FreightDog Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 IFCC Test (to enable CCRP Consent in menu) then can't re-engage AP As title really, anyone know why I'm experiencing this, or do I need to set it on the ground before takeoff and this is how the aircraft is supposed to behave if I go into test menu in flight?

Yurgon Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 As title really, anyone know why I'm experiencing this, or do I need to set it on the ground before takeoff and this is how the aircraft is supposed to behave if I go into test menu in flight? The most recent patch brought many undocumented changes to the A-10C, so if you're running the latest 2.5.5 OpenBeta, this might be a bug. Other than that, switching the IFFCC to the TEST menu should not tamper with the autopilot. However, if you cycle the IFFCC switch to the OFF position, that most definitely has an impact. Off the top of my head, it will disengage EAC, which in turn prevents the autopilot from engaging. This would be accompanied by the Master Caution coming on, and the EAC light flashing on the caution light panel. In this case, first make sure the IFFCC switch is in either TEST or ON position and then reset the EAC switch to the ARM position and everything should be back to normal.

FreightDog Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Ah I didn't realise the part about the EAC! That makes total sense. Thank you I'll have a look when I'm home.

Shimmergloom667 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I think I bought the A-10 a year ago, never did much in it though. With the LITENING2 upcoming for the F-18 and the gfx overhaul on the horizon, I started to dig in though. So far I could answer all questions myself, but here is one that evades me: when I got the AAP dial to other, calling up the WP page and then searching for a waypoint by number or ID - is there a way to directly select that waypoint as steerpoint, or do I have to go through those sequentially with the switch / UFC rocker / HOTAS control? i7 - 9700K | 32 GB DDR4 3200 | RTX 2080 | VKB Gunfighter Mk II /w MCG Pro | Virpil T-50CM2 Throttle | TrackIR 5 | VKB Mk.

Kid18120 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 ...is there a way to directly select that waypoint as steerpoint, or do I have to go through those sequentially with the switch / UFC rocker / HOTAS control? I think, though i'm not too sure as it has been a while since i last had the need for such function, you can recall a specific STPT on the STEER page, by entering the STPT-ID / number in the top left of the MFCD (the one marked with +- symbols). Again, not totally sure as it has been a while.

Shimmergloom667 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) I think, though i'm not too sure as it has been a while since i last had the need for such function, you can recall a specific STPT on the STEER page, by entering the STPT-ID / number in the top left of the MFCD (the one marked with +- symbols). Again, not totally sure as it has been a while. That's the thing: you can only enter data on the scratchpad when the AAP is set to OTHER. In POSITION, STEER and WAYPT it is read only, isn't it? ***EDIT*** after rereading the section in the manual for like the 3rd time: looks like you can only call up specific Waypoints / Mark Points to use on the STEER page when the STEER PT dial is set to MISSION or MARK, not FLT PLN. I kinda find that dumb if it was the case, since the flight plan is what I am interested in, but alas! :D Edited June 18, 2019 by Shimmergloom667 i7 - 9700K | 32 GB DDR4 3200 | RTX 2080 | VKB Gunfighter Mk II /w MCG Pro | Virpil T-50CM2 Throttle | TrackIR 5 | VKB Mk.

I am at Tonopah, Nevada in the mission editor practicing my cold starts and some bombing scenarios. When I first get into the sim, I follow the startup checklist,:book:, get the battery and ac generators turned on, but I have no exterior lights at all, except for the light on the nosewheel steering gear in either the taxi or takeoff position. I cannot get any other taxi lights, wing tip or tail lights to come on, even if I press the RCTL+L keys. I have the pinky switch in the aft position which, in the cockpit, shows anti-collision lights on, but still no exterior lights flashing or even steady, no matter which position I place the cockpit switches in.:unsure::unsure: When I set up a scenario in the Mission Editor as a "Start From Ramp Hot", the lights are on.:thumbup: When I go into the training scenarios, the lights are on.:thumbup: The light on the nosewheel steering gear is on in both the takeoff and taxi positions.:thumbup: It's when I am in a cold start from the ramp in the mission editor that I cannot get any of the exterior Nav lights to come on.:mad: Thanks Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS setup, a custom built computer with Intel core i9 9900k, 3.6gHZ, 32GB ram, Gigabyte Aorus Master Z390 motherboard, M.2 main drive, and a 2TB SSD drive where the game is loaded, and an EVGA RTX 2080 Super graphics card.

tom_19d Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 @rromano, this might be a silly question but maybe I'm not following you -- you do have either an engine running, the APU running, or ground power connected, correct? It has been a long time for me in the A10 but I am pretty sure the buses the majority of the lights are on need a power source other than ship's battery to energize.

rromano158 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Okay, here goes I am trying to upload the short track video of the problem with the nav lights. As I have said this ONLY happens if I have the mission set to "Take off from ramp" (cold start). They always work if I have the mission set to "Take off from ramp hot start".

tom_19d Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Your pinky switch in cockpit is never going aft from what I can tell. I’m not sure how you are getting the anti collision switch to stick forward, but if I take control right after you turn on your position lights and anti collision lights and lean over in the cockpit to the left, your pinky switch is neutral. I cycle mine aft and I have full control of all the lights.

rromano158 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 A-10C exterior lighting problems Thanks to everyone who responded. I went back into DCS today and noticed that you are absolutely right, in the cockpit view, the pinky switch doesn't move at all. I went into the controls menu and unbound the pinky switch with what I had it bound to. I noticed that in the controls menu I wasn't able to bind the LCTL+P, LSHFT+P, or the LALT+P as they are greyed out on the throttle side. So, when I went back into the mission I had set up, I started up as normal, then pressed LCTL+P, and VOILA':doh:, it finally works!!!! Again thanks so much for the responses and help. Now I can buckle down and after about three months from now, I might start to be semi-comfortable getting to know this bird!:pilotfly: rromano158:thumbup: Your pinky switch in cockpit is never going aft from what I can tell.

FullMetalJacket Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Why is it that sometimes DIVERT is missing as an option on the CDU/MFD? Im guessing it must be missing data in the onboard data cartridge? I notice this after instant actions such as the Target Practice Instant Action in NTTR. I like to RTB after doing practice to maintain practice. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always toggle your selector switch from Flt Plan to Mission, then you’ll be able to cycle between all the stuff loaded in the CDU, not just the waypoints for the mission. You can “cheat” by pulling up the comm menu for ATC; the first airport listed should be the closest one to you. Not sure why divert is not appearing for you. Probably also good practice to know your options and where you are going before you ever leave the ground. Have the nav frequencies written down, or the comm frequencies so you can contact the Tower and ask for directions.

zoomie36 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 x52 profile issue Hi all Having a huge headache with my X52 when I use A-10C. For whatever reason when i make a profile and i use a CTRL or SHIFT key they key is not recognized. For example, CTRL C opens and closes canopy but when i program it and then go to the game it's not recognized. Letters work, for example, W for wheel brake works just fine. Is there something i am doing wrong when i program my X52. I use the test function in the X52 program and it show's the CTRL or SHIFT key works when i select whichever button i programmed but just doesn't work when i go into the sim. :mad::mad::mad: rookie here....sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBenson89 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Do UAVs lase targets automatically? I have been playing the through the inferno mission and sometimes when I drop LGBs they don’t hit what I’m lasing but they always hit something. Circling above the group of targets im attacking are two UAVs and I was just curious if those have the ability to lase and whether or not they are interfering with what I am trying to bomb.
