Is there an equation or something to reference to determine what I should set for bingo?

I have two questions about fuel. First is fuel is burning while I’m waiting for jester to finish. Can I call up ground crew to refuel me? Second is about bingo fuel. What’s a good number to set bingo fuel on?

I watched the video. It looks like it would work great on one site but not multiple sites in different distances.

I guess I’ll need to figure out how to create those circumstances in a mission editor. One of the missions built already when installing has me flying though like 7 or 8 missile sites which is impossible. There are just tomcats no hornets. I choose to engage my wingman to engage air defenses and he says running in but I don’t see hm do anything.

How does that work exactly?

Any tips on how to avoid and destroy SAM sites with the tomcat? There are no HARMS so that is out of the question. Would the LANTIRN work? I’m thinking’s it’s too low and range is way too close to destroy without being shot down. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I watched that several times last night. Still having a hard time. He gets a white box automatically when it picks up a heat signature but I have to slew to find it. Put it in point mode. I’m not sure if it’s full action button that locks on. It’s all new to me. I’m doing it from the Mod in the pilot position.

I have found a target on my LANTIRN pod. How do I lock onto a target and laser? I’m not sure what buttons I need mapped for that process.

Is there a way to choose smoke instead of the full/abbreviated or just red dot for ground targets?

Can I do mission editor after the mission has started? It loads quick scenarios. Only has guns. I tried the dogfight scenario and all I had was guns.

How come when I try either instant or create mission I never have an weapons when airborne? Of course can’t load any either until I land.

Yes. I saw the bombs fall off. They just didn’t explode when they hit the ground. It was weird.

Yeah I got it. She’s a beast. Hard to fly her. Way different from the hornet.

Oh sorry. That’s for the F-14B. I didn’t see you were referring to F/A 18.

Will DCS update the tomcat evdn though hearblur is developer or how will we update?

DLC TOGGLE/ Countermeasure Dispense in controls. I have mine mapped to my stick.

What causes a flat spin and how do I prevent it)

Ok that worked. Thank you.

I have A/P Ref lit up.

No. The actual switch

I have autopilot engaged and Alt hold selected but the aircraft doesn’t level out. It’s either in a climb or descent. Of course can’t trim since aircraft is suppose to be holding.

I have it assigned to my throttle. Is that something else?

My jester menu won’t go away. I’m watching the track and it is constantly on the screen. I’m trying to take screenshots but can’t with that menu in the way.

How to I recover from a flat spin. It seems like as soon as I get into one there is no hope.

Well that will help response time. I can’t even get through mission 1. Get to waypoint 2 then its SAM launch. I’m suppose to be CAP so no bombs. Enemy Planes are long distance from me. AWACS tells allies pop up groups so they get chance to take them out.
