I just like it that one of my most favorite planes got some love! The F-5E really flies so, so well, imho one of the best flying models in DCS! Brushed up cockpit is a nice place to be. Personally I would add some AIM-9M's. Would the real one be able to sport those, or does it lack something (cooling?) to operate them? P5 is not so bad either of course.

Is the Barax pod still working after the latest patch? I don't get any lights and also no jamming out of it?

Yes I have the same problem, sometimes Jester wakes up and guides me to target and instructs when to pickle, sometimes he just remains silent, I fly over the target and nothing happens. Weird! It seems to work if I set for each bomb I drop the laser code again with Jester commands.

I keep it for sure! Great aircraft, niice A2G radar!

Yes best is to recheck the loadouts in the mission. I had dud problems in the Hornet until I just redefined the loadouts I was carrying in the ME.

Yes the problem is still there, impossible to hit the target with Mk20 / CBU-99. Bizarre: CBU-105 still works perfectly! I'll try a bit to play with the timing in Mk-20, in wind-free conditions!

PS am I right that with the older fuses M90E4 you get a dud on BRU pylons? I had to change the default loadout settings to a more modern fuse to avoid the dud showing up, preventing release.

Yes sorry forget the rant we're mixing 2 problems here. I do not have issues with the fuze settings and cannot replicate the dud issues, but I do have the unrelated problem mentioned by MoCluck with the CBU-99's in auto mode that veer off far from course. But that's for another thread I suppose.

Let me add a classic rant from my side! Cluster bombs are broken by this "realism" update. The only real thing is that many of the missions I worked hard to design no longer work. This whole fuze thing makes no sense at all. They will not sell even one extra module by developing this "functionality". If I want to know more about fuzes, I'll read a book. ED, I have almost all your modules. How are you going to make new money by spending time on harassing existing customers with futilities instead of focussing on new modules for me to buy? What is the business model behind this nonsense?

I still fly FC3 and Full-fidelity modules interchangeably, often in the same session. I can enjoy both. I'm often too lazy to do a cold start with the full modules, but do want to do a proper landing each time. I think what I would like most is even better atmospheric modelling (which has improved substantially over time), regardless of the module modelling. And of course the flight model. I bought almost everything from ED, so they shouldn't worry too much what they choose to prioritise!

For me, not every bug is worth fixing, as long as it are no showstoppers. There's plenty enough that works very well in DCS to enjoy. What certainly needs to be avoided is endless tweaking of missile and weapon performance parameters (which are by nature confidential) based on hearsay and community opinion.

Same here. On Harrier, M2000, F-15E. Detected: PUA:Win32/GameHack Status: Active Status: low risk

Aha, I did get a hit when I put the target size for the Elny to "medium" instead of "large"! Will try further.

Yes indeed, as I read in another thread that that was a problem. But to no avail!

The C-802AK missiles do not seem to track anymore, it seems they do not engage their own radar. They keep missing any sea target, even large ships a like Elnya in any mode I tried, even when the ship is dead in the centerline. It also seems that when you use the radar in SEA1 as well as with the TPod you do not get an Altitude reading for the target. But even if I type in the coordinates manually in COO mode, the targets are just overflow or missed by quite some margin. I tested both in Caucasus map as in Persian Gulf.

Yes, indeed, short right. But maybe I have to remap my keybindings, will try that, if it works for you it should also work for me!

Am I doing something wrong? Petrovich lists targets, but I cannot select from the list like before? So I also cannot give the fire command, as he just then searches again? I'm stuck here. Could it be that, as there are many targets, he is still building the list for ages?

Works, many thanks!

When having set markpoints on the map, it doesn't load them in the CAS page? There is also some confusion if the markpoints need to be named T01, T02, ... or TP1, TP2, ... but none of it works.

I still have the problem, I can only fire one LMAV. The second just doesn't want to uncage.

Did anyone try out the loft rocket attack tactic that both sides are using with their SU-25's given the SHORAD/MANPAD threat ? Not very precise but if you know the location of the enemy forces it is doable, by putting it as a waypoint. I come in low and pull up for a loft shot from about 2 / 2.5 km from the waypoint See attached mission if you wanna try. It's quite cool, as is the low level flying by itself of course.

Very strange, in one of my missions where the AI SU-25's are supposed to target vehicles like BMP's and Bradleys with Kh-25ML they completely miss their targets. I mean WAY off! When swapped in for Su-25T this problem does not seem to occur. When I fly the SU-25 in the same mission, I have no problem hitting the targets. I have the same prpblem in the latest stable build for STEAM as well as in the latest Open Beta.

Djeez did I loose a lot of time with the waypoints from the ME not working before realizing something was wrong. How do you load waypoints from the F10 map? Is there a quick tutorial on that somewhere?

I guess AI aircraft apply the same logic? Would explain what happened to me with the (un)friendly AI. Was in a furball situation where I was close to the bandits.
