High drag bombs - incorrect fusing behavior
Tholozor replied to Diesel_Thunder's topic in Weapon Bugs
As far as I know, the Mk-82 AIR with the BSU-85 or BSU-49 ballute kit does permit the installation of a fuze in the tail well, you can see the M905 fuze spinwheel installed on the bombs in the first track, so setting the fuze to TAIL should result in detonation. I'm not entirely sure regarding the installation of tail fuzes on the Snakeye, someone with more immediate information can probably fill in the gaps. -
ECM XMIT Position 1 and 2 - In Game Effects

Pitch trim with flaps set to AUTO doesn't trim the stabs the way you would expect with flaps set to HALF or FULL. With flaps in AUTO, pitch trim changes the FCS' G-command. With flaps in HALF or FULL, pitch trim changes the FCS' AoA-command (use this to manually adjust the stab positions on the ground). Depressing and holding the T/O Trim button commands the stabs to 12° nose-up (providing a TRIM advisory). The FCS Reset button doesn't change anything regarding the position of any of the control surfaces, it only clears transient errors on the FCS page.

My understanding of it is that if a slew is applied to the steerpoint system, the JDAM will use relative targeting on sensor-derived coordinates, but if all slews are Cursor Zeroed, the JDAM should use absolute targeting on steerpoint coordinates (this part being missing in the current implementation).

According to real-world satellite imagery and aeronautical publications for OAKN, the TACAN station at Kandahar is misplaced. Current location is much too close to the runway. Real-world coordinates provided by the AIP (N 31°30'11.0" E 65°50'45.6", satellite imagery from 2011, the shadow of the station is clearly visible along the ground):

The U.S. manual supports this behavior as well, referencing the section on the operation of the ILS on the upfront controls.

Been like this for a long time:

cannot produce and mssing track file F-18 C Erratic Vertical Trim Behavior
Tholozor replied to HvanE's topic in Bugs and Problems
To expand on the above post: de-selecting an autopilot relief mode (BALT, RALT, etc) from the UFC option select buttons does not fully disengage autopilot (the system drops into Control Stick Steering (CSS) autopilot mode, denoted by an 'A/P' advisory). Actuation of the paddle switch is the recommended method to ensure all autopilot modes are disengaged. -
Mark points - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
Tholozor replied to d0ppler's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
Did you ensure the MARK page was set to HUD? -
Protective coating on USN style Bombs is too shiny
Tholozor replied to twistking's topic in Object Bugs
Some other examples of how dirty the coating can get: -
After going to the FD page, put the desired heading into the scratchpad, then press the line option for heading.

Wrong Instrument Panel for the CH-47F
Tholozor replied to OhNoMyHookBroke's topic in Bugs and Problems
Ah, yes I see that part you're referring too now (that curved bit off the edge of the panel). The cockpit diagrams in the IRL -10 manual support the current design (being straight all the way down), but IRL imagery appears to be different. MH-47G models seem to have the straight design (this one specifically 05-03762): -
Wrong Instrument Panel for the CH-47F
Tholozor replied to OhNoMyHookBroke's topic in Bugs and Problems
I'm pretty sure that's a side-effect of whatever lens is being used in that picture, other pictures of U.S. Army CH-47Fs clearly show the panels are flat, and match what we have in DCS. -
I don't think he means the window; look closely, and you'll notice the lower half of the door itself is missing in the interior picture.

Pilot always die when F/A-18C is hit by (any) missile
Tholozor replied to ricnunes's topic in Bugs and Problems
I've taken plenty of missile hits and survived to either limp back to base or eject over the years. The impact direction/location and type of the missile will play a big part in determining if the pilot survives. -
I think he means like this:

@Pribs86 From what I can see in the first post, you have a slew delta in your steerpoint system (evidenced by the 'CZ' option for Cursor Zero on the HSD). Press the CZ option to zero the slew delta.

Hornet Sensor Depress, doies it REALLY do anything?
Tholozor replied to Steel Jaw's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
Depressing the SCS, then bumping it towards the ATTK format within a second (or 0.8s, can't remember which) will command manual IFF interrogation. Alternatively you can enable automatic interrogation from the AZ/EL page with the AUTO INT option in the lower left corner. -
Is it similar as to what's been described here?

Also keep your landing gross weight in mind. The maximum field landing weight should be no more than 39,000 pounds.

The texture layout has been changed to the new model, and the entries in the description.lua have also changed.

AFAIK still not planned:
