In order to save bindings in my HOTAS, I was thinking this: The Radio has four channels, A-B-C-D, and an OFF-button. Now I could bind 4 buttons of my HOTAS to the 4 channels so I can quickly change the channel without grabbing the mouse. But I also want to be able to turn off the radio. When I push a channel. already selected, the channel goes off, but the radio is still on. Example: when I push the button, bound to channel A, the radio selects channel A. When I push this same butting again, the radio DEselects channel A, but doesn't turn off the radio. So it doesn't depress the OFF-button. I wonder if this could be implemented. The same goes for the radio on the P-51 by the way. I don't have the other warbirds, so I wouldn't know.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this will only work if you launch VoiceAttack as an admin. That means that when VA launches, Windows will ask you every time if you want to start it. Unacceptable if you are in VR.

I would imagine, with the mags off and the fuel stil flowing, there could be a dangerous amount of unburned fuel accumulating in the engine/carbs somewhere. I thought that the featheringsystem is electrical. You can see it working on the ground, with the engines turned off.

Hmmm.... yesterday in MP/Multicrew, the (right) engine kept turning. Throttle was back, RPM was not back, mags were off, fuel was off and feather was pressed. The prop kept turning. No trackfile or so. Just saying that there might be something bugged still, even if this topic is labeled "correct as is". I will do some more testing if you don't mind and provide a track if I find anything.

...and also for the trim up/down it seems...

I know there is a special Mosquito-setting where you can chose if the throttle levers will slide over the detend (for max. power) or if you have to pull the triggers first. However, also in the latter case, the throttles will slide over the detend.

Further more, if the player lands and re-arms with full bombs, the bombs on the wings will not release. So if you have full bombs at startup everyting is ok, but rearm, and the outer bombs won't drop. They will drop with jettison.

Also, shouldn't there be a silencer-button, like in the P-51 ?

Thanks NineLine. I think the same issue goes for the binding "Gear up/down"

The sound is a warning. The plane is telling you that you are idling your engines, but your gear isn't down yet. It is a safeguard for forgetting to put the gear down when landing. However, a pilot should be allowed to idel the engines as the situation requires, so there ought to be a silencer-button. I don't know if that is the case in the real Mosquito. If not, and I had to fly the thing, I would sabotage the warning-sound.

I read that the P-51 will be taken care later. First the Mosquito will get attention. After that a map or so, then the P-51.

It has nothing to do with altitude I believe. The P-51 has this too. Whenever you throttle back to almost idle, and the gears are up, you will get a warning-sound. Extremely annoying in the Mossie's case. In the P-51 you have a silencer-button though. Doesn't the Mosquito have this ?

The switch to change the supercharger from MOD to AUTO is twichy when bound. Works ok if you use the mouse, but not if it is bound to the HOTAS. The switch changes up and down real fast.

Correction. I did find that setting, but it was already in the correct position. I'll try out some of those settings

Eehrmm... no. I looked at the special settings for the Mosquito, but couldn't find a setting for that. Could it be that this doesn't work in VR ?

I understand from the training-mission that turning on the gun-reticle should shift the pilot's position to in front of the gunsight. This doesn't seem to work. I remain in the pilot's seat

Having the landinggear behind a safety-cover just means another binding for the HOTAS. I can understand why this is in real life, but for a simulator one should considder the limitations we have. Also, the bindings for gear-handle up and -down seem to be mixed up.

If there are bindings for trim u/d/l/r and rudder, there should also be a Trim-reset binding.

Hi. Yeah, I too couldn't find the Mig in this mission. Right after the heads up, I turned full burner into their heading and put the radar on 6bar, full azimuth, full range. Never found the Mig. I got a nails from it, but no radar-echo. So getting low on fuel I decided to land at Khasab. There I found the Mig parked on the apron ! So I shot it and got the "splash-message". However, not enough fuel to reach the Abe, and at Khasab they wouldn't give me any. So I think you made Khasab a red base accidentally ? I'll try the mission again tomorrow, more economically. But after all, this campaign is great. Finally some missions where I understand what is expected of me. I tried Raven One too, but after 2 missions flying around clueless, I just left that one alone. This is the best campaign I did so far. I'll be trying your other campaigns too after this !

Will the GBU-105 or one of the other CBU's with intelligent skeets come to the F-18 eventually ?

Yeah, I allways edit the .LUA's after an update. I know about that. But anyway, I ran a repair and everything is fine now. Well... the canopy and air-levers I still had to fix again. Maybe next time. I am starting to doubt if ED knows about this. They did some work to the P-51. Just not this ???

Don't know what you're talking about. I have never lost bindings after an update before. Sure, the canopy and air-controls I had to redo after each update, but nothing else. Yes, I think I will. Maybe run a repair first

EEhrmmm.... where are the brake-axis' ?

Right. So after the update of july 21th 2021 I was hopefull. I noticed the P-51 got some work done, and I expected the stupid bindings to finaly got fixed. So I eagerly tried it after the update, and I'm not sure what happened, but all the bindings are gone ! I always save the bindings, but this time they didn't reload. So I don't know how to take this. Does this mean they fixed the controls and losing all bindings is an unfortunate side-effect ? Because fixing the canopy and air-levers is not mentioned in the release notes. Or is this just the ultimate insult from ED to the P-51 buyers ? Anyway, I'll start working on rebinding everythiung again. *worried*

Right. Here is your trackfile then. Also the mission I used (Mariana) On the runway there is a bus I need to shoot, but first I have to kill 4 tanks and some buildings with JDAMS. After I see all of the JDAMS missing the tanks (can anyone explain what I did wrong there ???), I flip around and strafe the buss. You'll see all of the tracers go over it. On my second pas, the traces are on target again. After that I commit suicide out of frustration ! Test.miz FA-18 Gun too high.trk
