Has anyone else found that with lots of use the Warthog stick is losing its smooth action and getting a bit notchy. If so any solutiom to the problem?

I am just getting into multiplayer missions, but can't get F2 to show external views. As I got hit & had engine fire & damage it would have been good to see the effect externally. Am I doing something wrong, or are external views deactivated?

Since the 1.1.0.9 patch I have several little green crosses appear in the TGP. Can anyone tell me what they are?:huh:

Thanks guys. The HUD check is something new to me, so that may be the answer.

Is there any way of checking that having locked up a target with the TGP & TMS Fwd Long to make target SPI, that it has in fact made it the SPI. I have found that often it takes several TMS Fwd long's to make the target SPI & then when slaving the MAV the target will disappear from the TGP.

I just heard a broadcast re the Libyan conflict that said the use of Cluster Bombs was illegal under International rules. Is this so and if true, why do they feature in the loadouts? P.S. They 'aint half effective!

Thanks for the advice, which is the "ack" button?

On a quick mission I suddenly got a yellow warning message on the left MFDU that the right MFDU was inoperative. This was accompanied by a loud warning beeping. How do I clear the message and warning beeps? Pressing clear on the UFC didn't have any effect and I have searched the manual in vain.

Try 246 every frame. This cures flickering completely.

Yes, I would like to see the first column remain as it,s a real pain when you have pedals & the warthog controls + Goflight switches, to kepp switching back & forward to see which control you're working with.

Has anyone managed to contact Firefly? In the briefing it gives VHF FM 30 as the frequency, but in the mission it gives VHF AM 130. Neither enable contact! Just wondering if it's me he won't talk to.

Thanks for clearing that up Fred. The pdf makes the whole system understandable. Do you know if the DCS map has sufficient info to use the coordinates properly? regards Tony

Can anyone interpret for me the message giving location of enemy i.e. UTM38T NN0111195052. Does this refer to a map reference?

Thanks zdXu I'll try that

I have downloaded the "Detachment to Batumi" campaign and put the .miz and .cmp files in the missions/campaign folder, but the campaign does not appear when going to the campaign point in the initial screens. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

I meant, whilst in flight say, to switch to windows mode or down to the bottom tray as I want to be able to change the channel in Teamspeak without coming out of BS altogether.

Stupid sort of question I know but can anyone tell me the keyboard command to switch BS from full screen to windows.

I have just started using TS3 in online multiplayer. Other players seem to be able to change channels at will. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I have checked the TS forum to no avail.

I would like to try the illuminating rockets, but can't find S80-M's anywhere in the standard loadouts. How do I get them on board?

Can the Vikhr missiles be used at night. I find it impossible to get them to lock on. To get any sort of image on the target screen is almost impossible, despite trying every sort of playing with the brightness and contrast. Any good ideas re night attack procedures. The manual seems sadly lacking in advice,

Goflight switches I am using Goflight switches and autopilot very succesfully with BS. You need to download the GF Keys software and then the keys etc can represent any key combination.

Can anyone tell me what the following are, they aren't listed under weapons. A42,B820A, and UB-13.Thanks in anticipation of help.

As a multiplayer noobie I hope someone can assist. How do I get the chat box to appear so I can communicate. I have also downloaded Teamspeak. Do I log onto that before joining a multiplayer site, or is it after joining? Help much appreciated.:huh:

Noobie question! How do I put text messages on screen in multiplayer.

I had the same problem. If you haven't sorted it by now, be sure to run both Track IR and FC2 as administrator if on Windows7.
