  1. I had a look at it, thanks. I just removed the 3 files from the zip folder, I hope it won't induce too many issues. At least integrity check is sweet now.
  2. Hi, I keep having this warning regarding intergrity check. I never touched or modified the Su-27 in any ways. I tried a repair with no effect. Once afte ran update it disappeared but then came back quickly. Any idea? Thanks
  3. OK sorry to keep trying to convince you are moving the wrong way. But here is the thing: that switch IS a wheel. A wheel needs... an AXIS to turn around... Turning it forward makes your radar go down. Turning it upwards make your radar go up. Whether it is thanks to 2 buttons or thanks to a potentiometer on an axis, who cares? Moreover most simulation throttles have a radar elevation wheel. On my cougar that wheel works exactly as the one on the Mirage 2000C. When I want to stop looking up I have to come back to the neutral position. Nobody will ever give us a compatible M2000C throttle. Nobody will ever make a wheel with 2 buttons. So the question is: What is more realistic knowing what's available for players? Letting the players use a wheel that exists and that really really looks like what's in the plane? Or having them to chose 2 random buttons that have nothing to do with radar elevation control, and that isn't even close from the feeling you have in the plane? La question elle est vite répondue... So please at least consider giving people the option to reverse to the old axis logic for radar elevation.
  4. If that number 8 wheel is now called "2 buttons", I have to disagree. Too bad.
  5. It's really strange because the M2000's throttle has a radar elevation axis... How do you work on your elevation now? Binding it with voice attack is fine for small changes, but otherwise it's really painful... Please make it a high priority issue...
  6. Hi, Orange RVT VOL light should be on as soon as the RVT switch is on DAY or NIGHT, and not only when fuel is transferring. On the ground, the light is also on when the ground crew make a refuel, which is not the logic with that light. Thanks
  7. That's the SOP Bingo level that's set up when you take the plane. The logic is that it's also the empty tanks fuel. When Bingo is ringing at 2.8T you know that your tanks are empty and that you start using internal fuel. And yes I know that internal fuel is 3.1T, but between 2.8 and 3.1 you can still have fuel in the tanks. In general you BV lights light up at 2.8 and then the fuel gauge is starting to descend continuouseley. Not yet solved...
  8. "Pinky switch" on US sticks is what's the closest from that paddle. I thinks it works quite well. But you have to get rid of the habit of pressing it when switching plane...
  9. Hi. On some M2000 there is a "parallel navigation" thing. If you are in a weapon mode the INS update is only taken into account during the attack and it's lost after. I'm not 100% sure it's what you are describing, but it could be. Best method is to do an "out of mode" INS update 5 minutes before the initial, and then an "in mode" INS update on the initial point. The advantage is that your waypoint cue in your HUD will be close to the actual point, thus making the visual acquisition easier and more precise, this making the attack itself more precise...
  10. Nice to know. I was about to purchase it but cockpit interaction is a must for me in VR. I'm going to five it a try for 2 weeks and I'll see, but coming from the F18 or M2000 I hope it won't be a disappointment...
  11. Thanks you Rudel_chw, you saved my day!!!
  12. Hi there, A remark of secondary importance. When starting-up "dark and cold", there could be some slight improvements easily done to make it perfect: - when battery is put "on", there should be a blink of "T7" and "CALC" lights before they go dark. It's a self test of the engine CALC I believe. - then within a 30" delay CC should light up (around 15" in theory). I've seen the CC light up after what seems to be a random time but far after 60" delay. And when you cut off the battery and put it back on, the CC timer has to run again, while for now the CC light stays on. - TRANSF light should be on when engine is down. - after engine start-up, I've seen that TF and HYDS pressure on the bottom gauge remain stuck at their "engine down" values instead of going up... Thanks
  13. It's true between 500 and 1000'. At 250' or 150' you'll take no clearance.
  14. Yes that's the way it's working IRL. On more modern M2000 you can check actual coordinates on MFD.
  15. Bingo sound is almost always acknowledged instantly because it's annoying. It's the reason why you never hear it long on video. It is obvious that it will go on as long as you don't stop it, otherwise people might forget it. You can even find in student pilots's manual the advice to lower the bingo level before landing to avoid being disturbed by the continuous bingo sound during landing.
  16. Hi, Sorry to come on that again, but Bingo sound is still not working properly. The sound should not only ring once, but should keep on ringing until you either acknowledge it by pressing the amber alarm repeater, or by decreasing your bingo fuel setting. Thanks
  17. Hello, How is your project going on? Thanks
  18. Pilots are taught that a mixed configuration triggers a SNA error, but I have never seen by myself the effect of an unauthorised TAM code on the SNA (navigation and attack system, i.e. plane's computer) since nobody really "plays" with this type of things. TAM code is preset by the ground crew before flight, and the pilot's task is to check that a correct code has been set during the preflight check. Therefore you virtually never see an incorrect TAM code on the plane. For sure some have tried in the early days, but after some times it becomes a truth that nobody tries to challenge anymore... In any case I would suggest to remain on the old model of "no mixed configuration" for realism purpose.
  19. Hi, I would say that it's slightly more complicated than that. There is an official list of "opened" configuration for each aircraft type. In order to allow a given configuration, the aircraft builder has to do some flight tests, and garantee that the aircraft's behavior will be in accordance to what is expected by the customer. Moreover, for each configuration, performance charts have to be determined (take-off distance, maximum cross-wind, climb rate, fuel consumption, etc...). An additional work has to be done to ensure that on release, weapons will not cause harm to the aircraft itself or surrounding ordonance (ex: check that no gun shell link might hit a bomb under fuselage when firing air to ground gun). For this reason, the limited set of available configurations are officially written on the "performance" part of the aircraft manuel, called UCB 110-02. And I believe with a fairly high confidence that no mixed configuration is authorized in the Mirage 2000C's UCB 110-02...
  20. Hi, Sorry to post in there so late, but there is indeed an issue with the HUD indication and dorianR666 is actually right: the "tiny house" should be on the right side in this case. You always turn in the direction of the reticule to get the shortest way to the waypoint. Eg: if you fly with the waypoint on your right, when you cross the 90° line the reticule with go from "up right" to "down right"... Tks
  21. Well, that's when the plan has gone so f****ed up that it's your last option. Otherwise it's carefully planned and no one will tank out if the plan without at least a commanding authority's approval.
  22. Hello, Could we have the BE's coordinate automatically inserted in the briefing page when a BE exists? It would be a great help when it has not been written on the briefing page or inserted on the flight plan. Thanks
  23. Nice! Tks
  24. I'm just asking because same mode on another M2k variant has everything similar, unless for the aiming point which is in the middle of the salvo... So maybe it's worth checking with your SME.
  25. Hi, Could you check if the CCIP aim point shouldn't be at the middle of the salvo instead of the beginning of it? Thanks
