..........It's impossible enough when SEAD doesn't do its job already, nevermind if air defense goes to school!..........
Well, if we had a flyable F16 or F18 in DCS, we could be sure of SEAD flights !. But that's for another thread :music_whistling:

And we haven't even mentioned the 'All weather optical tracking system' on later versions of the tor.
'Upgrades have continued over the lifetime of the system, with developer Almaz Antey unveiling the newest incarnation of the Tor missile system, the Tor-M2E,[6] at the MAKS Airshow in 2007. The latest variant features improved fire control radar coverage, and four guidance channels, allowing up to four missiles to be guided at any one time. The Tor-M2E also offers the option of a wheeled chassis, as well as a new digital computer system and all weather optical tracking system'

.......Thanks for the response and for the SA15 its no joke.
They are designed to take out fast highly maneueverable aircarft, including some cruise missiles. Our A10 does not even get close to that designation, so they are sitting ducks for the gaunlet. Unless its your job (usually its the SEAD), i would suggest you work your way around it, as soon as it shows up on your RWR, or loiter till the harm's or alarm's take it on.
Its got 8 missiles, so you if your prepared to go cat and mouse with it, and keep at the edge of its FCR radar, you might just evade the launches, remembering it can control multiple launches on at once, but missiles are command guided.
If you do get a launch warning, get eyes on on the smoke plume asap, and beam (since it uses pulse doppler), dropping chaff, but i guess its not gonna do you much good. If your close to the FCR envelope, put in on your six, and get out of dodge.
Hmm. I feel a movie comming on.....:music_whistling:

Boom operator is not so bad IMO. Look at some of the videos, or trks'. Concentrate on position, and not chasing the boom. Like poster above said, once you got it once you got it, cause till then you think there's something wrong. Boom angle is important, you should aim for 45 deg on contact. All the instructions and advice are no substitute for practice.
And don't forget to reset the contact request if you have made and broke contact (NWS button). This gets the boom operator to start again. And you gotta have your yaw and pitch control sensitivity reduced.
Good luck :smilewink:

Don't think the volume adjusts the microphone. So should not affect you outgoing comms.

............I shall start navigation once I've read enough about it in the PFM....
You might find the nav videos (link in my sig) a help with it. :smilewink:
-
... I believe you're getting courses and radials mixed up.........regards.
Video updated.
cheers for that.
-
Latest in the navigation series. A little longer than previous ones, and consolidates concepts introduced in previous navigation topics. All feedback welcome.

Should do what you are looking for.

No. The laser will activate at the time before impact YOU specify in the DSMS profile.
I stand corrected. :huh:
-
Just curious to your reason for not using Autolase?
Bombs don't do so well if guided from release at high altitude. Best released with CCRP, that makes them pretty accurate anyhow, And last 10 seconds or so lasing fine tunes them. With autolase 'on' you get the laser automatically fired on release, so bomb gets 'Lased' through out its flight.

.................BBQ - agreed, it does sort of ruin the fun! But it works. Thanks for the tip!!
There's really no substitute for good navigation. Check out what BBQ is saying in

Still learning and I have screwed up by not giving myself enough time.
Give yourself enough time for fence checks, before calling in to JTAC. For GBU's Set autolase 'off', set laser latch 'on'. Attach from high alt up to 15k. If target is mobile, change TGP to 'POINT' mode. Turn laser on 8-10 seconds before impact. :smilewink:
-
Gotta get your speed down to 120-125 knots (empty) for touch down. Then you'll have plenty of stopping space at Batumi (8000ft!). :smilewink:

Open the game,
choose 'OPTIONS'
choose 'CONTROLS'
from the dropdown, choose HOTAS,
Find the mic switch mappings.

Whats a TVV? (j/k)
Its the little airplane symbol on the HUD. It indicates the direction of travel of your aircraft.

You could still use your last waypoint in flight plan. Choose steerpoint and EGI on control panel and you'll get bearing and range on HSI. Only thing I can think of would be if you lose avionics--lose CDU or something--then at least you'll have TACAN to get home.
If your last waypoint is on your homeplate, yes. Or you could use a divert, and and make it SPI. It's what i like about DCS A10 so many solutions to each navigation problem.
-
What if you only have a tacan for that runway ?
-
I have always wondered what pointer 2 points at. Can a guy change that what pointer 2 sees? Like could I make it steerpoint?

.......after you set your program parameters and you press "Ret" to enter a value, if you press "Ret" a second time it takes you back to the active program display - without having to switch the toggle to Off and On again.......
Cheers, updated as a comment in the vid. :thumbup:

1. Note there's 2 zooms, one for the pit, and one for everything. If you got a spare rotary on your stick, you can get very precise control of views. Critical is a mapped 'pause' key for TIR, so when you get the view you want, just 'freeze it' till you are finished. I don't use precision mode. With a good TIR profile, you should not need it. See this post, and this
.2. You can map your numbers and character keys for the UFC directly to the keyboard, because ED was considerate in avoiding using them in their default mapping, but you'll have to map the other keys, sys,wp,flpln etc to others maybe ins/del/home/end panel.
3. Point of the 3d clickable pit is to be able to do just that with the mouse. Probably best go wit the flow on this one.
4. No 2d panels in DCS. but lots of 'snap' view options. Again if u got a good TIR profile, it takes care of all that.

.....Hope this helps.............
Yes it does. Many thanks.

Agree,
.....and you would not be able to tell if it was a bird close by, or a plane far away. And most command guidance systems work on complex lead pursuit geometry, to maximise the kill probability.
"Systems without Doppler capability will detect tree leaves blowing in the wind, wavetops, birds, bats, mountains, buildings, clouds, snow flakes, hail, and raindrops. These false signals are called clutter. A 1 degree antenna beam will spread to a width of about 2000 feet by the time it reaches the horizon with a radar height of about 100 feet above the surface. This will illuminate millions of square feet of surface and the target reflection will be buried in the interference. This interference produces thousands of false alarms that will crash computers and overwhelm operators."
