  1. The WSO controllers only connect to the AG firing circuits - so gun and AA weapons are front seat only.
  2. The error can be found on Page 241 "NAV (At the earliest 2 minutes before throttle up, to avoid problems with the navigation system)" however the navigation system initializes in BER, the "2 minutes" is to prevent overheating because the bay is air cooled (hence needing to be throttle up within 2 minutes). I don't know if the "current" manual is a revision of an earlier one - I cannot find the 5 minute portion anymore but I know it was in the manual I downloaded a long time ago because it was what I referenced in an earlier tutorial and an older version of the Chucks Guide also had "5 mins" instead of 2.
  3. There is also an error in the old manual regarding when to turn the master mode switch in relation to take off. The (current/old) manual states it needs to be in NAV for 2 minutes to align the CK37 for takeoff heading, but the Swedish version covers that this is done in BER.
  4. You are correct. I've misread that all these years somehow. Not a bug.
  5. There is a missing key-bind input on the Weapon Selector Knob: The first map option is "1 - SJO | PLAN" but there is still a knob setting ahead of that for "RB05 | BOMB" on the dial that doesn't exist in the bindings. The only way to set this is to use the CW/CCW inputs inside the aircraft but on a positional rotary switch that can't be done. I know the aircraft starts with the knob in this setting by default so as long as it is never changed the issue is minimal, but if you need to adjust it back you have to click it with the mouse.
  6. It's not a bug. I was very confused by this too but HB actually improved on the normal keymapping. Set the input for the switch (use the Release Mode switch as an example) and when you engage the switch it will switch it as desired. The "down position" is default. Once you disengage the switch it will switch to the other position. This is great because it allows you to use a single input for a two input switch, and will replicate best with a non-momentary switch which is what the real switch is. Of course this logic doesn't work if you are using a momentary switch, which is what the X-56 has. HB could offer two new key binds that would work for momentary inputs - but that may not work with their coding for the switches to change when an input is stopped. At the end of the day the way it works now is better for various reasons as the only downside is that momentary switches won't work.
  7. Not game breaking - but the JHMCS sensor is missing in the external 3d model.
  8. I am working on a complete tutorial series to replace my earlier ones for release later this year.
  9. I've rebound it dozens of ways and nothing did the trick. However - ED support helped out and here is what worked: 1) Rename the C:\Users\----\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta folder to Temp 2) Run the Repair utility 3) Relaunch DCS Good idea though is to save your configs and bindings - you're going back to vanilla. I ran the repair tool multiple times and it didn't do anything but renaming the folder then doing so fixed the issue.
  10. @Oilman100 I completely uninstalled VA today (even though it wasn't connected to DCS anymore) and still no joy.
  11. I have Voice Attack but not for DCS (was going to set that up next actually...). I wonder if there are hooks though? Might go digging around now looking for that.
  12. I've searched around on the forums and seen various reports of this but after the most recent open-beta update my comms menu will not load. I've mapped it to various keys (on multiple devices), nothing. When I open the binding menu pressing the key goes right to the binding but no matter what in every module I cannot use "\" (or any other binding) to bring the comms menu up. Easy communication is off (toggled that too). Completely removed everything but the vanilla OB game (or cleared out best I can tell). Also have noticed that missions are launching in pause and the briefing does not load. May or may not be related but that is the only other thing I've noticed out of place. dcs.log
  13. For those dealing with this annoying AV issue, once you tell the AV to ignore the DCS folder, make sure to do a full repair on DCS with the tool.
