Lobo LXII

All too true. What I called Mk-76 practice bomb I believe you called BDU-33,lol

As a 6531 Marine Aviation Ordnanceman (USMC '80-'88) I have loaded my share of MK 82's equipped with snakeye fins. There is a small steel band the holds the fins closed. A Brass arming wire runs thru a clasp on this band and to an arming solenoid on the bomb rack that is mounted on the MER/TER. This was to give the Aircrew the choice of dropping it retarded or unretarded. The ejector racks on the MER/TER released when a CAD (Cartridge Actuating Device) was fired, opening the hooks and extending a piston (about 5") that ejected the bomb away from the rack. The arming wire was not pulled out of the retention clasp until the bomb was 2 to 2.5 feet from the rack.

"In the video we also featured the Zargos mountain regions in the east." Cool, So I'm guessing Diyala Province being included. I spent the end of '04 and most of '05 there. I could step out of my CHU and see the Zagros Mountains to the east.

I Wish I had thought to look there. Instead, this is the thought prosses that brought me to that conclusion. I use OvGME, so I disabled all of my Mods. Then I ran the full (slowest) Repair option in the start menu, Eagle Dynamics folder. I still had the problem. Next, I went into my saved games folder, Cut my DCS World folder out and moved it to my desk top. I then ran DCS world , which created a new folder in Saved games folder. The problem was gone. Now I knew the problem was in my old saved games folder. But where? I opened a window with my old saved games folder on the left side of my screen and another window on the right with my new saved games folder. Next ,one at a time, I copied an item from my old DCS World saved game folder , pasted it into the new DCS World saved games folder an let it overwrite the new Item. I then started DCS World and checked to see if the problem had returned. When It did, I knew my problem was in the last Item I had moved into the new DCS World folder. In my case, it was the Options.lua ,so I deleted it, ran DCS so a new Options.lua would be generated and check to make sure that fixed the problem again. it did. I am lazy by nature and did not want to have to redo all of my option bindings. So now I compared the two .lua files line by line until I found a difference and fixed it. Problem solved. Maybe this post will help someone else track down a problem they are having.

Well, color me a Dumb*&%,but I found the problem. C:\Users\xxxxx\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config In the options.lua Line 49 ["optionsView"] = "optview_onlymap", So I launched DCS, Opened the options / gameplay menu and under F10 view options switched it to All. Problem Solved.

Huum, Guess I'll try another repair

In some Modules I can get fairly close. But in others, like my new Mirage F-1, I always over overshoot . No matter how long I wait between inputs it is always too much.

Title says it all. I searched this in "everywhere" before making this post.

I second the above! I am learning to fly the Mirage F-1 and would love to relabel my switches. Then do it again when the F-4E gets released!

Thanks, I'll look into it. Sounds a lot than what I did.

Thanks for running that check. So, I gutted everything and reinstalled. I must have missed something last time because it works fine now. Now to rebuild again....Hope third time is the charm!

I have 2 installs , Vanilla and OpenBeta , with .exe shortcuts for Vanilla, Open Beta and OpenBeta MT. F10 works in Vanilla but not in either of the OBs. I have disabled anything in OvGME and even went so far as to uninstall and reinstall OB, still no joy. I even tried reassigning to another button instead of F10. No, I have not tried any other modules yet as want to learn how to fly Gen 3 (?) in preparation for the F-4's release.

With the arrival of the AH-64 and the upcoming OH-58,Would anyone else like to see the US Army Aviation logbook entry's updated? Most of the Army pilots are Warrant Officer as opposed to to the regular Officer ranks. If I had the skills and knowledge I would I would cobble one together myself.

Thanks from me as well ! Rock out with...

Just posted this in another thread,it might help. " You could also set a snap view. I customized 2 of them. One gives me a closer view of my interments ( including the VVI ) and the other is of my fuel gauges. I stole this from another post and keep a copy in my DCS Notes folder Custom Snap View(s) By pressing one of these Snap View keybinds brings you to the default Snap View that is setup for that module: in my experience these are usually less then useful, so it is worth redoing them yourself for a more pleasant experience. To alter a default Snap View first press the Snap View key that you wish to change: we are going to change the Snap View 6 (accessed by pressing Right Alt + Numpad 6) as an example. The game now remembers this as your last selected snap view, and pressing Save Cockpit Angles [default= Right Alt + Numpad 0] will bind your current view to this Snap View. " Happy Landings
