I can't get the fingerlifts to work as the CPG. I have pilot and CPG configured the same. My axis is power levers (both), special options fingerlifts enabled, and fingerlifts (both) up/down count to RCtl-PageUp. In the pilot seat while holding RCntl-PageUp I can move the levers freely beyond fly. In the CPG seat doing the same thing I can't.

It works kinda funny. The slider represents internal fuel so during refueling fuel will flow into or out of the external tanks as long as fuel is being put internal. But this may or may not result in full external tanks especially if only loading a small amount of fuel to internal space.

You want to save the 13th (or 14th if VR) snapview in \Saved Games\DCS\Config\View\SnapViews.lua. As it comes out of the box DCSW does not have the Options>Misc>User Snap-View Saving enabled. Enable it. SnapViews.lua won't exist until you save the first one. So one might save to custom slot #9 by pressing LWin-Num9, then adjust view with keyboard keys as desired, then press RAlt-Num0 to save cockpit angles. Do this without TrackIR, VR, or other head tracking device. Don't worry about which slot. We're only using it to get the numbers. That should write to the file SnapViews.lua and have the following lines. [10] = {--LWin + Num9 : Snap View 9 viewAngle = 63.000000,--FOV hAngle = 0.000000, vAngle = -7.000000, x_trans = 0.021000, y_trans = 0.083000, z_trans = 0.000000, rollAngle = 0.000000, cockpit_version = 0, Search for "F-16C_50" to find the section that applies to the F-16. The file can be viewed with any text editor like Notepad. Then look down a bit to see section [13]. Copy the numbers lines (viewAngle, hAngle, ...rollAngle) from the area in [10] to [13] and/or [14] if you use VR. viewAngle is how much zoomed in you are with smaller numbers being more zoomed. Save the file and reload the cockpit (leave back to menu and then join an F-16 again). The changes should apply as the default view.

I believe every single DCS screenshot of configurations by Hardcard on the previous page are not allowed by the USAF.

CAQ box, cursor over location, enter. I believe that's a way.

There was. The A-10 can be set to kilometers too.

All the SA-# (where # is a number) are represented by just the numbers. SA-2 = 2, SA-3 = 3, etc. I don't know about threats that don't conform to the NATO designation scheme.

The distance to any airborne target should be shown on the HUD, right side in text, e.g. F022.0. This should be the case in NAV master mode as well. That info box shows the priority sensor slant range which in all cases I can think of would be the A2A sensor when it has an A2A target of interest.

Weapons which are turned on (Maverick, HARM, WCMD, JDAM, etc.) remain turned on and operating even when not selected. If those items are repeating an alignment when reselected then that's a bug.

The kneeboard code is a "policy" and this policy is applied to all weapons including those currently mounted. Changing these would be unrealistic. There isn't a separate policy for weapons-yet-to-be-added. Realistically if you asked for armament that was beyond fuel and A2A missiles with the airplane running it would tell you unable. I think based on the new images of the stores configuration feature that the armament screen will have per-store configuration (fuze, laser code, etc.) which will render the kneeboard policy entries of all modules obsolete. I doubt there will be further development for kneeboard options for items which this new feature will handle better.

It's very nice. There is much to learn.

Apparently codes entered with TGP format showing off are rejected, after off but before timeout are stored (DED shows 0 but applies as soon as timeout), and after timeout is immediate. I don't know if that's accurate or not but it's perfectly reasonable and usable. The only potential bug I see is that TGP is not working on ground power. The only reason I could see for TGP to be special inhibited without engine turning is if TGP cooling was somehow linked to ECS or other cooling that wouldn't be operating with ground power. Electrically there's nothing different between ground or onboard power.

All I can find is that you'll get battery fault messages on the EUFD.

In the editor there are four options, aircraft control priority: pilot, CPG, ask always, equally responsible. This determines which requests require the other user to agree or not. A user with priority is never asked, their requests are completed immediately. The options are priority: user1, user2, neither, both in that order. I don't know if it makes a difference but it's possible that if the user still alive has to respond to the request may prevent control. But it may not help. It might be the case that the user1 is the master of the aircraft and when he dies the unit is considered dead.

My understanding is that no rocket motor type jettison is possible through the SMS/S-J process. HARM may have some kind of "non compromise launch" but that isn't a jettison. Every other rocket ordnance (Hydra, Maverick, AIM-9, AIM-120, JASSM, Penguin, etc.) has no selective jettison by rocket motor ability.

Probably INS. The way I check is by verbally confirming the .XXX fractions of a minute of a coordinate. "I sent .689, right on the road intersection!" "I got .689 but mine is not on the intersection." Then you can evaluate why they don't match by comparing to each other and to a known position. And be aware it may be possible to send SPI or STPT and those may be different with some cursor deltas. When unsure and practical, CZ to remove all cursor deltas to ensure your SPI and STPT are the same place. Otherwise do some checks with different sensors and SOIs to see which one is being transmitted.

It seems not, but the comm panel was an area of further improvement mentioned during the first version release so I imagine it will receive attention quite soon.

The switches should be neither up nor down. They should be spring-loaded buttons and it's up to the avionics to remember their state (* on EUFD). This allows both crew to have control over the squelch option without a confusing physical switch state mismatch.

Fully-articulated only means that the blades are free to move in 3 axes: lead-lag, flap, and twist. The hydraulic control at zero rotor RPM should only twist the blades. Any movement in the other two axes is only due to other forces like aerodynamic ones which are no present at zero RPM. Each blade is only connected to the swashplate by actuator rods. Increasing collective or changing cyclic is the same thing as far an individual blade is concerned. But you see in DCS that collective increase twists the blade without flap while cyclic motion of the same rod in the same way results in the blade flapping. I cannot find the physical mechanism that would cause the blade root to behave differently with the same rod movement.

I have tried to deploy SFW ahead of a moving column and it's very difficult to be accurate in leading the targets. There are too many variables: weapon TOF, target speed, time between SUU burst and BLU-108 weapon dispense, etc. The trajectory of the canister passing the HOF plane makes a big difference how long before the skeets are dispensed.

A modifier must be held down to have an effect. A switch is a toggle on/off. E.g. shift and caps lock.

On certain EW modes with the option "REQ JAM" option on. It's a prompt for pilot to turn on jammer.

The parking brake does not behave exactly as you describe. If the pedals work like a Cessna or a P-51 then it's not quite there yet. In those airplanes the parking brake handle always comes out when pulled but whether it falls back in or not depends on how far the pedals are depressed. Also pressing the pedals past the grip point will cause the handle to fall down on its own (often to the annoyance of the owner).
