+1 ... I wasn't able to load the Track   ... the first step before reporting a bug, is to make sure you are using a clean DCS with just the single T-45 Mod loaded.

Hi Rudel,

                      OK Sorry about that, should have thought of that, will get that sorted and There was mention elsewhere of stick lock might be on, will hunt that out and get back. Thank you for replying.

run the mission again, when you exit the mission there is a button to "save track file", attach that file here to take a look at your issue 

Hello Rudel,

                         With apologies for not thinking ahead and leaving a trillion MODS on there. I have put Persian Gulf Map, long runway. Did a stir with the stick and all surfaces worked as normal. But I do notice that acceleration is slow, it accelerates like a Chipmunk, only getting to 130KTS by the piano keys at the far end.

Your advice appreciated.

T45 no mods, very slow acceleration.trk

Shot in the dark. Pedals with toe brakes with the axis not set as a slider and/or (not) inverted?

Could someone make custom .lua with gunpod added? I know T-45 doesn't has it but since og Hawk has it.

It’s possible about the toe brakes.

The F/A-18C, when setting up my controls, I ran into slow acceleration and had to invert the toe brakes.

The way I found out was I taxied with the toe brakes depressed and I knew right away the issue.

Hope this helps.

Yup, not only possible, but might be the issue, that's why I mentioned it when I saw he couldn't get up to speed. I have to invert the brakes in "all" my modules and set them as sliders, or they will be half cocked all the time.

Cheers!

The Bat, Gen, and Launchbar switches don't work when assigned to separate On/Off buttons.
The battery turns on, only when you click the mouse.

Noticed the same. They turn on/off with mouse click only. But still a fun plane to fly.

I had to change name of export screens - T-45 mod export names are:-

MFDL
MFDR

So you need to put entries in your monitor config file 

Alternatively, you could change those names to LEFT_MFCD and RIGHT_MFCD and then they will export into the same positions as the A10, F18 etc.

In the files
VNAO_T45\Cockpit\Scripts\Displays\MFDL\Indicator\init.lua  ---->  try_find_assigned_viewport("MFDL") to try_find_assigned_viewport("LEFT_MFCD")
and
VNAO_T45\Cockpit\Scripts\Displays\MFDR\Indicator\init.lua ---->  try_find_assigned_viewport("MFDR") to try_find_assigned_viewport("RIGHT_MFCD")

I got it to export but fonts are unraeadable...

I noticed bug - I mapped batt1 ON and batt2 ON to my TM Warthog throttle , but when i activate 2 switches for batt1/batt2 in DCS i see switches move to ON position, but nothing happens...When i left mouse click each switch in DCS cockpit it works fine..

thanks, based on my experience with the hornets rwr export the changes that will need done to make them readable will make them unreadable in the cockpit but i'll be doing some testing with it later today. basically need to find where it defines the line weight and fuzziness for the displays

 

part 2 got it, you need to edit the following file VNAO_T45\Cockpit\Scripts\materials.lua. (line 21) MFD_thickness = 0.2 i used the following MFD_thickness = 4.2

see the attached screenshots to see the results. as you can see it does make the in cockpit displays unreadable. you can mess around with line 21 and 22 to get the desired effect that suits you.

MaxSenna & Archangel 44 are both on the right track. I reset the pedals to Slider, but no change, but then noticed that one axis seemed to 'Stick' .

So changed pedals to Right side only for both brakes, and away she went, doubled the speed after initial inertia and leapt into the air.

So thank you to both of you, and Rudel who was good enough offer to take a look at my .trk file.

All working......until something else crops up, LOL

THANK YOU GENTLEMEN

[Morpheus]

For those who want it, goes in .....Cockpit\Scripts\ControlsIndicator (save original please)

ControlsIndicator_page.lua

Great. But no need to invert the axis?
