  1. I can’t figure out how to use the TID to mark targets as friendly or hostile. I will use the computer when I have hooked a target and mark it hostile or friendly. However once I deselect the hooked aircraft my designation goes away. What am I doing wrong? There’s no use in marking aircraft on the TID as friendly or hostile if the marking dissaoears once the target is unhooked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Thanks for the reply! When you say the entire time it’s on do you mean when it’s active or when it’s also on standby? Thanks so much! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. If you turn on the radar cooling switch before you turn the radar from off to standby and the. Leave the coolant running will that interfere with the radar. Also does the alignment interfere with the radar in any way at all? I restarted the vegas cold start f14 mission several times yesterday and couldn’t get the radar to work. I finally started the radar without moving the cooling switch to on until I was airborne. I also set my Own AC and home base positions in the nav computer and the radar worked fine. Thank you all for your help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Radar elevation for me most of the time I just leave centered and I move it up and down as needed. Are friendly forces always detectable on the radar or are NPCs sometimes not detectable? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  6. Good Day All, I have just recently started flying with a buddy as a crew. I am the RIO and sometimes it seems like my radar is working and some times it doesnt. I will have the radar set to attack and transmit and I’ll swap around between different modes and it seems like sometimes I can find people on the radar and sometimes I can’t. Does alignment have anything to do with the radar working or not working? I have done full alignments on the carrier and shore with and without the stored heading information. I just flew the cold start mission on vegas and was trying to pick up the few friendly aircraft flying around just to practice radar operation with no success. Are there any pointers that you guys have, is there something simple that you can forget to do that renders the radar useless? Any help would be super appreciated!

  9. Good day all! When dropping laser guided bombs in the f16 is there a place that shows the time to impact so I can start lasing? I’ve just been winging it and doing fairly well I just don’t see a count down anywhere. Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Good Day, I am trying to figure out where to save liveries so they appear in game? I’m not using steam I am using DCS with modules bought from the DCS website. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  13. Hey All, How hard is the f14 to fly with Jester now that it’s been out for a year? If I’m trying to dogfight or drop bombs how easy is that to do when you constantly have to interact with jester in the backseat? I love the F-14 it’s an amazing aircraft but I just want to know what the ceiling is if you don’t have a human in the backseat. Thank you for your feedback. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Is there a reason why my laser guided bombs would be repeatedly landing next to targets and not on the targets? I will be dropping 500 pound LGBs from between 15-20K feet and the bombs a lot of the time will land close to where I’m lasing, close enough that eventually the targets catch on fire and are destroyed but they aren’t direct impacts. I have my auto lase on and set for 12 seconds before impact and I’m not moving my TGP. I always drop in point mode on the TGP not area, any guidance would be great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I’ll definitely do that I just didn’t know if the UAVs were actually lasing stuff Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Do UAVs lase targets automatically? I have been playing the through the inferno mission and sometimes when I drop LGBs they don’t hit what I’m lasing but they always hit something. Circling above the group of targets im attacking are two UAVs and I was just curious if those have the ability to lase and whether or not they are interfering with what I am trying to bomb.

  17. Can I go online to buy tickets to this event, I just want to spectate!
  18. I was just curious if most people play in VR or use a Track IR? I have a cheap thrust master HOTAS that I bought with my PS4 for war thunder. I Have a 3.7 Ghz computer with 32 gigs of ram and a GTX 1080. I have an oculus but find it difficult to use especially when trying to read what cockpit switches are labeled. I was thinking about getting a Track IR but was just curious what you guys, the professionals use. Thanks!
  19. I had a similar problem I went into the game menu and turned off the easy flight mode controls and everything works fine now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Does anyone here care to elaborate on how good DCS actually looks in VR? I just got a gaming computer about a week ago and I got Oculus Rift and Touch for $350 bucks on Amazon Prime Day last week. I have a PSVR and am super excited to see how this game looks in VR. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and happy hunting!!
  21. Could anyone shine some light on why my keyboard only works on the F18 Cold Start Training Mission? I don't get any keyboard response at all on the other F18 missions that I select or the instant action missions that I create. Is there something that I am overlooking? I have tried repairing the game but my keyboard still doesn't work. This is the second post I've made in as many days. I am new to DCS and just looking for any guidance available. Thank you!
  22. Hey guys, My keyboard controls only seem to work on the f18 cold start training mission. I have tried what I’ve been able to think of and I can’t get it to work. Controls work fine on the eagle and the a10. Any advice would be appreciated.
