Hi, I don't know if this has been answered before but I found that for the Generic radar tower there is no entry in the sensors.lua file located in \Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech\SAMSitesAssetPack\Database\Sensors I added these lines and now it works perfectly with skynet IADS once the 2SAP assets are added in the appropriate lua file of the skynet IADS: ----Addition of Generic radar tower as EWR GENERIC_RADART = { Name = "EWR Generic radar tower", category = SENSOR_RADAR, type = RADAR_AS, scan_volume = { azimuth = {-180.0, 180.0}, elevation = {-15.0, 60.0} }, max_measuring_distance = 600000.0, detection_distance = { [HEMISPHERE_UPPER] = { [ASPECT_HEAD_ON] = 500000.0, [ASPECT_TAIL_ON] = 500000.0 }, [HEMISPHERE_LOWER] = { [ASPECT_HEAD_ON] = 500000.0, [ASPECT_TAIL_ON] = 500000.0 } }, lock_on_distance_coeff = 0.6, multiple_targets_tracking = true, velocity_limits = { radial_velocity_min = 25.0, }, scan_period = 10.0, } declare_sensor(GENERIC_RADART) ----END Addition I used the data from the 1L119 Nebo-SVU as I didn't had any other reference. Feel free to contact me if you have any other reference that can adjust the 'Generic radar tower' Hope this helps, Amedee PS: if someone is interested in adding EWR from 2SAP into skynet IADS I have the code to add in the correct lua file.

Bonjour, Dans le fichier ZIP de la version 4.5 je n'ai pas la partie pour Combined arms. Je n'ai pas de version antérieur pour récupérer les fichiers manquants. Matt

News on this matter... I switched from stable version (Steam) to open beta and the call sign on the F/A-18C came back as normal. seems to be a problem related with the stable Steam version (for me). Hope this helps Best regards, Amedee

After verifying my install with steam, I created a new mission with the F-15C and the callsign were back. Once I changed the aircraft from F-15C to F/A-18C in the same mission, it went back to numbers in stead of the callsign (5 1 1 iso Dodge 1 1). Seems definitely related to the Hornet. Best regards,

I have a steam edition, last night I launched the verify process from steam, this morning, all files were validated. Relaunched DCS without any MOD installed, and still no joy with callsign (8 2 1 iso Pontiac 2 1) I have also the F15C, I will try tonight to set up a mission to see if it is related only to the F/A-18C or not as stated above. best regards

Dear fellow pilots, I found the solution in the NATOPS document ref: A1-F18AC-NFM-000 dated 15 September 2008. at page I-2-37, paragraph 2.5.4.2 External power switches "Four ground power switches are provided on the ground power panel (figure 2-10) on the left console. Each controls a group of systems and/or instruments (listing is on a placard above the panel) and prevents operation of the systems/instruments on external power, unless the switch is placed to the ON position." On page I-2-38, Figure 2-10. Ground Power Panel and Placard, it is clearly noted that switch 2 must be on position B to energise the UHF 1 and 2 and the UFC. All three other switches are to be positioned in position A, then you can use the radio's without engines running. Problem solved Thank you

Dear Fellow pilots, Earlier, I used the Tactical Call Sign Mod Version 1.1, but as many out of you already know, this mod don't work anymore since there were changes in the communication logic in one of the last update of DCS 2.5. Although, I removed the mod from my install but even without the MOD installed, my call sign name ( ie. Enfield) is replaced by a number corresponding to its place in the list in the lua file (ie 1 for enfield and 8 for Pontiac). The weirdest thing is when I use a stock mission the call signs work perfectly, when I download a mission from a user, callsigns work to but as soon as I change something in the mission or create a mission by myself through the Mission editor, the callsign is replaced by a number making it (1, 1, 1 clear for take off iso Enfield 1 1 clear for take off). Do you know guys how I can revert to the initial situation with call signs working even when I use the ME? I start thinking to reinstall my entire DCS but I don't know which files will remain ( ie logbook, etc) and which files do I have to save before uninstall / reinstall process. Thank you for your helpful feedback

Dear fellow pilots, I din't managed to use the ARC-210 radios without the engines running. I tried with the battery master switch in ON and OVR position without luck. I tried also with the external electric power (ON) and all 4 external power switches to on, with same results. Both DDI's and the AMPCD are coming live but not the UFC, what am I doing wrong ? In some missions we have to ask for startup clearance, but as the ARC-210's are not usable without engines running, it is hard to comply with the startup instruction. Thank you for your helpful feedback.

Dear All, My mistake, I don't know why I thought I had to first pull (mouse wheel) and the turn the handle, but you were right, I have to rotate the handle in PARK position, then pull with the mouse wheel. Sorry again, Amedee

Hi Reaper 51, Thanks for your reply, my handle is in the vertical position (pushed in), in the vertical position I pull it out with the mouse wheel, but after that I can't rotate it either way (right/left mouse button), this is only after the last update, before that, it was working fine. I tried with anti-skid on and off but with same result. best regards, Amedee

Hi there, Since last update of the F/A-18, I am unable to use mouse wheel , Right/left button to use the PARK/EMERG brake. I can pull the lever with the mouse wheel, but the right.left buttons don't work to engage the brake. Does anybody has the same problem ? Didn't change any key/ button assignments since last update. Thanks for your help. Amedee
