Growling Sidewinder

Hi, i'm trying to install the f-14 I can't seem to figure it out. I tried following instructions in the OP but it still didnt work. Is there a way I can just install these things without the mlink? maybe right into the install directory ? can anyone explain this to me like i'm a 5 year old. it would be greatly appreciated.

ya is there a disadvantage of using the 6bar scan? I just thought it could cover more area, I understand its slower but lets say u dont know where the targets are thats how ur going to be scanning am I wrong? also yes I picked up the planes on radar for a second but never again...just permanently lost them. so i'm not sure making the ghost image stay on longer is necessarily going to help. these planes weren't doing anything crazy either btw, they were just flying straight patterns back and forth. ok It seems this thread as been merged with another one in the bug section so I guess my issue is an early access bug. thats cool I just thought I was doing something wrong.

I can't pick up anything on radar.... So I set up this mission like 7 planes flying various altitudes between 2000-7000 meters and I'm trying to pick them up on radar. I have the radar in the 6B mode 140 degrees at 80km view range. and I know theyre no more 40km out. so 80 should be more than enough. I scanned the sky for like 15mins and got nothing.... I would pick up 3 planes for a second and lose them again. never to be seen again they were friendly I dont know if the radar is somehow set to filter off friendlies ? also how do I select aim 7s? seem to always be stuck in aim9 mode. heres a picture of my radar set up. I didn't upload a track because this is literally all that happened I scanned for 15 mins like this and got absolutely nothing. what am I doing wrong? is my radar set up wrong?

this. turn off game flight mode if you have it ticked.

i literally did it 10mins ago, its working fine for me, ensure the plane is stable in pitch before engaging the modes. also make sure you didn't accidentally engage "game flight mode" that also has an impact on autopilot I found.

Hi there, Just wanted to report a texture bug for the f18 with the canopy, I dont know how to reproduce it, I just started a Mission and got this texture, tried restarting mission got the same thing, If I just open the canopy until it flies off the textures go with the canopy. I had to actually close the sim and open it up again to solve the issue. also had this same texture issue with the carrier, the back end of the carrier looked exactly like this, I dont have screen shots of that though.

it was meant to be just cool clips not a story, but i'll keep that in mind if other people think a story line is better for the video. and yes I understand the music isnt for everyone, I try to use an array of music in my videos for this reason. can't please everyone lol thanks for the feedback man, great stuff.

ya there were deff some instances of that, thanks for the tip man i'll try it out. i hate that 1 second freeze frame I get sometimes.

thanks so much for the kind works, and criticisms. I'll deff take those into consideration for the next video. I only increased the speed to go with the rhythem of the music, but fair enough i'll hold back on that for the next one.

whats up all, I'm really trying to get good at this making DCS videos thing, I'd appreciate any and all feedback. thanks guys

exact same here brother, I remember at first people saying look for the ball, id be looking and didnt see anything, thought my carrier had a bug lol, not knowing my angles and altitude and everything were so off. now I trap with my eyes closed.

Thanks man

make sure game flight mode is unchecked in the options menu,

my thoughts exactly.

lol u go to external view, the pilot is obvs still in the plane. thats why you can see him, especially if you're in the air...its a simulator after all lol. autopilot is good but its not that good. I dont know what you're trying to do, but if youre just trying to get a plane with no pilot use the static objects in the mission editor.

are you using game flight mode? if so try unticking that. I flew with game flight mode for helicopters as i'm learning those right now and i forgot to untick it for the hornet, causes all kinds of problems for the carrier launch.

nah I just thought it fit well with the cinematics. "The song links the judgment of the wicked at the end of the age with the American Civil War. Since that time, it has become an extremely popular and well-known American patriotic song." hence why I used it for a video for an american plane. I'll make one later for Russian planes and I'll use patriotic Russian music. thanks brother appreciate it.

that smoke is from, static objects under effects under "big smoke" but ur right, thats why I use that effect, because the normal smoke effects are too tame. doesnt give you that feeling that you just messed up someones day real bad.

Just a little video I strung together as a little hornet appreciation. VMFA-232 The red devils doing the Lords work. Finally getting the hang of this editing thing and the DCS cameras. Slowly but surely. Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 232 (VMFA-232) is a United States Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet squadron. Nicknamed the "Red Devils", the squadron is based at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California and falls under the command of Marine Aircraft Group 11 and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. The Red Devils are the oldest and most decorated fighter squadron in the Marine Corps.

they may have changed it, I use alt f2 to lock the camera angle right now, and then "." on the numpad to lock onto plane.

check out A.E.W on youtube. he'll tell you everything you need to know about case 1

The ball is always there but u have to have the right angle and the right alignment to able to see it.

I figured it out, I had remapped the flaps and I did it wrong, should be sorted now.

haha man same, I been doing recovery after recovery, other people here are shooting down migs i'm just trappin trappin trappin. if you really want to see that deck move put on a rainstorm. then she really moves, if you pull up that LSO view (not the camera the platform view) you can actually see the carriers deck up and down up and down.
