Whenever I launch illumination bombs, the bombs eventually fall slower (so the aerodynamic effect of the parachute is there) but the parachute itself is not visible. The flare/canister is.

I'll wait until Friday and see if the issues are still there... apparently the forum formatting is still being processed. Fixed in latest revision.

If you guys at Aerges need help with documentation, feel free to let me know.

Just performed an emergency update for the Harrier targeting pod. The update is merely a stopgap measure until the TGP procedures and LITENING section is completely revisited at a (much later) date.

That's what I'm currently working on.

The F-16C Viper guide update is now available! See first post. Changelog: (19/10/2020) Updated targeting pod section with new modes and functions (Snowplow, Cursor Zero, Air-to-Air mode, etc.) Revised existing weapon procedures using the targeting pod Added Maverick air-to-ground missile weapon tutorials Added HARM anti-radiation missile weapon tutorial (HAS mode) Fixed typos and mistakes across the whole document

The latest P-47 guide from page 157 to 162 has the new procedures for each variant.

The P-47D Thunderbolt guide update is now available! See first post. Changelog: (09/10/2020) Added P-47D30 Early and P-47D-40 variants (with their specific equipment) Added external tank operation tutorials Updated bomb tutorials Added rocket employment tutorial Added Mk VIII gunsight

Hi, In the DCS F-16 manual, two paragraphs mention that for Automatic Handoff, using "TMS right will hand off the lock to the AGM-65 if the target contrast and size meets criteria of missile lock.". However, the current DCS Open Beta logic currently has the Auto Handoff function associated with the TMS FWD SHORT (which is also what is mentioned in the youtube Maverick tutorial by Matt Wagner). So... which is it? Is automatic handoff performed with TMS FWD or TMS RIGHT?

Welcome to the nut house!

PM's good.

Sure, fixing typos can only benefit everyone!

Added markpoints for the Hornet guide. See first post.

Hi all, I was wondering what the "Laser Designator ON/OFF" binding (RCTRL+O) was in the cockpit, practically. This binding is required for manual lasing. There doesn't seem to be any switch or button on the HOTAS or cockpit referring to a laser designator... I've seen this question asked many times, but no clear was given. I'd like to ask the Deka crew: what exactly this refers to in the cockpit? Thanks in advance, Chuck

If you come back from a mission where you launched both your HARMs, land, then re-arm... the new (re-armed) HARMs are also already warmed-up... you should have to re-do the warm-up process for new missiles.

Hi folks! Last January, Eagle Dynamics dubbed 2020 to be the "Year of the Hornet". With a brand new air-to-ground radar, SLAM cruise missile and an updated LITENING II targeting pod, many sections of my Hornet guide became obsolete. Therefore, I eventually had to begin the very long and complex process of going back through everything and planning what had to be changed and what had to be added. A few hundred gallons of coffee later, there we are. We all know other updates will eventually come, but let's not think about it too hard for now. The F/A-18C Hornet guide update is now available! See first post. Changelog: (22/09/2020) Start-Up procedure updated for INS update Carrier takeoff procedure updated for Supercarrier Radar acquisition modes clarified ACM radar mods clarified JHMCS operation clarified Targeting Pod updated Added AIr-to-Ground Radar MAP & Expanded modes Weapon section re-structured Updated JSOW tutorials Updated JDAM tutorials Updated GBU-12 tutorial Fuel Dump clarifications Master Modes clarifications Engine section expanded Fuel section expanded AGM-84E SLAM tutorials added MK20 Rockeye tutorial added AGM-65 IR Maverick tutorial with tgp added AGM-65E Laser Maverick tutorial updated HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator) section expanded RWR symbology clarified (N, I, A, U, F) Landing tips added (including HUD declutter and velocity vector caging) Overall, a lot of new stuff crammed in there... the page count went from 350 to 530+ pages. Once again, if you guys still have any suggestions, recommendations or corrections, please let me know.

I'll try to keep that in mind for future guides.
