I just had my Warthog trimhat snap off. Does anyone know where these parts are sold?

My TM warthog trim hat broke off and I just need another switch. I have done work on my stick before and can replace the switch. Do you sell trim hat?

Hmmph....Good to know.

Hey ChillNG, I was flying mission 4 and hit the main targets using the TGP and markpoints. Then I looked for more targets and when the SA-6 popped up I cursored over to it on the HADS page and TMS up but it did not lock the target. Tried a few times, but it would not lock on. This has happened in Part 2 of Mission 9 FIWOS and I had to restart the mission to get it to work. Do you know what the problem could be?

FINALLY!!!! The wingman did his job this time. I kept it high looking through the breaks in the clouds. I had the wingman fire a HARM at the SA-6 on the way in. He said that it went dark and thought it shutdown. So I knew I needed to keep a CBU. Got done with my runs on the stationary targets and turned my attention to the SA-6. I over flew the area a few times and could not get it to turn on. So I went below the clouds and found that it was dead. The HARM shot got it. It's one of the most challenging missions I have flown. The clouds really complicate things. Thanks for your help. Sorry I was so whiny.

Well, I flew the mission once again and got all three stationary targets. I ignored the SA-6 going in and just concentrated on my stationary targets. I bombed the airbase SA-2 thinking I didn't hit it because my wingman did not say anything. But when I dropped on it again, I say that I did hit it the first time. So that meant I had no bombs left. The SA-6 popped up again and I told my wingman to hit with HARMs. But he did nothing. I repeatedly told my wingman to hit the SA-6, again nothing. So I had to go in and attempt to strafe it, but crashed. I am beyond frustrated with this mission.

Hey thanks, I'll try that and let you know how it goes.

I dropped on steerpoint 9 making sure the TGP cued over to it and then TMS up. But the bomb fell a good mile short. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Background: When the SA-6 appears during the initial sweep. I went below the clouds and got a TGP fix on it. Then I asked the wingman to take a HARM shot. When the SA-6 shutdown, I rushed in and dropped on it. Somehow, I didn't hit. Anyway, I un-designated the SA-6 on the HAD screen with TMS down. Selected Steerpoint 9, but the target designator box in the HUD wasn't even close to Steerpoint 9. I backed off to Steerpoint 8 then back on to Steerpoint 9 again. This time it seemed to appear to be on Steerpoint 9, but the clouds make this impossible to verify. I run in and drop the bomb and it is nowhere close. I am getting frustrated with investing so much time to get there and coming up short on the SA-2 drops. How do I verify that the bomb is targeted on the Steerpoint?

I know in Mission 3 there are (2) stationary SA-2 sites that I can drop on through the clouds. However, when I selected the steerpoint and dropped the bomb, it hit nowhere near the intended target. I had a break in the clouds for one of them and was able to get the TGP on it and made a successful drop on that site. I went below the clouds to acquire the second SA-2. Bad idea; I got jumped by an SA-8 and didn't survive. My question is: Can I drop on a steerpoint or do I have to make it a Markpoint to get SOI?

No, it doesn't suck. Now that I found the issue and can actually enjoy flying without seeing every frame, the CPU and GPU I have now at max settings (4K, max everything) are just jogging (75% max) during DCS missions. ED, bring it on. I'm ready.

I found the issue in GeForce Experience. In the System Tab, there is a Hz setting for the monitor. The Monitor Refresh rate was set to 30 Hz, thus the GPU was capped at 30 FPS; makes sense. I set it to my monitor refresh rate and buttery smoothness returned!!

I recently built another rig to replace the old one. The old one ran great no problems, I just wanted to upgrade. However, Since I have ran DCS with the new rig, the GPU (the same GPU from the old rig) is only producing 30 FPS making game play less than the buttery smoothness that it was. Here is my old/new system specs: OLD SYSTEM AMD 5950X CPU, MSI Ventus 3 4080 OC GPU, Aorus Elite X570 Mobo, 32GB RAM, 4TB Samsung EVO 990 (DCS drive), Running DCS in 4K at max settings, Track IR 5 NEW SYSTEM AMD 7800X3D CPU, same GPU from old system, MSI X670E MPG Carbon Mobo, 32 GB RAM, Same drive from old system, Running DCS in 4K at max settings, Track IR 5 Things I have tried to improve my FPS: 1. Went into settings of GeForce Experience and increased the FPS slide to 120PFS 2. Checked the FPS slider in DCS (120). I surmise this is a software problem and not a hardware. Does anyone have a suggestion about what my problem is and what I can do to improve myu FPS?

Perfect!! This will work great for target list situations. Thanks!!!

I know how to set a Steerpoint using LAT/LONG. How would I set a Steerpoint/WP/Markpoint using bearing and range from Bullseye?

I have been flying a SEAD campaign in which a ground target (SAM emitter) is called out as "224 for 26", for example. Now I could simply use the HAD page to cursor over to the displayed target (coordinates are shown on the lower portion of the page) and designate the target once it has detected the emitter and triangulates its relative position. The TGP would follow and, if dropping a bomb, I would fine tune the location and designate thru the TGP for the drop. Easy enough. Of course, the emitter is active and that can be a problem in of itself. However, what if I am given a target list of confirmed target locations but they are not emitting and I want to hit them before they can go active? Currently I use the HAD page and cursor over to the coordinates and find the relative location to the target from me or a Steerpoint. Then I go the TGP page and make it SOI, then flip over the HSD and move the TGP cursor to the relative location and attempt to find the target from there. However, I don't see similar coordinates to the HAD page on the HSD page have to go to the relative location from memory and hope to find the target. Is there a way to show the HAD page coordinates "224 26", for example, on the HSD so I can (at least for known target locations) cursor over to the coordinates and then flip over to the TGP and be very close to the target location?
