[NEED TRACK] Hissing noise on startup As soon as the engine spools up and stabilizes to idle a loud hissing noise appears (similar to a radio static). It happens on both open and closed canopy, same volume. Looked around the cockpit, radios/tacan seems to be off.. Any idea what can that be?

With the latest update the game started crashing on start up with no report. It turned out the crash was caused by the recently installed module of the Mirage F1. I erased the following mod folders from \\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft MirageF1 MirageF1- AI MirageF1CT Now I am up and running again. Just FYI if someone trying to pinpoint cause of CTD.

ED/BST did a minor update on the gear/flaps down behavior in patch 5 (last week). This addressed the nose drop on flaps down which was clearly wrong. That said, at 250 knots when you start lowering gear/flaps you MUST add appropriate amount of power to maintain the final landing airspeed at donut AOA. The amount of power you need to add depends on the jet weight fuel/stores, drag of the stores etc. Good luck.

Was wondering about the same, locked a tanker and while outside of hud it was diamond. Once in the hud changed to square. Is that how iff is supposed to work? How about indication on the radar screen e.g. different style marker"?

Skate, thank you for the response. I was under the same impression as the items I was trying to place on Stennis do show normally on land airports/FARPS. Anyway, are there any plans to expand on the "clutter" on the carrier decks in future?

I tried to add some ground unit statics on the deck together with aircraft and some deck crew. The only showing are the aircraft and the deck crew (which is a mod having the deck crew objects under the aircraft group). Any idea why the rest of the statics (such as some crates and GBU12 trolleys) are not showing?

in short: all mods which once unzipped don't have the correct folder structure as they should appear in the DCS main folder. Workaround: do your own folder structure, place the files in the correct folders, load in the MOD enabler and you should be good to go.

The day when I modified my TM Warthog throttles with the AB detent to not need lift of the grips I was reborn :D There are quite a few threads, the most relevant is: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=208998

Yah... Patience is a virtue they say but this specifically is the most annoying issue with the Hornet ATM and I would like to see it fixed sooner rather than later...

I noticed the jet behaves fairly well on the deck even in high seas until you try to do something with the ground crew. For example following a successful trap I am parking the jet and applying parking brake, no movement. Requesting the ground crew for refuel/rearm and I can observe the jet starts to move around slightly, then resetting back to the original spot and again moving. Nothing major but doesn't look right.

That's pretty much the best solution for those flying with TM Warthog Throttles. Added bonus, you can use the modified detent to configure the CLB mode on your FSL A320X in P4D :joystick:

Thank you all contributors. The trick with modifying the black/red plastic thingy (afterburner detent) inside the TM Warthog throttle worked very well and adding a slider/curve 6 was the perfect axis setting inside the game. Now I can enjoy the Mil power without having to look all the time at the FF gauge to determine if I'm in burners or not...

I was thinking something was wrong with me, my computer or my screen... Now I can see actually many people are complaining, my case is exactly as someone ahead already reported: "same for me with 3440x1440, once you zoom in closer it gets better", I'll add *and play with the HUD/DDI brightness setting. DCS please look into this as it is quite annoying...

Got the same Then message AV8 and two campaigns keys are missing.. Checked in the list, the AV key was not there (all other modules have the keys listed). Yesterday was all good. Now reinstalling the AV8 but dont keep my hopes high.

Wow! OP reading my mind. Just yesterday was digging to find the long forgotten AJS manual and was thinking, why not all manuals are in one place easily accessible, like the Documents folder for example. I copy paste them all in my Dropbox anyway, to read on iPad while flying but can't cope with the revision that way...

Cool idea. I did similar thing to find airbases around Normandy in bad weather. Bunch of partiot/hawk radars at the center of the airfields of interest do the job nicely.

Guys, don't we have that already in the Viggen? I doubt the A6 radar was much fancier (still remember how the b/n Tiger Cole used to reset/restart the stuck drumms of their A6 radar in the notorious novel). Multi crew is different story. We need to see how the Tomcat Jester will pan out.....:joystick:

:thumbup:

First of all - well done Razbam. Very interesting module with great potential. Hopefully following the early access the left-out features will be quickly added. The one thing that I personally find quite basic at this stage though is the soudset. Yes, I know it's not entirely in your control and ED has to also work on it. I assume it is WIP (probably). Please push for something nice to be developed in that area as right now I feel like I am flying the F-19 sim from 25y ago.. IMHO you never got the Mirage soundset right and that is why I barely fly it. Make a change with the Harrier, it deserves a top notch soundset...

Hahahaha... well done sir! No wonder it's called "widow maker". Crashed it myself couple of times out of the box.

One and only - A6E.. of course with a Vietnam map... The deck of the Heatblur Forrestal needs to get busy during these multiplayer sessions...

OK, I bought the Mirage I also prepurchased the Harrier.. I see 39 pages of Intruder discussion. What more do you Razbam guys need to get to work and make one of the most impressive planes in the history (A6E)?... :) :) :)

This saved my day! :thumbup:

Bolt, thanks. This resolved the issue. I'm gonna post your solution to a group in FB where the guys are facing the same issue.

I..... neeeed..... Aaaa-6.... In all fairness, My personal shopping list would be: A-6E F-14B F/A-18C Viggen... Yet, the Vig came first.. how sad..
