Because it's DCS, not real life. It "always" worked like that.
-
Wags' videos on youtube are always first place to check these things. ED sucks in updating manuals and Wags presents newly implemented features and usually mentions most of the functionalities. But also take them carefully, because somtimes are out of date - like HMD aligment, because some buttons presses changed.

SA works with AI planes, not with other players.

I don't know about A-10C, but in Hornet for now tanker TACAN works ok WITHOUT A/A mode active.

reported earlier Tanker TACAN not showing range (DCS OB 2.7.9)
Foka replied to Lazerhawk's topic in Bugs and Problems
Funny thing, I just played a bit with tankers i ME and with A/A mode of TACAN on Hornet I couldn't find any tanker (no fix - bearing, nor DME), but without A/A it workd, including DME. -
Launch Bar Retract and Extend Mapings
Foka replied to Major_Mayhem's topic in Controller Questions and Bugs
I supposed it won't get fixed (the launch bar binding), since they didn't fix binding issues for A-10C for years. -
It's not a TGP update, but whole FLIR system overhaul, and not, it's not out yet, not even announced the date.

Elevator/Stabilator Stuck in Up Position
Foka replied to Herk's topic in Controller Questions and Bugs
T/O Trim will set elevator to +12, not 0. -
At Angels 35, making Mach 1, SA-10 will launch thru ECM from 34-32 nm. At this flight parameters GBU-38 has range ~19 nm, so you won't be able to use it. Best option for SA-10/SA-5 is: - Many planes with many HARMs - Before launch try to bleed battery's missiles by triggering them to launch, and then trash them
-
No. You have to launch missiles in separation of 20-30 seconds (or more), than HARM have time to change target, but best way is take out tracking radar first, then you can hit search radars even with gun

Why this topic is marked as "correct as is" if ED is not sure of that, what was stated in previous thread, and there are multiple evidence, that it isn't correct?
-
Thanks for the info, didn't know about D-ILS, but... As I did some digging, first units&training where delivered in 2019. In 2021 it's still cosidered a new system and is introduced to new parts of US military. As we know DCS's newest modules are based on planes from years 2000-2010. So still D-ILS wouldn't be correct for DCS. PS And still this is D-ILS, not D-ICLS, and US Hornets doesn't have ILS. PS2 IMHO ED should implement canadian Hornets (we have liveries) with option to choose in mission editor to use ILS or ICLS. It shouldn't be to much effort.
-
There is no such thing as "portable ILS". Airbases where Navy Hornets land/operate they have ICLS installed on land. But installation ILS/ICLS is a long complicated process with dozens of tests and tuning. You can't just drive a truck on the base and set it up.

Thrustmaster Warthog + FA18C with FA18C Grip
Foka replied to tityus's topic in Controller Questions and Bugs
I can recommend green spring mod from Sahaj - it makes Warthog much "wrist friendly" - https://warthog-extensions-by-sahaj.com/ A-10C is not fly-by-wire and it doesn't self trim. Up-down trimm is much depended on your speed. Faster you fly, plane will have nose up tendency. Slower you fly - nose down. You need to use your trimm all the time. -
No. Simple most of the DCS players don't play with a controller. If they do, they use LotATC. On the other habe in th emission configuration you can simply turn on fog of war.

missing info Lost lock with Sparrows using STT
Foka replied to Eagle7907's topic in Bugs and Problems
It's not a ghost, it's not a bug. It's enemy jammer. Notice that when you have range 99.9 nm on the HUD, on the attack radar screen you will see track on the top of the scrteen (outside of the scan area) with letter J by the side of it. -
There is LotATC, that most of "harder" core squadrons use and it works great. I don't think ED will make something like these in predictable future. If you want to play with "real" AWAC/GCI buy server licence for LotATC, then clients (players) can log into AWACS slot without payed licence.

That doesn't mean we should stay quiet and just let them do it.

First of all it is important for any more advanced online missions, it will allow to use two channels with 2** MHz frequencies (this same benefit as it would be added to Viper). Secondly - it was one of the main features advertised while selling us the A-10C II module/upgrade. If you'd buy a car and wouldn't get some less important feature would you ignore it, or would you go to a dealer demanding delivering as advertised?

And very important thing to remember - RWR doesn't show "someone is locking you"! It shows, that it receives tracking signal from radar, but it doesn't necessery mean it tracks you. It can be plane far behind you or far in front of you. I had situation when RWR showed lock from fight that took place over 120 nm from me, I just was in a stright line from emiting radar locking some one over there.

As Puma said - they always been separate hooks.
