Hello! I bought the shark the other day and are using DCS-BIOS for some buttons I've mounted on the base of my X45 throttle. I noticed that the targeting mode reset button doesn't work. It's being pressed in the cockpit but the button LED doesn't light up and nothing happens. O googled it and found an old and closed bug report on github that mentioned something about DCS not exporting this correctly (https://github.com/dcs-bios/dcs-bios/issues/96). This was written in December 2019 and since it obviously still doesn't work I thought I should write about it here. Hope you guys can fix this.

And another thing I've noticed is that it takes only a single sweep with the radar to detect clear tracks even on great distances. I'm pretty sure it takes more than that to process the echoes, filter out false positives and present the track on the radar screen.

Interesting thoughts! Since this is a game and not a professional simulator it's unrealistic to expect a detailed and accurate radar model, especially since radar performance data is as classified as it gets. And I also know that line of sight calculations are complicated stuff that require quite some computing power. With that said, I have been thinking about what makes this different from the visual representation and if the logic behind this would be applicable to radar as well. I mean, look at an object inside a bunker from above and all you see is the roof of that bunker. Obviously there's logic that masks out the object inside the bunker, so shouldn't it be possible to use that logic to mask out the object for the radar as well?

This has probably nothing to do with this aircraft, but enemy fighters have sometimes been able to lock on to me while I'm standing inside a bunker hangar. I spawn, turn on the rwr and suddenly get lethal warnings. This is obviously not a correct behavior, but the question is what's causing it? The most logic explanation IMHO is unrealistic radar models on other aircraft, rather than a problem with the RWR on the FA-18. That's a passive system that detects radar beams and there shouldn't be any radar beams to detect inside a bunker. Have anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts?

I would also like to know how this is supposed to work. I'm not able to talk to other players unless I have the "Mic to human players" enabled. If disabled, "TR" just flashes in the SRS window and no one can hear me. Seems to me that the channels used for communication among players are recognized as "AI channels"

Mapping HOTAS button in combination with pinky I have an old Saitek X45 and have mapped the "Mouse cursor" on the throttle to TX1-4 in VoiceAttack. For the A-10C module I have also mapped it to the Slew control in combination with the pinkie switch. The problem I hope someone can help me solve is that the PTT function is activated regardless of the pinkie switch being pressed or not. When mapping buttons in VoiceAttack there's an option to activate only if no other buttons are pressed and I thought that would do the trick, but it didn't. This means that when I slew something and release the button I get the audio notification from VAICOM. I could simply turn this off, but I think it's a nice feature so hopefully someone here can help me solve the issue.
