  1. When you try to change the range scale while in expand mode the ground radar retests itself. https://streamable.com/hy1cq9 F16_FCR_CANT_ZOOM_IN_DBS.trk
  2. I made the bug report for the 3). Someone just needs to freeze a the GM screen on the FCR and turn away. I spent the unnecessary time to look for a manual to check the obvious.
  3. FZ ground radar screen blank when: Turning, outside gimbal limits. https://streamable.com/99wx9z When TMS down And unable to make 2 or more markpoits with same FZ screen because it also blanks after first markpoint (seccond TMS UP). Other than illogical, at least the first one, it doesn't comply with the manual I found, which I understand, I can't publish nothing about it here.

  4. Let me clarify, this is not a bug report. This is simply a post with the objective of showing a behavior that I am sure other people have already noticed, make some comparisons and I was interested in hearing the opinion of others if anyone was interested.. it's just a post to discuss a certain aspect of the DCS f16.
  5. In the 3) case where you lose the freeze image... the F-15E has an "auto freze" function (with a freeze that works), that freezes the DBS image when you are outside gimbal limits, which is logical behavior. On the F16 it just leaves you with a black image despite already being in freeze mode. https://streamable.com/orjres?t=15
  6. I remember I made a similar post SIMILAR, not same (please do not close this one by implying that it is the same as the other) almost one year ago, still no solution. The only reason I insist on this is because it's really unusable like this. It's a pain every time you try to use the ground radar, and with limited functionality. It's like having a ground radar but not having it at the same time.
  7. I added a video link for each of the points.
  8. 1) Right now when you are in GM mode with DBS2, and you want to get a closer look clicking the OSB button of the range, the radar just resets itself. I don't have a real F-16 to test on my own, but the behavior we have right now is cumbersome, hard to believe it like that on the real aircraft. If you want to take a close look at something at 15 miles you need to firs put the radar on the 10 mile distance after that you are just blind, because you can't see the cursor. Forget about doing it at 23 nm. This video show the old behavior which is much more logical. You go with the cursor to a zone, DBS1->DBS2 and then zoom with the USB buttons. Is this behavior ever going to come back? Before (good in my opinion) Now: https://streamable.com/ncz1ru 2) Mark point whit radar. When you are in DBS mode and click on MRK (7) the radar just resets itself. So if you find something and want to do a mark point, you need to find it twice. And also, you cant make multiple mark points with DBS mode, It just reset's itself every mark point. Shouldn't I be able to do multiple mark points without needing to find the target again and again. https://streamable.com/zlt59h 3) FZ screen... it resets itself to a black screen by multiple different reasons. One of them being turning the aircraft away from the point... shouldn't the image be "store", so I amble to use it while cold from the target. What's the logic behind freezing if I then need to maintain radar angle with that point. Is just not useful. Other reason is again, doing a markpoit, why can I just do 2 or more mark points on the same freeze radar image like in the F-15E. It just doesn't make sense. https://streamable.com/orjres
  9. I was about to post the same. This please. A zoom toggle so we a use a single button.
  10. I have not seen this problem again. I started playing cold war because of this and I loose track of this problem, then I came back again and I forgot to report, sorry.
  11. Regarding the "textToAll" function It would be nice to have a true/false parameter in which if true, the scale of text is always the same size independently of the zoom in the F10 view. So we can put text that doesn't look awkward when you are way zoomed in the map or zoomed out. And I think that should be the default case, since as it is now, 90% of the time you're on the map, the text always looks out of scale.
  12. So no source, just speculation. The answer was simpler -> "I'm speculating and I don't have a source" I have no problem with you speculating, but don't say it as if it were a revealed truth. Because what I see is that everyone is repeating this argument like parrots, but it's not so clear that this is the case. At least not by an official source. That's why I was asking for a source, because maybe I had miss something and I wanted to know. I can also speculate that, maybe deka chose this one because it was more modern and they thought it would sell better than an older plane without an INS, or better radar, or any other advantage that this plane has over an older version. I mean... since we are in the field of speculation. And I'll let you know that my position is that I'd rather have the Ka-50 than have nothing.
  13. Nineline said he was no speaking on behalf Deka, so lets cross that one out. I only would like to read the source, so I can come to my own conclusions. Do you have the Deka source??
  14. Do you have the source of that statement from a relevant person (not moderators)?
  15. Is there FLOOD mode?
  16. The female voice -> "Amenaza" = Threat The male voice -> "Avion" = Airplane
  17. is this still the casa??
  18. 1) Point one can't invalid, because is not a statement.. so no logic there. But the new statement you make is also invalid, because if I use the word with your criteria, a player that is not aware that on curtain conditions he may have certain advantage, he may not be "exploiting" that advantage. So therefore, some pilots may be exploiting some feature, some may be exploiting other, some may be exploiting all and some none. So if I want to refer to what advantage so-and-so is using or not using, this word, as part of the English vocabulary, fits. 2) And then, can you be a little more specific?. Since "you can home on jam pretty effective" is a rather ambiguous argument to put the kitten. I mean, you missed the argumentative part. I may be perfectly wrong, but prove it with an argument. Again, you mean with a mad dog missile?, or you can do some sort of jamming track with the F-16 or JF-17 radar to at least give azimuth and elevation to the missile??
  19. 1) exploit: "make full use of and derive benefit from (a resource)." What is the problem with that word? 2) In the F-16 you can't home on jam, and I believe you also can't on the JF, but I may be wrong on the latter. Maybe with a maddog missile, but good luck doing that at 30nm and dithout altitude information... so no, you can't.
  20. Not jamming at all. Jammer OFF
  21. Two double tap shots (4 hits total). One front aspect, other rear aspect and did nothing to a player driven Hind. The Vikhr warhead only weight as much as an entire Igla. In my opinion this is a bug. https://streamable.com/fyic2k
  22. Same with F-16 yesterday... I couldn't see him while I was not jamming, but couldn't see him because of his jamming. Regardless of that, he was able to lock me up and shoot at me. So I wasn't able to burn through his jamming, but he was able to shoot at me while jamming at the same time, and not via STT. And the guy was clearly exploiting that all night.
  23. Oh men. that was it. I needed to be logged in. I even went to the shopping card to se if there was an upgrade option. Thanks.
  24. I didn't bought the A-10C upgrade because I didn't fly it that often and I didn't like to much the monocle thing, frankly not interested. But now, there is usually slots for A-10C II only on servers I play. So now if I want to fly the A-10 I need to buy it again at 80 usd... So I never touch the A-10C again. And I get the server slot logic.. with the 300 slots per server, having to add even more slots for the same aircraft is illogical. The last time, the BS1 and BS2 used the same slots, so there was not problem. But now for the BS3, it is going to happen the same as with A10C and A10CII. I'm not against paying for an upgrade, or whatever, but the methodology, with the "limited upgrade time" if not, 80 dollars to be able to use an aircraft you already own... not fond of that. So I learned my lesson, If I want to keep flying the K-50 I will have pay for the upgrade instantly because then your aircraft wont be on the servers. Ok... but I find it quite compulsory and it leaves me with a bitter taste. EDIT: I take back what I said. It still is 20usd for the upgrade. Last time I checked, I even went to the shopping card to see if there was an upgrade option. But when you login, the price changes. So it's not 80 usd for the upgrade, it is 20usd.
  25. Yes I'm aware. I'm not talking about that. I'm saying that for example, the radar screen or instruments look good, but some switches look like if they were 5mm tall (mirage 2000C ins). Like there is no relation between the scale of two thing in the same cockpit. One thing is big and other is small at the same time.
