TheSkipjack95 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Also there is no real application for the backseat Pilot unless you have to show him some manouver, would be nice to have a sort if role. But yeah finish and correct the module first then implement more stuff. :) I did some DACT in the C101 once (against a 190, but that was because it was spontaneous rather than a planned exercise), with a buddy in the backseat, and let me tell you, having a second pair of eyes telling you where the enemy is is really bloody handy. I'm sure there are plenty of other duties the rear seat can perform (dealing with navigation, especially in low level dead reckoning,.....) other than being a passive observer.
Jester986 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I've been having some great fun with this module. I was doing some multi crew IFR last night though and my backseater was unable to adjust radio frequencies and his HSI did not show the NAV information mine did in the front seat. I understand this is all work in progress but it made me curious if its two separate nav inputs or if eventually they will be able to adjust each other's radios and HSI's? We also had a great time doing some coin in the 101. I was ecstatic when I managed to drop a mk-82 directly on an IFV! Anyway thank you to Vibora and team for this fun little aircraft, I look forward to seeing her mature.

There is only a single NAV Radio, you pass control of it with the NAV button on the front panel .. if it is lighted, you have control, otherwise the other crewman has it. Same for the COM radio.

But in multiplayer, many things aren't implemented yet. That may be one of them.
kontiuka Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 We also had a great time doing some coin in the 101. I was ecstatic when I managed to drop a mk-82 directly on an IFV!Congrats on the kill!
Jester986 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Oh yea, I understand. I was just asking for future reference.
Jester986 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Congrats on the kill! Thanks! Getting kills with it isn't too hard but it was very satisfying to watch that mk-82 fly right up his tailpipe!
Jester986 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I promised to buy one of these for someone who normally wouldn't when multicrew was released. So tonight I bought two of them since they're on sale for half price. Yes I'm a little drunk, don't judge me.

VampireOne Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Dual control funktionality is High on the wish list for training purposes. The 101 really grows on you. As I mentioned previously I am building a vUPT training program modelled on the training I went through many years ago with the USAF and being able to demo and evaluate real time is invaluable.

Tarabostes Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Can somebody tell when AFM version will be put on DCS release version ?
Rudel_chw Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Can somebody tell when AFM version will be put on DCS release version ? "DCS World Updates Due to the holidays and our staff taking some much-needed time off, our next DCS World update will be 16 January 2019."

Vibora Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 C-101 AFM, as well as other aspects of the module, are WIP. To upgrade this Open Beta into a release version will still take some time. Can't provide dates. Roberto "Vibora" Seoane Alas Rojas [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hsth Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 I understand that aileron & elevator trim position indicator awaits the AFM implementation. Will that also restrict the trim button to no more then the indicated values? Because at the moment the trim button brings the stick to full end.
hsth Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 On page 15 of the manual it states that solo flights are undertaken from the front cockpit. Will there be an option for single player to do instrument training flights from the rear cockpit using the blackout curtains?

AFM is already available in the Open Beta, which has no issues with trim. Roberto "Vibora" Seoane Alas Rojas [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

You can fly from the rear cockpit in single player under IFR and with blackout curtains. Roberto "Vibora" Seoane Alas Rojas [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hsth Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Thanks, more reason to look forward for version release..
Sacarino111 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Hello and happy 2019. I'm still on my kind of suggestions, witch are: Buttons, please!, I mean, I'm more the kind of cockpit builder, and I lack the possibility to move buttons and dials from my pannels. I know all the team is busy and working their best for other important things, but I would apreciate a lot some buttons to be properly defined and/or set, as: - Radio dials - TACAN and VOR/ILS knobs - Lights pots. There may be more , but those ones are (to me) the most used ones, so I'd reaaly apreciate a solution to them. Waiting for the F1 to be released, I salute all the team and thanks it for the great job. A. Sacarino111 Petrovic
Vibora Posted January 16, 2019 Author Posted January 16, 2019 Hi Sacarino. Will try to find some time to look at it, but we are indeed very busy with other aspects of the development. Roberto "Vibora" Seoane Alas Rojas [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
