to successfully create a mark point THEN explains the circumstances where it will or won't work.
Since the tutorial does not know exactly where the aircraft and HUD are facing when asked to create the point in the HUD tutorial indicator, it can be in an invalid position, causing confusion.
Ah. Think I created a mark point via the HMCS at that point - but don't recall. Last time I tried the mission, was when I created the message in this thread giving the step(s) to get past where people were getting stuck initially. The next time I am able to fly, I'll give this mission a quick go again and see if I can provide any additional help/guidance for the issue you are disclosing.

Another later point of confusion for players is when asked to mark a point. If the HUD point is closer to horizon, it won't mark. AFTER successfully marking a nearer point, the next tutorial text message tells the player that distant points can't be marked!
Eh? I'm not tracking with that.....
Are you talking about creating a mark point?
Glad you were able to get past the "hang up point" until they sort out their training mission change(s).

I have multiple documentation from block 15 mlu from the USAF which is supposed to be similar to block 50.
And there is your problem.

I tried linking those to my joystick but whole cockpit view zooms in/out. Im trying to zoom the HUD screen when I have FLIR selected instead of having to use the up down arrow keys on the r ddi. Any ideas?
The FLIR isn't displayed on the HUD. It is displayed on a DDI (MFD). I believe this is where you are getting mixed answers from some.
When FLIR has TDC priority, the radar antenna elevation is used to zoom in and zoom out. Whatever key bind that you have set for radar antenna elevation control, is what will change the zoom on the FLIR display. Also, RAID/FLIRFOV will change the FLIR from narrow to wide field of view, when TDC priority is assigned to FLIR.

Like this one??
EDIT:
Thought this a comparison of the XSAF server - to another. Disregard, looks like it could be a fun SP campaign.

As posted elsewhere, I'd like to see access to fixing retention time for laser code in use. It currently appears the system requires manual entry on a per-weapon basis? Once you've fired both Mavericks, for example, you have to reenter the codes if you're using unlimited weapons in practice sessions.
Definitely the wrong forum for this "request" - but if you are already utilizing the unlimited weapons "feature (cheat)" - the least you can do is reenter the codes. It doesn't really take that long, and is something you should practice anyways - for once you step up to not using unlimited weapons, as you are required to do it upon rearming anyways.....

v3 AI has been introduced - and oh boy, sets the bar even higher. Well done Pravus, well done. Big thanks to all our community members, for assisting with the testing to flesh out any of the hiccups along the way. Team work, couldn't ask for more.

does anyone knows good multiplayer using the Syria map ?
We use Syria map (will be having a Caucasus variant again, once 2.7 drops).
Give our mission a look. Be advised - this server is unlike any other out there, and it is imperative that you understand the premise of the mission (limited resources) - which is all covered in the rules, mission overview and mission features channels of our Discord server. Don't let it be an intimidation, if it is (for some it can be) - just keep it in mind.

Yes, I need to have the TGP locked-on and the SPI set miles out or my chances of missing are 110%.
Have you tried employing on an attack run of this type - with your HUD SOI, slew the TDC over your target visually, TMS forward long (SPI should read IFFCC). It's more "old school" than TGP SPI - but allows for quick attack runs, especially of this type (at least it does for me). It's not as precise as TGP SPI, but close enough for an attack profile of this type. Anyways, figured I'd throw that out there - might be a new tactic for you to try/practice. (Of course, you can also use the HMCS to quickly slew the TGP to your ground target and adjust it).

This is still not fixed in the Open Beta at time of writing. Got stuck today playing Mav tutorial for the first time.
You cannot get "stuck" - if you follow my advice above. The training mission isn't "as intended" with the changes to HOTAS commands, but you can still complete it, just see:
Literally a handful of posts from above......

As others have pointed out already you can cycle your Profiles using the SEL Rocker switch on the UFC. Works as long as you are not in the Gun Master Mode.
Indeed, I just prefer to keep my "HOTAS." The OP might prefer that method though, who knows.

Did you look in the manual?
If I remember correctly, there should be a chapter dedicated to the hotas, with some images ...
Maybe this is what you were/are looking for - or is close enough to get you pointed in the correct direction...?
Neither of these are my documents, and I do not own them. All credit goes to the creators of these, not me.
