  1. Me too. Normandy 2 is still installed and functional, but the new module badge is up on the start screen, and the "install" fails.
  2. Found the other thread on this issue. My problem was assigning TACAN 71X to a carrier which is already in use on the map.
  3. Totally agree. This seems like a step down in build quality. The original gear and hook levers had sturdy metal shafts and the original hook handle appears to be a solid casting. The new ones seem very flimsy; they ship with stickers on them stating "Don't commit acts of violence, or it will cause the switch column to brake" (yes, that really is the quote). So apparently winwing considers them fragile straight out of the box. The cool new handles (Parking Brake, Wing Fold, and also Hook) are all hollow plastic and open on the back which you feel every time you move them. The case has been downgraded from metal to plastic, and all the new stuff has a light duty, toy like, feel. Positives: The metal switches still feel solid and SimAppPro seems to sync the lights well with the Hornet module. Overall I far prefer the original combination of PTO 1 and Combat Ready Panel.
  4. Have downgraded to "Simplified Gear Lever" in DCS Special Options until they get a chance to fix this.
  5. Running in to the same problem here. I do have a previously saved mission with Gun Camera removed, and that still works as desired. As a work around I was able to copy paste that jet into a new mission successfully.
  6. Same issue here. Have had undampend yaw oscillations triggered by firing a missile or jumping into a wingman aircraft.
  7. Same issue here. The HUD RWR symbols are particularly annoying since they overlap creating a bright green blob.
  8. A three position flap switch keybind would be appreciated.
  9. That looks good. I'm looking at trying to attach the winwing MIP to my monstertech. What mods did it require?
  10. Your DCS flight model feels great. One of the best ones in the sim. I'm assuming airspeed is the accurate indicator. Do you guys recommend just disregarding AOA for now and flying reference airspeeds?
  11. I read in another thread that random startup loading for TACAN, VOR, preset radial on HSI and altimeter setting is a feature. It is not an accurate feature. In an analog aircraft like the MB-339 the radios are set where the last guy left them. The last guy did not set the radios to some random airfield 700 miles away, he left them where they were when he landed. E.G. CDI set to the runway he landed on, TACAN/VOR set to field he landed at, radio tuned to ground or squadron ops freq. Now, your squadron may have a policy to zero out certain settings to force the next guy to look at them, but even in that case, under no circumstances, would the policy be to randomize the cockpit. Things that should/could be random: - Altimeter - Accelerometer (good chance zeroed by last crew or maintenance) - Transponder (good chance zeroed by last crew per sop) Things that should be set to local field: - TACAN/VOR - CDI (any plausible runway for aircraft type. So, semi-random) - VHF/UHF (for the purposes of DCS) tower IndiaFoxtEcho already does with with the flaps and speedbrake. The last guy left them full and out, so that's where they are.
  12. Compass indicating 360° out is a serious problem IRL too. Think that's gonna get marked "correct as is".
  13. Yeah, you can definitely deal with it once you notice it. You just have to remember when at cruise altitude watching your altimeter instantaneously jumping up and down by 1000ft that your are at the higher altitude. I have no idea which is correct for the MB-339 either. I haven't noticed this behavior on any other analog drum type altimeters in DCS before. I'm pretty sure those are actual physical drums with numbers painted on them being rotated mechanically. I don't believe they jump instantaneously, both for mechanical reasons, as well as the obvious clarity implications of having an instrument with 1000ft error. Maybe the Italians have a different system.
