"Lutch" indicator for antiradiation missiles (replaces the TV when BA-58 "Wyuga" pod is mounted). With su-25a avionics those are still fired "maddog" but it allows to place the aircraft at a right angle so theres higher chance for signal interception by the seeker (yes, I have tested it).

Those are not flares. They are a special illumination cartridges that blow up with bright and short flash - for the night photos. No idea if I'll be able to make it work but sure I'll try.

KKR-1 Pod Texturing in the process

Do people read previous posts at all? (No they dont) Yes, project is still alive. Kinda busy in my private life, work, and for the last two weeks I was balls deep into new MiG-29A. Here's a render of the KKR-1 Recon Pod for Su-22.

Yes, I have read about it and I also mentioned in the original post, that I am aware of the purpose of the replay system. We got some additional camera options in the replays, so ED is well aware of what we use it for most of the time. It is been unchanged since lockon days, I'm hoping we'll get some improvements or completely new system made for creating videos or taking screenshots. I understand recording all of the units may take some resources and replays could be big. but just allow it to be switched on or off.

I've decided to write this post since I didnt see anyone who reported this issue get enough attention, so I'll try myself As you may know, we - content creators are constantly working with DCS replay system. Anyone who worked with them knows how annoying can they be. Seems that with recent updates almost all replays have some sort of problems in them. Most commonly it is with how AI behaves while playing live and how it behaves on replay. It very often happens that AI enemy planes manouver differently which makes targeting them on radar impossible, since it recoded my input aiming the TDC cursor at somewhere the bandit is not anymore (despite it was there live), or similiar thing with vertical scan or HMD targeting - In F-16 if you are not in cockpit and moving your head to aim at the bandit the fox-2 wont get a lock, so how are you supposed to record it "from the outside"? The other problem with that is often times you not being able to shoot at nothing - because AI went the other way on replay - means the AI continues to do its thing, shoots you, and then you fly the plane wreck till the end of mission. The same happens with missile targeting, your radar can hold lock in live gameplay but can drop lock on replay - meaning fox1 that hit the bandit, wont hit on replay. Same with fox-2 and fox-3 missiles, they often dont hit their target on replay or even go for a different one. Why are their tracking and flypath being recalculated again on replay? Recently theres this bug where your plane will vibrate violently during flight - especially on fc3 planes and mods, happens by itself, when using autopilot or damper, or when the plane gets damaged - even seen on Wags fulcrum videos (which he claims is not a replay bug but rather something to do with the fulcrum, we all know its not, looks exactly the same as the replay bug thats been there for years). MiG-29A Fulcrum often does not retract the front landing gear, you probably know about this. I understand that replay feature is mainly for debugging but like c'mon, it works exactly like 10 years ago, records inputs as unreliable as 10 years ago, and almost nobody uses it for debugging but for screenshots and videos. Why cant it record position and state of every object on the map so there is no problems like mentioned above? We dont mind the replay being hundreds of megabytes in size - IL-2 Sturmovik already does that and noone is complaining since the replays do their job there. Especially when you can disable track recording which I'm sure you can In dcs. Some of the replays are straight up innaccessible. You either get "mission load fail" message, or when you load a mulitplayer replay theres no replay, rather just server mission started locally on your pc. It doesnt matter if you use mods or not, although modded dcs tends to have this issue more often which I kinda understand. As a person who was uploading dcs videos almost daily, I know how much pain in the a$$ it is to work with them, often having to replay and record the same mission over and over again until replay works fine. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one having problems with that, because Its been like that for years. Please do something with that, especially given the fact that without Youtubers and other content creators DCS wouldnt be as popular as it is, so at least give us, creators, a proper working tool. Have a nice evening

None of the modes can detect launches and I get it - it is realistic. But SPO thread database could be sent to manufacturer for update, so why not making the automatic mode being able to detect at least some launches. We're not asking for ARM's detection, but at least some SARH launches from planes and SAM. BVR is now kinda pointless, especially without ground intercept. That would be a great idea to have it behave realistically on Stock WP mode (since automatic mode doesn't charge much at all) and have launch warning detection on automatic.

It is not planned right now, maybe in the future

I forgot to mention, we were using the FRIEND-FOE switch in the default FOE postion. I'm trying to replicate the issue right now on singleplayer and on caucasus and it seems like it is working fine, even the VS locks targets now. I used the same targets as on the MP mission we flown (su25 of enemy coalition) and the same setting of FRIEND-FOE switch (FOE). Could the map or the fact that it was MP cause the issues? I and the person hosting the servers didnt have any mods installed.

We were testing it on CW Germany, can I send that replay? Also, it is working correctly on singleplayer

Yes, thats the point, Automatic setting should allow it to see launches.

Hi, after testing the newest MiG-29A I've noticed some things not working properly. At the start I'd like to say that I have read the early access manual as well as having access to real world manual of the aircraft. First of all, I dont mind the AIM-120s not being in the thread library of that time, so the RWR does not recognise the launch - however turns out that the RWR does not recognise any launches at all. We get search and lock warnings but no launch warning. I've tested this with only those units that should be in the SPO database like F-15, F-18 and other planes with SARH missiles as well as ground SAM's like hawk or sea based radars. No launch warning at all, not from SARH missiles and not from SAMs. Second problem I encountered is the radar behauvior. It has problems with target aquisition in AUTO and PURSUIT mode, especially in the PURSUIT making it pretty much useless as this mode was designed for chasing targets at close range. The contacts in both modes get detected without much problems but no matter the aspect and range you cannot lock it 90% of the time (yes, I'am holding the lock button, not only pressing, besides it works decent in HEADON mode as well as the close range OPT modes) The radar VS mode (vertical scan) seems to not want to lock any target as well, no matter the range and aspect. Tested this with normal sized targets like fighter jets as well as helicopters and big planes such as awacs. Another small problem I noticed is that wings don't bend under the load (wing vapor looks cool af tho), gills moving at high aoa/low speed work only on owncraft (other planes on the server have them closed at all times besides landing/takeoff) and mirrors image is very low framerate. I hope those things are bugs, not a features, and will hopefully be fixed soon.

WE GOT R-27 DATALINK BEFORE GTA VI.

If something is missing means you installed something incorrectly

BA-52 "Wyuga" - ELINT pod for Su-22, with the "Lutch" indicator. I made it so when you equip the Wyuga, the TV in cockpit gets replaced by the screen for KH-58 and 25MPU targeting. Now comes the fun part - coding the sead indicator and logic using Su-25A avionics

I've been on work related journey for two weeks. I just got home (like 4h ago) Anyway, In those hours I started working on BA-52 Vyuga ELINT pod, and then the KKR-1

They work as the Kh-29L, they just aren't guided by laser rather locking to a point on the ground and sometimes they catch a moving target

No, I won't switch to Su-25T avionics because people will use it as it has TGP, which Su-22 didn't have. The TV screen was used only for Kh-29T seeker feed and Wyuga elint system. Su-25A avionics have identical gunsight and weapon system as in Su-22. This will do for now. If the CWS guy will not be as busy with Su-30 and 35 for Codename Flanker, he might cook a CWS for Su-22 - already talked with him about it and he agreed - that will allow it to have working TV while still having Su-25A avionics. Moreover, mod is made in such a way that switching avionics to su-25t will render it useless and most things won't work properly. You might like it or not but that is my decision - I am not letting people do things with my mod that shouldn't be done.

Theres no nonsense. Bone parenting or animation made incorrecty.

What issue?

Hope you enjoy another Su-22 mod showcase, despite replay for external views being buggy and me missing some missile shots. This time, most of the cockpit is clickable, it has proper cold start, custom sounds for engine or launch authorised and more! Everything is still work in progress, estimated release Q4 2025.
