Navigation Tutorial Anyone?

[mooshim]

I've searched around...

 

There used to be a .pdf around explaining HSI and IFR nav and I can't seem to find it now.

 

It got erased before installing a card that could handle this sim...:cry:

 

Patch crashes me on impact of just about every weapon :( so...I thought I might match my wits to something else.

 

A link or two would be a big help.

 

Thanks in advance.

This might be of use to someone else as well.

I think this is it. (posting for others who might be looking)

It was made with/for some old video game I've never heard of, but might be useful in this sim. :)

 

Cheers,

wow! only 88 pages of info. Must have taken someone ages to do that, never mind research it.

As a newcomer to the A10, how would this be applied, can we apply it to the warhog?

I could not tell at present as don't know enough about navigation yet.

Next is to set the correct band. In F4, we have the X band (for ground) and Y band (for air).

Strictly speaking it’s not 100% accurate, but it’s the way it’s supposed to work in F4. To

change the band, simply input “0” (zero) in the scratchpad and press ENTER. That will toggle

the band from Y to X to Y … (see figure above right)

Would be nice to know if this is the standard in DCS too, X band for ground, and Y band for air?
