  1. Wingmen, A bit confused. When I switch to cannons in a run, then try to switch back to outer or inner weapons stations my KA-50 seems to want to stay on cannons. I've gone back and read the manual, checked switches, hit reset on the weapons control panel, undesignated target, hit the "Y" and "I" buttons too. Once in cannons I just seem to be stuck with them. I do have rockets and missiles left, just can't seem to figure out what I'm not doing right to switch back. Any thoughts ? Thanks & Semper Fidelis AldoUSMC
  2. Player AFAC / FAC-A Capability :idea: Would like to be able to perform duties as FAC-A (Forward Air Controller- Airborne) or AFAC as described in DCS BS. Ability to call in rotary wing and fixed wing Close Air Support on a target or Cannon/Rocket Artillery or ship based fires onto a target or target area. Maybe I could target something with the Shkval and send that target data link to a firing battery through the "\" key menu as a possible solution/option to direct AI aircraft/naval gunfire ships/ground weapons.... Also, the editor currently has available the S-8TsM (target marker) rocket in the B-8V20 pods so it's already modeled (though 40 smoke rounds may be too much/excessive so maybe add a load out option for two 7-round B-8V7 pods with S-8TsM rockets loaded). The S-8TsM also could also aid in marking targets for wingmen or ground units within visual range of the S-8TsM smoke if a flag or rule could be created that "if a unit fires S-8TsM rockets other friendlies within visual range engage that area or specifically search that area for targets to engage." I understand that AI craft can be given the AFAC/FAC-A mission right now...just need to implement Player's ability to be FAC-A now it would seem...
  3. Has the DCS Black Shark Map/World been put into Adobe PDF format or some other format that it can be printed out to use in planning for a mission or in Mission Design ? If so, where can it be downloaded from ? If not, ED/GCS, can you put one out for us ? Thanks Aldo
  4. Bingo ! Running ATI Radeon X1650 AGP w 512 mb on Windows XP Home. Rolled drivers back from Catalyst 9x to 8.12 and the screens all look correct now...no missing wall paper now and the names of the startup screen buttons are there. Thanks for the tip.
