Opus 1 Posted January 26, 2024 Posted January 26, 2024 All, New to the F16 and I'm working through the training missions to get some proficiency. I'm in Mission 14 ANG 85K Maverick. I can't get the thing to fire. I have mapped my A10 joy stick to the controls in the f16 game and it doesnt seem to work. My DMS is set on the joystick but in the lesson its controling "view center and seat up and down". Can some one help? Also, can some in simple step istruction list the steps to SOI, DMS, TMS in course corralate and then fire?
Milker Posted January 26, 2024 Posted January 26, 2024 (edited) Hi Opus 1! Well, A10 stick is pretty much the same as F16 stick (presume you have Warthog HOTAS) and it is recognized by DCS and it will map by default as F16 stick. The first maverick AGM65k should be in area track mode on weapon MFD (OSB 7 to change it), then you should fine tune it to lock on the bridge. For the second launch to SA13, AGM65D should be used in auto Handoff mode (TGP OSB 2 auto mode). DMS down (short press < 0,5 sec) will change SOI, if you press > 0,5 sec it will disable HMCS view (on/off function). Once you lock your target with TMS up you need to change SOI to weapon page and fine tune it and TMS up again on weapon page as SOI. Pay attention to instructions. Good hunting Edited January 26, 2024 by Milker
Opus 1 Posted January 26, 2024 Author Posted January 26, 2024 Ill try that again, Thank you. I will triple check my control mapping. I don't understand that when I'm in the lesson, the Joystick mapping is different for my DMS switch.

You’re welcome
