Yeah that response totally missed the point. Who needs all this hipster crap - TNDL, TWS, multi-target missile BVR. Go visual guns only, Boyd will approve No need to split the hair though - current DCS F-16 implementation of TWS+TNDL symbology does not meet its own DCS F-16 documentation. Bignewy already said "this is intended to be addressed along with the corresponding DTC feature." so lets wait for few more years (this thread is few weeks short of 2yo).

Looks like South Atlantic map is busted after update 2.9.20.15010 - many bugs noticed just in single view, most obviously the shore elevation seen under water. Normally I enjoy SA map a lot and use it for joyrides, but this update is not looking good at all. -camera -11.177412 10.168995 -966.032979 -cameradir 0.174002 -0.125379 -0.976731

Yep IRIS-T SLM C2 takes ~100 20mm for a kill (launcher and radar are ok). I might continue gradually testing various A2G weapons against all new assets, will let you know if anything. Using this opportunity - thanks again for your work and enriching the DCS world! Had a nice visual experience at dawn flying past Iskander takeoff and the contrail lighted by rising sun, it was cool!

Great, thank you a lot for quick response and fixing this!

9K720 Iskander (both loaded and empty after missiles launch) damage model has an issue. 100+ direct hits of PGU-28 SAPHEI ammo do not even scratch it. Track attached. Comparable assets like Scud/Smerch/Uragan are killed with 10-30 hits. 9K720-iskander-damage-model-issue.trk

@bandit648 absolutely outstanding work and thank you again! Just spent few hours at twilight time doing nothing but looking around with life-like beautiful views.

@Muchocracker L&S designation is fine, do you have info if current implementation (which is stated as WIP) already allows to launch, guide and hit MSI-only track by AIM-120 without locking the target with onboard radar? I've tried few times but no success so far.

Two questions on F/A-18C MSI please 1. release notes mentions AWACS - shouldn't all donors on TNDL network provide tracks for MSI? Is this coming in the future? 2. great transparency with known issues, but wouldn't it be better to complete the MSI with quality even if it takes another 3+ months? What is the reason to push it out now?

What I was looking for is something similar to @Minsky outstanding F/A-18C kneeboard and breakdown of CASE I/II/III but seems there's none (unless Minsky would gift us one for Tomcat ) Victory 205 IRL-inspired CASE I guide is great of course, thanks for bringing this up!

Are Tomcat Case I-III recoveries documented anywhere? Official Heatblur DCS F-14 Tomcat — Heatblur F-14 Tomcat 1.0 documentation does not have anything on carrier landing, and while there are some videos on YT on Case I (some 4+ years old) but where is the actual as-implemented DCS F-14A/B documentation on carrier ops? Hard to believe there's none.

No the issue is that second shot was either not guiding at all (first track) or was guiding and then stopped (second track) - while target remained in the same configuration as few sec before while guiding. For example, what happened here (4m37s into second track)?

Tested a bit more and have another interesting track - first Phoenix was guiding OK for 2min 10s but then stopped while having me in sight just 6nm away. Why? Second Phoenix was guiding only first 20s and then stopped. I don't think I was outside launcher's radar FOV. At 30-40nm range and M3+ I'd expect Phoenix to be lethal vs my sloppy defense, but somehow, they just stop guiding. What is happening here? AIM-54C-stop-guiding.zip.acmi AIM-54C-stop-guiding.trk

AIM-54C-MK60 launched by F-14B AI on me as target at 37nm distance. Missile takes 45 degree pitch up and goes for the stars (hitting 167kft ASL at apogee). While launcher had me ahead of him all the time (while dodging first fired Phoenix), looks like missile never guided. Looks like a bug to me. Track and tacview attached (Iraq map, can try to repro clean on Caucasus if needed). AIM-54C.zip.acmi AIM-54C.trk
