Ahhh… I get what you meant now. Yes, I should’ve read that more carefully. Also, I found the “Night After Christmas” poem in the FM file. Freakin’ hilarious.

But ....based on the limited documentation out there I believe IRL you cannot actually set a target elevation preflight into the INS/WCS. Though the DTC allows it and the DTC capability is being used to neatly simulate data entry by the ground crew on the ground , IRL there just isn't provision for any altitude entry into the system. Happy to be corrected here.

I like the new George interface. I think it provides a very quick and efficient way to instruct George. I particularly like the Scan TADS LoS* (Long S), which makes it possible to rescan for targets without having to point the same location (as is the case with Petrovich (mi24) which is a minor annoyance).

I tried to upload the track file but its 259,202kb in size..... How can I get it to you when I can't upload it?

Is it possible to fly a F14 in this campaign as a multiplayer pilot and RIO? Do both players need to own the campaign for multiplayer to work?

Works great, thanks! Reason is that real planes in ground parking postion have much better damage effects than structures. When releasing a 2000 pound bomb near structure planes you get only some cluster damages (i.e. holes in the fuselage) - seems very unrealistic for me. Real planes are exlpoding in a more realistic way!

AIM-9 issues continue... I'm not sure of this is related but in the last month, at least 6 AIM-9s on the F-4 have veered off sharply, usually to the right: Is anyone able to look at these bugs?

It is my belief that there is no Baro ranging in the Mig29A. All you have is laser and radalt. Going through the available ( limited) documentation IRL there is no way to input target elevation ( preflight) into the INS/WCS so the system has no knowledge of target altitude. (Happy to be corrected here). The displayed solution is first bomb of the stick not the centre. So to centre the stick you need to pickle short... easy in CCIP ... dont know how you would achieve that in a CCRP release.

умничай по спокойней ЕД сейчас сделало так что включив РЛС на излучение запирается СПО с ППС пока не переключишь переключатель в квази-режим, и тогда СПО отпирается и не реагирует ни как на включение РЛС скажем для замера дальности ! Считаю что Л006Л запирается согласно алгоритма запирания/отпирания приемника самой Н019 на момент импульса, естественно должна быть разовая команда ,так как это быстрее всего "есть" или "нет" характеристики сигнала не знаю 100 кГц или 500 кГц при 0.1 В или 400 В ... ЗЫ делать не рабочей СПО со все полусферы ППС (а это 180 градусов) на все время работы своей БРЛС ,то есть на весь воздушный бой это полная глупость ! ! !

A software-only workaround is possible using vjoy+joystick gremlin. Vjoy can be used to create a new virtual device that will show up in DCS. Joystick gremlin can do a lot of stuff, including remapping your ejection handle pull to "3 pushes of button 1 on the virtual device". Then in DCS map "virtual device button 1" to the ejection control

This is the one startup element which requires me to use the mouse, which is very annoying. Everything else is bound in my cockpit.

Set QNH for ground atttck presumably, otherwise there would be no need for setting a target point elevation. This also assumes that, by design, you must ensure the target is co-located as closely as possible with your current Waypoint.

Sorry, missed that part. [emoji1] Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Thank you for the response. In the track, I demonstrate both L&S automated interrogation, AUTO INT automated interrogation, and manual interrogation. The result is the same in all three cases: friendlies do not reliably respond positively to F/F interrogation. As regards Link 16, yes it is on (you can take control during track play to confirm), although I suspect IFF should be able to operate independently from Link 16. Or am I wrong?

I took a closer look ... here're suggestions for Germany and the UK, just WW2. I went over all the bombs, rockets and checked the data. WW2-US-ordnance will follow. I tested all the stuff and "my" values in single-player DCS-test-missions. Using your script in server-missions for me never resulted in differences to single-player. So hopefully testing in SP is good enough. The values for the explosives are copied from the sources and show kg of the original explosive fillers. There was no conversion into any kind of "TNT-equivalent". If there's a need to balance blast- and fragmentation-damage via the weight of explosives it's up to you, please. In three cases I did changes myself. The German cluster-bomblets got an explosives-upgrade and the British AP-rocket a small charge, too. There's a remark in the comment. The other rockets need an adaption certainly.

Somewhat work in progress for me are the cluster-bombs. First of all: the German-WW2-cluster-bombs are somewhat effective now and useful finally - THANK YOU! I adapted your settings for tests with the German-WW2-cluster and the cold-war BL-755-cluster. All these CBU don't use a rotation of the container to spread the sub-munition. Resulting in a lengthy distribution pattern, 2:1 to 3:1 in real-life. Unless you decide to use different spread pattern for different types of cluster-bombs some "square-"settings might offer a compromise. ...

With that settings your script-produced "cluster-display" is a bit better in line with the (usually) more dense and concentrated cluster-pattern produced by DCS. The DCS-cluster-spread-pattern imho are far from real-world-data, too. It's all we have ... Looks like your script-produced "cluster-display" is lagging behind a bit, usually. The DCS-cluster-centre mostly seems to be in the forward 25 - 33 % of the splash-damage-script. No deviation to the sides and maybe more obvious with smaller cluster bomblets ... any idea why?

That‘s what I meant, yeah.

Here's a simple and cheap solution to make a button input pulse with no software, arduinos, etc. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/299916-guide-simple-cheap-standalone-electronic-solution-for-single-pull-ejection/

And we should set barometric altitude to QFE or QNH for the Mig-29 regarding ground attack?

Does this mean that jamming is currently in testing on dev built? Why else would there be placeholder units in our built? Can you share something about planned scope of the feature? GPS Spoofing AND jamming? Radio comms jamming? Datalink jamming?

The discord link is not working.

Thanks, Grinnelli mod actually does work for me as well as it turns out. It would be great to have more airshow objects if you have them but I'd rather not use any mods which are not publicly available. Perhaps you could upload them on the user files section for all of us? if not no worries. Thanks anyway

Sorry! Here's one attached.OH58D tailwind.trk

Ah, there you have it. DCS does NOT support curves and changes to saturation with FFB. Well known issue. Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Thanks, but which part of the calculation? Just density? Right now it appears only barometric altitude is used in the slant range calculation, not laser
