  1. When your thermal imaging countermeasures are just too good
  2. Thanks to a very lucky finding on a YouTube video, I've found out that the 3 position landing light switch on the F-15C is the 8906K2423. Significant because it has the same two jewel/centre screw layout of the Hornet switch. Now just gotta dig in to the catalogue to find the two-position version
  3. More infuriatingly perhaps, there's a way you could do it in the real A/C (slewing cursors on the HSI to the desired waypoint position), but that doesn't seem to have been implemented in the DCS version.
  4. I get the feeling that people who want an Apache, probably already know it's a multi-crew affair.
  5. This might be a dumb question, but did you remember to hit 'ON' for the ILS as well?
  6. The real jet does and pretty sure the DCS one does too.
  7. Got gifted F/A-18 Korea at about the same time I first watched Independence Day, I was 8 at the time. There's no way the Hornet's ever not going to be my favourite 4th Gen aircraft, and having it as a DCS module was always going to be a dream come true. That said, I do prefer the avionics of the Viper, but would happily pass that up for the ability to operate from a carrier.
  8. Cheers, wasn't 100% sure on that but thought it worth a go
  9. Hit the T/O Trim button on the left console.
  10. Table says IAS so you'd need to calculate groundspeed from that
  11. It's been brought up and reported in the Cockpit Art Errors thread https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/184641-cockpit-art-errors/page/2/
  12. The more vague the law the easier it is to claim you've violated it and somehow I can't see the Russian courts particularly ruling in 'our' favour. Same as butting up against ITAR though - at the end of the day, government's gonna government.
  13. Well if you look at the Enemy Engaged series, they specifically paired Apache against the Mi-28 and the Comanche against the Ka-52 But I agree with the general sentiment that we shouldn't be looking for 'helicopter dogfighting' - give them both mission profiles that suit them, and let each pilot enjoy their own bird.
  14. Glad you've got the launch working If you're still getting the Master Cautions any chance you could save a track of it and upload?
  15. Firstly, does the left DDI show anything when the Master Caution comes on? A great many warnings appear there. 1) Home Fuel? If you go into afterburner you'll often get that warning. 2) Take off Trim? If you don't have that set then you'll get a caution when you throttle up, can't remember if that's only an aural alert. 3) Did you remember to Salute? Under the ground crew menu
  16. I guess it depends on the system under the hood. If it's simply referencing the static pressure as measured at the time of engagement, then the setting on the altimeter is irrelevant.
  17. Multi-role. Nothing else is remotely reasonable.
  18. It shouldn't, especially given only electronic trim has been implemented at the moment.
  19. FM Update coming soon so hopefully things will improve
  20. Thanks - I guess I'd been overthinking it, on the basis an uplock (as per your Tornado handle) is always user-controllable so wouldn't necessarily have been described in NATOPS.
