A me nessun riavio.

Theres been a lot of talk on the HB forums about the complexity of Aim-54 guidance and its limited simulation in DCS. I dont think there was any talk of there being a big rework of the DCS missile API. And im not sure these limitations have much to do with the topics points, like the missiles acchieved speed or notably affect the tracking capability. Its two issues if I remember correctly: 1. The DCS missile API isnt complex enough to fully replicate the mixture of active/semi-active/guidance-commands over the two missiles and the many different launch modes. So its a bit dumbed down, like the Aim-54C uses coder more akin to a 120, but is generally realistic. 2. In part thanks to overly accurate RWRs in many modules, its too easy to notch the F14/Aim-54.

Some screenshots of Bandits different cloud effects in different lighting conditions. My group all now use his excellent weather and cloud mod, it's a total must have for all DCS virtual pilots. Personally I've been using it since it's very first release and never ever now use the default ED cloud presets. This man is a magician when it comes to "atmospherics" and he deserves much more recognition from everyone in this community and indeed should be incorporated into ED DCS by now. Thank you Bandit for all your hard work. P.S. Mirage 2000D mod by SplitAir and F-18F Tanker by CJS.

Hello, Would it be possible to have a view of the Corsair instead of the rear view when we access the "F4" view ? Thank you in advance. And thank you again for your wonderful work.

This and at least 2 SME's, engineer and fighter pilot, from 2 vastly different air forces.

ah you have a issue with the A-4 break play its one of the only A-4 issues is there moment were the breaks dont answer 1/3 wich can be quite anoying, also watch out because the hook up area of the catapult is the rectangle area just behind the catapult shuttle itself, if you wheel get in front of the shuttle you are out of the hook up area, if you talk about the AI's being stuck be aware that the clem and the foch can only mannage groups of 2 planes , be sure that each groups you do are 2, if my memory is correct try to not have more than 10 planes on the deck @James454

The new Special Options, when left at their default values, work the way they always have so I haven't touched them. So my personal feedback is: it works as it always worked as nothing was changed that has any influence on my setup. The people who those Special Options are for, are those who use a normal springloaded joystick for flying F-16. RealSimulator has YouTube videos explaining all of the settings in their software.

Ночной перелёт

Если ставить "высокую частоту импульсов" (Встреча) и "ППС" - можно захватывать даже с 80...и даже если какой-нибудь 16 идёт с помехой. Дальность отображается корректно. Но тут другая проблема, что как только он пускает 120ку - сразу выполняет отворот градусов на 90 или больше...и тогда, учитывая параметры БРЛС выше, происходит срыв захвата.

Good catch

I would think at this point users with force sensing sticks (and the accompanying software) would be providing some feedback on the F-16 Special tab settings. I get the Special Menu settings vs in game Controls settings for axis tuning, but the interaction with outside software like SimAppPro for the WinWing Orion II MFSSB force sensing stick are a bit confusing. I stumbled on "adequate" settings in SimAppPro + activating the Special tab's two axis and max deadzones that finally made it straightforward for aerial refueling and tight formation work. But in BFM working the stick is a struggle as it's now fairly unresponsive except to what I consider extreme force to manuever the jet. I'm sure somewhere there is a compromise between micro movements needed for AAR and air combat or low level flight in rugged terrain, but it seems more trial and error than theory on how the two systems (outside software, Special menu settings) work together.

I think this would be a good place to start before getting started on the Thud module.

Check your gear handle, that's the problem I had with the gauge not returning to zero.

I feel that what people are saying is that the aileron trim is too coarse. I have found that even with manually setting the aileron trim to the neutral position, I get a roll in either direction in flight. That in itself is okay but I can't adjust the aileron trim in flight to prevent any roll-off to either side. When I use the trim reset, the aileron trim is in perfect neutral with no roll-off. I feel that the aileron trim requires a bit more granularity to be able to properly trim wings level manually. Regards, John

Since we now have user deployable RSBM / PRMG systems in the sim, can we have a deployable ILS? https://www.icao.tv/thales/videos/thales-atm-d-ils

new clouds update incoming?

It doesn't. While it's got way better sensors and air power projection (gas, range, weapon load), the 29 actually has better sustained and instantaneous turn capabilities*. It should also have better vertical capabilities. Plus in it's time, it had the helmet sight over the Eagle with Mikes at best. The Eagle can be dangerous WVR, but it's not a guaranteed win - far from it. Ze Germans found out that you could actually out-bingo an Eagle when playing a bit dirty. But that's in an artificial setup. _____ * that's from Spanky's video, who had a decent amount of hours in both jets

Decided to cancel the Crystal Super order until reviews come out on Dream Air production units. Have a reverb G2 and quest 3 and I can use the G2 with the new driver Oasis driver. With the issues mentioned on this site and the fact that I have not been playing dcs or msfs lately due to family issues I was not comfortable that I could give it a good trial during the 14 day trial period and the delay in getting one if I order later would not affect me much. Thanks everybody for the information.

You can't just roll back a single map or module. You can move to previous DCS version, leaving out any modules and changes that came later.

Ok, got it

Oh, great, after testing this just now I can see that you can place RSBN Glidepath and Localiser cars on both ends using same channel # (they use same RSBN Car to generate beacon), which is great... also I tried putting Glidepath and Localiser in same group (as they share the channel) but then only 1st unit work and the 2nd doesn't, meaning each unit has to be on their own, not part of a group. Thanks for this guide

No they don't. See the following for a description of the proper operation.

Я вот, МИ-8 и крокодила хотел изначально, тем более, что на восьмёрке я очень часто летаю в ирл и восьмёрка мне импонирует сильно, но на тот момент, когда я взял апача и чинука – я не знал, как можно купить наши коптеры в дкс, вот и вся причина

Hi, please include a track replay and your dcs log from the session we will try to assist you thank you
