I just bought the MIP instrument panel. I found the software not user friendly and I am still having problems in setting everything up. Are you saying it is not necessary to use the SimApp Pro software? I could just do once the buttons binding (guess I can do that in half an hous!)? That leaves the issues about the usb screens, that have to be "paired" with those of the game. Haw can I do that without using the software? After two days that it worked ok, now the screens are not correct anymore and trying to solve with the software is a nightmare. If you could tell me how to proceede, I would be more than happy not to use their software

What I did was to fix the three parts together with two metal bars and a woodden part (to get a larger surface to clamp on), and then build a soprt of back shade to hide all cables. The final product is clean and can be moved as a single piece in a very easy way! Hera are the pics!

What you see in thos picture is coirrect! Once you save all and start DCS (with app running), you will firt see the screens gop black, but when you jump in the cockpit (try free flight) everithing goes ok!

TOT function does not work anymore as advertised (it used to!). Flying toward wpn4, designated as my tgt for TOT function with GS=360 kts, perfectly on time at 360 knots (and in fact it shows desired GS exactly 360 as I am flying), my TOT is 06.14.00...but if you take a look at the clock, you will see that it's 06.09.59 and the time to wpn4 is 2 minutes, which will bring me to wpn4 two minutes in advance. The indication was the same since the past 15 minutes (two legs before that!): perfectly on time and on speed, but summing up real time and time to destination, two minutes difference remains! Mission on editor, last updated Beta version. Flying in auto pilot mode, ATC at 360kts G/S, Autopilot on BALT+CPL (with WYPT, SEQ1 and AUTO on HSI).

Sorry, I wrote wrongly SAM-6. It was, obviously, a SAM-2 with Fan Song, TGT code 126

Good morning all. After the new update, AGM88 for F-18 has brought some very nice improvements (PB mode), finally giving the opportunity to use the missile close to the real world employment. The problem is...it does not work as advertised!! I Made different trials both in AC and HARM and the resuts are of two difefrent kinds, none of them good. First case: launched agains SAM-6 in pb (WPDSG on tgt). At 36NM I receive indication of being in range and launched at 500feet, .88Mach. The missile correctly starts its climb and reaches 31.000 feet at 23NM from tgt. Starts its descent activating its antenna (Fan Song is reported transmitting by rwr) and at 20NM increases rate of descent, hitting the ground 13NM from the transmitting Fan Song. The only positive issue is that at least it kept its direction toward the target. Second case: as above against same transmitting Fan Song and launching at about 34NM. Everything goes smoothly and the missile is in its descent towarsd the target when at 7NM it abruptly makes a 90° turn to the right trying to reach an unknown radar. In pb you set the location of the emitter via coordinates, and the missile goes up until its apex. Then it starts its descent and opens the antenna searching for the radar I have decide to hit (in this case TGT:126=Fan Song). If the radar is not transmitting, the missile should save its energy still flying toward that transmitetr and, if it eventually start trasmitting, redirect itself on the radar. None of the above works. Second issue: the SP HARM OVRD does not work as advertise, and actually prevents you to use HARM missile if another emitter illuminates you. With HRM OVRD boxed the override should not work, and you should be able to perform your normal attack in TOO or PB mode. Wrong!! If you are illuminated by another radar while attacking your SAM-6 in PB, the cross appears over HARM and there is no way to continue the attack using the AGM-88! If you unbox the HRM OVRD, the only thing you can do is launch in SP mode, which means you are basically wasting your missile. I really hope all this will be fixed, because presently there is no way to perform SEAD mission with F-18.
