  1. How silly now i read that back let me rephrase that... If i'm not mistaken, the tankers in DCS are bearing only on Y band and make sure to set TACAN to A-A, airfields give you both bearing and distance on X band
  2. How far away from the TACAN where you? If i'm not mistaken, TACAN doesn't give range information, if you are out of range, only a bearing
  3. As mentioned above, make sure the canopy is fully down by holding down the switch. If you have the engine still off, you can hear the actuator stop and thats when you release the switch In RL after the canopy closes, the hooks need to rotate to ensure a positive lock (i think thats DCS way of needing to hold the switch)
  4. I think Mavericks and boresighting is fairly simple and easy to use. If you hate it, its fine, you can use the Mavs without boresighting or use different weapons
  5. i reset both to be sure
  6. For those who have this issue, try this: I tried it a couple of times today and sometimes i have this issue where the missiles miss their target. My steps to "fix" this for now is to reset the INU under Util page of the TSD. Works 100%, all of my fired missiles hit their intended target after the reset
  7. It has a reason why they developed bombs like GBU-49 and GBU-54. If you want to be that accurate to take out a vehicle, use laser guidenance or a Maverick
  8. you need to wait until rpm gets to just over 20% and stabilize there and the SEC light goes out. After those 2 conditions are met, advance throttle to idle using Shift+Home
  9. try setting turbo mode to off in OpenXR, before removing headset
  10. Just flew around in Caucusus MP and couldn't hit anything with the L version
  11. Yes, i do use different programs as the stock ones are quite useless.
  12. I know we get DTC one day, but the way it is now, it's just clumsy and annoying, having to set CM every time we start up I mean while we wait for a DTC, ED could have made a temporarily solution like i mentioned above
  13. i wish ED can implement something like in theJF17, where you can set the programs in the "Special" tab under options. It's very easy and fast to use
  14. Yes, because you'll get a caution light as soon as you press the jettison button Only A/A missiles and center line tank are considered CAT I Any A/G stores and wing tanks are considered CAT III
  15. It was more intended for people who think that the F16 works in a similar matter, because Raven answered you that the system is partially implemented, this can lead people to think the F16 should give a tone aswell I know how the Mirage works, it was my first module years ago
  16. The F16 doesn't give you a warning tone, only a caution light
  17. That not what he said in his post. How can i know what he says, if he doesnt say what he means? Noone was talking about when, how or not to commit
  18. This is not true How exactly does briefing know, where the bandits are to be found in the entire airspace? Again this statement is not true See above, the pilot can change what he wants in order to find a target. There is no "magic" setting which works every time to see everything and anywhere on the scope
  19. Tgp won't slave in CCIP at your target, regardless of the bombing profile. TGP will only slave to a SPI, which you don't have in CCIP mode. You have to be in CCRP to do so and if you designate a target on the radar, you can also use the "TGT" button on the MFD showing the radar page to slew the TGP onto the target You can set CCIP or CCRP in any profile by pressing NWS button or set it by pressing the corresponding button on the MFD when it is showing the SMS page
  20. looks good, but the price is way to much
  21. You should ask Lockheed Martin that question.... Like i said some Blocks DO have that feature And if you are pulling 8 G's, you shouldn't be pushing any puttons
  22. I think you interpret OP's post wrong It's not about not being able to cycle between scans. It's about how to... You can select different TWS scan modes, but not using cursor control on some Blocks of the F-16. If you want a different scan zone in TWS, you need to use th MFD buttons, while in RWS you can bump the cursor to either side of the screen
  23. All of the above... And don't rearm/refuel as you are aligning. It will mess things up
  24. You haven't aligned the flight path marker with the bomb fall line... Of all the modules in DCS from which you can drop a GBU, only the F-16 has this most annoying "feature"
  25. Captive missiles come in all sort of flavors. The ones you saw at airshows are definitly not live missiles.... I think the Israeli bird you refering to (picture here above), is on a training mission with live bombs. That would make sense as why he is carrying captive missiles
