NOW I understand the problem we need to solve! Sorry about that! :) This is from Chuck's Guide (since I'm at work and it's already nicely labeled)

As much as I hate doing the AOL thing...thanks, BN! That's something you should hear more than the griping.

It's hard to get more sure. I change COM volume SRS volume doesn't change. I change MIDS volume and SRS volume changes. That's not a screenshot, it's a video. I would consider it a feature, and something to be documented rather than changed. Given I'm apparently the only person who's noticed it's not much of a problem, either.

As long as they release it in the state I'm living in, or have lived in (13 of those), or even a state in other countries I've visited (lost count years ago). Heck, even if they release it in a state I've never been to, I'll still buy it. I'll pre-order if it needs a few more weeks, or months, in the oven to finish baking. As long as it has wings attached. Or still in the crate with some assembly required... Am I being too subtle? :music_whistling::pilotfly::joystick:

Sorry, UHF was meant as a joke (they tend to be line of sight). Best I can suggest is reverting a version, but it would be interesting to know if this is server specific. Apparently SRS has a discord if you need support from the developer(s).

UHF radios? Almost sounds like a network issue. I have to assume (because I don't know) SRS uses hub and spoke routing. Does this happen everywhere you try to connect, or only using specific servers?

Don't be too sure. Last time I checked someone in the U.S. Navy is emotionally incapable of understanding how anyone might need a precision approach system during inclement weather and ILS is still not installed on Navy aircraft. I suspect the F-35 has the same problem. It's a bit of a testament to Naval Aviators more of them haven't died. I fear a few will have to before Congress asks the Navy why something as basic (now days) doesn't seem to exist on modern, mega-million dollar aircraft.

The answer is I'm unaware of one, but it wouldn't be the hardest thing in the world to make yourself. In real aircraft, no, not even close. They have gates to prevent going into burner or idle cutoff without intent, but no ratchets. Everything below this is off-topic to your original question and can be safely ignored. To echo a whole bunch of other people, I don't even look at where my throttle is, I look at what the aircraft is doing. When on-speed I control throttle position based on the velocity vector. When flying I adjust the throttle to maintain airspeed or hit auto-throttle. Having detents like you describe would, in my mind, make flying harder. For DCS I dialed the throttle friction level all the way down, because smoother is better when you're managing rate of descent on-speed during approach.

Sweet! I'll have to play with that against those pesky SA-10 sites.

Well...if you over shoot the runway take a hard left, then a right at the light, then the next left and swing through the carry out for a quick snack. Make sure you fold the wings first. :joystick:

Which is cosmetic and doesn't hold any gas. I believe the guy who wrote it said there's no plumbing in the core code. They do look cool, but an AIM-9 looks even better :thumbup: I like my F-5 just the way it is. Warts and all. Ok, an F-5 with 6 AIM-54Cs would be even better at picking up the chicks, but I think you'd have to mount them above the wings. That wouldn't look so cool.

Guess it depends on what you want to use them for. They would suck at stopping a main battle tank, but they're more than enough to stop an F-18 :smartass::pilotfly:

Pete's SA-10s and TORs will eat your JDAMs for breakfast. Keep shooting until they run out of air defense missiles if you've got the patience. Launch harpoons with a low flight path; that seems to work better, but it's no guarantee. Oddly, for reasons defying explanation, the Soviets did not build it to be sunk easily. A bit like trying to tackle a properly established SA-10 site with a single aircraft. You can do it, but it take a LOT of sorties. How embarrassing would it be if your ten billion dollar ship got sunk by one ten million dollar aircraft and a couple giant white...uh...devices of death?

If you're on-speed you're not using the boards and you're not at idle. Mains down, then throttle back, boards out, stick back, check the mirrors to make sure your mustache is in spec...standard Navy pilot landing checklist.

If you go to controls there's something called axis tune. You can deadband that out, but calibration is a much better idea. If your hardware doesn't have a utility you can default to using Windows calibration.

Don't land heavy, boards out, stick back, flaps full, barely need brakes. It seems (purely perception) that DCS pilots can't live without wings full of death and JP5. Landing close to max weight is bad for a lot of things, including stopping distance. A full bag of internal gas and NOTHING ELSE (not even pylons) puts you over max trap weight. There's a reason we dump millions of pounds of JP5 on deployments. Doing our part to combat global cooling.

When you hit escape and 'quit' it gives you the option of saving the mission into a .trk file. Other people can replay the file, within the limits of the player (and there are a few). Do you have colons in front of BALT and HSEL on the up front controller? Sort of like:

Track file will help here so we can watch. Make sure the AP is on, make sure you're either hands off (or very gentle) on the stick.

I have to wait an extra fifteen days to find out I'm not exactly a sierra-hotel pilot on the super carrier, too? At least the background wound would look nicer as the flaming wreckage skids off the angle deck, and there are crewmen around diving for cover. Between Coronavirusgeddon and Snowmageddon there might be enough opportunities to get the skill set ready. Take your time. :joystick::pilotfly:

What blew me away was the initial feature list! That's going to be so cool... A bit like a tunnel pass, or padeye remover.

Oh, come on. A little...kitty never hurt anyone!

Just for grins suck up the noise and strain, set it to 144, and see what happens for ten minutes. A short burst shouldn't hurt much. :thumbup:

I generally don't get much more than 40 FPS on my system, but it's not jerky at all, that that machine is beastly. If you look at the nVidia control panel what does it say about monitor refresh?

What temperature are your CPU and GPU running? Is the OS throttling the CPU? If you look at Performance Monitor what frequency is it ticking along at?

It...feels longer. One of the things I noticed, but didn't get into a twist over. I have found a couple things that will flat out break it and it hangs on the load screen forever, but they're both self-induced. Sometimes undoing whatever stupid thing I did fixes it, sometimes I need to reboot. Maybe that's my imagination, too. The 'slower' load could easily be my imagination as well. I should go back to 2.5.5 on my old machine and whip out a stop watch.
