  1. A screen capture of your axes assignment page would go a loooooong way to clarifying what you're describing. For that matter, a brief track recording would also clarify what the original problem actually is and is trivial to do.
  2. Technically, it's your plane so you can use either Notso said DIRECT is more practical, since you can release at any time
  3. Not only is that a great step, but that's a great attitude you have, and it inspired me to put some effort into trying to learn something new today. Congrats!
  4. Also, a quick sanity check, I think I've noticed that there's a bit of a delay getting the goggles on/off (maybe due to the animations). If you press the goggle button again before it turns on, it'll turn right back off, so spamming the goggle button will actually keep it from turning on.
  5. To add more fuel to the fire, there have been aircraft the have pitch control for the prop, rather than a propeller governor controller, so it's not for someone to conflate pitch control with prop control. Come to think of it, the Me-109 was one of them, IIRC.
  6. It's also a good analogy for your hardware not being the culprit. After all, people are able to drive in traffic in junkers with no power and limp-wristed steering wheels that have a mile of play. But it would certainly be more enjoyable in a nicer car
  7. Stop futzing around with the trim. Hornet auto-trims to 1G. At least until you mess with it. Now you have a plane that trims to 1.05G, which is not helpful for really anything. You don't maintain altitude by getting the trim dialed in. You maintain altitude by constantly bumping the nose up and down with the stick. It's like balancing a baseball bat on your hand--if you try to do it by getting the bat perfectly vertical so you don't have to move your hand, you will fail. You do it by constantly moving your hand around under the bat, and as you get better, those motions get smaller (but never to zero).
  8. I'd also add that turning away from the sun isn't really an immediate option for the WSO Another option that might be worth considering in general is attaching a lighting shade to the mouse cursor.
  9. That turbine RPM looks a little low, I thought idle was 60-65%? May not have been a normal start for whatever reason
  10. Open beta? 'Stable' version had a non-working radar
  11. Nope. you almost certainly have another axis or button that is double-bound to the throttle controls
  12. I assume by IR/night pod, you mean the navigation pod? The one that projects the FLIR image on the HUD and I think also houses the TF radar? I'm a little confused as why that would have anything to do with the targeting pod

    CBU 97

    The late release is simply due to the bomb unit's relatively high drag. The CBU-97 submunitions are very affected by wind
  14. More so to point out that even if your radar is not notched, the target may be in the missile's notch filter
  15. If you're okay with compromises, why not just an A-B-(C) switch, where C is momentary, and just use the B as ON and C as RESET?
  16. Are you getting the nose up above 12 deg? The waterline "W" should flash at 13 deg, and less than 13 deg will be less effective. I can't remember the pitch where the tail hits the ground, IIRC it's at 17 deg. Flaps should be down. I open the speedbrake during the flare, but it doesn't really slow you down at that AOA. Aerobraking makes your landing roll longer, not shorter AFAIK. If you want short, get the nose down as soon as you can and stand on the brakes.
  17. Running smoothly with a 4080, I've only seen fps drops when I first turn on the AG Radar to longer ranges. If I turn it on at 160 nm, fps will drop for about 5-10 seconds, but then it will return to normal and doesn't happen again, so my experience has been the AG radar issue is not a continuous problem
  18. He's on the Radio 1 UFC page, so we can see Preset 1 is set to 251.000 as well. We don't know if he is correctly using Radio 2 or what its Preset 1 is set to, though. OP has not responded since last week
  19. It is comparable to all the other non-FC3 modules with the exception of the radar, the ground radar can bog down the CPU depending on your settings. Otherwise, if you fly the Hornet, Viper or Hog, it's not going to perform all that differently
  20. That's a fair point. Still, that thing about "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" applies.
  21. FWIW, the brakes can bring the mudhen to a stop from 115 knots in 90F weather from 85,000 lbs weight without risk of damage, although if you have any mechanical empathy, you will be hurting inside
  22. Better yet, drop your log file into the DCS log analyzer discord bot as first step, there's one on the ED discord.
  23. That's true for Radio 2 but not Radio 1 AFAIK, but there are likely other skill issues involved...
