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

Also, is there a keystroke/binding that causes a player's aircraft to turn into an AI controlled aircraft? I ask in case I am unknowingly hitting a keystroke that would command that. My pickle button is set to [right alt][space] Would that command the transformation? ALthough I have been using this keystroke for years and it only started happening a week or two ago. Thanks! v6, boNes

The trackfile is 84 MB which is over the 5 MB limit. How else can I send it to you?

Track that I think have it attached. Also here is the log (attached) extracted from the server from when I pickled the cbu until I rejoined the game in a new aircraft. Thanks! v6, boNes bones-crash log snippet.txt

I tried to get a trackfile but no go. Can you advise where to look to make sure I am looking in the right place? This only happens in a MP mission--is it possible to get a trackfile from a MP mission? If not I can show you video or send you the mission itself. v6, boNes

I once turned the oxygen off while on deck and it started showing me hypoxia. That was odd, I thought. v6, boNes

Please see this thread for what I think may be a bug: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=268884 Thanks, boNes
