I've had it happen in C-101. Pretty sure it's either a DCS bug or undocumented feature released too soon.

Hi Today we were flying a mission in multiplayer and I kinda tempted the pilot to try out the tone button. After pressing the button (and releasing) the button, the tone did not stop. Instead it was constantly being emitted intermittently and rendered all of our radios inoperable - we were unable to talk to the tankers, ATC, carrier. Also, the tone continued to be played with UHF-1 (and even both radios) off. Moreover, turning all electrical power off still didn't stop the tone from being emitted. The only way of getting rid of the sound was muting the in-helmet audio (very suboptimal workaround). My pilot was recording the bug, I'll ask him to post the video here. The other pilots were hearing a constant tone over in-game audio that we were unable to stop. You can hear the example here:

Are you sure it isn't the wind causing the drift? The primary factor of flying sideways is the crosswind component, so my best guess is you are simply pushed by it. Wysłane z mojego ANE-LX1 przy użyciu Tapatalka

I believe it's not a bug but a part of new engine logic that prevents the pilot from stalling the engine while supersonic. You need to put some load on the wings to loose the speed and the engines will respond to throttles as usual. Wysłane z mojego ANE-LX1 przy użyciu Tapatalka

Cheers, that makes sense. Version 1.2 is up. Changelog: Prettier "tristate" plots (Afterburner aka "Fors", SAU, Trigger; no longer clipped by y-axis range) Checking file size and yelling at you for loading an empty one Progress bar now shows actual progress in creating selected plots, not making stuff up as it goes :P

Cheers. Version 1.1 is up with some new plots available (change in IAS, also called acceleration, and change in altitude, also called vertical velocity). I guess it is time to make the plots prettier (and fine-tune the axis setting, some of the plots get clipped and look uggly (yes, I'm looking at you, Fors plot)).

Quick update. The basic safeguards are in (defaults to loading txt files and yells at you if it doesn't pass the validation). Also, there is now a progress bar, so the app looks like doing things while doing things instead of derping out for a few seconds (sadly, the cancel button doesn't work yet). Finally, I have added an installer (link in the repo's README file) so it it easier to get the program. Also, a quick question to LN Sims: What do Fors, Hydm and Hydb stand for?

Quick update on the development. The program now has a GUI. Proof: Windows binaries are located in the dist folder. To get the program, download the repository (via git or use the option to download it as a zip file from github). You can safely delete everything except the contents of the dist folder. Basic usage: Select which plots you wish to generate and click "Generate" (or just click "Generate all" to generate all plots for a file (duh)), a file opening dialog will show, select your file and click ok. The plots will be saved in the folder of your SARPP file. Disclaimer: Currently there are no safeguards regarding file reading - it can read any file and I am pretty sure it will work correctly only on DCS MiG-21bis generated SARPP data.

I began working on a (rather simple) utility made in Python3 to interpret the SARPP data into graphs (and maybe more). Right now it has no GUI and just automatically generates plots of the data (nothing fancy, but does the trick). Feel free to contribute either by hacking it on your own and submitting it to the repository or just providing feedback and ideas for improvement. Anyway, here's the link: https://github.com/laxentis/pySARPP Sample plots:

Knots per hour makes no sense. 1 Knot is 1 Nautical mile per hour, so "knots per hour" would mean "Nautical miles per hour per hour". It is kilometres per hour. ~300 kph is ~162 kts

DCS MiG21, Please.
