Koriel Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I'll join the crowd expressing our thanks on this very informative guide you have written. I have used your guide to get me proficient in the Huey, and I'll be using this one for the Mirage. I would even suggest to Razbam to include this in the next update or final release.

VortexNED Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Awesome thank you! One quick question, how to ripple multiple bombs? On page 63 it looks like you dropping multiple bombs, is there a setting I am missing? Or do you have a very quick thumb? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On page 63 it looks like you dropping multiple bombs, is there a setting I am missing? Or do you have a very quick thumb? :P I just pressed the Weapon Release switch successively. It's one bomb drop per button press. Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Chuck's Guides on Mudspike Chuck's Youtube Channel Chuck's Patreon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charly_Owl Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 +1. The Test position should be instable, BTW. Little fix (non urgent) to make. What do you mean by "instable"? Page 9 a (very) important item is missing in the mapping: the AP standby. On the M2000, the principle is to always have the basic AP On (except for T/O & landing) and the AP standby is on the stick so that: - pilot grabs stick = he presses the AP standby => he has controls (AP is amber) - pilot releases stick = AP standby is depressed => AP takes control (AP is green) I mapped this on the trigger at the bottom of the warthog stick; not perfect, but best I found. Az' I knew about the standby switch but I decided to "tweak" my autopilot operation tutorial in order to be more practical for a user. For instance, this autopilot standby switch system takes into account that the hand will physically press that switch the second the pilot grabs the stick (so he doesn't have to "think" to hold it or not). In our case, we don't have a Mirage stick and there is no switch that we can hold all the time without it becoming annoying at some point.

rrohde Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 That switch is the same concept as in the Su-27, for when you press+hold the "fire" button on your control stick, allowing you to override the AP setting. Once you let go, the AP kicks back in. Same in the M2000C - just assign a convenient button to that function. Also, worthwhile to mention - you can assign a button that will override the AP, but also override the AoA limiter, which is another nice feature to have assigned to one's stick (Autopilot Disconnect/Hard Stop Enable). :) PC: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | MSI Suprim GeForce 3090 TI | ASUS Prime X570-P | 128GB DDR4 3600 RAM | 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit Gear: HP Reverb G2 | JetPad FSE | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk.III w/ MCG Ultimate VKBcontrollers.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrayen Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 What do you mean by "instable"? Sorry, unstable (switch). It means the T position is not kept: as soon as the pilot let go the switch, it switches back to M. I knew about the standby switch but I decided to "tweak" my autopilot operation tutorial in order to be more practical for a user. For instance, this autopilot standby switch system takes into account that the hand will physically press that switch the second the pilot grabs the stick (so he doesn't have to "think" to hold it or not). In our case, we don't have a Mirage stick and there is no switch that we can hold all the time without it becoming annoying at some point. Well, I agree that holding the trigger can be annoying, but if you don't do so, you can't use the AP as it's intended to be, and you're deprived of the auto-attitude-maintain it provides by default that is so prized IRL. = = = = "Air-to-Ground Radar emission switch" Nope. Nothing to do with Air-to-Ground mode(s). It's the "on ground" switch, to disable the safety mechanism that prevent the radar from emitting when there is weight on wheel. It's a maintenance switch, for avionics/radar mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not perfect and on 80+ pages some mistakes are bound to slip through the cracks. I just published a small revision based on Azrayen's and other users' comments.
