Aerial refueling with the boys on <<DCSWRO 24/7>>

Please find below a track containing multiple radar/jester bugs I have encountered today with the F4. Please let me know if you can access it. https://we.tl/t-5lDeq1FBFt

For me Jester is "blind" again and refuses to lock targets. I was so happy when the previous update fixed it and now with the last update Jester is uselss again. So many occasions when targets were nose aspect , 12 o'clock, closer than 25nm no ground clutter and still no radar return. Jester even notifies me on visual and still he's not able to put the radar on it. It's ridiculous.

Hello, I have tried today some cargo sling with various helicopters and with all I had the same issue: tail snaps off and I crash. On F2 camera cargo acts erraticaly and then helicopter explodes. I had one instance where cargo crate fell through the ground and I could move it a little but again it was uncontrolable. Am I the only one experiencing this issue? Thank you.

Thank you for your constant support! You are doing a great job! I am glad I could help and I am looking forward to seeing the future updates.

Good for you! But the bug I am refering to has nothing to do with external tanks being refueled or not. External tanks work correctly. The issue is that after full refuel the tanker doesn't end the transfer and no Transfer complete message is shown.

Here is a simpler track in Single player. I have waited 12min connected to the boom (more than 5min full) and still no Transfer complete message. Also after disconnecting the system didn't lock itself (no need for system reset to reconnect). F4E Aerial Refuel.trk

I can confirm that I have rewatched the track and for me it works fine. The F4E on the blue side spawns in several seconds. New_Sun_Training_Mission_Beta_V.1.8-20240616-014325.trk I have waited being full of fuel connected to the boom almost as long as the time it takes for a complete refill and still didn't get the Transfer Complete confirmation.

Sure. Here it is. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. New_Sun_Training_Mission_Beta_V.1.8-20240616-014325.trk

I have redone the refueling test today as follows: hot start > equip 3 empty tanks > fly to the tanker > refuel until 3 green FULL lights and internal fuel gauge was still at ~12000 LBS > wait on the clock more than 5min connected to the boom > still no 'Transfer Complete' message. I can provide a track if needed.

Hello, Today I have done some close combat in the F18C and when I tried to lock a target in front of me with the A/A Bore Sight Mode (Sensor Control Switch Forward) radar didn't lock it in front but the last target I have disengaged that was behind of me. The AIM120C did a crazy 180° kill as you can see in the video below. To be more specific I have locked a target with Bore Sight Mode and fired an aim9X at it. Then I have re-pressed Sensor Control Switch Forward again multiple times to lock a second target after I have disengaged the first one and the radar locked the target behind me and when I have fired an aim120C the missile went backwards and connected with the first target. I have the trackfile if needed but the mission took multiple hours so here is a video of the Tacview with the exact moment:

I have rewatched the track and it got corrupted at least for me. Sometimes it shows that I lose the WSO canopy but that didn't really happen. At least it is clear that no matter how long I have been waiting connected to the boom I have never received the "transfer complete" message.

Hello, I have seen in multiple occasions that after locking a target with the auto-acquisiton function, the radar remains locked on a non-exsitent target even when the bandit outmaneuvered or it was shot down.

The TACAN Volume can't be bound to an axis. Please add it to the menu.

Hello, Today I've made a training mission for aerial refueling and I have tried multiple configurations with empty and full external tanks (3 tanks, 2 wing tanks and 1 centerline tank) and I have found several bugs: no matter how long I have been waiting connected to the boom I have never received the "transfer complete" message (even with all tanks full) but I only received it when pressing Air Refuel Release Button (even when the transfer was not fully done) with a cold start there were inconsistencies regarding the "Full" green lights, sometimes when tanks were full they didn't light up if disconnected from the boom when full, system doesn't lock as it should, the "Ready" light remains on one time Jester locked up in a loop repeating non-sensical indications on how to approach the boom even when I was departed from the tanker P.S This module is amaizing and I really want to see it succeed as it is clear how much effort and passion went into it.

Hello. First of all great update today but as I was testing the Gazelle today I found ou that the ADF Needle is not moving even if I had a clear Signal and the Morse code confirmation. I tried it in other helicopters and it worked ok. I love to see how you keep the module interesting and bring up new features and updates. Keep up the good work!

Hello, I have recently flown the F14A on a Cold War server and to my surprise one in two Sparrows (whatever the variant P and M etc.) doesn't follow the target. I shoot the missiles within 7 miles to the target in PAL lock and the tracking rate was in my opnion too low around 50%. Is this realistic or there is something I am missing or this is a bug/server issue? Thank you.

Thank you all for your messages. It doesn't stay locked whatever I do (CDES on or off, ATRK or PTRK, bump the tdc after designation etc.) It also moves with plane's little movements not only with agressive maneuvers.

Hello, After the last update I have an issue with the targeting pod. When I designate a point track on the ground, the pod doesn't stay fixed on the point but continues to move with the plane, moving around the target. I tried multiple types of track and designation but this issue still accours and I can't designate targets with precision. Do you encounter the same issue or it is somehow my fault? Thank you.

Ok. Thank you for your message. Apart from Radar antenna elevation axis there are still issues with assiging these controls for the pilot: Nav FLIR Gain and Nav FLIR Level can't be bound at all. They only work with mouse. Tail Flood Lights OFF/DIM/BRT cycle can't be bound at all. They also work only with mouse.

Hello Rob, Thank you for your message. Maybe I am wrong but following Razbam Manual it is pretty clear that the knob is rotary and not self centering. In the official F15E Manual is not clear either if it is rotary or self centering. It only mentions "Rotate" and "Elevation RATE Control"... Maybe a real F15E pilot could give us real feedback. I tend to believe that it behaves similiar to the F16 radar elevation because both official manuals mention "ROTATE" but I stand to be corrected.

Hello, I have stumbled upon multiple bugs when trying to assign these controls for the pilot: Radar antenna elevation axis doesn't work as it should: the radar goes fully up or fully down if the axis passes its middle point up or down. For ex If I set my axis to 75% the radar goes up and it doesn't stop until it's reaches its maximum limit. The Control should rotate freely, it shouldn't be necessary for it to spring back to center in order to stop the radar to move. The radar should move and stop following the axis. Nav FLIR Gain and Nav FLIR Level can't be bound at all. They only work with mouse. Tail Flood Lights OFF/DIM/BRT cycle can't be bound at all. They also work only with mouse. Thank you, MavOne

Thank you both for your replies. I didn't bind a 3 way switch just a 2 position switch as follows: up position to Parking Brake command and down position to Anti Skid not with the 3 way switch command. My issue is that when I try to select anti skid, the switch doesn't go down from Parking Brake with the anti skid command. It only works with "down" command. Later edit: I have also tried to bind 3 keyboard buttons (one to each Parking Brake, anti skid and off) and it exibited the same behaviour: if I press for example "A" for Parking Brake and then "S" for Anti Skid the switch doesn't move.

Hello, I tried to bind 'ANTI-SKID Switch - ANTI-SKID' to a button on my HOTAS/Keyboard but it doesn't work when the switch initial position in F16 is in Parking Brake. It works if I go from Off position to Anti-Skid but it doesn't go down if I want to go from Parking Brake Position to Anti-Skid. It works only by clicking the switch with the mouse. Is this a normal behaviour, I am doing something wrong or this is a bug? Thank you, MavOne96
