In DCS output is limited to spring stop. Passing the spring stop requires holding the [L] key. You can read more about it in my simpit thread. You can also find physical data on controls movement there (attached spreadsheet). Thanks for bringing more attention to the subject. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318106-f-5e-simpit-cockpit-dimensions-and-flight-controls/

I managed to make it occur after 20 mins of flight. I wouldn't say I reproduced the bug because I'm not sure what are the exact steps to make it manifest. The attached track file has the following flight profile (Radar Off, I don't think it's relevant though): 1. for 10 mins: TO from Batumi, single turn West, straight and level. Result: Not a degree of drift. 2. X mins of banked flight straight and level. Result: No drift. 3. up to 15:20 in-game: Immelman followed by straight and level flight. Result: 5 deg drift. A video recording I took in parallel with recording the track. Not entire flight is included in the video. bug F-5E attitude indicator 5deg error after 20 mins 2024-11-30.zip

Thanks!

And if I disable the launcher, to not start at startup, how do I invoke it in the future? There's no separate shortcut for it in Start - Eagle Dynamics.

Speaking of failures, are the ones listed in the mission editor for an aircraft type the only possible failures or are they just the only trigger-able ones?

Me neither. DCS freshly updated. I used Instant Action Take off missions 1 and 2 just today. BTW, is the #2 a new mission? I don't think I've seen it before.

Correct, with the landing gear down. I was talking about imminent ground collision save or a belly landing with gear up.

Due to the design of the lever and the fact that it's the only way to fully and permanently extend the flaps (no automation "tailoring" the position because you oscillated in pitch for 1 second) the lever seems to be better suited for emergency use. I'd sure use it for belly landing with landing gear retracted. Helicopter hunting and formation flying with turboprops also come to mind. Maximum range with any stores and maximum endurance without stores is achieved with flaps UP but that can be set on the thumb switch on the throttle.

I'm all for the upgrate but it feels weird advocating for it and not having even one forward-facing screenshot of the new cockpit

1 hour of radar-off aerobatics interweaved with touch and go's and some straight flight and wide settled turns. Result: Can't replicate in the current build.

I suppose the flow is it make take some time for the devs to get on an issue and by that time a track may be out of date. I've seen tracks getting broken by just a single patch. There are several open topics pertaining to the issue. With some pointers from one of the testers I tried to re-create the bug and was unable to. I tried the same mission (instant action original Takeoff mission) and maneuvers I did the last time I saw that bug manifest - in Dec-Jan 2023/2024. As I said I couldn't replicate it. I followed the Antonov all the Tibilisi with no ADI drift. From the reading of some other threads I've got on my list to try: 1. Radar off right from the start. 2. High AoA horizontal maneuvers. 3. Vertical and scewed combat turns after takeoff. So, guys, let's squash it and get it on ED's queue finally! The time has come. Please try replicating the bug on your end with all mods disabled for the time of track recording.

Your previous post read: "I hope some work has been done to the radar, both visually and functionality wise." My recent post read: Some work has been done, even prior to the Upgrade.

There have been some significant fixes to the F-5E radar some 2 months ago. Check out the changelog.

Did I hint I consider it otherwise I meant that there was a decision to even show them in the promo video. By the way, I hope ED doesn't touch the wingtip vortices. They are magnificent even now! Ma-gni-fi-cent I tell you! https://youtu.be/BcbXvAzie5I?t=131

One note on the Ascending promo video. The high energy LEX vortices are featured for the F-5E despite clearly being a work-in-progress subproject and I for one find it extremely positive! You guys should do it more often Especially that the Development Screenshots section on the main website can get a tad stale for months long stints.

Regarding the external model, it never bothered me, as in the quality of the mesh. It can look very well. See the attached screenshot by Bullet4MyEnemy What was lacking was a high resolution texture template. The current one has unreadable servicing labels and symbols. Odd. On the other hand even in the current build I'd say the aft metallic section is a masterpiece with the origknal artist not falling for the common temptation of overdoing the metallic effect. I hope the new template is going to be available during the first release week of the upgrade.

@ThorBrasil Isn't it just a different variant of an UHF antenna?

I wouldn't want to insult anyone but people asking such questions are either not DCS forum lurkers or they have some disassociation with reality going on. There's a third group oblivious to the fact that F-5A and T-38 are completely different aircraft, especially from an advanced FM development point of view.

I was hoping I missed some info in the comments on X. Oh well. I've got to consider it a positive as it's going to be much more hard to focus on simply work after the remake gets released.

Ok but... When do we get the F-5E remake? Any estimates?
