investigating Bombing solution seems to use Barometric Altitude only
UWBuRn replied to ldnz's topic in Bugs and Problems
Pit language makes no difference (thankfully). After some more testing, to my understanding LR aiming works as long as you don't input any point in the DTC. By points i mean the first tab, not waypoints or A/D, even if without points you can't of course have waypoints. As soon as you input a point in the DTC, the TargetPoint in the Weapon tab is assigned and it reverts to the behavior of relying on DTC altitude + correct baro reference. Not sure if it's working as intended, probably not. I guess that, either: TargetPoint should have an option to be left unassigned TargetPoint altitude + bar reference only make sense for TOSS mode -
I have tried once and it works, but without RSBN is still not worth the wait. The procedure is not in the game manual, and i'm not 100% sure, i was looking on the German AF manual i bought long ago, but it was not 100% clear to me there as well, IIRC i had to wait 15-20 minutes before flipping the switch to OPER, actually i think switched it when the NAV READY indication was lit. IRL there are some delays to apply if you switch from FAST to LONG align, but i haven't tested them.

Yeah, i always used metric units in russian birds, not really used to knots/feets with them. I switched to english pit as it's easier to learn the controls as i don't speak russian, now that i'm familiar with all the switches it will be the same. If i have some time today i will try it. -
Wow, i always knew it was a film being rolled, but i also taught the message were prestamped and rolled back and forward, not that each message was printed on its own!

It's already available, but you need to wait a long time before flipping the PREPARE-OPER switch, it's like 15-20 minutes. IRL i think it was something performed by ground crew when preparating the AC. In DCS, if you spawn the AC hot, IIRC in the mission editor you can set the kind of alignment performed.

@BIGNEWY, track are in the above post, sorry, i forgot to page quote you. @CrazyGman, are you using english or russian cockpit? I'm guessing if this can be a factor? Personally i'm using english pit + metric units. -

Here's the tracks, no wind in all of them, laser always used: Correct settings: bombs on target Target altitude set in DTC, but no baro reference set (standard 760 instead of target QFE 780), bombs fall short Target altitude not set in DTC, but baro reference set to target QFE 780, bombs fall long Target altitude not set int DTC, no baro reference set (standard 760 instead of target QFE 780), bombs fall long (target altitude effect is greater than pressure diff) Thanks. 1 - MiG-29A Bombing - Correct settings.trk 2 - MiG-29A Bombing - No alt set.trk 3 - MiG-29A Bombing - No TGT set.trk 4 - MiG-29A Bombing - No TGT-alt set.trk -

So it is confirmed that for accurate bombing in OPT mode DTC target altitude and barometric altimeter reference should be set? Is this intended? I made some testing with yesterday patch (2.9.21.16362) with the following attached missions (one with default pressure, the other with 780 mm-hg). My findings are that, even by using laser rangefinder, you can only aim accurately if: Target altitude is set correctly in the DTC Baro. alt. reference is set according to target QNH Proabably you can achive the same by leaving target altitude at 0 and baro. alt. reference at target QFE, but havent tested it atm. Of course, tihs is relevant if you fly with non-standard weather or if you aim targets on the cliffs. Bombing on standard weather at targets close to sea level you won't notice anything. In the patch notes there's the entry: Not sure how it should be intended, i was thinking that by using laser rangefinder the target altitude and baro alt reference would not be needed, but doesn't look like the case. @BIGNEWY or @NineLine, can you clarify a bit about it? I can post track files, if needed. Thanks! MiG-29A Bombing Clear.miz MiG-29A Bombing Pressure.miz -
Nothing too useful then, thanks!

As per title, what it is? In the editor there are setting for channels 1-4 inner and outer, but P channel is missing. By switching to P channel i can hear the same morse code of channel 4, but the yellow HSI needle moves to a different direction. Thanks!

Just in case anyone step on this in the future, the issue has been fixed in 2.9.9.2280 update. Thanks!

Hey, thanks! Tested it right now, works great! -
If includes Crimea would be one of the few terrains i would pay for. Completely unrelated to current events, i really miss Crimea from LOMAC days.

Any chance of at least having this confirmed by HB?
