I'm surprised this still works at all since 2.9.6 caused problems for SFM mods.

 

I've not flown this Mod in a long while ... by any chance, do you have any document or instructions about the employment of its FLIR pod?

Loving the Super Tucano except for one thing. I have nearly constant static in my radio. I can't figure out how to get rid of the static. I am sure I am missing something super simple.

Thanks!

Saw this on the Github, but no download yet, anyone know what's up?

No idea, but thanks for the heads up ... this is a lovely Mod, and wish @Luiz Renault all the best with its development.

I occasionally get this if there has been a transmission from a mission, like a "target destroyed" message, or at least that's when I notice it. It's not constant for me though

I get that same thing from time to time, when I destroy a target. Mostly happens when I’m flying the A10-C

I hope this will fix things for me, an update or two ago, loading this plane caused my game to crash.

Not sure its a Tucano thing. Seems to happen to us in Multiplayer almost all the time with AWACS comms in just about all aircraft. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes static.  Haven't noticed it in SP.

To add more information, I made a mission that has nothing else in it besides the plane and the world. Still getting near constant static.

Just tested on my DCS and I don't hear the static ... do you have the Squelch filter enabled?

And even if it is some sort of normal effect, is there a volume control for the radio besides changing the 'in helmet' volume in the settings?

Here is my simple test mission

Caucasus map
A-29B on the ramp hot
Parking spot 5 at Vaziani

As for Squelch, I think I have tried it off and on but can't tell any difference. But just in case I an not enabling it correctly, what are the steps to enable it?

The static does sound like faint/broken/distant radio noise/chatter BUT I don't have anything else in the setting that would be talking. Even if it is something else in the map, if squelch doesn't work, is there a volume control for the radio? I fly multiple aircraft. The only other aircraft that I notice this on a regular basis is the Huey. But with the Huey eventually I can tell what I am hear, it isn't near constant, and I can turn it down.

Thanks for the help!

[NIc_BDA]

I've flown the A-29 pretty constantly the last few days, I've not had the static come back at all for me. I wish I could offer more help!

[Archangel44]

Just to add, 

I get a periodic squelch on the Caucus map only.

I don’t believe it’s the bird but something on the map.

As before I mentioned that I get that far off distant 3-5 second squelch in the A-10 only on the Caucus map.

had the statics on the marianas map. And I think it is something with the bird.

[Archangel44]

Or both…But still enjoy flying A29.

Great plane and a big thank you to its Sim creator(s).

For some reason, when I do a cold start, I can't get the plane over 120 knots on takeoff, if I do a hot start it has no issues. I have run through the cold start videos by several creators and the same results. Any idea what I am missing?

Check the wheel brakes. You may have to invert them.

On some planes, engaging the wheel brakes will make them stay on when you engage them and you will have to re-engage them to turn them off. Weird I know.

Hope this helps.

If it's while on the runway, as Archangel said, check the breaks. If it's after rolling, check your weight, it doesn't like to be too close to max weight. The climb out will be shallower than most of the other planes for a bit if heavy, then once you get the flaps in the speed will start to come up. 

I have heard of it being an bug with some missions too. Of late I found a really gentle climb out can coax it into the air, but it's work!

[Asiavik]

Even if I get her off the ground, she will actually start to lose speed even at level flight.  There is no payload either. It's like there is a limiter in play or the rpm is not set right. 

[NIc_BDA]

That sounds like the bug/issue I heard about. Is it the Free Flight instant action mission? Do you have the most current version (Oct 2023 iirc)? Do you have the weapons pack?

 

[Asiavik]

Yes. It was one of the Instant action missions. I tried it in a custom mission and issue solved.

[NIc_BDA]

On a graphics side of things, I notice in @Rudel_chw's training videos from around a year ago, the prop does a really nice spin up, and the gear lever is animated and the relevant lights there work, I'm 99.9% sure I have the current version (since I only downloaded it like 2-3 months ago) and I don't have that. To confirm my gear I have to F2 for a second, and the prop goes from nothing to blurry disc in a frame. Any ideas? Reinstall the plane? Clear a texture cache? 

Also many of the skins in the skin pack aren't working for me, just giving me a black plane (which has it's own appeal, not gonna lie) or one even has (TEXTURES MISSING) down the side of the fuselage... again any ideas or things to try I'm all ears!

i stll see "0.6.0b  Oct 30, 2023"

[NIc_BDA]

yeah, that's what I have, wondering if it's a setting I've missed or maybe delete the mod and install again incase something went screwy
