Hello @Focha The F/A-18C Lot 20 pilot relief autopilot HDG mode will only follow magnetic heading, regardless of the pilot TRUE of MAG selection for HSI/HUD. This is a real limitation of the aircraft, our simulation just reproduces it. Thanks for your time.

Hello @muniman69 We are aware of this particular issue. We reported this some time ago. Thanks, nevertheless.

Hello @Silver_ What you describe does sound like a nuisance, but we require documented evidence that the switch indeed "memorizes" the previous setting when selecting Guard and back. If you have non-classified publicly available documented evidence this is an error, please send it via PM to @BIGNEWY and well certainly commit to any necessary change.

@Silver_ The CATI/CATIII is automatically set according to the what armament is selected on the DCS: F-16C. I am assuming you intend to have your physical HOTAS switch position to sync with the aircraft's, but currently this switch will be set according to the aircraft's loadout on start up (Hot or Cold start).

The manual was reviewed to reflect the logics as close as we can to the real aircraft systems.

Hello @Lixma 06 Given the recent update to it, our DCS: F-16C manual is actually the best source to learn how to use the aircraft systems. This manual was reviewed to depict the most recent adjustments and additions. Unfortunately, some of the older videos may include some imprecisions or even incomplete procedures. Please take some time to read page 434 of this manual to confirm that indeed it's the TMS Forward press (short) that brings the ACM Bore option using the HMCS. Thanks for understanding.

Hum... @Hightower91 Indeed it looks inverted with that trimmer option. I've raised this internally for analysis. Thanks.

We've reported this for a future improvement. Thanks for bringing this to us.

@Hightower91 Can you post your bindings for the AFCS trim? These are mine, just in case: Mine are working as intended. Push the AFCS Trim up and the nose goes down, push the AFCS Trim down and the nose goes up. Have you tested the buttons in windows as well? Could you have an inverted Hat switch?

I've reported the item about the engine continuing to run with cut-off levers to off. As for the other item, I've addressed above.

Hi @OhNoMyHookBroke I'll send this for our internal analysis. Just bear in mind we have more important tasks at the moment.

@shadowborn Please keep one topic per thread. 20K is the service ceiling for the DCS: CH-47F. The flight model is still undergoing some refinement, please operate it within reasonable limits at the moment. I'll look into your other track regarding engines operation while in cut-off.

Hello @shadowborn Can you please supply a track replay of this event? Thanks for you cooperation.

It wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Hi @Ignition Multicrew FCR synchronization is still work in progress. Thanks for your report, nevertheless.

Hey @jethead This is a known issue. We'll be looking into this in a future update. Thanks for your time.

Hello @Renko This isn't a bug, it's just the way we designed this system to be integrated with the ground crew menu. It reality, the cargo loading/unloading is independent from the Rearm/Refuel panel and will remain open. In the future, this could change but for now it's working as intended.

Thanks for the suggestion, @Renko I'll pass it to the team.

I meant this was not what you demonstrated in your first track. Again, please follow procedures regarding aligning INS correctly. We can't be focused on incorrect procedures as you did in your track, hence my replies. We're just evaluating what to do when INS is off. Thanks for your patience.

Hello @JTFF - Raph Thank you for this list, appreciate your effort. This is a known issue but only with POS mode, we have it listed for futures updates. On the last one, it's the other way around, TMS Left cycles the three threat tables. TMS Right missing and other HOTAS commands were reported. We're investigating this, indeed it's not allowing the cycle without a handoff. We need to verify these points based on proper documented evidence for the F-16C Block 50 CCIP we're trying to simulate. Can you please send @BIGNEWY via private message any references about these individual issues listed above? These items have been previously requested for future improvements and we're working on them along with several other pre-selected or preset items.

@SexyTomato This is a different item you're presenting now. Above you were inducing several errors on the alignment, expecting the system to proceed as if you didn't. Now you're presenting an apparent issue with navigation continuing to update data if INS (even GPS, I tested) is deliberately turned off. We designed this system to be operated according to procedures. And those procedures tells us that if you lose INS data or it becomes degraded mid flight, with or especially without GPS, you would need to perform an IFA. You're not supposed to fly with no data unless you get a complete system loss. Currently in DCS, if the pilot (for whatever reason) wishes to completely turn off INS (and GPS) he does get some level of data loss, you'll lose weapon guidance (CCRP, PRE) and the FPV, for example. I will present this situation internally to see if we can degrade the data any further.

Good information there, @isoko Thanks for sharing.

Hello @Renko Good catch, I'm reporting this internally. Thanks.

Hello @BJ55 Like the manual states in the excerpt you posted above, the BRG sets the direction of the missile "relative to ownship", not the missile's own heading. I replayed your track and using your own settings, the missiles are deployed correctly in those bearings. What am I missing?

Hi @Nuggetz Thank you for your time explaining what you're experiencing. However, just a description isn't sufficient to analyse what you are doing. We require a track replay to view your actions but, more important, what the simulation is doing. Now, regarding your comment above, like @BIGNEWYsaid, many servers run on mods and scripts that unfortunately break the replay system. If the issues you are mentioning are really that consistent, then you can easily reproduce in a simple SP mission. We've tested datalink display with the AWACS and other donors along with the FCR and, aside from the normal jamming, notching and other evading manoeuvres, the targets were correctly displayed as expected.
