Shouldn´t there be a mode for combined usage of multiple pods in a formation, carried by 2 or more aircraft ?
Afaik DCS doesn´t simulate that (yet) but the pod may be able to handle more than itself.

I used to do that, too! They magically fixed this bug with the March(?) update.

worth testing i guess. Haven´t entered the office yet since the patch dropped. Any information in the changelog ?

Haven´t seen this in a while, not doing IFA that often
Only thing i noticed is that i have to turn on DL and MIDS after alignment is complete, even so the manual says otherwise - doing so before often ends up in my own Datalink not functioning.
Maybe a bug ?
Also when having trouble with GPS, switching it off and on again usually works..

Just remember, you can overwrite ypur stpt 26 if you use markpoints very frequently
Exactly, that´s why i was wondering.
On a mission, you most likely will overwrite your markpoints, so punching in home coords during startup seems the only thing that is both realistic enough and functional - if you don´t get your steerpoints from DTC. At the same time, i´m quite surprised that the Viper won´t provide a home/initial point, such a streamlined user experience overall but this one feature is just not there

I use TheWay app, into which I upload steerpoints from the F10 map. Its not cheating, since you have a map also IRL.
From the app the you just click Transfer to DCS and steerpoints get populated (I usually set to steerpoint No. 699, so it then starts with 1).
If you decide to use this app, I would recommend you to use V2.3.1 (no higher), since there are some bugs which needs to be resolved.
Quite a nice idea, although the "proper" way would be punching in those points yourself on the DED.
Anyways, i wonder if there´s an answer to my actual question out there

You mean how to get back to the airbase you took off?
Set the Tacan channel to your homeplate and navigate to it by using Tacan
Set the frequency to the homeplates tower and call it for navigation assistance towards it
Thanks but no, that wasn't quite what i meant
I know about navigation alternatives, no problem in actually finding a way home. Not all fields do have tcn also asking tower for direction is not how it is supposed to be
I'm interested in whether there is a convenient way to route back home as described in my first post or if the Viper doesn't offer that kind of assistance.

Been a while since i last moved the Viper. I was wondering: Does it provide any reference steerpoint to my initial position, like the WP0 on the Hornet or B on the F15E ?
Atm i just throw a MP on the runway or use the regular tools like tcn to find my way back home, i guess there might be a more convenient way to this ?

Well, even if you take the vertical stabs placement in account - where there is a "need" on the F16 to eject significantly higher - that still seems quite low indeed.

Seit Kurzem ? Das sehe ich seit Jahren

Nach keinen, soweit ich weiss. Du kannst alle Länder als Neutral haben, und CJTFB/R der entsprechenden Farbe zuteilen, beide werden trotzdem alle Einheiten und Bemalungen zur Verfügung haben.
Da haben wir erst Anfang März und schon was dazugelernt
Danke.

Nach welchen Kriterien sind dann Blau und Rot getrennt ?

Alternativ übrigens auch mit den beiden Fraktionen „Combined Joint Task Force Red bzw. Blue.“ Dies sind zwei von direkten Ländern unabhängige Fraktionen, ähnlich NATO oder Warschauer Pakt. Der Vorteil, eine solche Fraktion als eigene oder gegnerische Partei zu wählen, ist, daß man einfach ALLE Objekte dort hinzufügen kann. Also z. B. einen Gepard-Panzer als „roten“ Gegner.
Die Fraktion "Combined Joint Task Force Red" bzw. "blue" beinhaltet alle Fraktionen die du den jeweiligen Seiten zugeordnet hast. Es handelt sich hier quasi um eine Zusammenfassung aller roten bzw. blauen Fraktionen. Wählst du diese aus, so kannst du alle Einheiten und Liveries wählen, die die einzelnen Länder zur Verfügung haben.
So hat z.B. eine F18C unter "USA" nur die US Lackierungen, unter "JTF Blue" alle Lackierungen der Länder "Blau" verfügbar.

And for further clarification: You did close the AAR door ? The light should turn off once it´s fully closed.

Since latest Update, i noticed on the HSI, the TACAN Symbol on a moving Emitter (Tanker) doesn´t move with the signal any more.
The indications for range, bearing, etc. are correct, the arrow also pointing in the right direction. The 3-sided Symbol tho is shown where the Tacan first got activated, then stays there even when the unit/emitter is moving.

Hi
JSOWs and SLAMER (not the old SLAM) are refusing to accept terminal profiles, I have reported it a couple of times.
Ah so i can stop scratching my head. Thanks
-
Using my JSOWs in WPN Mode with their respective targets set via UFC coordinates. Targets get hit spot on, what i see is that the TERM settings get ignored.
Example: JSOW prepared for 1st TGT, coords set, TERM set at HDG 040T. Releasing weapon at 35.000ft, Mach 1.4, around 30NM from TGT, within the IN ZONE parameters, at planes HDG 360. Now the big boy is gliding to target at 360 but not making any turns for the 040 approach i was expecting.
I´m currently not seeing what i might have missed. Any ideas ?
-
So after latest update - still a thing obviously.
You take any mission with the F15E in it, load it up in the mission editor and change some parameters (no matter what, i added some static objects for example).
Save the mission.
Every time, one of the already present F15E has the internal fuel reset to 50%.

allright, who´s gonna tell him ?

Do you still have a Target designated on the ground ?
iirc, with an active designation you can´t switch modes. Try Boat switch aft to delete your target and try again.

According to your screenshot, your radios are both in Preset Mode and both set to channel 1.
Whatever freq. your Channel 1 might be.
Pushing the 255.000 on your scratchpad and pressing ENTER will not change the freq. as long as you keep your radios on Preset Mode.
Try and switch your Comm to manual freq Mode to use the freq. you see displayed above your scratchpad. You will notice the Chevron in front of the freq. will also hop up to that line.
To do so, press the GREC C/M Button on the upper right.
Also: Do you contact the correct tanker (has to be a Boom, not a MPRS) ? Do you use the correct PTT Button for the corresponding Comm (as mentioned by Razor) ?
Lastly: Am i seeing this correctly that you have the volume turned down on both comms ?

I know this is some older topic and we already got that phenomenal effects now
Is there anything being mentioned about if this also will apply to water ? Maybe with future updates ?

Das E Bracket gibts in der F-15 nicht.
Anstatt auf ein Symbol nebem FPM musst du leider auf eine Zahl unter der Geschwindigkeitsanzeige schauen.
So isses
AOA Index haste ständig verfügbar. +1 rechnet sich - wenn mein Gedächtnis nicht täuscht - in je 0,5 Grad.
Man möchte meinen, auf dem riesen Kuchenblech von HUD wäre bei der F15E doch noch Platz für die Bracket gewesen. Aber die ist dann eben doch nicht ganz so entscheidend als vergleichsweise bei der F18

Bisher einziges "Manko" - wenn man denn was finden möchte: Die im Editor verfügbare Kartenansichten, gleich welche Sat.Daten man verwendet, ist mancherorts nicht exakt über der DCS Karte. Setzt man so z.B. eine Einheit auf den Runway bei Airfield A, sitzt diese mitunter deutlich daneben. Präzise Platzierungen sollte man also eher vorsichtig angehen

Any News here ? Happens again and again (MP only on my side), quite a gamekiller for many players spawning on Deck...

Then the manual is kind of misleading
