Eviscerador

Is this a simulator or not? My problem now is not that the Sniper is bad (coming from the Lantirn on the Strike Eagle, it feels like a GREAT improvement) but that the litening is just too good in comparision. Also, the Litening V4 from razbam has X16 digital zoom where you can watch the face of a Stinger trooper from 25 NM, where all you should be able to see is a smudge.

Guys, I just tested the Sniper TGP and I have to say that you did a wonderful job with the video filtering. The digital zoom feels like a digital zoom, the video processing of the XR feature is top notch. You really feel like you are using a real TGP with flir instead of a reskin of the F2 camera on the MFD. Now my question is, are you planning in updating all the older TGP, mainly all the different litening implementations on ED modules as well? Or will the litening remain as a superior pod just because you have unrealistic focused and sharp digital zoom and sniper will be just for SIM hardcores and campaign developers? Because as it is now, the Sniper is inferior to the litening (and don't start me with the litening v4 of the razbam harrier) because on those the "digital zoom" is sharp and the flir cam is just a reskin of the TV cam, all sharp with no halo or smudges. The lantirn is ok in both implementations (tomcat and eagle) I'd say the FC4 images can stay because that's legacy code and should be a nightmare.

As far as I'm aware, the Litening implementation in the Hornet is the one the Spanish Hornets have, not the Marines one. They should be similar but remember that the Spaniards have full access to the hornet avionics and they develop their own stuff a la israeli.

I think they already said that if they find proper documentation their idea was to remove completely the Litening pod and leave the viper with the Sniper and the Lantirn as it was supposed to fly in 2007. But they need to find proper documentation and SME to confirm everything so it is unlikely. Current TGP is a mashup of litening and lantirn UI and features.

Great squadron and great people! I'm very fond of the memories flying with the RNLAF 313th. You train hard, learn a lot and enjoy one of the best and more immersive experiences DCS can offer you. Do you remember that Caparzo video called Eli 21 where a viper group does SEAD the good old way? Been there, done that, hunting SA 3 and SA 6 with just guts, terrain, CBU 87 and several mates lobbing HARM and Mavericks at the site, the PolAF 6th covered the skies and the 494th Mudhens (unfortunately disbanded right now) zoomed around and delivered thousands of pounds of freedom and democracy to the target. It was glorious. Don't be afraid about the requirements, they are somewhat flexible if the FNG (that's you!) is proactive and brings good manners and the correct mood to the team. I've been there, I know. Join our Discord! Ask! Enjoy!

The main issue here is that they need to tweak the RCS depending on the number of pylons and ordenance and my educated guess is they still haven't started the work on the revamped RCS system.

I suppose they will do something like Razbam was planning to do in the Mudhen, launching bare bones and then upgrading the different weapons and loadouts.

Most likely server owners will set the external pylons of the F35 to always on to boost the RCD to manageable levels. Also, do you really believe people will fly with just 4 AMRAAM or 2 AMRAAM and 2 GBU31? We will see beast mode all day That being said, more AI opponents with the same level of tech would be welcome. Like a J20 by Deka, super hornets or SU57.

I will only say that I chuckle a bit everytime anyone brings the "warthunder" meme to this module. I had the pleasure of talking with one pilot who tested the lightning simulator when they were offering it to our air forces and all he could say was: "it's like playing a video game, ace combat, warthunder, you name it. Everything is on the helmet display and you click on anything and you have all information available at the ready" So yeah, a realistic F35 is closer to ace combat UI than to our current 4th gen birds interface. You don't need to know how the aesa radar works, just what it can do and how it shows on the display, which is open source.

That already happens today. two of the most popular A2A modules are flaming cliffs ones mixed with full fidelity hornets, vipers and tomcats.

Most Razbam Devs have stated that if the time comes they are happy to return to their child and finish it. Most of them were freelancers hired per project, as it is normal in this market. Of course they first must be paid for their previous work. When will that happen? A legal procedure can take years if no party agrees to a friendly agreement. Whatever happens both parties are pretty screwed, specially if more <profanity> keeps hitting the fan and spreads out of the forums/Reddit/discord.

Data Transfer Cartridge. Think of it like it is a USB pendrive with all the mission information that you plug into the plane. But all military, very big, boxy, sturdy, unnecesarilly complex and coded.

The F16 does have a system similar to the F18 in which you can introduce PP coordinates in the mission computer for the bombs. But it is not implemented, supposedly it will come with the DTC.

Just a heads up that this is not corrected. I just put the liveries in my custon liveries folder at Saved Games and everything works now, but by default it doesn't work. It is a pity, because the campaign skin is really cool.

I'm pasting here some info about the Package Q strike in the Desert Storm war. The biggest strike by F16 in history. Just to show your team that even if the F16 is not a warthog, it can and it had survived hits from SAM and AA fire in the past. On pilot survivability, both the vipers shot down that day (one by direct impact from a SA3 and another one by a glancing hit) had their pilot survive, one of them even flew 150 miles until the engine failed. Currently almost any hit to the plane means the pilot is dead (mostly because all weapons aim at the pilot head instead of the CG of the plane) Here is the recap of the damaged viper transmission. We don't expect the Viper to have the same level of survivability than the A10C has, but something in the middle between that and being a paper plane like it is now.
