HalasKor Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Hello, I am not new to DCS but I made a mistake repeatedly without realizing it. It took me many startups and references to the training, videos, and manual, to realize my mistake. Unsurprisingly my error was the flipping of an unnecessary switch. Armed with this knowledge I now have the power to screw up my navigation system if I want to. But to save others from this trouble I wish to share my knowledge. I don't have a perfect understanding but turning on the "AIRSPD SNSR TO DOPPLER" will effectively "invert" your navigation. If I had memorized the startup training I would not have made this mistake. Here is a picture of the left wall of the pilot seat: 15 3 Aircraft: A-10C|A-10C II|AV-8B N/A|AJS-37|F-14|F-15E|F-16C|F/A-18C|FC3|P-51D KA-50|Mi-24P|SA-342|UH-1H|AH-64D Terrains: Syria|Persian Gulf|Normandy|NTTR|Sinai
AvroLanc Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Been there, done that.... Presumably that switch is to enable some kind of back up mode, where raw air data info is fed to the Doppler. Don’t touch it in normal ops.
Robin885 Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 We were actually wondering if it was a bug or us doing a bad manipulation. Turns out it was the latter, thanks for the heads up^^ 1
Cathnan Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Could this be a bug? Wags turns it on in his Cold Start video 2

Eldur Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Just noticed that this also fixes the doppler gauge being aligned to north instead of the airframe. 2
ripper253 Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Yeah, it'll also render your DISS and drift to go funky as well, TAS calculations seem to be fine Is it possible you have to select your heading as a course for it to interpret the results properly? I'm just trying to drag anything from the Tu-154 that I can lol 1

CrashMcGhee Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 Exactly what I was here to look for before posting, appears the issue is a misunderstanding of a switch's function. Testing (or, more accurately, crashing) can now resume.
sublime Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 So many maps are just black for zoom ins which is a shame the map zoomed in is much more useful for the map display to me. Just off top of my head the last caucauses quick start can't zoom in; tonopah rest range airfield in Nevada can't, qeshm isle and bandar Abbas can't - does anyone know what determines if a zoom in is available?
leapingrodent Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Thanks for this. I flipped this switch when I've been doing cold starts and wondering why things were messed up vs doing a hot start... And now I know why xD 1

YoYo Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Did it reported as a bug already? On many videos on YT of startup people turn it on (So up) but they didnt notice that its a bug ;D. 1 Webmaster of http://www.yoyosims.pl Win 10 64, i9-13900 KF, RTX 4090 24Gb OC, RAM 64Gb Corsair Vengeance LED OC@3600MHz,, 3xSSD+3xSSD M.2 NVMe, Predator XB271HU res.2560x1440 27'' G-sync, Sound Blaster Z + 5.1, TiR5, [MSFS, P3Dv5, DCS, RoF, Condor2, IL-2 CoD/BoX] VR fly only: Meta Quest Pro

sublime Posted July 12, 2021 Posted July 12, 2021 I've noticed he's correct the Caucauses it's always fine for me on. Anything else I don't get zoomed in; Marianas nothing at all for either.
unipus Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 Caucasus is unreliable to me... about 1/4 the time I don't have high-detail maps. I haven't scientifically tested to see if it's always the same maps. All the others I've tried are far spottier. Some of Nevada works. I think some of Syria, too, but can't recall now.
Lurker Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) What do I do when I get to the edge of the map? Is there any way to "change" maps?

Because that's not what happens. At least not in my case. Talking about the zoomed "out" larger scale map.
