This error happens even with DCS installed on a single computer, without any hardware changes. Seems like a serious fault ED needs to fix.

I'm quite happy to see the upgrade B coming.

Already seems to exist been launching them off the F-4 and F-14 with a little modding of the loadouts. On the F-14 you have no idea if the missile is tracking or not at the time of launch, ofc...

I got to Mission 2 of Part 2, and right about the time I realized I was being told to CAP right over an active SA-2 site pretty much abandoned this campaign. After Mission 1, just too painful to be bothered to continue.

It seems like all they did was fix the going vertical part. The Iron Heel mission where you bomb the runway and then go 2v2 with SU-27s is a real nightmare when your AIM-54s are guaranteed to miss.

Yhea the AIM-54 behavior in TWS is sucktastic. It has made some campaign missions basically unplayable. I guess asking ED to fix anything is just too much these days.

Ah, no. I didn't see where that was listed as a requirement. I won't be buying that map.

Shows up but is grayed out and I can't start it. I DO have the community A4 mod.

Just curious is the 45B going to be added officially at some point? It seems to be less disappointing than the 45A in use.

I find the 18 much harder to land, actually.

I'll second @Skelator117s closing thoughts. I just want what I paid for. Now and in the future. EagleDynamics and Razbam need to come to an agreement that will satisfy the consumers. Going forward I want to know that I can rely on two things if I decide to buy more DCS products: 1. My product will be working and supported. 2. I will have access to use my product. This means everything patched and working, or a patch upcoming if it's broken, and this means authentication servers online and working, or alternatively an official patch to release us from that requirement, if the servers are to be taken offline.

So it sounds like Razbam is done and all their modules are toast?

I don't wanna make a separate thread so I'll ask here... What's the current AIM-7 and AIM-54 behavior? If I understand correctly the real AIM-7 needs STT guidance the whole way, but if it had switched into or was launched in HOJ mode, could continue to guide on the jammer as long as the jammer was emitting. Do the DCS AIM-7s support HOJ mode without an STT lock? In DCS I understand the AIM-54A: 1. Won't go active from a TWS launch unless supported to the activation point. 2. Won't ever go active if launched from STT. The 54C: 1. Will go active if support is lost from a TWS launch. 2. Will go active from a STT launch. Does that match up with what we know of its real capabilities? What about HOJ capability?

Okay but I wonder exactly how well they handled thay or if that's just their way of saying "lol we covered it up"? If I understand correctly, an AIM-54 launched in TWS should get midcourse updates from the launch platform. If I understand DCS correctly, the A model must be given updates all the way to the terminal active homing phase, and must get the command to go active. The C model may go active if abandoned. But if they're going vertical while I'm supporting them in TWS then clearly something else is going on, there was not yet any lock to lose...

Yhea this is irritating and potentially breaks campaigns with AIM-54 heavy intercept missions. Patch coming when ED? This is my primary module at the moment and it's kinda totally borked.

I am noticing that the usual method of engagement for the AIM-54A is to climb vertically straight up, run out of speed, and then come straight down... Are these made by ACME? I feel like Wiley Coyote using them... While we're at it the 54Cs are doing it as well but far less often.

I'm willing to pay if they're willing to do the work. I'm not willing to pay $69.99 for a copy of the existing B with a new HUD but if they're willing to do the work I could see $10.99 or something.

F-14B/U with sparrowhawk HUD? Even if released as a paid module 'add on'?

You're probably right on the money. My point, though, was that while I'd love to see these things added I'd like to see it added to an alternative aircraft in the list, so that a server who only wanted to allow a "factory pure" MiG-29 could simply add the normal ones, where a server or mission maker who was OK with players running around launching JDAMs, HARMs, and R77s could add the aircraft marked "MiG-29A 9.12 (Experimental)" and have access to all the weird and unusual weapons.

I don't find the B difficult to fly at all, even the A model isn't bad as long as I'm not in a 1v1 gun fight with a MiG-29...But if the B/U had the new MFDs from the D that would be great to have.

Sooooooo..... How about an F-14B/Upgrade module with the HUD then? I would gladly open my wallet and pay for that since it was outside the original model scope. Sell it as an add-on requiring F-14A/B or a stand alone.

Ah okay, the V10 is post Vietnam I think. I want to say the 101A was the Vietnam Era version I'm used to seeing with the full missile load.

Slant load? How so? I'm certain that the 101 could fit on the pylon with a pair of AIM-9s above it. Same for the 87. I think it's a well documented loadout for the Combat Tree F-4s. 4x Heat, 4x Radar, 1x ALQ-87, 1x ALQ-101. I wanna say one of the USAF aces got a few kills like that.

No idea, but I would absolutely pay for a B/U with the HUD as an add-on module. I hope Heatblur is listening.

Lots of things about this module are cooking PCs right now lol. A fix is coming. In the meantime, try going to the narrow scan? I think I get better FPS in narrow scan.
