    POIs just beyond the Afghan borders

    in DCS: Afghanistan Wishlist

    Posted

    Since the terrain will likely be included anyway because of the extension of Afghanistan covered by a rectangular map module, will we see places of importance just behind or even a bit further the border?

    For example:
    - Termez, Uzbekistan, literally at the border, has an airfield, could be an important base for the DCS C-130J.
    - Abbottabad, Pakistan, could be the location of an intense counterinsurgency operation, commencing from Bagram and Jalalabad, Afghanistan.
    - Peshawar, Pakistan, east end of the famous Khyber pass coming from Afghanistan

    Of course there are so many more possibilities (Kashmir, a tiny bit of China just behind the Afghan Wakhan mountains to include a Chinese airstrip, a connection to the Persian Gulf map, cities of Islamabad and Dushanbe...) but I understand that there has to be some limit (well I pretend to understand, in fact I am unable to😜)

    Thanks for considering 😘

    Indian Ocean

    in DCS: Afghanistan Wishlist

    Posted

    Access from the Indian Ocean supported by air2air-refueling would mean so much more possibilities.
    The Baluchistan region between south Afghanistan and the Ocean wouldn't even require any detailed scenery, terrain only would be just fine.

    Please don't miss this chance to include the opportunity for long range naval air ops.

    no NCTR

    in Bugs and Problems

    Posted · Edited by Rongor

    Here I close in to a group of red Il-76, commencing at 40 NM distance, down to 1 NM and below.
    At no point does the L+S interrogation nor the auto interrogation I switched to later manage to IFF any of these contacts.
    I guess the reason might be that it doesn't IFF to hostile and only clue it will give is that its not friendly...

    I end up directly behind my L+S tracked Il-76 and while the IFF is still asleep, the NCTR also doesn't ever ID this aircraft in front of me.
     

    of course there is proof:

    How to STT the current L&S contact?

    in Bugs and Problems

    Posted · Edited by Rongor

    The manual claims I need to press cage/uncage, yet this toggles the Sparrow's loft mode on and off and doesn't affect STT.
    Only way to enter STT is SCS right. Yet I do have to move the TDC on the desired contact, so the whole process of designating a primary target beforehand seems a bit irrelevant when I can't conveniently put this into STT.

    I'd also be interested to know how to drop STT quickly as the nws/undesignate doesn't appear to reliably do this.

    Engine keeps running after being hit, prevents repair

    in Bugs and Problems

    Posted · Edited by Rongor

    Just RTBed with a single engine. After shutting down for repair, the ground crew refuses to accept the task because I should shut down my engines. Both are shut down, power levers are both to off. Still ground crew claims I have to shut down before they repair....

    The mission has run for about 55 minutes. I guess you don't want the trackfile (53 MB) then?

    RLWR occasionally not detecting SA-15

    in Bugs and Problems

    Posted

    In the recent days I noticed several occasions in which the CMWS detected missile launches, which then turned out to be from SA-15.
    Only the RLWR didn't detect the SA-15 at all before.
    So no "SA-15 searching", "SA-15 tracking", "SA-15, launch" alerts, only "Missile".

    I am currently regularly playing on the Rotorheads server for helo gameplay. There is usually high numbers of all kind of SAM systems littered across the map there, so you get in contact with these quickly.

    It could of course be a problem with the SA-15 instead, launching on targets without any prior radar use. I am not sure Tor systems have a manual launch and guidance mode though and in all these occasions did the Tor launch from 4+ NM away.
    Other Apache players on the server noticed it too.

    Today I had it happen right after starting up and taking off, so we can now enjoy a rather short track to review.
    After around 5 minutes of cold start, you will see me rolling out of a hangar at Beirut, do a running takeoff out of this motion, then do a right turn. The missile alert happens in that right turn. Turning my head to my 5 oclock, you can see the missile coming from the far mountains in the east. After that one is defeated by terrain masking, another one gets launched. Only then the RLWR did notice there is SA-15 activity.

    I hope this one can be cleared up.

    F/A-18C cold start (engine start or ext power) is resulting in crash to desktop

    in Bugs and Problems

    I am reliably crashing to desktop whenever I startup my Hornet on my favorite MP server.
    By testing I could narrow down that this is triggered by some avionics being powered (generators coming online when engine start). With normal startup procedure the game will crash when the first engine (L or R, both same symptoms) has spooled up. If I switch off the generators before, engines can maintain idle RPM and react to throttle inputs normally. The moment I switch on the generator of the running engine, CTD...

    Happens also when not starting engines at all and connecting to ground power. After all 4 external power switches are flipped on and MPDs are switched on, crash to desktop.

    Fellow players experience this as well.

    latest openBeta and running MT...

    attached tracks/logs:

    1. both engines start with generators off, then generators on

    Trim Centering

    in DCS: F-16C Viper

    Not wanna highjack the thread here, but someone said the trimming speed is too high in DCS. The amount the trim kicks in when you push the button on the Hotas. It might also be a good idea to look into the speed the trim is set in the real F16. If it is way slower than in DCS then you could easily reset the trim yourself. But currently I fail to release the hotas button quickly enough for a neutral trim.

    I noticed this myself very recently. I find it hard, often impossible, to trim the aircraft for level flight with the trim hat on the stick. The tiniest actuation seems to have a way too powerful impact.
    Using a Thrustmaster A-10/F-16 stick for it, I wouldn't know how to adjust senistivity as the trim hat is a set of buttons not axis.
