  1. Charly_Owl, VORs (just radial info) are shown as hexagon icons in DCS. VORDMEs are shown as hexagons inside squares. In this image, you can see a VORDME on the left and a VOR on the right. The VOR (114.25) will only give radial info while the VORDME (128.93) will give radial info as well distance. DME from VORDMEs isn't working in the C101CC in the current version of DCS World.
  2. Thanks for the confirmation! Seems like a really poor aircraft design choice.
  3. Hey Vibora, The C101 (at least the CC) constantly adds nose up or nose down trim as long as the speed brake button is held in either the retract or extend position, regardless of the position of the speed brake. This seems really dangerous as it could result in large shifts in the pitch trim, particularly before takeoff. I know that checking trim is part of the takeoff checklist, but it just feels very unlikely that an aircraft manufacturer would leave this dangerous "feature" in a flight-worthy training aircraft. Is this really in the real C101? Shouldn't the trim adjustment halt once the speed brake reaches a fully open or closed position? Appreciate all your fine work, looking forward to getting educated on the C101!
  4. Technically, the PCs are set for nose angle above the horizon, not AoA - you can have the witches hat on the PCs and be descending and reach or exceed 15° AoA.
  5. This experience is reminding of me of how amazed I was with the level of depth of the Black Shark when it came out, and again with the A-10C. DCS continues to set the bar at impressively high levels for study-level simulations. The attention to detail shown in the numerous videos leading-up to the F/A-18 release and the model quality demonstrated by those lucky sons-of-guns who got pre-release access really shows that this product is a labor of love. Well done, ED. Well done.
  6. If you can recreate this in other builds, save a track or video and share it with us. It'll be a lot easier to solve or confirm as a bug.
  7. Can confirm the same. Refueling stopped once the internal tanks filled, but the AAR lights stayed dark and I didn't get the "refueling completed call from the tracker. Only the internal tanks were filled. I've been scrubbing the manual to see if there's a switch or button I missed.
  8. {down = ufc_commands.Button_Comm1, up = ufc_commands.Button_Comm1, cockpit_device_id = devices.UFCCONTROL, value_down = 1, value_up = 0, name = _('Comm1 Button'), category = _('Up Front Control')}, {down = ufc_commands.Button_Comm2, up = ufc_commands.Button_Comm2, cockpit_device_id = devices.UFCCONTROL, value_down = 1, value_up = 0, name = _('Comm2 Button'), category = _('Up Front Control')}, Note that the Comm 2 button motion isn't animated, currently.
  9. I was able to add Father to the FCLP by adding the following code to DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Mods\terrains\Normandy\Beacons.lua { display_name = _(''); beaconId = 'lsoFather'; type = BEACON_TYPE_TACAN; callsign = 'EEP'; channel = 23; position = { -26663.270857146, 950.0, -20110.729714289 }; direction = 90.0; positionGeo = { latitude = 49.250833, longitude = -0.589444 }; } This alters the game install, which I generally prefer to avoid, but I wasn't able to find a simple solution just yet. As one option, you can put a ground unit near the tower and, using MIST, give it a TACAN beacon. I was hoping I could add a Beacons.lua to the .miz file somewhere, to add beacons to the terrain for just this map, but haven't been able to figure that one out just yet.
  10. Not Deezle, but command_defs.lua has action items and their numbering. In this example, the AV8B's command_defs are at \Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Cockpit. ... start_command = 3000 ... DisplayBRTKnob = start_command + 289;
  11. Great stuff, Hook! This mission really helped my polish my approach and landings. wUmK2KlFr_s
  12. What is your total weight when you're trying to land vertically? The Harrier cannot land or takeoff fully fueled, even if all stores are jettisoned, even with water. As a rule of thumb, 21,000 pounds is the max wet vertical lift capability (19,000 pounds dry), although this changes with altimeter setting and temperature. Try landing again, but after burning/dumping fuel so that you only have 5,000 pounds left.
  13. Way to go, ED! I think one of the more underrated accomplishments has been the establishment and maintenance of very high quality standards for both ED and 3rd party developed modules. As a picky consumer, I feel more and more assured that whatever module makes it through the wringer that ED forces every developer to go through will have the same level of quality as all the other modules in my hangar. Well done. Also, is "in the coming weeks" the same thing as "two weeks"? ;)
