You can use air to ground radar to spot. Use GMT mode

Hello, I have been seeing certain players when they found this bug to abuse this a lot especially in the f14 or any other one shot survivable aircraft where if they get hit they dont eject and reslot to spectators or another slot preventing the death for himself and kill for the winner. Can this please be fixed? Thanks Vampiresquid

lol

I reported this here as well.. There are other aircraft which are offroad capable like the SU25 , SU33 and dont know about f14 but viggen as well.. and those aircraft can really not do what the hornet can.. It is really overperforming.. F16 can taxi fine but cannot takeoff or land .. hornet can do anything offroad... And just for info we are blueflag players we get a lot of farps and roadbases to see and test this out..

Has anyone else noticed lower refresh rate in the JF17 hud? This patch..

Can confirm nothing has changed.. The F18 lands and takes off from dirt like nothing.. other aircraft gets their nose landing gear damaged or flip right over during a landing on dirt... There is also a lot of vibration and bumps and jerks the aircraft face on dirt.. the hornet is moving like its on smooth tarmac @BIGNEWY

Once he stops on the dirt he wont be able to move let alone takeoff unless he gets on a road..Also if he doesnt stop and tries to takeoff on dirt he will destroy his jet.. f18 however can takeoff from anywhere.. and start rolling even if its stopped in dirt.. Interesting i didnt know they changed mechanics for aircraft on ground/dirt.

So I noticed that the WMD-7 is kind of outranging the WMD-7s normal point track range by locking an air target moving away.. I kept the point track up to ~55nm until i gave up it just didnt lose lock.. Heres a track file. Acquiring the point track is normal approximately 20nm but losing the track is atm infinite. Thanks Deka/uboats for this outstanding module nonetheless! JF17 WMD-7 Test.trk

I think ill leave the post here as it is.. Hoping Bignewy already talked to the team.. not going deeper.. since its not a large issue but certainly unfair to leave the other aircrafts out of the capability.. but when i said hornet can land on any terrain i actually mean any terrain.. not just dry land either.. Heres a nice photo of the frogfoot that cant land on nearby farps or roadbases in dcs..(can land on the road but cannot turn cuz theres dirt on both sides of the road) just saying.. Su33 has bigger wheels and a tough landing gear too...anyways im done with the post for now.

Back to square one.. Viggen, Su33, Su25T, (They cant) etc etc etc..

Neither was I upset with the hornet problem.. nor i disagreed with you.. If you watch my hornet video you can see how absurd it is for it to be able to do that.. My post was very simple.. for ED to look into it since other jets cannot do it.. I did not want Huge posts commenting about actual facts or what they can do in real life.. This was JUST about DCS not real life.. I am upset about why people like you make things complicated and not about the issue of hornets landing on ground.. I also sometimes use the hornet this way since other people use it and I take advantage too.. I reported this because ED themselves care about it.. What they do with this problem is up to them.. I only wanted them to acknowledge that this issue exists.. Man seriously look at your posts. no offence They belong in general chat.. or discussion forums..

This was my point.. if the hornet can do it.. why not the viggen with large wheels, SU25T, SU33, harrier?.. Like i said.. I tested them out.. my point is if hornet can then its only an on and off switch for ED to make it available for other strong landing gear jets.. or remove it for hornet.. This was supposed to be a simple post until people started making it complicated.. Edit: Oh right it was you.

There really is no need to explain me if f18 is capable or not.. what i mean is that its abnormally capable.. yes other aircraft should have that enabled as well who are capable but right now its not supposed to and "That easily" even slopes dont effect it.. Also im an aviation professional and currently work as an aircraft mechanic..im already aware of whatevrrr you mentioned.. i am not saying this cuz i have a problem in one server.. This is supposed to be taken as a report to ED team.. its not a complaint since it didnt affect me in anyway it happened in my own team.. So please I want to request you to leave this post less cluttery.. i didnt say anything to comment on your photo..and let me hear BIGNEWY's reply with all due respect.

This is not the concern.. My main point is that f18 is the only jet powered aircraft that can taxi/move/land/takeoff from dirt/grass anywhere but water....

@BIGNEWYHi can you confirm if you sent this to your team?.. I have been seeing more hornet players trying to get their opponents teams awacs and if chased they just land anywhere they want on the ground to escape them... It is actually quite ridiculous that the hornet can land anywhere it wants...
