  1. could only find this during a quick search about the attack: http://www.ausairpower.net/Eldorado-Canyon.html the radars listed there are: "Flat Face, Low Blow, Straight Flush, Fan Song and possibly Land Roll acquisition radars associated with the Soviet supplied SA-3 Goa, SA-6 Gainful, SA-2 Guideline and SA-8 Gecko surface to air missile systems situated in Tripoli and Benghazi." most of those are in DCS and can still be targeted by HARMS.
  2. After boresighting the first station, pressing MSL step will change to the other station, then the not yet boresighted mav will be slightly off of the position the tgp is looking, should be pretty quick making the adjustment, get a lock and then hit BSGT again. No need to touch the tgp a second time to align the second station
  3. did a short test using a variation of radars/sams (Thin shield, Hawk SR, SA6 and SA11) all of them late activated, via trigger 90s after mission start. all of them showed up on RWR and HTS. to note; all SAM sites had ROE on Auto, which means some were "offline" until i got within reasonable range to them, then started turning on and pretty much immediately showed up on HTS. What Radars did you use? EWRs will no longer show up on HTS since last patch Late_activated_Radar.trk
  4. been an issue and has been reported before, happens when either shooting one missile so the next one is not able to be stabilized anymore or when using TMS aft after a break lock scenario... curious why this post get the "cannot reproduce and missing track file"....
  5. As for this topic, some data has been collected in the bug report here:
  6. ....and the maverick still does not follow the moving SPI of the TGP
  7. never as this does not represent the state of the f-16 block 50 as it was in 2007, which is the year after which ED are modelling the viper in DCS
  8. okay, even weirder. i just remember that all of them were jamming at this point so there might have been a chance it would affect it. i did notice the amraam also missing other aircraft when shot from rear aspect at close range (within 5nm), barely pulling Gs, yet it seemed less frequent than against tomcats.
  9. There might be some weird stuff going on with the Tomcat when its jamming, of course this is just a suspicion Over the last months i had multiple tailchases (within 5nm), shot an amraam and it just never tracked at all. This while shooting in STT. Missile just flew past the target, barely maneuvering at all. In all of these cases it was a tomcat with its jammer turned on.
  10. Might also have lots to do with the lookup/lookdown penalty which is under investigation already
  11. you are absolutely right, markpoint is way off. funny enough, i could only seem to create this with the TGP created markpoints. did it with the A-G radar and that one stayed as it should. here my track showing the issue as described by the OP Markpoint-after-INS-update_1.trk
  12. To fix the markpoint after slewing it (refining its position as you described) you need TMS forward to actually lock the coordinates in. Only then can you press 0 (MSEL) to make it the active steerpoint. then exit MARK page, select the tgp as SOI, press TMS aft (CZ) and it should slew the pod to your Markpoint location
  13. Yes exactly. Apparently thats how it should be based on the EWR modelled in the sim. Just sad there was no info about that change
  14. How sure are you? I tested it by placing every EWR in the ME, making sure they are active and none would show up at all. to my knowledge, a SA2 or SA3 search radar also shows up as „S“ until it is starting to track you. you might be seing those there.
  15. As per the last patch, EWR can no longer be found / targeted with a harm. And also not with the HTS. Sad it was not listed in the patchnotes..
  16. NineLine, BigNewy. If you have some documents you are not sure you can share on here, better to DM them
  17. so we just assume the nebo version we got in dcs is just vhf due to the changes made and not listed in the last patch. could have saved us all this discussion would answer the question above that the HARM training mission is in fact obsolete as it can not be completed
  18. interesting. brings me back to the point where it would be nice to at least get some information about such changes. i could not find any notes as to which EWR version is modelled (as in what type of frequency band they are using), which leaves a lot to speculation and guesswork. would be nice to have that cleared up.
  19. ah, thank you for the clarification. will the HARM table get reworked? as in; why would one list emitters (101 and 102 for example) that you can not see with the missile or the HTS nor target in any way with it?
  20. now this is interesting, in the post here: the mission asks you to target a EWR. the post has been locked and under investigation by @BIGNEWY. however Flappie says no longer being able to target EWR is "correct as is". please excuse my confusion now
  21. they must all be set to VHF then, since none can be found currently
  22. Interesting. Might have been missing on the patch notes. Although it might now be more realistic, its sad to see such changes not to be noted anywhere as it does have an impact on how people operate and may cause not needed drama/„false“ bug reports and thus more work for ed to explain than a simple one liner in the patchnotes. also i did not go back and read the patchnotes again, if it is on there, just ignore this comment
  23. Here my test on the issue, using CBU97 first and then MK82, all in CCIP. see how the cluster bombs all land way short of the CCIP pipper location on release, the mk82 perfectly on target. i doubt it is the planes fault (as in bombing mode bugged) CBU97 falling short.trk
  24. I think it is back to 1500 again as the default BA (at least for the 97) not used the 87 since the patch
