The major changes in the HUD/PCA interacion, which includes Master Modes are as follows: There are Four Master Modes: Ground: Automatically selected when the aircraft is Weight-On-Wheels NAV: Default mode, automatically selected when the aircraft is off the ground. It has three submodes: Normal, Approach (APP) and TD/RD. AA: (Air Attack mode) which can be selected via HOTAS and PCA. It has four submodes: CAN (HOTAS), MAGIC (HOTAS), S530D (PCA) and POL (PCA). AG (Ground Attack mode) which is selected via HOTAS. All AG weapons are selected via PCA but system remains in NAV until AG is enabled via HOTAS. It has five submodes: CAN, BL, BF, EF and RKT. The AA CAN (guns) and MAGIC modes are a special setting. The aircraft is in self-defense mode and the radar is set to ACTIVE mode if it is in SIL. AA guns and MAGIC missiles can only be selected via HOTAS and not by PCA. MAGIC button in the PCA changes MAGIC seeker search patterns, but do not select the missile. Using the Special Modes switch will also place the aircraft in Self-defense mode and activate the radar if it is in SIL. This behavior is completely different as to how it is currently coded, so it requires MAJOR rewrite.

I'm not sure of the question. Is there a file check in MP?

Not yet. We are working on the HUD/PCA interaction and Master Modes selection.

Folks, we made some animation updates to the cockpit switches and unfortunately a bug was included that prevents all spring loaded switches from working. The problem is with the clickabledata.lua file in Mods/aircraft/M-2000C/Cockpit. Since this bug was just discovered, it is too late for us to submit a fix before the release of this update. We made a fixed file available at https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303199/ All you have to do is unzip it and overwrite the one in DCS. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The US Mk-4 Mighty Mouse was initially developed to shoot down Soviet bombers. The use of aerial rockets to shoot down bombers was a German invention in WWII, that like many others came too late to make a dent in the US bomber raids. Still any B-17 hit by a rocket was a loss, unlike the many B-17s that came home after being chewed out by 20 mm guns. Of course the next step after the unguided free flying rocket was the guided one. That is why the prototype AIM-9 Sidewinder used the body of a FFAR (A Zuni rocket).

And that one removed all the guns. Probably to keep weight down.

Second generation jet. It was a huge advance over WWII aircraft, but compared to 3rd gen it was lacking in the armaments department. At this time, the gun was still the main armament. It can only carry 2 K-13A (R-3S) missiles, a small complement of bombs (only one per wing) and rockets. Its main role was that of interceptor, ground attack was a very secondary thing for it.

I think the radar was off. The RP-5 is a simple radar, that is why it uses two antennas, one for searching and one for tracking. What the MiG-19P has is a second gunsight, where a circle will show the position of the tracked target. You have to align the ASP-5 Optical gunsight with the AR-18-8 radar gunsight and shoot when the ASP-5 ring aperture says you are in range.

It is at the tail end of the predicted bullet stream: a 15 second burst. We'll fix that before release.

There was an update to the switches animation, but it looks like with the animation all springloaded switches stopped working. We are reversing the change for those switches.

Yes, that is correct. I am not sure if there was a sound warning to go with it. The RWR panel is actually a switch and two lights, one to indicate that it is working and the other to indicate a locked threat. It is not mounted by default. You have to select it in the ME.

I will say this only once. Stop the discussion about the voice actor and move on. Either you like the video or not and leave it at that. Do not derail the thread.

Ask and you shall receive. :smartass: Honestly, we have many of these images. It is just that these were taken while test flying and in many of them the textures are placeholders.

You will all be pleased to know that the Easy Comms radio problem that was affecting all our mods: M-2000C and AV-8B NA has been solved. Thanks to the folks behind DCS Simple Radio Standalone (SRS) we were able to identify where the problem was and were able to fix it. Now having easy comms enabled do not impair your ability to use the radio panel in the cockpit. This fix will be enabled for the next scheduled update. Just in case you are interested in DCS Simple Radio Standalone, here's the link to the DCS forum where it is explained. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=169387

The S is heavier than the P.

At this time we have: Bulgaria China (PLAAF) Cuba Poland USSR (2 versions) Planned: DDR (East Germany)

If the enemy radar can lock you then it has enough signal strength for it to be detected. TWS is not exactly a radar lock. It makes use of the radar's memory to keep track of a specific target, but the radar still is in search mode. That is why it is not detected and cannot be used for weapons guidance. Modern radars can actually keep a tracking beam on the target thus enabling them to guide weapons while in TWS. But the preferred method for weapons guidance is STT.

Trunk is the development/testing version of DCS. Only available to ED Beta testers and official 3rd party developers.

The MiG-19P RWR, when mounted, it is only rear aspect and only warns when a radar is locked on you. It does not provide any other info. Search radars are not detected.

Hi. You should speak with DCS support. We don't have any version below the current ones available.

Campaigns and missions should not be affected by the updates. Only system tutorials will be affected and not all of them.

All PCN functions/modes will be reviewed.

Yes, it is small stuff like that. They also involve HUD and VTB displays. We will see if it is possible to implement them.

I cannot comment on that. It is a sensitive matter for them as well as anything related to ECM/ECCM.

The radar has a bit of RDY coded in it as well. :smartass: But you are correct, I also meant RDM.
