Aside from the improper report, basically everything you mentioned has already been reported.

Post your .miz file?

I believe he meant TMS Right with FCR as SOI.

HARMs were changed not too long ago that EWRs would no longer appear. EWRs operate at too low of a frequency for the HARM's seeker to detect.

What's your landing weight?

My understanding is that the LDDI isn't supposed switch to any page when A/A Master Mode is commanded (couldn't find anything regarding it one way or the other in the docs I have, but it could be in a different one), however in DCS the FLIR page is invoked automatically when entering A/A master mode with a targeting pod loaded.

AZ/EL will only invoke on the left DDI with the SCS if the current display on the left DDI cannot accept the TDC (e.g. STORES, FPAS, etc.). If you're running HSI/SA or FLIR on the left DDI, you'll have to select AZ/EL manually from the TAC menu.

Carrier freq should be on the kneeboard.

Kentucky windage.

Isn't bang-bang guidance only for PW2 though? My understanding was that PW3 used PN.

Works fine for me, got pictures or a track we can look at? Also, verify your radar antenna elevation isn't pointing straight up.

Here's a helpful guide:

Post pictures or a track then.

Part of the problem I see here is that the target is being lased too late. The 24's autopilot needs to see the laser for the entirety of its flight in order to maximize its range for the most energy-efficient profile. At the ranges you're dropping from in this example, self-designation would be impossible given the limited laser range in DCS, and would be better suited for designation by an offboard source.

Make sure the aircraft doesn't move during the alignment at any point (especially rearming).

From the latest changelog: Known Issue ASE dot is not always accurate

8 minutes or so is standard for a NORM alignment. Stored Heading takes about 90 seconds. You can turn off the Halloween effects with 'no_easter_eggs = true' in your autoexec.cfg.

@Hellbat It's just the Halloween event, you can disable it with no_easter_eggs = true in your autoexec.cfg.

Realistically speaking, water is a good thermal insulator, so it takes longer for it to heat up or cool down. Depending on the time of day and outside temperature, it may appear warm based on how much energy it's absorbed. Metal, on the other hand, is a good thermal conductor, so it takes less time to heat up or cool down, and metal pylons should reflect that. In terms of DCS, the new FLIR render may need additional tweaking for certain objects based on their material, the time of day, air temperature, and presumed energy state (e.g. a mission that starts at twilight/sundown should assume that things are still relatively warm and should begin bleeding off, versus one that starts before/around sunrise and should start warming up). A track or the specific miz you were flying in would help for us to see the specific conditions.

NVGs are not thermal, just light amplification. PNVS is an infrared sensor.

Lasers in DCS have a finite distance where the end of the beam terminates at around 8.2nm, so it'll pick up the end of the beam mid-air.

Nothing to do but wait, it's the weekend, give it time.

You already posted here: Be patient, give it some time.
