need track replay F-18 Carrier T/O won't stay in Burner
CaptScotty posted a topic in Bugs and Problems
Since last update, when I am getting ready to Pilot Salute, I push throttle full forward and the F-18 Throttle goes full forward and then pulls back to out of burner. My throttle is still full burner. If I pull it back a little it will jump to full burner for a sec and back again. Checked and I don't have burner detent selected. -
Since last update, every time I start a mission I create over a turn point, or fly over point, the gear is extended. I'm at 6000+ feet 240 kias Gear down for some reason. Never had this happen before.

For those using VR, stay away from Windows 11. I switched back to Windows 10 and now I have great graphics!

Any one else having the problem of the A10 C II starts loosing power about 1/2 way thru the mission. I've flown the plane alot. Not till recently have I had the power slowly decay to the point I can't maintain 200 KIAS in Level flight. I pull it back and push it up and it goes to 100% for about 5 secs and then drops to about 80%. I've got the plane loaded heavily but I have never had this problem before. This is on mission I have made up before and it has started doing it. I don't use Auto Throttles, just full power.

I had to redo my computer. When I set up DCS again, I loaded Skins for the aircraft I have. I noticed the F-16 had places for bombs in the mission editor but no pylons showed up. Anyone else having that problem? I haven't had a chance to fly the F-16 and see if it is missing from the aircraft as well as the mission editor.

I've been noticing that many manuals show an instrument and call it a "Turn and Bank Indicator." It is a turn indicator, but it doesn't show bank. It shows if the plane is in "coordinated" flight, meaning that the rudder is in the correct position. If a plane has more drag on one wing than the other, the ball will be off to the side. To correct this, you "Step on the ball" meaning pushing on the rudder on the side that the ball is off to. This cuts the "side slip drag." If you have a 2 engine plane, if you lose one, You center the ball to cut drag to the minimum. It has been called Turn and bank Indicator since I was a USAF flight Instructor in 1971. This may clear some confusion on why you have bank and the "bank indicator" doesn't show any bank. The correct bank indicator is the attitude indicator which has an UP Arrow or sometimes called a Sky Pointer. If you find yourself in an unusual attitude, turn to put the "Sky Indicator" towards the sky. Most real pilots have learned this.

I had a new CLX computer with a i9 10-800KF CPU, 32 gigs of memory and nvidia 3070 card. When I use other airplaces, A10C2, F-18 and others, I have normal screen. When I play the F-16 Training, the screen vibrates as if cutting in and out at a high speed. Doesn't happen with any other Airplane that I've flown. I did install windows 11. Again 10C II flies and fight normally but not the F-16. I can't use it as it gives me a head ache with the vibration. Anyone else having the problem? It happens after a few moments into the Tutorial. Sometimes it's immediately when I enter the Tutorial. No files to attach as it happens immediately.

2x GBU 10s direct hit center deck not sinking Type 071 ATD.
CaptScotty replied to CaptScotty's topic in Weapon Bugs
I just flew a mission with 7 GBU 10s. I dropped 5 at the same time, shacking the Type 071 and only did 38% damage. (Really?) Tacview-20211113-103346-DCS-Take out ships in Harbor.zip.acmi tempMission.miz.rar -
2x GBU 10s direct hit center deck not sinking Type 071 ATD.
CaptScotty posted a topic in Weapon Bugs
I am not sure if it is the weapon or the Type 071 Amphibious Transport Dock. With both the A-10 CII or the F/A-18 when I drop GBU 10s (2000 lb Laser Guided Bombs (LGB)) When it hits on the top deck, mid ship, it does only 10% damage. I've dropped 4 2000 bombs ripple dropped that hit it and the most damage I've seen is 30%. I get almost the same damage when just misses the target. I don't have the tacview for 4 bombs but I have it for 2 direct hits. I've discussed it with a F-15/E pilot and he thought a direct hit midships of 2x 2000 lbs should do more than 30 % damage.

correct as is Sea Radar is not putting me in the ball park
CaptScotty replied to CaptScotty's topic in Bugs and Problems
That might be it. I'm using the TGT Designator not the sensor control switch. Did not know it worked with radar. Both show hits. One is 2 GBU 10s and the other 4 GBU 12s. Not very graceful.

correct as is Sea Radar is not putting me in the ball park
CaptScotty posted a topic in Bugs and Problems
When I am flying the F/A-18 and attacking ships, I use the SEA A/G radar to designate the target. Picks them out very well. When I switch to the targeting pod, it jumps to the target but is not in the ball part. As I get close to the target, I'll use the SEA radar to re-designate the target. Still not in the ball part. Even at lowest zoom on the TGP, I can't see the target. If I don't sue the TGP pod, I always miss with Laser Guided Bombs. If I move the TGP around I can sometimes find the target and re-designate the target and then it shacks. Anyone else having that problem? -
Has anyone else had this problem. I am flying an F/A 18 with 4 2000 lb Laser guilded bombs. (LGB) I drop 2 at the same time on a Chinese type 071 Amphibious Transport Dock. I hit is just below the conning tower on the main deck. Nice shack but did less than 30% damage. I have also launched 2 harpoon missiles at the type 071 and both hit shacks but only did 11% damage. This ship is amazing. I haven't tried a nuke yet but I ran out of weapons all hitting the ship but did not sink it.

Was doing T/Os and Landings in the FA-18. Started the final turn, let A/S get a little slow {138kts} added power. AOA stayed at 15+ as went to 160 so I unloaded controls to change AOA and it came back slight freeze then system froze and gave me a crash notice. Also I can't TDC cursor to move using my Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle buttons. Can't even use a mouse.

For the training missions, Don't have the text disappear unless we are done. Some times I miss understand what is asked for but when I look up to see what I am suppose to do, it is gone. For the F-5E and A-10 Some Anti Radiation missles All the Flaming Cliff planes in full simulation mode as well as in their present game mode. Ground interconnect from the Original Caucus region to the Persian Gulf Region. A few other groups in the country setup. ISIS(although they can some what be simulated), Teliban Iranian Extremist, and for those of us old enough to remember, the Sha of Iran and his aircraft(this would go well with the F-5E and Mig 21 group). Napon (jellied gas) would be nice for the F-5Es and us old Vietnam War Vets. F-4E, F-104, and F-106, and an F-105! would be great again for use with the F-5E, and Mig 21s. Keep up the great job your doing! As an old USAF Instructor Pilot, these planes fly great. The F-5E is a little more sensitive than the T-38, was but a little tweeking of the axis tune and it flies like it I remember it. Fingertip formation was a little easier in the T-38 than in the sim but it's hard to find a good lead.

In this case, it doesn't. I'm Using an Oculus. When I get to the page where the GUI should be, It's not there anywhere. The full airplane is there. The Hangar is there. I Looked around the hangar and unless it is on the other side of the SU-27, It's not there. When I use the A-10 C theme and hit "OK" when I'm done changing Joy Stick button mapping, there is a GUI that appears and allows me to do everything. With the F-5E Theme, when I hit ok, when it switches from mapping, there is no GUI, just hangar and airplane.

The F-5E theme has a bug when making changes to controls. I have a Thrustmaster Warthog and I tried to save my changes to controls. When I hit OK at the bottom to save the changes, it drops me into the startup page with out the GUI. Just sitting there in a hanger with a nice SU-27, but no where to go. By the way, the music is great!
