Akiazusa

I just tried this mission,and looks like their is a small fleet in that area(In my run I saw at least 4 ships in the area,and ships in that fleet are in loose formation,every ships are like a few km away),with fog in that mission it's easy to miss the right ship........I almost missed it,when the "we got visual of u" message from frigate was triggered,I was flying passing a missile boat......but after circling around a bit more I eventually found the correct frigate with helipad...  are u sure u didn't miss the right ship in the bad weather? 
 
 

I don't think changing unit to Imperial is too unrealistic for mig29 as everything is the IRL GAF mig-29 manual is in Imperial unit.
I don't remember any other aircraft in DCS has this feature since it's a new feature for dcs.
u can change unit from Metric to Imperial in L39 if u set avionics language setting to English 
Some aircraft have limited ability to change unit,like A-10C using IFFCC manual u can change distant unit to Metric to better coordinate with army I guss,but everything else is still in Imperial regardless the setting. ka50 u can switch everything on ABRIS(which is like a more advanced NS430) to different unit,but unit for steam gauges and HUD will keep in Metric.
Also IIRC for FC3 version of Mig29, Mig29A and S are using Metric but Mig29G is using Imperial,but u have to switch aircraft to get that unit change.
(JF has a English cockpits since it's designed for export)

Sochi doesn't work for me either,odd...but for some airport it works,(I tried NDB in Maykop-Khanskaya)
 
But if u don't mind modding the game file a bit,I find a way to make the plate displaying things u manually entered.
 
First u need to delete line 152 and line 166 from ARK_MAIN_page.lua,but this file seems can't be packed into the .miz file,so modding the game file is needed.
(those 2 controllers seems keeps overriding what u entered from ark.lua using their own logic.) 
 
And here is my ARK.lua,u can pack it into the .miz file without touching the original game file.
ARK.lua
 
 

in my ark.lua,u could change the name and callsign(in red circle) to what ever u what and the plate in cockpit will display them.
for the beacon_id:(airfilexx_xx or world_xx),u can ignore them,I haven't figure out how to use them yet,and they don't seems affect anything for now
 
To edit ADF frequencies,use mission editor,change them to whatever u want(but no automatic update for the the ADF plate after modding),then u can manually change beacon "name" and "callsign" in my ark.lua to match them(or anything u want to be displayed on the plate) .(also u can try adding more functions to it,or merging those theatres into one section)
 
For Syria,I guess it's not called "syria" for lua variable,as "elseif theatre == 'Syria' then"  doesn't work for it,but when I change that to "else",things start working. 
 

iirc,u switch to IFA only if there is gps available so the GPS can keep updating ur INS position,since ur mission is in 1989,so no gps in ur mission,u need to keep it in NAV after alignment. But if it initialized as IFA mode for hot/inflight start by default in non-gps era I think that's a bit odd.

I recently noticed that if u do a pos fix before turning on the INS,u can change the SELF COOR to any position in the world,but in flight u can only do a pos fix within a certain range to the fix point(18km maybe?). So with this logic all things make sense to me now,just do a pos fix before turning on the INS powe...maybe a east and west design difference.

Hi,sorry for bringing up this topic again despite it's already reported.
But since the team is pushing the development of A-10C recently,is there any chance to let the team have a quick look of this issue.
 
It seems that in the A-10C_2\Cockpit\Scripts\clickabledata.lua or A-10C\Cockpit\Scripts\clickabledata.lua
The current content of the line 700 in both files are.
But most other lines related to similar buttons of UFC is ended with
for example:
 
So I tried adding the same "nil, nil, false" to the line 700,like this
 And this problem is gone. No more double spaces insert after the editing. It works both for A-10C and A-10C II.

Hi
I just tried it, and it works correctly for me.
Most of your steps seems fine,except "Go to the "attributes" page and switch to STEER mode to "TO-TO""
The TOTO/2D/VNAV you select on the attributes page only decides what default attributes will be used for you next new created waypoint,it won't change the attributes of existing waypoints
You may need to click into your flight plan page and click under each waypoint to make sure they are already in TO TO mode if you are in Flight plan mode
or you need to click into NAV-Waypoint page to make sure they are in TO TO mode if you are in MISSION mode
 
And also the attributes for a waypoint and "the same waypoint but in the flight plan" can be different,you need to check them both if you want to switch between FLIGHT PLAN and Missions.
 
I didn't fly the A-10C recently,but I used this function a lot back in the days ,also the VNAV function. I just tested both of them and they both works.

Normally the probe is powered by HYD2A
When using EMER position,it opens the emergency air refueling probe selector valve and the APU arming valve (which will connect the APU accumulator to it)and extends the probe with APU accumulator(which is pressured by HYD2B or a hand pump) . Retains all other functions as the EXTEND position.

Edit: Find it
 

Change this settings under ABRIS-MENU-OPTION-MAIN from AUTO to USER,both the flight path history line and flight time timer will reset,if you leave it to user the line and timer will immediately start counting/drawing,or you can change it back to AUTO,then they will restart conunting/drawing again once your aircarft start moving.
 
Hope you can find this useful.

IIRC,these 2 switches are the same,just for redundancy.   And you need to select a mode first before engageing the LAAP. So press 234 first then Q or A.

Did you apply the normal wheel brake while setting the parking brake?
On Apache you need to first apply wheel brake to let hyd pressure build and then set the parking brake to lock the pressure in. If you missed the first step,the parking brake handle may come out but no hyd pressure is locked in the pipe.
Also if you apply normal wheel brake after setting the parking brake,the parking brake will release automatically.
