I like these fast, to the point, tutorials. Perfect for when you take a break or fly other modules for a while and want to come back and review systems to fly again.👍

I feel like you underestimate the power of the radar. The f16 and fa18 have really powerful radars and the notch filters are so small that it is almost pointless to worry about notch unless you are flying an f14

ACM SubMode STUCK on SLEW??? If your ACM Submode is STUCK to Slew Only and won't come off of it to 20/60/Boresite you need to add a deadzone to the mini-stick/hat-axis you have bound to your Radar Cursor. You can't get the FCR out of slew mode if there is a tiny input sending a slew command. You probably have slight movement on your slew control which auto-overrides any ACM submode selected and puts it into slew. Drove me freaking nuts for hours. The feeling of flying a bugged plane just raises the hairs on the back of my neck and I can't stand it.

I have a question. I recently switched from X-Plane 11 to DCS and Im wondering whether I should buy it. If the F-16C was complete this wouldnt be a question but in this case i would like to question your experience. Do you think Eagle dynamics will complete the F-16C properly or will they just add the most requested features and then leave it uncompleted? The last case happened to me when I bough a DLC A320 for X-Plane 11.
@taerdryn4 жыл бұрын
It will be completed, eventually, but there's no telling how long it might take. On the bright side, a lot of the core functionality is there. I'm relatively new to the DCS community, but from what I have gathered modules tend to spend *years* in early access and I don't think it will be any exception for the Viper. So it really depends if you are looking for the module to be completed soon or if you are okay with it being in Early Access for a long time.

Dogfight switch
@William3000x5 жыл бұрын
The MRM/DGFT Switch on the F-16 Throttle is a 3-states switch. It has Fwd, Center and Aft positions. If you want to get in Dogfight Mode, you press it Aft. If you want to get in MRM (Medium Range Missiles) you press it Fwd. And when you don't need those modes, to go back to whatever mode you were previously, you leave the switch in Center. However, if I understood your question, you're talking about changing the Radar Modes, right? For that, you have to press the Off-Screen Buttons on whichever MFD you have on the FCR page. If the Radar is in "STBY", you press the button next to this word and it will show you the Radar Modes menu, where you can choose whatever mode you want to get into. When you select a mode, that button that was showing the "STBY" will now display the corresponding word for that mode. You press it again and you can change between all the modes like this. I can't remember if there is any button other than the MRM/DGFT to toggle these modes. So, in practicve, what you'll often do is get in A-A Mastermode on the ICP, and you'll get in, by default, in the BVR/CRM, and when you want to switch to DGFT, you simply press the MRM/DGFT AFT. Then when you want to go back to BVR, you just flick the MRM/DGFT back to Center.
