Hah! It’s because the HART Battalion is a static unit. If i add a Tank battalion it works straight away. (slaps forehead).

TE creation. How to set ground unit way points
I’m setting up some practice missions for myself and want an enemy convoy moving so i can practice mobile attacks.
I have a flight and an enemy battalion……sitting still. According to the manual, page 149;_"Left-click the SA-17 battalion on the map in the UI. A few seconds later its route will appear as a white line with a white circle at its end._Drag the circle to where you want the battalion to move and see the route changing, following Korean roads". It does nothing. I un-tick "set by HQ " and still nothing. I cant get the way point circle/line to appear. I don’t recall it being this difficult. What have i done wrong?

Stuck in dogfight mode
For some reason centring the dogfight switch, (boat switch on Warthog), does not cancel “c” the override modes (“d” and “m”). I have to hit “c” manually. I’m sure it was fine a while back so somethings gone screwy. How do i set these controls to be “momentary” so that they trigger “c” when the switch centres?
Edit
Try this.
Run the configuration app from the Falcon BMS launcher.
Expand on the Hardware tab, and check the Dogfight/Missile Override self cancel is enabled.Yep, that was it. Fixed

Air refueling door open at start
This is a weird one. Every time I enter the 3d world, my aar switch is down and the hatch open. I’ve got no bindings I can see. Not tried cold start to see if that does it too. Will update when I get near pc.
[edit] Please disregard. Opening windows controls i could see some throttle switches were left “on” so one must be the AAR door control.

RE: Stick Trim hat and throttle POV hat cant be assigned
Found the trim issue. I installed ‘alternative launcher’ and it obliterated all my configs. Luckily it creates a backup folder and i restored them all. Won’t touch that again with a 10ft barge pole.
Still no throttle POV, but looks like i need to use Gastones fix to enable that.
[edit]
Adding this to .cfg worked! Cheers Gastone.
set g_nNumOfPOVs 2
set g_nPOV1DeviceID 2
set g_nPOV1ID 0
set g_nPOV2DeviceID 3
set g_nPOV2ID 0 -
RE: Stick Trim hat and throttle POV hat cant be assigned
Make sure your devicesorting.txt is setup correctly. The Joystick should be at the top of the list. If it’s not setup correctly the buttons will not function as described. Also, It’s now possible to use multiple hats but you have edit Falcon Bms.cfg to enable the feature.
POV MAPPING: — Added possibility to override POVs mapping across different devices. (r19837) * New config vars (defaults shown here): set g_nNumOfPOVs -1 // Override number of POV hats. Should be in 0 - 2 range, -1 is override disabled (default) set g_nPOV1DeviceID -1 // Override POV1 hat device ID, -1 is override disabled (default) set g_nPOV1ID 0 // Override POV1 hat ID. Should be in 0 - 1 range set g_nPOV2DeviceID -1 // Override POV2 hat device ID, -1 is override disabled (default) set g_nPOV2ID 0 // Override POV2 hat ID. Should be in 0 - 1 range * Example for a Warthog setup (sets joystick POV as POV1 and throttle POV as POV2): set g_nNumOfPOVs 2 set g_nPOV1DeviceID 2 set g_nPOV1ID 0 set g_nPOV2DeviceID 3 set g_nPOV2ID 0
Thanks, yep, all controllers in order and showing correct DX numbers in BMS GUI, except for stick trim hat and throttle hat which don’t respond at all. Very odd. Both work fine in DCS. I need to find what DX number Windows gives them then reference that on the .key file. Might be something odd there. Mind you. 32 buttons per controller sounds a lot but the TM throttle has……a lot of buttons. That might be over the limit.
I did try the “alternative launcher” but as soon as i ran that it wiped all my configs back to the stone age…sigh. Back in the day i used to make my axismappings.dat file read only and keep backups of my .key files before devicesorting.txt was a thing.
ps. i didn’t know about the .cfg update. Where was that documented? I’ll check that out too. Cheers!

RE: Stick Trim hat and throttle POV hat cant be assigned
I don’t combine them. Started reading “bms device setup guide.pdf”. Trim may be a shifted function. Will try later. As for throttle POV… no idea. I read somewhere it didn’t work with bms.

Stick Trim hat and throttle POV hat cant be assigned
Using “BMS - BasicDX TM Warthog_MFD” which came with the game.
Stick POV shows nothing in controller GUI when pressed and neither does Throttle POV.Is there some odd DX llimit and i have too many buttons?

RE: CCIP release conditions.
That’s whats confusing me. I did 4 CCIP practice runs today and bombs came off every time. I’ve not yet identified the factor that was preventing release originally. I thought it was the bomb profile but the consensus here was that it wasn’t.
If i can reproduce reliably i’ll record a track file. -
RE: CCIP release conditions.
…and the award for today’s dumbest, longest held assumption mistake goes to…. the pilot who for YEARS assumed the “release angle” setting in the bomb profile page meant “dive angle” and not “loft angle”.
As soon as i remove REL ANG from my bomb settings, CCIP works every time!
