Flying out of Krasnador way inland, about 30km - target also drifted almost half a mile to the left of the F10 marker. Flying straight out of Khasab on the Gulf map, straight over the sea towards Qeshm Island the BK90 hit exactly on target, no drift. Is the black sea strangely magnetic? If ternav doesnt work over black sea water it certainly doesnt stop it in the gulf map!

So I ran a few more tests - mini SP missions from differnt airbases in Caucases map, same issues, takeoff hot from runway, BK90 explodes 3-500yds left or right of target mark. Doesnt happen in the gulf. ternav got up to 3 when taking off from Krasnador but out of Batumi it stays at 1 or 2. Very strange.

Im taking off from Batumi heading west over the sea then turning northeast, staying at about 450m alt. Ternav never gets abouove 10 or 20. When I fly north out of khasab with all those mountains around the airport it goes to 50 straight after takeoff. Does anyone ever need to set or check magnetic declination? Is that an influence at all? How about cold start vs hot on parking vs hot on runway? Would that have any influence?

Thanks for your comprehensive answer. However, this is strange as other threads have posted about TerNav issues on the Caucasus map, and a potential bug from a caucasus update (which seems like years ago now...). So I did some more testing on the Gulf map using exact same procedure. I leave wind off as I dont need to introduce another variable at this stage. It seems I get no problem setting up the BK90's to hit a ground target via F10 map marker in the Gulf, when I do same process in Caucases they miss by a few hundred yards and the CK37 last 2 digits only ever get to 10 or 20. In the gulf it goes to 50 straight away?

Is this still a Caucasus map bug? I get no problem setting up the BK90's to hit a ground target via F10 map marker in the Gulf, when I do same process in Caucases they miss by a few hundred yards and the CK37 last 2 digits only ever get to 10 or 20. In the gulf it goes to 50 straight away?

only about 3 kts wind. Not familiar yet with ternav or fixing on a std waypoint, i was using a grim reapers video to get a quik and simple way of using the clusters standoff via f10 map marker. If you have any pointers to the processes you mention above, I'd be most grateful.

Can anyone help - what am I doing wrong? Load up the BK90's, set a target on the F10 map and import wp's into data cartridge, release cue about 7-8km out, at 450m alt, doing mach 0.85, but each time the bombs detonate a few hundred metres right of the target location? I tried realigning compass with runway, I set QFE according to target alt and the equation, I even checked magnetic variation was corrent for the map. Am I missing something?

Really awesome! I got a full farp from a 3-crate Herc drop, I can use CTLD to load troops but the farp isnt supplied with fuel or ammo

Stand-alone

What is the minimum distance from origin where your crates can be unloaded & unpacked, or troops dropped?

i did a repair and restart, it was definitely fubar on mine, the R&R fixed it so I see radar tracks again on missions and the tutorials, and can lock up as intended, using the tms-up.

im just running back over the aim-120 tutorial but i cannot for the life of me get tms-up (or right) or anything else to lock on to the radar targets

TMS switch up - should that also lock radar cursor slew to air targets for Aim-120's? (as I cannot get mine to work)

Great work on the skin! This is the sign of good fortune and prosperity in India, (not sure about elsewhere) I was a bit shocked when I first travelled there to see backwards-swastikas painted on the sides of walls and buildings, and gateways to factories.

Well spotted, you may be right there, I will work on a revised one to compare in-game - sorted!

Donald Sherman Archer (aka RAF_Yank) served in the Army Air Forces/Corps from 1942 till 1963. Don was born August 30, 1922 in Carp Lake, Michigan to Henry and Lillian Marie Archer. During World War II he served in combat in the 493rd Fighter Squadron, 48th Fighter Group, Ninth Air Force and completed 89 missions, starting at Utah Beach in France and ending in Germany. He was decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal and also was decorated by the Belgian government for his fighting above the Battle of the Bulge. Later he spent several Air Force years in Peru, Brazil and Nicaragua. He graduated from San Jose State University and became the President of Harry L. Murphy Inc. Carpets of San Jose, CA. He married Winifred Graf at the Mission in Carmel, CA. This skin is a tribute to Don Archer from his virtual flying friends and colleagues of RAF622 Squadron, he flew with board numbers I7 * L This skin was ported into DCS at request of his friend and colleague, Jens Voigt (RAF_Loke) as a fitting tribute to Don, his military service and camaraderie in the virtual skies following retirement from active service.

Ive shelved the pico HID controller for now, got another Teensy LC which only took me an hour to get reprogrammed and wired up as controller for the button matrix + rotaries. Not enough clarity for me with the pico at the moment, prob due to my lack of programming knowledge. After severaI hours I could get the rotaries working in circuitpython but not the button matrix or the usb interface. After several more hours I could get the button matrix working in Micropython but notht erotary encoders or the USB interface. I took ages to get C implemented but thats also lacking some libraries at the moment I need - like USB, Joystock, Rotary. I'll come back to it when theres a few more people who can share a similar working example with me.

Can someone explain the logic behind the Harrier bort numbers please? I enter 123, for example, it appears on the nose as 21 and on the tail as 132. Whats going on there?

Sadly thats much more than just replacing a texture file, the gauge will be programmed to rotate one full circle for every 1000 metres and in feet you'd need it to rotate 3.277 times

Took me a lot of digging around and hours of frustration to find the micropython code and circuitpython dont yet support rotary encoder programming on the pico yet, and getting it running in C/C++ with the SDK is a real pain, even for the experienced. (which I'm not). Python on other boards doesnt run like micropyuthon on the pico, it seems. Just not been out long enough yet to get better user support and exampe apps running.

I need to look into this, but have come across an issue since I have two teensy2 boards and i cant change 1 without the other copying

Renaming both in DCS World is no problem, you can call all your controllers anything you like, my hotas stick and pedals pay homage to Bert & Ernie off Sesame Street, but outside of DCS these renamings are invisible to Windows. Within Arduino I cannot see where/how I can rename it, it just seems to adopt the default USB keyboard, mouse & joystick controller. Since both Teensy boards used are identical, just the config & number of buttons + rotary encoders differ, windows sees then as the same item.

I have 2 home made custom button boxes on usb for DCS, both run off Teensy2 microcontroller, windows sees them both as 'Button Box'. For a few reasons I want to be able to rename one of them so I can tell which one is which, in key bind configs and in windows. I went into Regedit to change the name of one of them then found the name change had been applied to both - windows sees them both as identical (but they have differnt configurations). Is there any way I can change one name and not the other so windows reports them differently?

If its easy to program, the big advantage apart from it being much cheaper is the pico has many more pins available so you can add more rotary encoders up to the Windows limit of 32 switches. /edit: not easy for me to program, it prefers micropython and I have zero experience with that
