I just purchased the Harrier and I am having a tough time landing especially carrier landings. First controlling the harrier is a chore. Once I get near the carrier and have my nozzles in the 82 deg position the harries starts to sway like a hammock totally un controllable. It starts to rise no matter how much trimming I use and eventually drops into the sea. Controlling the speed is also a huge issue. I have watched all the videos on this subject and practiced continuously but can't get even close to landing the plane. It would be great if there was a step by step training video like the one for the f-18 that demonstrates all the sequences involved in the landing of the plane especially how to apply the trimming. If anyone has any suggestion or comments as to what I am doing wrong and why the plane starts to sway would be appreciated.

Hi. Regarding The DCE campaign for f-18, and F-14 I read the pdf file and was able to figure out the installation. After that I was lost. I find a lot of these instructions are difficult to understand by newbies such as me. Are we supposed to make changes to the scrip file and what are the changes that we have to make. The PDF File is not to clear. Remember I am a newbie so please in plain English so I can understand. Also when I start the game I get the message " sanatizemodule ("os";) in missionscripting.lua has not been disabled. Mission results will not be accounted and campaign will not progress." How do I disable this module or fix this error.. Thank you.

harrier carrier take off On some Harrier missions Pin point strike day my Harrier on take off is positioned right at the edge of the take off ramp. I am to heavy for a vertical take off and not enough runway to for a conventional take off. Now when I watch the video on you tube for the same mission the plane is positioned back on the runway so he has ample room to take off. I have tried positioning the plane in different parking spots in Mission editor but when I start the the mission the plane always winds up at the edge of the runway. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this. Thanking you in advance.

Ok Thanks.

Hi On some missions I keep getting the error message "this mission is newer than the editor. use at your own risk" Can anyone tell me what that means since my game is automatically updated. I was under the impression I had the newest editor. Thanks

F-18 Catapult Launce problem Ok I put the launch bar switch up which got rid off the green light but the plane still will not be launched. Now if I change it to takeoff runway in mission editor it takes off fine. Now this is only happening in Operation Exigent Riviera mission 2.

Thank you for your reply. I guess the only way to not let it happen is keep plane steady and not over "g" it. Thanks again.

I am a newbie trying to figure out all the problems I am having with the different aircraft I own. In the F14 I have occasional VDI problems. Usually during a dogfight but at time just in regular flight the VDI will change to the black screen and I pretty well loose all my weapon functionality. Can anyone explain to me why this happens and how to prevent this from happening. Thanks.

Ok Thanks everyone. I will try the suggestions.

The F-18 doesn't have a salute. It works in every other mission except Operation Exigent Rivera mission 2. Now I was fooling around in mission editor trying to make it more mission friendly for me and I must have clicked something I shouldn't have.

Hello I am having trouble launching my F-18 from the catapult. I engage the throttle to full and the plane just sits there. There is a green light with the word Lbar on it but on external view the launch bar looks like it is hooked up properly. I had no trouble launching before and I am wondering if I am doing something different or forgetting to do something. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you. Be safe.

Just need some info. Right now I am using the The Thrustmaster T16000M Hotas. I want to up grade my flight stick to Thrustmaster F A 18 Grip Flight Stick. I do realize that this is a grip add on and you need the plate to attach it to. But my question is can I use the F-18 flight stick with the T16000m Throttle? I just want to know if the throttle and flight stick will work together. Thank you.

Yeah it has happened to me. I just quit and go back in. I figured it is a combination of keys that you press that gets you there. I just haven't figured out which ones.

Comms & Runway Got a question. I am a newbie so be patient. First I cannot communicate with my wingman. The radio is on and set to VHF 135.00 mhz. But they do not respond. Can communicate with the awacs and tower but not my Flight. Also when I request taxy to runway they tell me to taxy to runway 10. Kish runways are numbered 27L and 27R and 60L and 60R. Also when I come in for a landing I am told to use runway 28. No Runway 28 only 27L and 27R and 60L and 60R. Can someone explain this.

Ok thanks Seldo I will give it a try.

Hi Sedlo Sorry I couldn't find the F-18 thread for eastern friendship. The GBU's don't work whether they are CCIP CCRP or Auto. They are crossed out and unavailable on the hud and the DDI. I have attached an attachment. On the attachment you can see the CCIP is crossed out on the hud and on the left DDI the GBU is crossed out. You can also see that the Master arm is in the armed position. Now if no one else has this problem it has to be something in the settings for my machine. I deleted the copy I had and downloaded another copy exact same problem. Now I had this on another computer and they worked fine. Then I bought this machine faster and better but now I have this problem with the GBU's in eastern friendship campaign. I have tried everything and nothing works. The Mav's work fine just the GBU in eastern friendship do not work. If you can think of anything that I can do to solve this problem it will be appreciated. Thanks

The CCIP on the hud is crossed out. I activate the master arm button and go through the routine of arming them but the CCIP on the hud is still crossed out and I cannot drop the bombs.

Hi Sedlo Quick question why do the GBU 12 bombs not work in the F-18 Hornet mission 1 in the Easter Friendship Campaign

I think I figured out the problem. At least it worked for me. Delete all the us navy equipment module you have installed in the dcs directory and only put US Nave Equipment in users/your name/saved games/dcs/mods/tec/US Nave Equipment. It didn't work for me originally. but when I deleted the folder Us Nave Equipment from all the other areas I put it in when I was trying to get it to work it worked. Hope it that helps.

Hi I have the same problem and my folder is named exactly as you guys have it. The campaign will not load and the pop up keeps coming up yo in install module usn deck crew.

Hi I have the same problem. And I have my folder named exactly as you guys and message "module usn deck crew must be installed" keeps popping up.

I just switched from The Steam Version of DCS world to the stand Alone version from the e Store. Got fed up with the BS between ED and Steam. Had to take a loss since I had made purchases of Module through Steam. But ah well that is the nature of the beast. So I am trying to Minimize my losses. I see that the supper carrier is available in a bundle with the f!8c and SU 33. My question is first the prices in E store are they Canadian Dollars or US. Second the F18 Module that is in the bundle is it the same F18C that you purchase DCS: F/A-18C Hornet for 59.99 on E-store. Third need to know once you purchase the the package can f18 c be downloaded immediatelty and the supper carrier as it becomes available or does the entire package have to be downloaded when it all module are available. Anyone know the answers to these questions please reply to me. Thank you.

Ok Thanks. I will give that a try
