dresoccer4 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I know this was brought up many years ago, but just noticed it's still a thing: When loading on runway or starting hot, the data cartridge has not been loaded. I feel this should already be done as it's part of the startup process. When I load on the runway everything should be ready to go. Anyone else feel this way? 3 Acer Predator Triton 700 || i7-7700HQ || 512GB SSD || 32GB RAM || GTX1080 Max-Q || FFB II and Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle || All DCS Modules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napillo Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 You don't even have to open the cockpit, just push in the data cartridge. It'll already be loaded. It's not put in, probably because you might want to change your loadout before you load the DTC. Even then you don't need to open the cockpit and have them update the DTC, it'll already be updated.

Nope, hot runway start almost always means you'll still change your loadout. If you do that while cartridge is out it gets updated automatically. So right now hotstart is like that: - rearm - plug in the cartridge - load data If it was your way it would be: - rearm - take the cartridge out - open the canopy - request a cartridge update - after update close the canopy - plug in the cartridge - load data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
