i sold my comp so i gotta wait for the new one to play :(
but when it arrives i wanna join your session !
only thing, i think that tanker plane should have the hose extended... i would do it if i could edit fsx models... but apparently thats impossible, unless you make a whole new one ehhe
cheers!

Sounds good to me :). And yeah, I'd need to install a whole different model if I were to use a proper tanker, and I didn't want to make the package any larger :P.

Most? Anyways, under the Multiplayer Network Settings (on the multiplayer tab of FSX), try changing the timeout and keep alive to 300.

When I press TACAN 57 with the "X" select I do not get any indication on the HUD to help me establish on the localizer and glideslope. The same goes for if I press ILS 57, or simply use 112.00 as the inserted freq.
Any ideas on how to correct this?
Thanks

Might want to ask the author of the HUD, Jivko Rusev. I use ILS 57 :X and it works fine for me, but I don't know much about using the Acceleration FA-18 avionics beyond that :P.

I can't say Jivko either :P. Supposed to have the s/j sound from pleasure or treasure in the beginning, but I still can't do it right :P.
And a couple screenshots from a not-as-large session we had yesterday :).
This time we managed to be in formation on the runway, but didn't work as well once we got in the air :P.
On the catapults testing what may be a solution to the carrier location discrepancy ;D.

Make sure you bring up the HUD Controller (Shift+2) and select NAV1 on the "Steer" switch. You won't get your steering cues unless you do.
(Also make sure you have the ILS switched "on" too or you wont get your glide slope markers.)
(Also, also, you gotta be within range of the carriers for both systems to be active...check the documentation for precise details)
TACAN:
57x for Javiers carriers
47x for default carrier

If you get the distance to the carrier followed by 'TCN' in the lower right corner of the HUD - then you are tuned in. The ILS needles will appear if you are within 35 degrees left or right from the runway centerline, just like a normal land-based runway ILS. Now if you press TCN-5-7-X (for Nimitz) and you still don't get the 'TCN' indication on the HUD, there is something else, and I will need to see a screenshot to find out what.

Did you get any pics of me doing a trap just ahead of you while you were parked with your JetRanger on the 1 wire? You are a crazy man and that made the session a whole lot of fun. Plus, I really liked your approach with the JetRanger. Kinda bumpy but very funny!
I think Im gonna stick to calling you JR. Ji-FFFFFF-ko just doesnt sound well when I say it, so hope you dont mind JR. I mean a "JR, break left" call sounds better.
Later

Unfortunately I don't have that shot... Usually if I don't have FRAPS on, I forget to press the 'V' key for screenshot ;) Indeed I prefer JR, much easier to say than Jivko ;D I had a very cool idea what to fly for the next weekend session, but I might not be able to attend cause I will be out of town.

I tried out what you typed and I still have no TCN indication, or ILS information. I do however get the TCN/ILS info when I tune into KNPA. So something is a-miss somewhere with my installation. I'll post some piccies also.
