3 days is a big print. 1500 with no issues, what printer is it? Did you get your CNC yet, that is also going to be so awesome. Whats wrong with the brake handle?

Evilfisher, I switched back to an older version and although some of the switches do not work correctly, I am still able to use them. Maybe you could do the same. At least till there is a fix available.

I don't think you can place it on the carrier in a specific position. You can place static objects where you want them, just make sure you don't put them where the player jet will spawn. Bit of trial and error I am afraid.

The setting in this post work a treat. Didn't know the radar could work this well. Thanks a mill.

Don't know if it is a bug or not. Cant duplicate it sufficiently to say it is a bug to report. Seems to be something with the sequence of selecting WP, designate, AtoG etc. Just one thing and I am not trying to be funny, because this happened to me last night, make sure your target WP is in front of you. I did a run on a target, then selected the WPagain on egress, hit the designate WP as target button and no line, was like oh yeah there is that problem, only to realise the bloody target was behind me. :cry:

It is possible to change the default setting in one of the LUA files. I have terrible short term memory so cant remember the name of the file. Downside is you have to change it after each update, upside is when you get into combat and you forgot to change the defaults in game, you drop 10 flares in one go, and are out. Edit: The name of the file you would change is CMDS_ALE47.lua. Under the F-18 Mods > Script > Cockpit or something like that it is in the TWSA folder. Again names are probably wrong but it will get you close enough to find the file.

This has happened to me a couple times, the pickle line just flashes in the HUD and goes away. There was a post about it somewhere around. I normally have to restart the mission. Not ever found a cause for it.

Wow now that is a serious print. How many hours in the print (never mind the design) .

This is interesting. So we could run Ikarus on a laptop next to our Sim PC?

It is stopping at the actual ground height on the map. I don't thing AGL makes a diffs here.

EDIT 2: Sorry Guys, didn't see there was a 1 Oct Update. So I was having problems with my switches last night. This afternoon, I was fiddling around and saw that there was a 1 Oct update for the Hornet DCS BIOS. I updated my machine and now no switches work at all. I removed DCS BIOS from my machine and started with a fresh copy. Then put back the latest Hornet code, 0.6. Checked my sketches and only had to make a change to the ejection handle switch. Uploaded to my Uno and Mega, ran DCS and still no luck. Switches do not work in game and if I check the serial connector, there is no code coming in from DCS. Not sure what I could have missed. The only difference is I have been trying to setup my TM Warthog since the weekend. I did think it might be because I changed some of the key mappings in DCS so set that back to default. Any ideas what I could look at? EDIT 3: Just reinstalled all of DCS BIOS again and went right back to basics. Setup the Master Caution Reset in the A-10C and tested and it works fine. Same switch box I was using with the Hornet. Edit 4: So I found an older version of the Hornet script and loaded it up. My switch box works again in DCS but back to the original problem I was trying to solve where certain switches don't toggle correctly. For instance, the fuel dump switch, have to flick it up to dump, then to stop dumping must flick it down then back up, like it is a push button.

Cat looks rather upset there is a helmet in his chair!!! Looking awesome Guppy, really great work.

Thank you for clarifying this. I always have another ground command as well as AWACS in my missions. AWACS is setup as ME AWACS but then my ground command gives all other instruction. Glad I am not to far off.

Hi Guys I am very new to combat flight sims and loving building some missions. I am trying to polish my comms (no voice over yet) and had a few questions. Who or what is the primary contact for a combat flight when airborne? Would it be AWACS or is it / can it be some other command. If a enemy fighter was contacted, would this be by the AWACS or some other contact. From what I can make out, if the pilot (me / player) was to try contact a enemy fighter it would be on some guard channel or something like that. Thanks for the input. I want to try and make my missions as realistic as possible.

Thanks a mill, glad to know they will still work with that action gone. Will sort this asap. Thanks

You can set a callsign in the advanced waypoint action for EWR.... the one I need to remove :music_whistling:

Edit: I am such a chop. As I typed the reply this morning I realized I was being stupid. I was not assigning these in game. I saw all the special for joystick commands and was not putting 2 and 2 together. This is fantastic thank you thank you. I was thinking that so did remove the keyboard entries, restarted DCS and still no luck. Should I be doing anything special in the key bindings in addition to my normal bindings.

Hi Guys I just got my Warthog and struggling to come to terms with it. I just want to clarify, I put the above lines into the default.lua in both places for OB > Joystick and Keyboard. Is there anything else I need to do as this is not working for me?

Hi Guys Been working on a couple missions on the PG map and added a lot of RL SAM Sites. Now in flight, when you call up AWACS, there are a ton of entries for the EWR sites. A lot of them fall under Axman as that was the call sign assigned but a lot just show up as EWR ####. Is it possible to have these operational but not show up in the AWACS comms menu? I was also trying to figure out how to prevent the AWACS from calling out targets until I actually wanted to know they were there. Obviously I could just not tune into the AWACS freq but I tune to that as soon as I am wheels up most time and assume others would do the same. Getting BRA info to soon might pull somebody off the flight path. Thanks, Ross

I have been looking at this method and the LUA file for the Hornet is nothing like the ones in the post, that is what threw me when I first got started. I see the default.lua is similar. I think I need to learn the target software. Thanks

OMF I am now so confused. I can do simple binding in DCS but then the buttons on the Throttle panel are not really that functional. Take the Flaps, that is 3 positions but the throttle is really only a 2 position switch with a off in the middle. The scripting makes very little sense to me as do the diff.lua files. I looked at the lua files provide but they are mapped in a very strange way and again makes the throttle panel very limited.

:joystick: Dumb bombs, please no more dropping those things. Makes the Hornet feel a bit overkill, fly all the way there, miss with your CCIP and fly all the way back. :cry:

Thanks for all the input guys. Didn't realise there was going to be such a big setup time, if I want to do it right. The HOTAS is downstairs in the car and now I got to try battle thru 2 more hours of work before I can go play. Will probably look at printing a AB detent on my printer for that issue. Will look at Target to do some scripting. Not to sure what the problem with the TDC Slew, but sure when I start playing around I will find it. (I did see people battle to map it and the curves can be a bit off) Sitting here thinking, do I now get to push the throttle forward to start the engines and not have to use the home keys anymore?

Are you talking about the Warthog software or actually editing the controller scripts? Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Really excited, my Warthog came into stock and I should pickup today or tomorrow. Any advice for a new Warthog user, mostly flying the Hornet at the moment. Anything I should be aware of? Coming from a X-52 Pro and I do use a DCS-BIOS switch box for some controls.
