Dear ED teams, I have seen recently a post regarding incorrect mass after recent API update. I took the liberty to further dig into the subject after being hit by shots in HOJ mode by F-4 with Aim-7F. My understanding is that irl HOJ is functional on -MH and -P versions only. But it seems -F and -M are equipped with HOJ also. I looked into the file "aim7_family.lua" and found the line "hoj = 1" for all these versions. I guess this explains it. By doing comparison on data (I tried to reverse engineer to understand, but I don't to be honest), I also found differences on other parameters. On versions -M and -MH, there are parameters set as "sensors", with height error lower than on "seekers" parameters. I assume these are for shorter distance, with better guidance or proximity fuse. The "sensors" parameters do not exist for the -P. Also, same reasoning for paramerters such as "gimbal" and "ap", they are not there for the -P. So I guess missile -P has a default behavior for these missing parameters, and thus behaves worse than -M and -MH in specific areas. Areas that I don't know about. I am not sure if all this is correct, nor do I know if that is realistic. But I saw it, so I thought I could raise it and maybe help to fine tune the missiles without too much workload, that is: removing hoj for -F and -M, and adding the missing parameters for -P. If that is indeed correct. Thank you very much in advance for taking care of Fox-1, many cold war enthousiasts like me appreciate it very much. JAR. Example Aim-7 M sensor = { delay = 0, op_time = 80, FOV = math.rad(12), sens_near_dist = 100, sens_far_dist = 60000, ccm_k0 = 0.2, aim_sigma = 4.0, height_error_k = 25, height_error_max_vel = 60, height_error_max_h = 300, hoj = 1, }, seeker = { delay = 0.6, op_time = 75, FOV = math.rad(120), max_w_LOS = math.rad(20), sens_near_dist = 100, sens_far_dist = 30000, ccm_k0 = 1.0, aim_sigma = 5.5, height_error_k = 100, height_error_max_vel = 138, height_error_max_h = 300, hoj = 1, }, aim7_family.lua

I can’t manually start/shut down the jet so am I a bit screwed for this mission?

So... Moved the 'eyeball' back 0.02 (x_trans = -0.020000,-- 0.000000), which is about as far, until the canopy shield gets unrealistically intrusive. Somewhat of an improvement. Bowie

Just enable the dlls overlay at dlss swapper options and you will see the version thait is running in this moment, with the preset and the scale

ok, see your problem. Your first entry in the Advanced (Waypoint Actions) table is FAC -a. This is an enroute Task where the FAC looks freely for targets and he has chosen the target with above coordinates. Your FAC - Assign Group("Ground 1 ") command is number 5 in the list. If you want the FAC only assign the "Ground 1" you have to delete the first entry, the FAC -a

hello, as is always the case, please post your dcs.log. also do you have exceptions in your AV software for the DCS install folder and the DCS folder in Saved Games?

LOL!! I was just coming here to ask about this!! Sad to lose my daytime AN/AVS-7 HUD, but I guess I will survive

ok, 14000 F10 screen shots is a lot Is there a way to automate it? And with the same technic you should be able to get the road network of a map via the altitude map in the mission editor. Make pictures with roads switch on, and roads off. Subtracts them and the difference is the road network. (or rivers or towns or electrical power lines)

fully agree, its just that the free use of terms like "stolen" rubs me the wrong way ..

..пару лет назад сказали твердо, весной ждите.. Правда я уже в ДКС давно не заходил, снес его, ничего не жду уже.

Maybe it's better to create a separate thread related to the submod "Armed Blackhawk", so that it concerns only the "official work" of @Kinkkujuustovoileipä as in the title? Better not to mix these two mods in one topic for greater clarity I think. Thx!

Hey @Bankler, any thoughts on adding directors to the mission? Maybe an option to populate the deck a bit more with some static units for a more lively experience?

Repaired, deleted all mods. Recreated mission from scratch. Still reports me BS. Should report around WE0355904338 jtac-and-targeting-problem.miz jtac-coordinates-issue.trk

Yes most have both

Working on it... I need some time to get an update for Armed Blackhawk out following the v2 release to ensure I don't conflict with Kinkkujuustovoileipä's work.

What I care most about is keeping Betty/Nadia/Rita/Natasha in Russian. The English one sounds horrible in Wags videos, like a robot

Yeah, right...

I've imagined a similar penalty in the very moment I rejected the task; just finished my second attempt, this time honored the call and obtained full score. Many thanks to spent your time to support us, especially me that at time can be very annoyng

Hmm do the servers tend to have both the FF and FC3 versions of the F-5 available as an example? I thought it tended to be only the FF one (but now I'm doubting myself )

I have no idea how it works in your country, but in mine auto builders have to keep a stock of spare parts by law, so the auto industry comparison does not work. If Ugra goes out of business today, what will you think when Syria or Germany stop to work? Anyway, we should not go off topic on this threat.

Да всё можно. Просто по референсу сделали. Кот, как мы поняли, делался с заблёванного бомжатника. Вот. А кабина референсного МиГа значит была пластмассовая. Поэтому так и выглядит.

I've also struggled to hit with Shrikes on this mission. I have been able to take out the SA-2 with guns, but have gotten killed by AAA to get close enough. The briefing makes it sound like success is not assured, so perhaps it's programmed to make the missiles unlikely to hit.

Are the details of tanker location for each mission somewhere I'm missing? The briefing for the missions gives a callsign, but does not specify a location or altitude. Page 13 of the inflight guide has the general tanker tracks with locations levels and even A/A TACAN, but I'm not seeing a direct connection between the two. In Mission 2, for example, Texaco 6-1 is definitely in AR-641A. I used the inflight guide to find it using TACAN, but only after seeing that the tanker was in that sector. It was also at FL 240, and the guide says that the maximum altitude is 230. It's easy enough to figure it out with the F10 map, but is there a more immersive way to figure out the refueling plan of the day? By the way, the overall level of immersion in this one is outstanding. When there was a minor glitch in the aerial refueling that caused Jester to switch to the wrong frequency, I was able to address it by checking the guide for the tanker frequency and then dialing that in and taking command. Love the attention to detail!

HI. I have now flown the F86 a little more and I think it is ok I have to pull the stick a little less in turns, have a more gentle controlled pull and it is ok the airspeeds does not drop that much. I guess one just needs some practice after all.
