I find it difficult

If you loaded a TM Warthog profile, you're looking for the HOTAS IFF IN and IFF OUT commands.

Hello!

First of all, thanks for all the tutorials; I come from FreeFalcon, and it is not nearly as realistic as this, so your tutorials help a lot.

I have a question;

When you fly as number 2 with the AI, do I have to host the Datalink or do I have to connect to the lead aircraft's?

Just a helpful hint when you are in MARK if you press 0 on ICP it will automatically change you steer point to that mark point so you don't have to go to ICP 4 and enter in 27.

@CaptainPaul12 right-ctrl-o is comms switch left and right control-p is comms switch right.

[DiamondEyeProduction]

Great tut but CTRL O doesn't do anything for me. Maybe I'm using a different keymapping. What is the command for CTRL O so I can look it up?

Thanks.

[tanit]

@DiamondEyeProduction You have to hold it down for about 2 seconds. You might have to do it twice.

[DiamondEyeProduction]

@tanit Cheers. Will try! :)

[tanit]

@DiamondEyeProduction Also make sure its right CTRL

[SANC2775]

what is control of? or what do you mean? type contrl and what else?

[tanit]

@SANC2775 Look at the video description. I uploaded a screenshot of my advanced control settings.

[Jellybeantiger]

TMS up?Where is that?

[tanit]

@Jellybeantiger All the TMS and DMS buttons are in the HOTAS bindings.

[SANC2775]

QUESTIONS HOW CAN I USE 3D INSIDE THE PLANE LIKE A 10C WARTHOG DCS?

[tanit]

@SANC2775 Enable FOV perspective in the advanced controls

Would love to see a tutorial video on multiplayer communications. Lots of "contact niner-oh-niner-niner-three-nin­er-two angels oh-niner". Still have a ways to go on just flying the ship and mastering the systems, but after that I'd still be hesitant to jump into MP as I wouldn't easily decipher what everyone is chatting about. Related, perhaps info on what it means to be a good wingman, etc.

[TheSuay]

Just a quick question! Does this apply in single player too? What i've usually done is when i see a air target on my FCR, I'd lock it up and say "Engage my target" -- after watching this tutorial i can sense that he doesn't get the target assigned, i'd actually have to lock it up, then hit "2" (if im lead) on the right of the FCR. Same goes for ground targets i assume? This is strictly related to SP where i have AI flying with me :)

[tanit]

@TheSuay I don't know because I don't play SP much, however, the FCR functions just assign targets, it doesn't tell your wingmen to magically do anything. For that, you need to probably use the comms as you figured out.

Excellent tutorial. Thanks for the training. :)

Poor fisherman. :P
