jeffham222 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 The Fire Loop A and B warning test messages are messed up at times. Bitchin' Betty will say, "Engine Right Fire" vice "Engine Fire Right" on both loops randomly. Also, in the video (if you are able to view it), you will notice I had to click somewhere else in the cockpit so I could get the other Fire Loop Warning test to play. Small issue though I have noticed it somewhat constantly/at random times. Map is Nellis. Latest update as of today (01MAR2019).

jeffham222 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 Can I get an explanation of what I am doing wrong since sometimes the Fire Loop Tests say the correct thing and sometimes they don't?

AMEDooley Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 You need to wait longer between testing the fire loops. The tapes need to rewind. This would happen on the real thing too. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
jeffham222 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Posted March 2, 2019 First, I am not trying to start a fight or bicker or anything... Even though you seem to be an AME, apparently (former AT, myself)--lol... I follow what you say, but I think that is jumping to conclusions, maybe... especially about initiating Fire Loop B after Fire Loop A... and there aren't "tapes" to my knowledge--it should be all solid state/flash tones/bitchin' betty... Maybe a processing issue with MCs as they ARE slow compared to (even back in ~2000) PCs. It HAS been about 15 years since I worked on my turn qual on F/A-18A-F's, but I don't remember this being an issue. Rather, I believe the issue is with the actual wording getting reversed randomly and either on Fire Loop A the first time I ran it or on Fire Loop B right after I ran Fire Loop A in the DCS sim itself--I'll check with a former ADCS buddy to confirm though to see if this is actual real world and shall report back. To clarify, sometimes it works both loops first time up, but others, seems like it doesn't, so even before verifying, I will give you that... I know I usually jump in the cockpit and get right at it. Regardless, if I am wrong, I will admit it. I've been wrong before and the goal of this post is not to put my junk against anyone else's, but to find out what I may be doing wrong. Thanks, for the feedback, AMEDooley! Intel Core i7-6700@3.4GHz EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB 16GB RAM TM TFRP Rudder Pedals TM TWCS Throttle Virpil VPCWarBRD Base TM F/A-18C Hornet Grip

jeffham222 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Posted March 2, 2019 Roger, Wags... I'm also checking with guys I served with for full-on correction!!! I figure I might as well get slammed real-world... I'll also get into the pubs next week at work as I should know this... but am missing it. Thanks!
