  1. Are there any indications of how AR might work with DCS? As a simpit owner, the dream would be being able to draw a horizontal plane in meatspace, and above the plane show DCS, below do passthrough.
  2. I think one suite used osb16 to show their flight number and ship number within that, however 1433 would not be valid for such a number, so it could be a made up EDism, or something that has changed with the suites.
  3. I think the concept behind showing the menu even if you’ve keyed the wrong radio is that it mimics real life. Nothing stops you from speaking after you’ve keyed the wrong radio, so the burden is on you to confirm radio usage before transmitting. In multiplayer it will broadcast as well so you can hear the unintended broadcast and correct the caller. I’m mot following what you mean when you say “Intercom with UHF tuned”? The intercom control panel rotary affects only the front mic switch. Aft and down positions are unaffected. Not 100% sure DCS has the modelled correctly, but thats my understanding of how it should work. UHF for tower comms would be most common in USAF as far as I know, so stick to UHF for best results.

    One (1) Developer

    Indeed I don’t think that ED realizes they control the assignment of developers. Somehow just saying that a developer was re-assigned is not a good look since someone inside the organization decided to re-assign him in the first place. I respect complexities of limited resources, but I think they would gain more respect by being honest that the project was deprioritized versus other modules.
  5. Sorry I’m late to this. The dcs-bios arduino flightpanels fork has a solution where one pin can control both a cover and a switch and does the sequencing for you. https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/dcs-bios-arduino-library For example: // A switch that has a cover in DCS that must be opened before the switch itself can be activated DcsBios::SwitchWithCover2Pos pltLaunchbarAbort("PLT_LAUNCHBAR_ABORT", "PLT_LAUNCHBAR_ABORT_COVER", 6);
  6. Enable control reference (rctrl+enter) and make sure you aren’t having an axis or binding issue?
  7. Is this the mode where if you now slave all to spi, you can get your tgp to track your gun predicted point of impact?
  8. TAD hook and HMCS hook have always been separate as far as I know. I have intentionally hooked different symbols in tactical situations months ago.
  9. Is there any additional information required to have this at least looked at?
  10. I have also experienced this a couple times in dozens of flights, under very similar conditions (mission file). I support your theory that it relates to trim, but have no conclusive evidence to add yet. 100% confident there is an issue in here somewhere though.
  11. In pit, CMSP on in STBY. Right click DISP switch. Observe switch stays up/on as long as right click is held and observe the CMSP display shows the settings of the current program. Release RMB. Observe the switch returns to center and the CMSP display continues to show the settings of the current program, allowing you to the set the SET + NXT to make adjustments. All good so far. Now, bind a keystroke to CMSP DISP Menu and repeat the test above. Observe that when releasing the keystroke, the switch returns to center but the CMSP display also returns. Thus to make adjustment to the program, one must hold the DISP keybind down while making changes. The keybind and the cockpit mouse binding to the same switch should have the same effect.
  12. TO1A-10C does have the warning clause “Aerodynamic blowback may not fully retract the flaps”, so it seems fair that DCS chose to model partial blowback. It likely should be a function of airspeed rather than initial flap position, but it can’t be said its “wrong” as it stands. Fun bit of trivia to have discovered, thank you.
  13. My bet is leftover wake effect from -1 landing ahead of you. As -2, adjust your aim point 1000' down the runway (assuming you have enough runway of course).
  14. TO 1A-10C-1, 2 APR 2012, pg 1-319
  15. In real, vhf fm guard is 40.5. Not sure if thats true in DCS though. Monitoring simple radio may give a hint? Selecting EMER will also transmit on that radio’s guard freq.
