@@wahtx7717 I just start Tacview before I start il2. It’s a separate program.

@@ChattytumblerTCW alright thanks m8

@@airsteve65 if the press when the countdown hits 8 seconds then that will be fine. If you accidentally press it before the ‘second’ countdown then just press and hold until the weapon releases.

@@ChattytumblerTCW thx a lot, for me this is the very important information 👍

Great question. I just checked and you are right, the kneepad method no longer works. The procedure has been updated. Changing the code is now done through the ground crew via the 'refuel rearm' option. I just made a short video for you where I show the new method... czcams.com/video/o8CdrLi3HkU/video.html

@@ChattytumblerTCW Thank you so much for the reply. I was up way to late last night trying to figure this out. And yes it is done through the ground crew or in mission editor. But since I load the plane on the ground, the mission editor method doesn't work for what I am doing. Thnaks again & I enjoy the content.

Yeah the patch has broken it. I see you’ve made a bug report on the forums. Hopefully we will get a fix next update :(

@@ChattytumblerTCW I saw your reply too. I was thinking that Im doing something wrong, and from 2 days I tried to explain what's going on and why it doesn't work, now its clear. Full procedure and qiuck mode doesnt work now. I hope we will see hot fix soon, in June Patch with Kiowa.

@@ChattytumblerTCW RB-04E has issue too, looks like all A2S missiles have a problem now :(

I've just tried again this morning and the recent patch seems to have broken the RB15. I get the same result, the missiles crash when they jink. I also tested the longer setup version using Bx7 and Bx8 waypoints and the missiles missed completely (when I was hitting 10/10 before)!

fascinating, well atleast it wasnt me being at fault i guess thanks lol

Does the audio only come out of one side? If so I’ll delete this video, it was only to show some on something anyway :)

Have you landed at a friendly airbase? A neutral or enemy base might not reply to you.

@@ChattytumblerTCW yea, also i noticed that the comms menu does not work (i used the rearm menu)

Are you trying to use the ‘start bar’? If so, that no longer works - you need to start each engine individually by pressing the LH and RH Start buttons one at a time. I usually start the LH engine first and once the rpms have settled I go for the RH one.

I 2nd the motion, otherwise fantastic tutorial. Looking forward to next week when I'm off work so I can buy a car ( just passed my test @54 yrs old ) and play DCS mossie :D

Thanks for your question! The rudder and brakes are linked. If you are travelling in a straight line and want the aircraft to stop you would just hit the brakes as normal. For turning the aircraft while taxiing you need to hit the brakes and press the rudder. So, if you wanted to turn left you would apply the brake AND push your left foot forwards. The more rudder you apply the harder the brakes will squeeze and the tighter the turn. The aircraft is quite ‘light’ on the ground so you may see in the video that I am constantly tapping the brakes and applying a little rudder to keep the aircraft under control - if you leave the aircraft turning too long it can be hard to get it back in track without spinning out. Hope that helps explain it a bit better.

@@Wolfhound223 well done on passing your driving test! I hope you love the mossie - it’s great fun to fly and the Normandy map looks amazing as you zip over it at 20ft :)

@@ChattytumblerTCW Thank you!

Exactly! Those cows won’t defend themselves :)

Probably not, but I do need to make some more missions using the improved maps :)

I did a bit of testing and the RWR should work every time if you follow the startup procedure. If the yellow RWR switch is off (see minute 03:50 in video) then when you select the RWR page it will say something like 'RWR Standby'. If the RWR looks like it is on but still no sounds then make sure that all the blue switches behind you on the left are switched on (see 04:35 in video). If the 'bottom' four of these are off then the RWR will not sound even though everything else looks like it is working.

Hey man thanks for reaching out! I'll try layer and let you know! Thanks! @@ChattytumblerTCW

hey man, here I am. So, I've checked and ALL switches are ON as you told me. So really, I dont know what the problem could be :( @@ChattytumblerTCW

Hmm that is weird. I would recommend you do a DCS repair an see if that helps. also make sure you have version 2.7.50. If that still doesn't work you should report the bug to the devs at... discord.gg/codename-flanker-community-839196573228335185

Make sure your master mode is set to Air to Ground. Then, when you TDC forwards to make the HUD your active sensor then the AGR mode should activate automatically. Enjoy strafing like a sniper! :)

@@ChattytumblerTCW Interesting... Thx a lot! 👍😊

Great question! I have an Nvidia RTX 3080Ti. My processor is an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, my motherboard is a Rog STRIX B550F and I have 32gb of 3600Mhz memory. As I don't use VR I get to play with some really nice graphics :)

@@ChattytumblerTCW Nice man! Great setup!

They come with the game :) Select ‘Mission’ from the main screen then select F-18. You should then see all the built in missions.

thanks!!@@ChattytumblerTCW

@@ChattytumblerTCW This mission doesn't seem to work for me, as when I attempt to contact the JTAC all I get is a second of static, then nothing. =/

@@Mistermixmaster I haven't flown this mission in a long time so I just gave it another go. You are correct, the radio frequency doesn't work any more :( I just get a click of static. I'll report it on the DCS forums.

@@ChattytumblerTCW You're a legend for that. Thanks man!

what does this mean? cant have both mods installed at same time?

@@sparrowlt Well not for me, it creates crashes in the mission editor

If you leave the switch forwards then the plane feels very 'light' and needs you to constantly adjust your heading/angle. Flicking the switch up and the plane feels like it has 'flight assist' mode - it is much easier to fly straight and level in this mode but the controls feel heavier as a result.

I don’t think I ever uploaded this mission. I’ll take out some of the mods (to make it more user friendly) and upload it to DCS this week :) I’ll comment again when it’s available.

Thank you, that would be most appreciated.@@ChattytumblerTCW

Right now the mod uses Su-33 avionics for Air-to-Air and Su-25t avionics for Air-to-Ground. So you will need Su-33 if you want to do Air-to-Air operations. FC3 will also work. For Air-to-Ground operations, you don’t need to own any paid modules

@@ChattytumblerTCW ohh ok thanks i was quite confused with it :)

It starts with keybind fine. Whatta. Yesterday I had it some how starting with those crank buttons but havnt really got idea how I did it (just pressed buttons till it started one right engine :D) SO Is there even any way to startup without keybind (alt+home and ctrl+home by default) in dcs 2.9.x (latest OB)? Any clue?

@@lasselahti4056 the latest update stopped the startup lever working. To start your engines you need to press and hold the left engine button until you hit 20% and then put the throttle into idle. When that engine is at 70% you can do the same with the right hand engine. The developers have said they will make the start lever work again in a future update but that you will need to have ground power turned on. It doesn’t work yet.

Ok BIG thanks. You are really the ONLY checklist there is for this version :) But yeah got em running that way. Also displays now go on from "R/F"-swith, any other critical changes / errors known, what comes to usage of the plane itself. (I mean the aircraft, weapons work if they work :) ) @@ChattytumblerTCW

@@lasselahti4056hopefully the developers will have a new update soon. I will make a new start up video when they do. I am also making videos for air to ground weapons planned soon.

Well even this vid got you a new subscriber :)@@ChattytumblerTCW

Your wish is my command... czcams.com/video/Gs9NN-_S9QU/video.html

If the above has helped, I hope this is not needed but if not then. You need set-up the combination in settings> Special>Su-30. Once that is done. Search inside controls for ECM and bind the keys, remember you have to set dispenser on auto inside Cockpit.

Here is how to refuel and rearm. You can use this to begin the shut down procedure... czcams.com/video/Gs9NN-_S9QU/video.html

The mod got updated today = the Start Bar no longer works. it will be added again when they add a ground power feature. You can download the latest version from the developers discord or directly from drive.google.com/file/d/1PKomsw7a-Xv9S7FaUx-dyAwxqxvu7J0o/view?usp=sharing You start the aircraft by pressing the buttons individually rather than using the ‘start bar’. If you hover your mouse over the engine start buttons you can check their proper name (Engine Start Left / Engine Start Right) and look for those in the key binds list.

Thank you for your kind words! Your dad sounds amazing. Always a pleasure to help fellow players enjoy flying - my next A4 Skyhawk mission is already in testing and it's for the VA-212 in Vietnam 1967. I will be sure to record it when my squadron tests it this weekend! PS You don't have to be good to join a group - the whole point of a group is to learn together!

@@ChattytumblerTCW how did you click on the iraninan gunboat from F-10 map ..and go to it without clicking through EVERY single ship/runway/plane to get to it ?...looked like you went from F-10 right to the gunboat

@@weed89ilt F9 cycles through ships but if you left click on the gunboat first and then F9 it will jump to that ship first
