So if you are told expected push time 44. time now 32, does that mean you can expect clearance to leave Marshall when it is 44 minuts past the hour and right now it is 32 minutes past the hour? How does that go? Thanks! v6, boNes

Yeah it won't list in MP since there is no debrief screen. Quick and dirty solution so far is screenshoot it before it disappears or video it! v6, boNes

From what I understand, the squadron is assigned a Marshall altitude. Of course I don't see that happening here so I think it's not finished yet. BUt I've found in the instant action F-14 missions anyway, that if you choose 2000 for Marshall, everything seems fine. When flying the Marshall around the post though, I've never had to fly the enitre poistion from 1 through 4. When I approach 1, my plane calls overhead angels 2, etc and they give me signal charlie off the bat. So I fly position 2 then 3 before I descend and get ready to enter the intitial (since descents are done between positions 2 and 4). Anyone ever have to fly all 4 positions? v6, boNes

I never see the bald LSO guy. Hitting lalt-c doesn't do anything Is there a function for making the LSO screen full screen? v6, boNes

In MP I was able to get An LSO on the Stennis just no Supercarrier eye candy. But the ball and the LSO were working I found the missions in the Hornet mission section, more toward the bottom nestled in. v6, boNes

I just did the stock F-14 case I Caucuses mission a few times. When in air start, I immediately called ATC>cvn74>inbound and there was no response. I flew it anyway and heard from no one but when I rolled into the groove the IFLOS came up on the left side of the screen and I trapped. Only then did I hear from anyone which was a text message with my grade, no grade—no comms. Tried again same thing, got a trap grade though. How come I can’t raise anyone on the radio? Also, are the elevators working? I taxied to the aft eland parked but nothing happens. I took a nice camera tour of the hangar deck though. I also noticed that there were no stock Supercarrier missions for the Hornet. v6, boNes

And when you are in MP without a human RIO, you can't jump in the back to IFF so yes it would be nice if he'd do his friggin job!!!! HAha. v6, boNes

Yeah from what I've seen the VDI seems to be the most reliable. I find it interesting since the RIO does most of the navigating that he has no control over the OBS to select the course for the TACAN or WP or anything in his HSI repeater. v6, boNes

I re-verified yesterday and not only does it seem to be fixed, but the stick also has a tiny stick perpendicular to it that shows which direction the target is trending, which I thought was pretty neat! v6, boNes

To help them, land? You mean in general? Because I was talking about steering for keeping Phoenix targets within the radar scan. v6, boNes

OK, thanks! Which one should I follow for now? VDI or HUD? v6, boNes

So when you are in TWS-A and you are supposed to steer the T so that it is centered. I've noticed that if I have it centered in the VDI, in the HUD it is not centered. It is usually off to one side. So why is that and which center T should you go with? This is with barely any maneuvering as well, but I would think the HUD and the VDI would show the T in the same place, right? v6, boNes

I have noticed no change in the condition... v6, boNes

And in my particular case, I had fired off the first Mav, and the next one refused to uncage or fire. v6, boNes PS Hi Grif!

So we were flying MP last night adn me and my wingman both noticed that the Mavericks wouldn't uncage. In my case, I got the first Maverick to fire fine, but when I went to target another target with the 2nd Maverick right afterwards, it refused to uncage. I was set to AG mode, had the TDC diamond in the Maverick screen, but everytime I hit uncage, the screen still said CAGED. My wingman had the same problem. He's not sure but he things that when he changed to AA then back to AG it worked OK after that, but he can't confirm it. We did land and swap out our GBUs for Mavs before going on this mission, so he thinks maybe the ground crew armed it wrong? Like if we move anything while they are arming it messes it up? Any ideas? Also , we both tuned in an ADF. I heard the Morse code but never saw the circle icon in the HSI compass rose as usual. He was tuned in the same way but he could see the circle. Anyone know what's up with that? Thanks! v6, boNes

To all, Thanks to Discwalker I think the problem is solved. RIGHT ALT J changes you into AI and back. My pickle button is set to RIGHT ALT SPACE but my PTT button for TeamSpeak is J. SO if I pickle and call Magnum fast enough, I interrupt my pickle command with PTT causing it to emulate the keystroke RIGHT ALT J--and I get kicked out. I tested it a few times and verified this, so I think the problem is solved. Thanks! v6, boNes

When you are in TWS mode, in the MFD in the upper right corner where the range used to be, there are some numbers, usually two digit. What does that represent? Also, if you wanted to drop all the L&S and DT2 targets (for instance, because a friendly was accidentally designated), what is the best way to do that? I hit undesignate but of course it cycles the contacts then. Finally, if you have your JHMCS on and want to go back to RWS, what's the quickest way to do it? So far it seems just hitting the mode button for RWS is the only way... Thanks. v6, boNes

This happened to me again in MP but this time I fired a Sidewinder and after a few seconds of watching it, I got transformed to an AI in external view again. I have a trackfile, how do I get it to you? Thanks! v6, boNes

It appears to be working again. v6, boNes

I did a file integrity check (Steam) and a reboot and still no MP, problem presents itself the same way I first described. I also noticed that my keybinds for joystick buttons were gone. Keyboard emulated ones were fine though. v6, boNes

I was able to go online and fly MP at 0400 CDT and it was fine. BUt at 1200 CDT it was no go all of a sudden. when i start DCS (Steam version) and get prompted for my login and password on the main menu and click the login button, nothing happens. The login and password prompts stay up. I have to click the X to close it to do anything. Click on mulitplayer after that and the list of servers is empty. No error messages. I also ask because my buddy was able to login and see the servers. I'm in the US and he's in Canada though, don't know if that makes a difference. v6, boNes

all of a sudden this afternoon (it was fine before that) when i start DCS (Steam version) and get prompted for my login and password on the main menu and click the login button, nothing happens. The login and password prompts stay up. I have to click the X to close it to do anything. Click on mulitplayer after that and the list of servers is empty. I also ask because my buddy was able to login and see the servers. I'm in the US and he's in Canada though, don't know if that makes a difference. Anything up? v6, boNes

Also don't be too embarrassed by the MiG-21. Its flight model is greatly exaggerated in its own favor. But first and foremost in any case, having and maintaining a tally is crucial. v6, boNes

Lately I've noticed that if I set a TACAN the range to it is frozen and sometimes incorrect. One time I was 70 miles from a TACAN and in the HUD it said 4053 miles! Other times it is correct but does not decrease as I fly toward the TACAN. But if I turn it off, then turn it back on, it works fine. Anyone else have this happen? v6, boNes

What is the correct way to use this? As I recall back in the JF-18 days if you have SP PB on, whatever you are doing if you get locked up by a SAM or AAA you can fire the HARM at it without having to select it. In DCS, is this the case? I see that HARM OVERRIDE is highlighted but it doesn't seem o do anything unless I select a HARM and then fire. Same seems to be happen if I press the MFD to turnoff the highlight. What's the right way? Couldn't see anything in the manual (since it is pre release I think) nor Chuck's guide or any searches. v6, boNes
