All Activity

This sounds suspiciously like a mission that I made, so I'll try a stab at it. If you choose communications->Other->Formation/Intercept & Escort, you get a menu that allows you multiple choices, for example "Team: OH58D". While you can choose any option, you must be at 300 AGL for the choice to have any effect, else you get a notice and your choice is ignored. So, I recommend that you take off, get above 500 AGL and then try again. A Kiowa should appear in front of you, flying your current heading, to allow you practicing formation flight with it.

I would like to request the external draw argument values of TPODS be added to the lua scripting engine. Scenario: Mission designer wants to know the coordinate where the sensor is looking. It is possible to do this if the targeting sensor has external draw argument values. (For example the TADS on the Apache has draw argument values) However for Fixed wing aircraft, the Targeting sensor is often a Store and does not provide draw argument values. (ie. Lightening or Sniper pod) The exception to this is the F-14. Heatblur provided the Draw argument values for the LANTIRN POD. I would like to request this be done for all the targeting pods on all aircraft. Here is a short video of the draw argument values being used with the lua scripting engine.

I thought it could not. Can't remember where i read, but was mentioned that mig-21bis can't guide Grom missile. Can exact version of mig-21 that is in DCS guide it ? Thanks.

JDAM has a CEP of 5m, so 50% chance of falling within 5m and 50% chance of dropping further away. So the question is, how far were the ls-6 falling from the target, and which bombs op was using cause they talk about blast radius.

Yep. To tell the truth I have tried to create a campaign for this simulator twice. The first has been planed on Caucasus map, the second one on Syria map. But both times I stopped after creating 4 missions because of the updates which were ruining everything. I worked hard to test each mission and make it work to the end at least in 90% of occurrences. It took me around a month. I was fighting the dumb AI to get over all the bugs of the core game and make it do the job. Because it is not working when you just tell the AI do "X", it wil do "A, C, G, Y" but not "X". But then the update comes and bring a lot of changes to the core game and all of the triggers stop working as they were and the AI behaviour changes and a lot of new bugs appearing and all of the work I have done I were need to rebuild and retest to make it work again. So I just stopped doing it. To understand it better. I was trying to create campaign were there will be allied AI ground and air units which will help you to achive the victory. But because each update were ruining my missions, I had to make a lot of fixes to make them working again. Because the AI may stop dropping bombs on the target for example and start dropping them to early so they will impact the ground to far of the target and do no damage at all. So I have started to create a triggers which were exploding the targets when the bomb is entering the trigger zone. I just made a timer which will wait a minute so the bomb will impact the ground and then all the targets will explode themselves. In a short, a lot of work should be done and it can be ruined by the next update. So I started to create a simple missions for myself and even not touching them anymore. Because in a couple of the next updates they may even start working as intended again.

Nope, I was wrong to trust sites over manuals. Sorry. It is how you said. Only thing not mentioned is not just pilot manually returnig jfs start switch to off will stop jfs and deplete reservoirs. Misfire probability is still a thing which ground crew needs to be prepared for. Now only things that remains not simulated fully is START 1. START 1 could be simulated in a way to have probability to "misfire" which also results in one depleted bottle. Second start 1 attempt with last remaining bottle and if fails again, you're done. Ground crew JFS refill is needed then. Misfire usually has higher probability in hot temperature, higher MSL altitudes, JFS bottles condition (pressure). START 2 already has high start probability in RL and should remain as is. Thank you. Best regards.

Haven't found a report about the following, at least not with the search criteria I used. See also tracks attached. Have an AH-64 armed with Hellfires at least on the right inboard station. Be on the ground, open cockpit door and hit CTRL + E three times to ground egress the helicopter and look from the outside. Do this both for pilot and CPG. Pilot comes to a stop after the egress animation with the missiles through his body: The CPG is floating in a 45° angle in the air...

Found working livery links for sir galahad and the rest of the round table class logistics ships. Including HMAS Tobruk thank you very much @crazyeddie!

This is incorrect. The block and tape of F-16 that is modeled in DCS indeed doesn't support SADL, but it supports full 9-line text messages and CAS IP/TGT steerpoints to be received via IDM.

Make sure you only installed the mod in the saved games folder directory. Also make sure that when you open the F-104 folder in the saved games directory, that there is not another F-104 folder in there. If you open the F-104 folder you should see multiple different folders and some files. The message you see is because you installed it wrong. But to figure out where you made a mistake, we need more infos. Can you attach a screenshot of your explorer with the mod and installation path?

Well, it's how many of the paid and included campaigns work. But you're right, it depends on what you're trying to achieve. Unless I'm missing something, this functionality could have been enabled if they'd provided a range of scores for a "draw" and not just 50. Even so, the tool would still remain tragically basic and inadequate, when it should've been so much more.

That's what I did. I also run a slow repair...I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...

Снимал летя прямо на цель или под углом к ней? Этот радар хорошо картографирует то что сбоку, а не строго перед собой.

O.K. may be I didn't understood it well then. The whole idea of the Georgian Oil Wars campaign was that if you fail a mission than the enemy forces advancing so you can fail the whole campaign in the end. But if you win the mission then the allied forces advancing. The different missions for each stage are simulating the different situations of allied / enemy forces advantage. So each time you play the campaign it will be slightly different and each time you advance / fail the situation will be slightly different. To replay exact same mission is a little bit borring I guess. Anyway everyone want to implement his / her ideas as they want.

What ever happened to this?

Even like that sorry my DCS is in French, and i use a TQS mission pack Christian

I haven't checked the campaign (yet), and I understand all of the above. What I would like is, that if you fail a mission, you stay in the same stage and get the same mission you just failed. Are you sure it does that? According to the manual, and my limited testing, that is incorrect. If you get 50 points (exactly) you stay in the same stage (what I want). If there is more than one mission, you could get any of them (what I don't: I would like the player to get the same mission they just failed). Thank you for replying. I don't believe it is (easily) possible using the Campaign Builder, and have decided to restructure my campaign in a different way.

"No Mig-21": not true, Mig-21PFM could do it, but clarification should be asked from Magnitude 3 if the other versions of Mig-21 in Yugoslav service had the modifications to carry it, especially since one of the SMEs is an active pilot and instructor on Mig-29 and the Mig-21 airplanes were taken out of the service few years ago. E.g. it's a well known fact that Yugoslavia modified their Mig-21s to level that it could use domestic IADS instead of soviet one, by replacing the DL components on receiving end. Mid 70s this was AS-74, and mid 80s AS-84. Once the GCI officer designates the target, the figher would receive updates automatically. I point you to the book "Nebo na dlanu", written by Rajica Bošković. I also would like to point out that at this time development of domestic guided missile also called Grom was in progress. If you have technical reasons for Mig-21bis not being able to guide it, I recommend you to post a topic in Mig-21 section. Mig-29: true, this missile was never used. The only option for any other precision weapons on 9.12 was the upgrade offered in 1996, as a part of the overhaul, which included Kh-29T, however this upgrade is not modeled for the time being. Source: Mirčeta Jokanović interview at TV Front. However this upgrade never took place due to the internal political factors.

Pre designation gives you correction for either wind or target movement. You do this by holding lock button, putting reticule on target, and releasing lock button. After 2 seconds The correction will have been computed once you place the reticule on the target a second time. It is better then say MiG-23, where it is required to keep reticule exactly on target for a few seconds. After releasing lock button laser ranges and builds mathematical model of where target should be if stationary/no wind in comparison to your speed height and movement. After two seconds the FCS assumes your reticule is on target and produces correction for that position. So when you place reticule a second time and fire, the proper movement/wind correction is calculated. One thing with this is that the calculation only lasts around 8-10 seconds, then you will need to do it again, and is only for that specific target. A stationary target in no wind requires no correction so no pre designate needed. Hmmm? Any MiG-21 with RP-21 radar could guide the missile. It was designed entirely for MiG-21. I think you will find the normal weapon aiming mode very precise. It will be very precise for bombs and gun, rockets will be more precise the faster you are.

And no video of the mig 29 from wags, it is the silent before the storm

It is possible. You should look on the SU-25T Georgian Oil Wars campaign. It comes with the DCS core game. It have a couple of missions for each stage. For example 4 different missions for stage 1, 4 different missions for stage 2 e.t.c.. When you success the mission you will be promoted to one of the next stage missions. If you are fail a mission you will go back to one of the previous stages missions. It set in the campaign manager that if you get 50 points or less for the mission it will roll you back to the previous stage. If you will do more than 50 points than you will be promoted to the next stage. Again, look into the Campaign manager and not into the Mission manager. You can open the SU-25T campaign and loook how it is implemented exactly. Because its a free campaign and you can do with it whatewer you want. You can even change it. The same campaign was redone for Ka-50. So you can also look into this campaign as well. But it is doesn't matter a lot. It is the same campaing but for different aircraft.

The runway is also not level; a significant difference in elevation is visible. The tower was located in a bunker near the runway and is not located to the south like it is today. The open shelters lack camouflage netting. And the grass along the runway could use a bit of mowing.

Если СПО здесь и вправду будет различать работу ГСН ранних амраамов только в упор то это будет... интересно.

Коды от 1111 до 1788 условно описывают частоту повторения импульсов лазерного излучения. Длина волны - это другое и от кодов няз не зависит. У апч не лазерно-лучевое командное, а полуактивное наведение на отраженный сигнал. Х-25 по идее должно быть возможно наводить на лцу апача, но как-то надо понять куда направить ракету чтобы она увидела отраженный сигнал. Поиска лазерного пятна на Шквале няз нет.
