i cant express myself but i think the best way to do so is to say that you did an absolutley great job. i absolutley loved the vid and you explained it extremly well. only thumbs up from me
Thank you, looks like a really capable aircraft! I noticed some settings in the special options menu regarding the countermeasures programs. Do you happen to have any insight of how to set them up? I am completely lost. I also would like to know how to shut down the engines for a rearm.
If the above has helped, I hope this is not needed but if not then. You need set-up the combination in settings> Special>Su-30. Once that is done. Search inside controls for ECM and bind the keys, remember you have to set dispenser on auto inside Cockpit.
I did a bit of testing and the RWR should work every time if you follow the startup procedure. If the yellow RWR switch is off (see minute 03:50 in video) then when you select the RWR page it will say something like 'RWR Standby'. If the RWR looks like it is on but still no sounds then make sure that all the blue switches behind you on the left are switched on (see 04:35 in video). If the 'bottom' four of these are off then the RWR will not sound even though everything else looks like it is working.
Hmm that is weird. I would recommend you do a DCS repair an see if that helps. also make sure you have version 2.7.50. If that still doesn't work you should report the bug to the devs at... discord.gg/codename-flanker-community-839196573228335185
The mod got updated today = the Start Bar no longer works. it will be added again when they add a ground power feature. You can download the latest version from the developers discord or directly from drive.google.com/file/d/1PKomsw7a-Xv9S7FaUx-dyAwxqxvu7J0o/view?usp=sharing You start the aircraft by pressing the buttons individually rather than using the ‘start bar’. If you hover your mouse over the engine start buttons you can check their proper name (Engine Start Left / Engine Start Right) and look for those in the key binds list.
hey, so I tried to start it up by following the steps shown on your video but I can't start the engines even if I press the button to start them. I'm on 2.9
Are you trying to use the ‘start bar’? If so, that no longer works - you need to start each engine individually by pressing the LH and RH Start buttons one at a time. I usually start the LH engine first and once the rpms have settled I go for the RH one.
It starts with keybind fine. Whatta. Yesterday I had it some how starting with those crank buttons but havnt really got idea how I did it (just pressed buttons till it started one right engine :D) SO Is there even any way to startup without keybind (alt+home and ctrl+home by default) in dcs 2.9.x (latest OB)? Any clue?
@@lasselahti4056 the latest update stopped the startup lever working. To start your engines you need to press and hold the left engine button until you hit 20% and then put the throttle into idle. When that engine is at 70% you can do the same with the right hand engine. The developers have said they will make the start lever work again in a future update but that you will need to have ground power turned on. It doesn’t work yet.
Ok BIG thanks. You are really the ONLY checklist there is for this version :) But yeah got em running that way. Also displays now go on from "R/F"-swith, any other critical changes / errors known, what comes to usage of the plane itself. (I mean the aircraft, weapons work if they work :) ) @@ChattytumblerTCW
@@lasselahti4056hopefully the developers will have a new update soon. I will make a new start up video when they do. I am also making videos for air to ground weapons planned soon.
Right now the mod uses Su-33 avionics for Air-to-Air and Su-25t avionics for Air-to-Ground. So you will need Su-33 if you want to do Air-to-Air operations. FC3 will also work. For Air-to-Ground operations, you don’t need to own any paid modules
If you leave the switch forwards then the plane feels very 'light' and needs you to constantly adjust your heading/angle. Flicking the switch up and the plane feels like it has 'flight assist' mode - it is much easier to fly straight and level in this mode but the controls feel heavier as a result.

@@mikoajbach2629 I am assuming you are starting parked on an airbase. To rearm the aircraft you need to open the communication menu - the default key is \ but sometimes it is #. You should then see the option to 'rearm and refuel'/ You can load your plane from there.
Didn't know there was a SU-30 mod. Properly impressed with the amount of detail for this mod. Thanks for the great intro!

Thank you for the walk thru, I'll be getting it [the update] as soon as set up my new rig.
Just an FYI, FC3 planes can hot refuel, just not hot rearm.
Just a note guys this doesn't work with the MiG-31 mod but other than that, amazing video!
what does this mean? cant have both mods installed at same time?
@@sparrowlt Well not for me, it creates crashes in the mission editor

hey man! I just installed the mod but I've encountered a problem : there's no RWR sound. Do u need to turn it on manually or something? So Strange.

Its amazing that a MOD has GCAS but the Actual Jets like the F16 dorsnt have it.
