ED has even begun labelling weapons and other stuff. I got a very good idea of what different stuff means just based off of Matt Wagners videos on Youtube and the "Training" missions found with each module. If you got issues, just ask!!! There are lots of people willing to help in lots of different channels. All it takes is a little effort. By contrast, for ED to start explaining literally everything for you in-game is a massive task and not practical. TL;DR: ED only really provides us DCS. It is up for the user to learn how to use it. This is how I feel most of the community approaches all flight sims. (the absolute #1 best amazing and exciting thing about flight simulation is the learning process IMO)

Excellent research. So what we have in DCS resembles some weird combination of fuzes and stuff, which in the end does not resemble any real weapon. @BIGNEWY , can you have a look?

Isn't this a wishlist item? I already have a topic created about CBU-99/MK-20 fuzing options. e: Why are there 2 topics about the same issue? Maybe by accident?

I watched your track. Just as a general improvement, I would drop the bombs at more like M 0.8 than M 0.99. In general, all cluster bombs fall short in DCS, don't know why. I would say that this is more of a general type issue/bug with all weapons.

No problem . I should have stated the "AI" part more clearly. Yes only the 3-D model damage is missing. I only really bothered to report since I know the damage model is there but it is not in the game currently. Yep I think I remember something like that but I could not find it for bump.

I am shooting at the official AI SU-34 in the game. This is not a mod. Have a look at the track please.

As the SU-34 is a fighter bomber and designated as a fighter in-game, I expect it to have fighter taskings. (CAP, Intercept etc.) Currently it can only defend itself in a merge. Edit: To reproduce: -Place SU-34 AI in ME -Attempt to task it with any of the fighter tasks -N/A Given that it has a major arsenal if configured so, it would be nice to actually use it in missions etc. IRL it can operate as a fighter no problem.

SU-34 does not get damaged at all. It just shows up as destroyed. su34 damage model.trk

I also notice this when I NCTR unknowns. The following happens: Target goes from a square to a diamond with NCTR scan. SA page still shows target as unknown even though the target type should now be known thanks to the NCTR.

I presume it should be the same for SEA as well...

+1 NWS is really important since the SU-25 is relatively unstable on takeoff. With crosswind it is very difficult to take off.

I hope they start with the A-10 and the Hornet.

already reported

A situation: I lose 2 wings in an SU-25 Land I get no ground crew option to be able to repair. Why?

@BIGNEWY Sorry for ping, but the DCS wishlist is kinda clogged. Is this QOL change possible at all? I imagine it to be simple enough to implement. Just a simple decimal for the F10 measuring tool since many modules use decimal headings. Thanks.

Just had to post another reply to this (dead) topic. Flew a dangerous low level mission to kill a HVA. Got hit 2 times in the rear by 23mm. Result: Just some boring visual damage and all systems function perfectly fine. The visual damage model suggests that engines are completely shot through but there are no failures. Judging from the direction the shells came from, I should have at least gotten a severe engine nr. 1 failure/fire and a series of L engine issues (hydro, L gen etc.). Now it is just some visuals and a boring RTB. Imagine the thrill of RTB:ing with 1 engine and a fire in the other. Imagine actually extinguishing the engine by using the fire suppression system I was thaught to use in the very first startup training mission... To put it very simply, my point just is that the Hornet does get shot at much more frequently than other fighters thanks to its "A" designation. So I'd say it is sad that the damage model (which is fine with fuel and avionics systems) is severely lacking with engines.

Hey just a friendly heads up: title should be "Aircraft night external lights blooming".

Add 1 or more decimals to F10 measurement tool. QOL improvements: More accurate use of offset waypoints with all (capable) modules. Better use of the Viggen with roadbases etc. Maybe also change the accuracy depending on what coordinate system is in use? So: When using DDMMSS -> XXX degrees When using DDMMSS.SS -> XXX.YY degrees

This is unfortunately not a standard feature (correct if I'm wrong here) among the Russian fleets. The pictures you have are from Poland and Serbia. They have likely modified their airframes. As there is only 1 MiG-29A and S modelled after the RUAF airframes, this seems like an unlikely addition...

I have issues spotting older transport ships and oilrigs on the radar. Some ships are fine.

Seems like some people have issues with F10 waypoints as well. I have not encountered that myself. I do everything according to the manual and it works.

Everytime I try to use ME created waypoints, they completely fail to load on the system. F10 waypoints work as intended. To replicate: Create mission with ME waypoints. Then create a mission with F10 waypoints Only F10 created waypoints work.

You can still post your own topic and then link it to the one related like this. Keeps things organized.

Previous topic about the designation logic. Still under investigation.

Please post your own topic about this issue. Thanks.
