  1. I'm reading a book currently where the pilot/author describes using the laser on the TGP and, between engagements, having to toggle master arm on and off between attack runs. Having to reenter laser code every time isn't mentioned. Having worked with actual TGP pods IRL on the A10, I doubt that the logic of the av8b pod is dissimilar to the ones I worked on. It would be unrealistic to have to enter laser pentameters every time you arm up. Note that none of the aircraft modeled have that hindrance. I've mentioned in my previous posts: If DCS's affinity for tgp pods losing gimble 'roaming' were model IRL they'd be put on the maintenance line. Not realistic, unless you're rolling out of control the ins/GPS will correct for hard maneuvering. If you're at a point where you're losing ginble lock your also losing ins/GPS lock of your aircraft's position.
  2. Unable to display TGP and the ground radar without a crash still. I use a stream deck, I've read theres an issue with that. I shouldn't have to uninstall the stream deck software before flying the f-16. dcs.log
  3. Roger, thank you I'll try the file edit.
  4. Can we get the min volume lowered on the RWR switch? At min it's still so loud it's all I can hear when I'm getting spiked.
  5. You can check the real manual with your weight, temp and baro to see if that’s accurate and see if that’s realistic. Off the cuff I’d said that even at high temperatures you shouldn’t need water to VL at that weight. I can’t link the real chart here but if you DM me I can give you a link if you can’t find it.
  6. As I said in the above comment, the hover settings to power required at a specific weight is accurate. However, then transitioning from forward flight somethings off. Coming in with an empty jet and 2k fuel and you’ll need water and a high rpm% to maintain a hover. In the included campaign you can’t land back at the boat empty with 3k fuel. You will just keep your sink rate right into the water at full throttle with water injection. I think that the transition from forward flight needs to be looked at. I’ve flown the av8b since release and even being overtly gradual with the transition phase doesn’t make a difference in the way that you need an exorbitant amount of thrust all the way to the ground.
  7. I can also confirm this. When using the TDC axis it's not a problem, using the key binds it keeps slewing when released
  8. Going off the real AV-8B manuals hover check charts "Figure 10-4. Engine RPM Required to Hover, F402--RR--408 Engine" the thrust seems accurate as far as the hover thrust to weight requirements. Still investigating the airspeed at altitude changes.
  9. Roger, I'm glad you guys were able to implement my suggestion (rolling at idle) from the AV8B manual. thanks
  10. I'm getting a response from the ground crew, they're just "unable to comply."
  11. May be MP only as I haven't tried it in SP. only get "unable to comply" unless engine is shut down.
  12. I agree, flew about an hour and a half on MP. Maintained lock with all the engagements with both STT as well as TWS. Fired 8 54's and no hits, none even attempted. As you said they will guide to the target then within visual range (missile to target) they just go dumb and fly straight. These engagements were between 40-25 miles while at between 25k-35k. Tried both the A and C versions. Only a few of the targets were evading, most of the time the missiles just sail over the targets by a 1000-2000 feet without even turning hot.
  13. Would be handy to be able to make a markpoint in the F-10 map and have it shown in the cockpit for reference. If you wanna be fancy you could have it written in grease pencil on the canopy like they do IRL. I know you can use the TAD but would be easier (and more realistic) to have a editatible kneeboard map that you could write on. I'm using the scratchpad mod which works ok, but you have to enter things twice and it's only good for coords.
  14. Were you by chance using the HTS mode on the TPOD? There is a game crashing bug that's under resolved bugs currently not fixed, that sends you straight to desktop when you're using HTS mode.
  15. Bump. Is this just not going to be worked on, or acknowledged?
  16. Dropping GBU-38/54 whilst using HTS is still causing CTD after todays patch. LOG Since I can't respond to your post in this section, People trying to use HTS are gonna submit bug reports when it causes CTD. Having this 'unresolved' bug in the bug section would save you from duplicate posts. This is a slippery slope posting active bugs in the resolved section, thats what the MO of the last Community manager was with UNRESOLVED bugs and it didn't go well.
  17. A1-AV8BB--NFM--000 Page 271 (not a direct quote from manual) Idle thrust should be more than sufficient for taxi, moreso it's recommended to modulate taxi speed using nozzle angle (with throttle at idle). As of now you have to give it around half throttle to get moving then supplemental non-idle thrust to overcome rolling friction. Track shouldn't be needed as this isn't a intermittent bug, has been the case since launch.
  18. Just a heads up, you'll have to reapply the quick fix posted in the 'Attention' thread because the todays update broke it again. CTD when trying to pickle a GBU-54 just now. No track available nor needed. Log file.
  19. Haven't seen it reported yet but the range for release of the GPS guided bombs is off. When dropping any GPS guided bombs the release range is within 2/3 miles regardless of your altitude or speed. I got up to 30k for an extreme test and it was the same as if you were at 5k. The test at 30k I was making almost 300 knots (CAS) as indicated by the F10 view stats. I believe in Mat's video he was able to drop from around 5 miles at 6/8k. Furthermore I tried diving down and making almost 400 knots to see if increased speed would make a difference, it didn't. Should be easily reproducible, if not I'll include a track tomorrow.
  20. I believe they said the FM changes didn't make it in. Placebo effect maybe.
  21. So not sure if you want us posting our findings here or not.... No more CTD with the fixed file but something is weird with the ranging and coordinates in the tgp. It's like the laser is working sometimes. I did manage to hit the target after a few tried running the mission and messing with the ranging laser and wp inc. The TGP is no longer showing the coordinates, most of the time. Track
