Unless I fully come off my pedals then it jumps to -100% Then the code is doing it wrong, simply put. My Windows control panel registers the axis movement completely, DCS registers the axis movement completely, but only the A-4E-C does register just the upper half of it. I tried different axes, devices, with and without UJR, it's literally acting the same in any condition. Edited February 15, 2021 by Eldur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason in DCS it was mapping my pedals perfectly from 0% to 100% instead of -100% to 100%. I'll commit a change tonight if you wish to get the fix. If you don't want to get it from the repo then it will be in the next beta. Thank you for spotting this one. 1 2 Community A-4E-C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wereferret Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Thanks, that's good info but I did know that. I think I'm phrasing the question badly. So I have the latest version of the A4 (2.0 beta 2) installed. Mechanically in the game, from a cold start on instant action in the caucuses, how do I call for ground power? The option isn't in the comms menu like it used to be for me. Edited February 15, 2021 by wereferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe1978 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 hace 22 horas, JNelson dijo: AFCS Engage means you have the autopilot enabled. This will be default to AFCS Attitude mode, where it will hold the pitch and roll for when it was turned on. If you move the stick from centre (2lbs in the manual) more than 3% (15% by default for FFB sticks) it will go into CSS mode. In CSS mode the AFCS will trim for g. Once the stick is returned to centre it will drop back into attitude mode. If you force the AFCS to disengage while it is trying to roll it will disengage with that trim setting, this is a discontinuity because this is a flight sim, in reality the stick would be in your hand so this would not be an issue but in game this presents as suddenly rolling. I've mitigated some of this by making the AFCS reset the aileron trim if you disengage it by doing more than 50%, but it does not reset for +4 or -1.5 g disconnects. Thanks for your answer Nelson and for your effort in this great module. I can send you the tacview of some flights for check if you want. The manual warns that the AFCS must be disconnected when making abrupt maneuvers or entering combat. Maybe for this?

Almost thought I was wrong somehow, but I'm glad we sorted this out, improving the awesome mod even further I just need to know how to update the install from the repo then, but I guess it comes down to replacing certaing files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldur Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Kinda weird to see the indexer showing the AoA a little low while the LSO is saying "You're a little slow" - I mean, flying the amber donut would make you even more slow. Probably he still is "tuned" for the Hornet. Anyway, was nice to watch the landings while I still struggle to stay on-speed properly when approaching land bases. The thing really loves to ballon if you don't correct the throttle just about right. There's a lot of delay in between the input and RPM change and the actual attitude change, really something to master here. The Hornet feels like a child's toy compared to that as it's much more responsive even with the weird Jumo 004ish spool times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 He dose say 'hornet ball' so I guess the LSO thinks it's a hornet. 1 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Baco Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 No Kilo we all use Open Beta. Check that the Rute is: x:/User(thast you)/Saved Games/DCS.Openbeta/Mods/Aircraft/ and here goes A-4E-C folder with all the other folders and files...

Speedbrake Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Got a problem. Downloaded the new v2.0 beta-1 version, deleted my past version and the past input file and installed the new version. It shows up on the top page. I can load it in the mission editor after I set up my controls. However when I go into the mission it just gives me a screen of the map. It is like it can't find the aircraft. I've tried this twice with the same results. I've set up a completely new mission with the same results. I got out of DCS, deleted the aircraft file and input and reinstalled...same result.
