Aim120 can be trashed with a barrel roll and chaff headon
Muchocracker replied to GRY Money's topic in Weapon Bugs
You're still missing the forest for the tree's. As others have already brought up in this thread, plenty of old API AAM's are effected by the loaded barrel rolling maneuvers and have miss distances similar to the amraam (in its best kalman filter state which was before this last tuning change iirc). The common theme is all of them have sufficient warhead proximity fusing to make the miss distances not matter. We can debate all day of whether ED's decision to run head first into the wall of fully reverse engineering every single detail is the right one, but it's going to be pointless. The reality is this kind of maneuver is an actual challenge to solve for in the real world and it's already been an issue this whole time in DCS even before the new API. So we've been complaining about the wrong thing. I'm going to keep pounding the table on this proximity fusing thing because imo the real solution. -

Muchocracker replied to GRY Money's topic in Weapon Bugs
As maestro has already stated in this thread. The amraam is the only one directly effected by this because it's the only missile on the new API (besides the PL-12) Said new API seems to simulate almost every possible source of noise in the missile. It eventually adds up. - slight imperfections in the fin servo's that create inaccuracies in the readout of the position of the fin or in executing those commands (over/under deflects) - imperfections in the seeker gimbal servo's for the same reasons - inaccuracies from the seeker for any number of reasons like the range resolution, imperfection of monopulse's angle measurement, digital signal processing lags, automatic tracking lags like the range gate loops. There's a ton here that could contribute, we'd be here a while if i listed every one of them. - scintillation or otherwise known as glint phenomena that can radomly cause the seeker to think the target has suddenly moved 200 feet to the left from one pulse to the next. The Kalman filters that maestro mentions are there to smooth all of those noises out before it sends the final control inputs through the guidance autopilot. But those filters can also introduce their own lags depending on how its tuned and what weights it's given. It can be made super stable and resistant to noise but then it's sluggish to react to the target's true movements when they are rapid. Or it could be made more reactive but then those noise's have more effect. For better or worse the new API is what it is. It's excrutiatingly detailed in every possible way you can and can't think of. Like maestro has repeated it's not as simple as adjusting the kalman filter and the problem is gone entirely. And we'll just have to take his word for it that it'll never be. I think hobel and others are right that the proximity fusing is where the focus should be at. I for one don't understand why the proximity distance has to be so rigidly within the 100% kill radius of the warhead. A zero radial velocity trigger if the missile passes within a certain extended miss distance would be enough to at least cause some damage. -

if you're using inertial aided munitions you need to undesignate and re-designate the waypoint to do the coordinate handoff. It does not do it for you.

There is an extra 20 second delay after the CV RF check fails and it reverts to CV CBL.

they definitely havent modelled the airbust effect yet at all. I don't think that will happen till whatever this fragmentation model overhaul is

TDC on SA Page shows no Speed and Altitude

Idk what the bug is suppose to be here. The TUC information is only suppose to show when you TUC a trackfile. -
JDAMS and TOO. Not releasing first time and "inzone" errors.
Muchocracker replied to cptmrcalm's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3336864/ Might be this one, i don't remember. Our group does some mod repackaging to combine them into single files for our open mod manager packs -

You have to step through both stations and switch them to TOO mode. -

FPM rate of descent is the determiner for exceeding gear stress limits at any given gross weight. Has nothing directly to do with AoA on touchdown. -
Mk-20 in CCIP drops several hundred feet short of the CCIP piper

Guy, the CCIP and CCRP calculations are module by module basis. The hornet's was fixed 2-3 patches ago -

Muchocracker replied to Norcat's topic in DCS Core Wish List
Closest we'll ever get is the IDF mod f-18D. ED will never do it cause it's not just a plug in new external model, cockpit, and multicrew code and it's off the races. The flight model would require extensive modifications due to the changes in departure characteristics caused by the larger canopy. There's a UT knoxville masters thesis on it out there if you wanna read it. -

investigating Hornet's Slow-State Energy Bleed?
Muchocracker replied to wilbur81's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
He said that about the AoA abilities years ago but here we are with the most recent FM update basically doubling the max AoA it'll yank to 60 degree's.
