Dear, Since the update on Tuesday December 19, I am experiencing a problem with the data link. Me and my buddy use the datalink frequently and we are also very happy with it, but after the last update we both get the NAK message after sending something while everything functions normally. We both can send and we recive. Also, tailwheel unlocks always appears after sending a message. Not a big deal, but needs some attention. Keep up the good work!!

I don't know if I'm missing something very obvious here, because this worked this afternoon (post-update) but I can't get my datalink symbols to show up on HSD, on autopilot steerpoint it does not steer to the steerpoint (hdg works), and also the HTS/HAD does not pick up radar signals. I have fully aligned the INS before moving. MDS switch to ON only after the TIME display shows GPS SYSTEM. DLINK page set to ON, Coarse switches to Fine. Am I missing something ?

I've crashed into the fantail so often that there wouldn't be a carrier in the fleet. I've watched a number of videos, and read threads here and other places. I look at the info bar at the bottom of the screen to try to get the 8(ish) pitch that I have read about. Either on the PTH or AOA. Is that wrong? I can mostly stay onspeed with a clean bird/level. Mostly. A poor carpenter blames their tools, but I think my throttle needs a bit more grease. It's when the gear and flaps come down that the "fun" starts. I drop the gear under 250, and the full flaps around 180. I read about disconnecting the AP from Bankler. Thanks! I have a keybinding for it. Question is how do I know the AP is disconnected? Is there an indicator on one of the MFD? Is there more than one AP mode that could be fighting me? Any help is appreciated. Thanks for reading.

cannot repoduce and missing track file Boresighting Mavericks
RyanR posted a topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
As far as I can tell, every DCS update makes every tutorial obsolete..... and the F-16 manual is basically non-existent. Every time I try to use the TGP to hand off to the AGM-65 (TMS right), I get nothing. The Maverick seeker head is just not aligned with the TGP. I'm guessing that the Maverick boresighting needs to be done. The rub is that all the tutorials I've found to boresight the Mavericks not only don't boresight the Mavericks, they decouple the Maverick seeker head from the HUD symbology. What's the fix? After decades of WWII and Korean sims, I'm finally getting back to scratching the F-16 itch. The original Falcon got me started in 1988, and the Viper in DCS is sooooo much better, and a worthy successor to the original Falcon. The last release of that was pretty iffy. DCS is quite good. I fully expect the learning curve to be huge, but it's just frustrating trying to figure out if I'm simply being an idiot.... or if there's something not right in the sim. For example, I spent hours trying to figure out the HSD datalink issue, to find that it was a bug..... then I found the work around.... but then the last update fixed it. All within a 3 day period. Thanks! -Ryan -
Hello, I am trying to learn how to use TDOS with HMCS to drop bombs. When I designate a target with the HMCS the spot shows as a target designation box, but by the time I turn the plane around to make a run at the target, the TD box is gone. What am I doing wrong? I was able to set a TD Box on a spot, then note that the Targeting Pod was slaving to that point and actually was able to fine tune the target with the radar control curser, but then when I came around to make the bomb run the target was no longer in the spot I set. It drifts.....a long way.... Learning Curve is High, but still very fun to fly. Mike

For some reason my HTS pod isn't picking up jack...I dropped a screen shot down below. HTS pod is on via the left chin station. HARMs are powered on, and they are picking up the SAM, as you can see below. My RWR is picking up the SAM, which you can also see by the semi cutoff "3" on the RWR display. For some reason, the HAD display isn't working. I did narrow down the threats to class 2 since I know it's a SA-3 out there with a P-19 SR. Did I miss something?

cannot repoduce and missing track file moving target - which tool ?
marzzz posted a topic in DCS: F/A-18C
Hi i’ve noticed that an uncaged Maverick IR (AGM65-F) couldn’t follow a moving target designated by a ATFLIR pod (Auto track mode) while it works perfectly with the GMT/Sea ground radar. The only solution i’ve found is to uncage the maverick just before the launch ( inside maverick range , of course) 1- I don t understand why? is it a bug? 2- my feeling is that Auto mode of the ATFLIR is not very useful ( i didn t try the litening pod). So, except a bug, the best combo seems to be ATFLIR pod slaved to the ground radar , even with the AGM65-E (laser). What are your feelings about it ? thks -
cannot repoduce and missing track file F-16 INS Mis-Alignment
RedBack posted a topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
Hi I'm new to DCS so forgive any dumb questions After doing a cold start with Stored Heading alignment, I fly a mission, and all is OK. After landing back to base to rearm and refuel, I noticed that the INS is now misaligned. I tried to do an inflight alignment, but I can't get it to work. To do inflight alignment, I fly strait and level using the Auto pilot I set the INS to InFlight Alignment I enter my magnetic compass heading into DED I wait until alignment count down to 10 and the "Align" sign on the HUD disapears I click Return on DED I set the INS to NAV The result of this procedure, gets me close alignment but not exact. Can someone tell me what causes the INS to be misaligned? Do I have to realign the ins after every landing? What am I doing wrong with the in flight alignment? -
Guys, are you having any problems with hellfire Lima? because when you fire it, doing the whole procedure of pointing the laser, observing that the hellfire has got the coordinates and firing, the missiles are missing, falling close to the target instead of hitting it. a good example said this one short, in this case the missile fell very close to the target, but it happens to fall further away. remembering that this happens with or without the FCR.

Hi, When landing, the TVV doesn't match the flight path. It shows a descent of around 2 degrees while the actual vertical velocity is around +50 fpm. The aircraft is actually climbing away from the ground. It may be that the TVV is not correctly responding to ground effect when the aircraft floats very near the runway. I was able to maintain this state to several hundred feet. It makes landing rather "interesting".

Reading Chucks Guide I was left with the impression that with the Litening Pod, that the RAID/FOV button on the HOTAS changed between wide and narrow FOV on a short press and CCD/FLIR on a long press, but I can't seem to make it do that. I have the screen with the pod display selected, the radar elevation does the zoom like it should, but RAID/FOV does nothing. Anyone experienced the same or know what if anything I'm doing wrong? Thanks

cannot repoduce and missing track file HARM PB mod + Offset WP
Dovivan posted a topic in DCS: F/A-18C
HARM in PB mod dont fly to designated offset point and still follow regular WP. Bug? -
Hi going a bit mental here. whenever I set up an air start in the viper using mavs the mav always misses its target when using pre planned. Usually by a small margin. I’ve gone through all the procedures. I use gmt to plot the target. Slew tgp then lock up and autohandoff. always a miss. what gives?

Hey, I cant really explain the failure, but I will try my best. When I was playing the Viper today I noticed that after the second takeoff, I was searching some SAM's in the HAD. After I selected the SAM, it dissapeared from the HAD and the cursor was back in the middle of the screen, but I couldn't 'Lock' any SAM's anymore. When I tried to do something with the TGP it woked at first but after some seconds the TGP was slewing to a random position far away (off the map). I think this is, because the HTS got the last postition before the SAM disapeared somewhere random far away and the INS got destroyed. I am very sorry for the bad explanation but I'm trying my best. Tomorrow or in 2 days I may be able to attach a track when I can reproduce it. I could also attach my file from the flight it happened, but it was a track of around 2 hours. Also we used Skynet IADS on the server, thats why the SAM was shutting down. Thanks a lot, I was very frustrated today because the whole A/G sensors got useless including INS. PS: sorry for the english

Hi all Yesterday i was on a multiplayer server, and while in air started to configure a bomb run. Selected my CBUs went to TGP, but.....TGP stayed in SP mode. Okay that wouldnt be a problem, i thought, just click on CZ button....but no CZ button (or even STPT, or SP) was available on right side. Also TMS UP doesnt do anything. Any issue with TGP acually?
-
Has there been any major changes on the F-16 the last months? I don't get a picture from the TGP on the MFD, i can slew it around on the HSD and HUD but there is no picture in TV-BHOT-WHOT mode.

Hi Does anybody have also problems to lock target? I flew on multiplayer server and approached enemy fighter within 20-30 miles. Although i could mark him on HSD (awacs), when I tried to lock him up (tms up) NOTHING happend. I hit tms up sever times, Master arm was on, radar was active.....so what did i miss? Thanks for help.

cannot repoduce and missing track file Left MFCD Stuck Key
WarriorX posted a topic in Bugs and Problems
This is the second time in 2 days I have got this error: LEFT MFCD STUCK KEY It shows up as the standard yellow box in the MFCD's and the problem is it can not be cleared. There is a thin purple outline next to the OSB that supposedly is stuck, and nothing I have found will clear the yellow error box from both my MFCD's. I just got helios, and a touchscreen, and this error never showed up using the Cougar MFD's in the beta's. I do not know if this error was just added in the Final Release, or in the latest patch, so it is hard to isolate the culprit. Has anyone else ever got this error? -
I have noticed since the 2.9 update that the waypoint navigation isn't working properly in the F16 i start with a fresh waypoint punch in the cords and it takes me to the wrong place. it works fine on the f18 but the f16 seems to be bugged now.

It's not accurate, not even close. Is this correct or stil a WIP?
