A bit late to the party, but... yes please

Hey all, I was wondering - there are plenty of memoirs from the cold war era (or later) from US, british, israeli and even south african aviators, but are there any such books from the eastern bloc (or any other nation using soviet jets) in english? I am open to any suggestions. I favour digital books since bookdepository closed.

Just ordered one and I am curious about how do you use the mode dial.

Any new info or update on these?

The fix has been released with today's open beta update.

Ah, yes, that must be it, thank you!

Yes, that was the first thing I checked. But the INS mode wouldn't explain the HUD mode change.

Hey all, I need a bit of help. Sometimes my HUD becomes a bit strange after the cold start. And by strange I mean it looks like it is zoomed in, and there is a small cross below the center. If I take off then the waypoint information is also missing. I am sure I misclick something but I have no idea where :-) Tried the spec mode depress but didn't help. If I restart the mission, everything is fine. Here is a screenshot. Of course it looks funny because I leaned forward to get a better picture of it... Any idea what is this?

Just ran into this yesterday in the tutorial. First Magic II launched fine, but couldn't launch the second. Locked the second target 3 times without success.

Update - I've checked with TacView - the L-39 pair spawn at the mission start; then they immediately descend to 16 500 feet. But the radio hint says: "WP4: 2x L-39, hostile, 25 000 feet", and I was following in blindly... :-)

Hey all, I picked up the Mirage 2000C module a year ago, and went through the tutorials until M10, and can't remember any problems, I was doing just fine (okay, with the low vis landing maybe not so fine at first :-D). Then I stopped for more than a year since I didn't have time to play. I installed the game 2 weeks ago, and decided to redo the tutorials to re-familiarize myself with the module. My problems are with the radar operation tutorial. First I found the 2 Mirages, but couldn't cage them (radar was in HFR mode, and double-checked my control settings). Restarted the game and the scenario, and now it worked fine. I flied to WP4 but couldn't find the L-29 pair. I've spent half an hour circling around it, playing with the radar settings, but nothing. Restarted the scenario, same story. My speed was around 300 knots, at angels 25. Tried HFR and INT modes, tried to change the radar elevation, didn't matter, couldn't find them. Then I turned to WP5 and able to find the F-16 pair after circling around again for more than 5 minutes, but I was unable to cage any of them, they didn't react to IIF, and once they disappeared from the radar screen, I couldn't find them again around the waypoint. I gave up at this point. I don't remember having these problems a year ago. I am using the latest stable version of DCS World (2.5.5). What did I miss? If nothing, do you have any advice finding those L-29s?
