After a few minutes AUTO 5 (sometimes AUTO 9) shows up on the AMPCD. The number is persistent no matter what is on that screen though the AUTO vanishes if I hide the map, and it rasters over the top of any other content. It's annoying, but I can't find anything about what, or why, it is. My search fu is probably weak...

That other hypothetical bit of software should finish downloading in time for a few quick fly-overs of a couple locations of interest today. Had to pay top dollar to get the right airports, but what the heck. Tomorrow I'll be over Syria, and I'm really looking forward to it. That will become my map of choice for a while.

If Chuck made a guide for running a toaster it would be worth a look. The guy's work is downright biblical.

These are two things I really, really, really wish DCS would just add to the default.lua rather than making me update it after every update. How hard can that be? { down = gear_commands.LaunchBarSw, up = gear_commands.LaunchBarSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.GEAR_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Launch Bar Control Switch - EXTEND/RETRACT'), category = {_('Left Vertical Panel')}}, { down = gear_commands.LaunchBarSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.GEAR_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Launch Bar Control Switch - EXTEND'), category = {_('Left Vertical Panel')}}, { down = gear_commands.LaunchBarSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.GEAR_INTERFACE, value_down = -1.0, name = _('Launch Bar Control Switch - RETRACT'), category = {_('Left Vertical Panel')}}, { down = fuel_commands.DumpSw, up = fuel_commands.DumpSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.FUEL_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Fuel Dump Switch - ON/OFF'), category = {_('Left Console'), _('Fuel Control Panel')}}, { down = fuel_commands.DumpSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.FUEL_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Fuel Dump Switch - ON'), category = {_('Left Console'), _('Fuel Control Panel')}}, { down = fuel_commands.DumpSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.FUEL_INTERFACE, value_down = -1.0, name = _('Fuel Dump Switch - OFF'), category = {_('Left Console'), _('Fuel Control Panel')}},

Well, the good news (for ED) is the lack of uncertainty. They know, in their hearts, that no matter what they do there will be a crowd outside their offices with torches and pitchforks.

...thinking about all you people in Минск. Stay safe.

You can dial trim in beautifully if you use an axis. If you use a momentary switch it's not nearly granular enough. I agree that a way is needed to adjust the gain on +/- switches that are there to do the job normally done by an axis. They're all far too coarse.

I think someone forgot to set material condition zebra...was this thing commanded by the captain of the Stark?

I'd rather do the math. Vsound=SQRT(adiabatic constant * gas constant * absolute temperature/molecular weight of gas) Not seeing density anywhere in there. We're not talking about lift, we're calculating TAS from MACH, and MACH is calculated against the speed of sound. Still confused, but thanks for trying.

I am curious why you calculate TAS using air density at a particular altitude when the speed of sound (in air) is dependent on temperature and not density.

Hoops here. No google account, your opinion also doesn't count.

Oh, come on. Getting a launch warning while still in a hardened aircraft shelter is a GREAT introduction to MP!

So...a RIO with the hot air directed down rather than forward?

None of the long standing issues stop me from having quite a bit of fun flying the F-5. So, yes, by your standards I, too, am proudly part of the problem. Thank you for your recognition. Now, when will DCS get busy and give me an opportunity to give them money? I don't expect perfection (nothing ever is), just entertainment and enjoyment.

:music_whistling: :pilotfly:

In 15 years I'll be caught up with all the existing toys, so put me on the list of people who wholeheartedly approve of their current plans. Of course in 15 years I'll probably be dead. Still, at that point there's finally nothing more to learn.

Really? I mapped oxygen flow to an axis, set it to 100%, and passed out on the ground. Wags said it wasn't a bug, I bit my tongue.

DCS still hasn't fixed the serial number on the 2.75" rockets. I can't believe this bug has existed since 1938 and they still haven't fixed it, so no more money from me unless they're releasing something new. Or pre-ordering. Or early access. Or letting us pay for rumors... Syria is bought. Pretty close to a perfect blue on purple map.

No worries; wasn't one of those "If you don't fix this RIGHT NOW I won't buy anything else from DCS unless you add something I haven't already bought yet" problems. On the other hand, interesting to know that's a layer. Should have been obvious, but still interesting. How many AG radar sets are there on warbirds (besides the I-16 of course)?

Has anyone noticed that (at least among the AI ships in PG) it might take three or four thousand pounds of LGB to sink something, but hit them with a Maverick and they go down faster than a 688 doing a crash dive. We need Mav warheads on harpoons.

I'm not sure how to not make it work. All I do is turn my head...you do need to get into a different view at least once. Hit F2, then back, see what happens.

AG radar is borked in channel, did manage to land on the CV while it was next to the pier in Dover. Backed in, so the approach is over the trees on the hill. No FPS dings, though. Haven't run into this one yet.

I know it's false positive. Just saying my Romanian anti-virus doesn't like your (Swedish?) .dll Can't anybody get along anymore? The file D:\DCS World\_downloads\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\bin\AJS37.dll is infected with Gen:Variant.Ursu.840745 and was moved to quarantine. It is recommended that you run a System Scan to make sure your system is clean.

Sorry for the (temporary) hijack, one of our watch officers claimed he was in the F-18 pipeline but the vision in one eye went to 20/25 and he got booted. At the time I thought he was full of <waste, nuclear, 1 ea>, but I'm still curious if that's the sort of thing that would get you dropped from the pipeline. In the early/mid 80s. About the time the 18As were coming on line. I got reminded of this from Mover interviewing Gonky, who said the recruiter tried to get him into the nuke program. Once a nuke, always a nuke. There's no escape. Ever. If you die and your GPA is close enough they send you to the fleet anyway. If your GPA isn't close enough you get a commission first.
