packer_edge Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 New to DCS and loving it. I am struggling with the weapon symbology on the HUD. Anything I've managed to find online with regards to the SU 25T weapons doesn't seem to say what the HUD symbol is for each weapon, so when I'm playing some of the instant action scenarios I don't know some of the weapons I've been loaded with, and therefor don't know what deliver system I need to work with (ie. do I need to turn the laser on or not, is this fire and forget or not, etc.) Is there anywhere I can go so that when I see a weapon symbol on my HUD, I know which weapon that is and I know how I need to deliver it? Some I've figured out, but I'm struggling with others.
draconus Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Even for Instant Action mission you're welcome with briefing before the start - there should be loadout provided. (LAlt+B ingame) Look here for loadout tables and short descriptions at the end of the doc: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2101898/ Head to the ingame manual (\DCS\mods\aircraft\su-25t\docs\) and training for more comprehensive weapon delivery tutorials.

unhappytroll Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Yes, it is quite different from NATO symbology. But there is an official DCS Su-25T manual available here. i5-2500k/24Gb/MSI GTX1060/Logitech G940/VKB Cobra Z/TM Cougar MFD/VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Throttle/BRD-MS3 Rudder Pedals FC3/Ka-50/Mi-8/AV-8B/UH-1H/CA/L-39/Yak-52/MiG-21/NS430/ A-4E-C/MB-339
Taz1004 Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 What I usually do when I'm not sure is check the weapon stations panel to see where it's loaded and then look back at the wing to see which weapon it is. After a few missions, I learn that symbol. Better Smoke - Better Trees Caucasus - Better Trees Syria - Better Trees Mariana - Clear Canopy Glass
