Yeah I tried that and it didn't work... v6, boNes

Anyone know how to switch cockpits in MP? I've tried doing a search for it, and looking through the controls list (don't even know what keyword to search for) and just can't find it. v6, boNes

Wouldn't you have to have DL targets on your own radar as well in order to lock them? Otherwise all you can do is hook them. Also, if you happen to use VAICOM Pro, and you see that datalink target at a low altitude while you are at a high one, you can tell Jester, for example, "Scan sector angels 5 for 40" and he will set the radar accordingly to scan where you saw the DL target. v6, boNes

How do you switch seats in MP? I thought maybe pressing 1 or 2 but nothing. v6, boNes

Thanks, I tried that and it did at least make her more manageable. I think for good measure I also hit the pinky switch a few times. v6, boNes

As in flip the autopilot switch up then down, or hit the pinky switch then hit it again? v6, boNes

OK, thanks, glad I'm not crazy then... v6, boNes

IN the last few days, my Tomcat will suddenly have a tendency to roll to the right, even with hands off the stick. I hit Right Ctrl Enter and the scale there shows the stick dead center but the Tomcat still rolls right. If I let it roll, it will actually do a full barrel roll--that much roll! Switching to the Hornet, nothing like that happens. A friend of mine flew the Tomcat on his rig and he experienced the same thing, but the roll was to the left. And his Hornet was fine. We both checked our flaps etc and nothing was out of the ordinary. Anyone else experiencing this? v6, boNes

Never mind. SInce I was following the tutorial, I was expecting George to do my command immediately. So I would be waiting and waiting without advancing the tutorial with the spacebar. But when I did hit the space bar to advance the tutorial, THEN he complied. v6, boNes

See around 3:25 and 12:00 in particular. Thanks. v6, boNes

That track was overwritten since I flew a different mission since, but here is video. See at 3:40 and at 12:00 in particular. Thanks. v6, boNes

I have all the George keybounds for Pilot, CP/G, and George AI. In the 30mm gun training mission, he won't execute any commands. WE are in a hover. I hit CTRL V to bring up the interface, I use WASD to change his altitude, airspeed, and heading. He will acknowledge "Roger, going faster" etc, but he does nothing, he just stays in the hover. Can't figure out why. I watched Wags' video and as soon as Wags gives him a command he does it immediately. Mine doesn't. v6, boNes

I'm doing the 30mm gun training mission in the CP/G seat. I can change altitude airspeed and heading in the George interface, and George will acknowledge, but then he does nothing else. He just stays in a hover. Any ideas why he won't execute the command? v6, boNes

Same v6, boNes

This is true. v6, boNes

And that being the case, well, if the best place to be is at 35,000+ feet to fire a Phoenix and it runs out of juice because the target is at 10,000 ft, then what is the point of having a Phoenix at all? If I shoot it at 10,000 ft so that it doesn't have to drop down a huge altitude difference, then it is losing energy by being in thicker air/having higher drag. Why not just shoot a Sparrow at around the same altitude and have a higher chance of killing it? oh, if you're shooting at low altitude then get in closer range since the air is thicker. Then again, what is the point of having a Phoenix then? I might as well use a Sparrow. Just seems to me that everytime there is an advantage that the Phoenix is supposed to have it is negated by something, making it just as lethal and effective as a Sparrow or AMRAAM, if not worse, so I don't really see the point of carrying a Phoenix then. Shoot it at high altitude...but then it doesn't have the energy against a low target. OK, shoot at a lower altitude...but then it is in thicker air and doesn't have the energy to hit the target or wastes it in an unnecessary loft. The results always seem to ne to be inconsistent and mediocre, especially when fired under the same conditions. I can shoot at the same conditions as say IronMike, and the missile will perform differently than from his test, or not perform the same way in my own after repeated tests. It's a bit frustrating. v6, boNes

Hmm. I wonder how these F-4s know these missiles are coming to drag them down low when they didn't go active until a few seconds before. It's almost as if they could see them coming before they even went active. The number to the left of the up/dopwn arrow is what? And to the right of it is mach number? v6, boNes

How about this? 6 shots of AIM-54C Phoenix at 40,000 ft at F-4s ranging from 20000 to 35000 ft launched at about mach .95, head on with valid locks in TWS-A, range about 44 nm. Only 2 hit. What went wrong? v6, boNes Tacview-20220315-143310-DCS-Six-shooter KB.zip.acmi

I think you can have it execute a keystoke in the profiler (see attached) but I've never used it or had to. v6, boNes

Yes, PH was selected. I just would like for him to hook a target, DL or otherwise, and have the target info show up so I know what I'm up against and he doesn't always. v6, boNes

Haha...I should add that I'm using VAICOM Pro. v6, boNes

Yup I think that is what it is...Jester using TCS. Thanks, wasn't aware that he does that. As for changing/adding target priority, now that I think about it, I think that was something I was able to do on...ahem... Fleet Defender....haha v6, boNes

Yes I find also that between the Forrestal and a Super Carrier, the sight picture is very different, so it takers some getting used to. Also the deck of the Forrestal seems darker and so it's more difficult to see details on it such as centerline. So yes, it takes some getting used to. But you'll get there. v6, boNes

Any updates on this? Iceman is basically useless ATM. v6, boNes
