dedlike.

i think this is less of a bug with the FCR and more how DCS handles line of sight, to an extend, enven enenmy AI sees you like you see them with the FCR as far as im aware, wich is what makes it so hard to actualy sneak up on enemys

it picks up ALL rocket motors that it can see, no regard if its coming towards you or away from you,aimed at you or not ( in dcs ) its somewhat unreliable on servers with alot of missiles flying around since 80% of the time none of those missiles are going for you, wich makes it realy hard to figure out when you can actualy rely on it for your own defence

My assumption ( and hope ) is that it will be selectable in the rearm screen, like the fuel tank is right now

my hope is that "Very soon" means maybe still this year ( considering how far along it has come considering the snipeds we have seen of it in the vid ), we will know more once we get the good ol "hey everyone wags here from.. " about the FCR

i would love supression beeing implemented, nothing worse than shooing a position with rockets, APCs, and Inf compleatly engulfed in Dust and smoke, and out of this thick, dense cloud come multiple tracers, flying directly towards you

Dont get me wrong, i rearly get shot down, but the reason i dont get shot down is that i simply treat getting to close to the enemy as a death sentance, its just kinda comeedic that im as afraid of a hidden btr80 as i am of a fully fledged radar-guided AAA... my point beeing, the game is not unpöayabke, but i feel the accuracy, and ESPECALY the situational awareness of tanks and apc is just ... imersionbreaking, if i die because i hover 3 km infront of a tank, then thats on me, if i die flying 90kn sideways to a btr80 at 4km, then it starts to get silly( and while staying further away is easy in a apache, it realy feels like it goes against the doctrine of the mi-24..) Tldr: it constantly feels like you have to tiptoe around the AI and its quite imersionbreaking depending on the situation

there is no reason to convince you otherwhise, going within engagementrange of the AI is just asking to die, the Apache is still one of the best helis in DCS tho for exactly this reason, unlike the Hind for example, wich IRL realy sets alot more emphathis on Rockets than missiles , the apache can just comfortably stay outside engagement range of 90% of the units and just fire off hellfires, its just a core DCS problem, wich tbh i dont see them fix anytime soon, i realy once thought that when they made the hind the just HAD to work on the AI aswell but here we are a few years later ....

would love to know aswell if it works

i seem to find that if you mount the limas on the heli before its spooled up they rearly hit, if you rearm after the heli is up and running i get them to work 100%

i agree, ingame it seems the same as before(maybe even faster) as you say, im just refering to the initial startup of dcs

Hello!, im not sure if already reported or if im in the right section here but has anyone else noticed DCS taking about twice as long to start up with the new update? my friend is experiencing the same issue

im still dissapointed that the SD10 cant shoot at datalink contacts like it should, i personaly dont thing going to the 120 API would do much good, on one had i wish they could improve on their own API /SD10 code to suport all features the missile actualy has, on the other hand, considering how it hasnt happend over the years yet, i dont think it will happen ... all in all im just sceptical when it comes to using EDs APIs since they keep changing stuff often, and alot of times not for the better

did i miss something durring todays patch ? the heli feels realy wobbly now its kinda hard to explain, especaly int he pitch axis, its realy bad, but in a different way as to how it used to be

same

not beeing able to update the game also part of that ?

so, while i realy dont feel a track was needed for this here ya go while i could baby george around a bit more i feel like he should be able to atleast hit somewhat consitant without me treating him like a idiot, again, and i feel like i have mentioned it enought, his main issue is lasing way to soon and also the inability to use any form of stabilisation i did try to make the track as short as possible but still had to fire all hellfires, so you guys can get as much data as possible out of it (granted, the first 3 shots were a bit nilly willy but the later ones realy show how he has a good direct LOS on something in the open and still messes up) edit: infact i added another track of me beeing in CPG ,george flying about the same speed and conditions, to sumarize, george gets 1/8 hits(and only since the EWR is that large) and i easly hit 8/8, wich in my eyes rules out the possibility of it beeing the missile itself server-20230519-115148.trk Me in CPG.trk

couldnt agree more, my observation with the RF hellfire simply is, dont use george since he will mess things up, if you use them yourself ( fly around, let george spot then hop to the front and fire) they basicly have a 100% hit rate

you gotta set the LST switch from auto to off

i just finished palying nearly 4 hours on rotorheads, i can confirm george is realy bad with the RF hellfires, my guess is he starts lasing before he has the TADS propperly over the enemy, i can confrim tho that taking over the CPG i can still hit targets flawlessly even going 120kn with george flying i always had issues with gorge just not beeing that good, even with the laser hellfires, i just wish he could use IAT, my solution to fix his current behavior would be make him slew over target -> IAT -> Lase -> Fire so TLDR, the missiles are fine, george is not

agree, the latest update did wonders , maybe it takes a bit of getting used to again,but overall its far better than it used to be, this update was huge for the apache

i had that impression aswell initialy HOWEVER it seems to be more of a geroge thing, if i fire the limas myself into a realy dense group of enemys, it goes exactly after what i lased, i think the problem with geroge is that he lases before the TADS is even over the intended target making him miss even with the RF hellfires, or the RF hellfires finding the next best thing to where he actualy started the lase (keep in mind, depedning on the slant angle shooting the laser over the target can resoult in the laser spoting more than 100m behind the target, and geroge just LOVES lasing everything exept the target)

i already made another post bout it but for simplicity im gona post the track here aswell, its as short as i could make it server-20230518-143756.trk

As the title says, george starts in LST more for some reason making you have to turn it off manualy server-20230518-143756.trk

will do, but just to confirm, i never use autostart, i like to start the thing myself yet he still does it, i will submit another report with a track

to add to this, doing a cold start in the caucasus cold start insta mission george goes into the 4 bar sarch mode when ordering him to do something while writing this i also had a look in a costum made mission, any coldstart will result in him beeing in the LST mode
