Hello Suchy73! The photos of the Rafale you posted show a plane with beautiful textures and many more visual details than those of the mod plane. Are you using a mod other than version 003? Which?

Hello everyone! First of all, congratulations for the wonderful Gripen (great plane!). I tried using the mod and it's really fun. The only slight problem I had was using the brakes on landing. After a landing with such a long stroke that it went off the runway, I tried a 10-15 degree AOA landing (as with the Viper). But it wasn't enough! I believe that the W key (which I mapped on my joystik) is not active!! In fact, on the third attempt, I was able to decelerate the plane enough to be able to swerve to take the last junction on the runway, but the plane kept moving despite myself pressing the brakes since the nose gear had touched the landing strip!!! Maybe something needs to be done that I don't know. The aircraft was always in a clean config with half gas. Thanks in advance for your kind attention and to the developers for their fantastic work!

Thank you razo+r! I'll try.

Hello everybody. I would like a tip on how to deal with a pair of J-11s (equipped with ECMs) against my F-18. Head on engagement. I use DCS 2.7.0.5659 Open Beta (the latest update). I fly at 32,000 feet and am armed with 4 AIM 120B, 2 AIM 120 C and two AIM 9X. Speed about 350 kts. I have activated the internal jammer. My radar is in TWS mode. Of course I have master mode AA on. The two J-11s activated their jammers. I have never been able to track either of the two Chinese !!!!! Instead, the Chinese started launching missiles at me from about 80 nm away !!! I must be missing something because it appears that the APG-70 is a rather sophisticated radar, while so it seems to be that of a 1960 Mig-21. Not to mention my jammer. Of course, the two J-11s shot me down thanks to their (apparently) superior jammers, not to mention my radar which looks like it was built from scraps. I tried repeating the mission three times. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO LAUNCH A MISSILE and, in the end, they always destroyed me (before I could use my JHMCS). So, there are two possibilities: I am doing something wrong (most likely) or, with a pair of J-11s equipped with their prodigious jammers, the Chinese can take down a squadron of F-18s.

Wonderful!!! I can't wait for the pre-order!!!

F-4E!!!!

Chuck is simply great! His guides have been - and will always be - a precious asset! Thanks Chuck!!!

Hi Karon, I agree to the last word you wrote and, as for the RIO (WSO or GIB), I admit that I hadn't thought about the difficulty of a BVR without TID! But, as you also wrote, what a dream the Phantom in DCS!!

Hi everyone. Why hasn't the F-4E (the most successful version of the Phantom) been added to DCS World as a standalone module to date? I have often asked myself this question. I bought the Viggen, the F-5, the JF-17, and the Mig-19 as well. Well-respected aircraft, but they don't have the prestige and history of the Phantom which, not only in my opinion, was one of the greatest fighter aircraft in history. DCS World will never be complete without a dedicated Phantom module.

How is it possible for an Igla missile to hit a falling GBU-10? You might reply that this could happen by an incredible stroke of luck. Well, that's what happens regularly in DCS. Seeing is believing.

First of all I want to congratulate you on the excellent work !! A little notation: the Greek F-16C block 52 have a single sensor on the tail terminal (on the right side), while the Turkish, Polish, Moroccan, Egyptian, Iraqi, Chilean, Omani F-16 have the sensor on both sides of the tail terminal. Is it possible to replicate the sensor on both sides of the tail terminal? Also, is a sensorless tail terminal possible to simulate an Israeli F-16C (Barak)?

It seems that the cloud system has been greatly improved and, as far as the ending of the video is concerned, I think ... it's not April 1st!!!!

This is exactly what you need to do with the Viper for a perfect landing. Regardless of landing weight.

Wonderful work!! Great "REFLECTED"!!

I have to admit my superficiality. It would have been enough to read the release notes to understand the problem I had. Anyway, I removed the F-35 mod and everything went perfectly. Thanks for your kind attention.

Hi! I bought the F-14 Heatblur on 08-10-2018 (directly from Heatblur). I just updated 2.5.6.57949 Open Beta. Wanting to try the F-14 A, with the mission editor I create a simple mission (only the F-14A aircraft already in flight). I notice that in the box preview of the plane, F-14A it's exactly like the first F-14A (the non-Heatblur one!!). In fact, when I try to start the mission, the game crashes. The F-14B works perfectly, even if - after the update - I had to re-binding controls. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

A huge thank you Chuck!!!!

Excellent explanation Fri13! Thank you. Now I understand why it is correct for the GBU-54 to turn on the laser in the last 15 seconds before impact.

I've done some practice missions with the GBU-54. Indeed, it is essential to activate the laser about 15 seconds after impact. If you do that, the bomb works perfectly as an LGB.

Indeed, I had some problems with the GBU-54 being used as an LGB. It happens to me that the first release is inevitably lost, even if the laser is activated in a time between 20 and 15 seconds from impact. However, the releases following the first work perfectly. Very strange. However, I prefer to use the GBU-12 which is very reliable.

Hello! I will try to summarize the procedure for using an LGB with the A-10C II. This is a much simpler procedure to perform than to illustrate!!! For this, I will limit myself to the basic steps, those necessary to get to the KABOOM! First, if the mission starts from the ground, it's necessary to verify that the laser code of the LGB (by default "1688") is identical to the one stored on the TGP. Generally, this alignment is by default, but if you want to set different codes, I recommend reading Chuck's wonderful guide on the A-10C (the "I", the change of codes happens the same way). We turn on the TPOD so it can have plenty of time to boot. When we are in flight (altitude at least 20,000 feet and speed at most 200 knots) and we approach the target area (which we have been careful to make a waypoint), we see the TAD screen (left) and make it SOI (coolie left long). We use DMS AFT / FWD to cycle the range and set the range to display the waypoint on the TAD. We use the HOTAS SLEW directional controls to move the TAD cursor over the waypoint, which is the target area. Let's make this point SPI (TMS FWD LONG). The wedding cake symbol appears on the TAD screen at the target waypoint and on the HUD you can see a small square with dashed lines pointing to the direction of the waypoint. Let's set the TAD range to 20. This phase is important to search for the target in the waypoint area. If we haven't already done so: Master Arm ON, Laser ON, TGP ON and GUN PAC ON (if we want to do some healthy BRRRRRTTT). On the TAD screen, as soon as we see the target waypoint appear at the top, on the right screen we select the TPOD and push the AG button. The video appears in CCD mode (default). We push the CNTL button and select LATCH ON and then RTN. With LATCH ON we make the laser modal (push the laser button to activate it and push it again to deactivate it). Let's make the TGP SOI (coolie right long) and start the research and tracking phase. Now the TAD at range 20 is useful. On the TAD the TGP sensor is represented by a small diamond. Then, using the HOTAS SLEW directional commands, I see this symbol move across the TAD. I just have to get this symbol right on the wedding cake and I'll see the target area on the TGP screen. So I start the search for the target using HOTAS SLEW, china hat fwd short (cycle FOV), DMS FWD / AFT (zoom in / out). To locate the target, it may be useful to cycle through the various video modes: Boat Switch FWD (FLIR BHOT), Boat Switch AFT (FLIR WHOT), Boat Switch Center (CCD). When I find the target, I have to track it. With the TGP sensor on target, I push TMS FWD SHORT and cycle between Target Area (AT) for fixed targets and Point Target (PT) for targets that can move. We assume that the target is a tank, so it must be tracked with PT (on the TPOD a small square appears on the tank and follows it). Now let's go to the screen on the left and select DSMS. Among the various stations, there will be some with LGB. We assume there are 2 GBU-12s, one at station 4 and one at station 8. Push the corresponding buttons on the sides of the left MFD to select stations 4 and 8 (the station symbols on the DSMS turn green). I omit to illustrate all the features of the weapon profiles (this post would become an encyclopedia). With the MASTER MODE CONTROL button, I cycle the various release modes and select CCRP. At the center of the HUD appears "CCRP" and its symbology: the double circle (CCRP PIPPER) and the two lines. One line (the one starting from the top of the CCRP PIPPER) is the Projected Bomb Release Line (PBRL), the other perpendicular to the designated target is the Azimuth Steering Line (ASL). At this point the situation is as follows: left screen DSMS, right screen TGP rendered SOI with the target tracked PT. Now it’s FUNDAMENTAL to make the TGP as SPI, that is TMS FWD LONG!!! The SPI is indicated on the HUD at the bottom left and "TGP" should appear. You fly level and maneuver the jet to align the PBRL with the ASL. At about 6-8 seconds from the release time (you see this release countdown on the center left of the HUD, near the "L" which indicates laser activation), a small circle (with the same countdown in the middle) is visible and he falls from top to bottom along the ASL. As soon as you see this small circle fall, press and hold the release button until the bomb automatically detaches (release can be verified by viewing the DSMS screen). In the central part to the extreme left of the HUD, next to the "L", you see the impact countdown. At a time between 20 and 15 seconds from impact, you must activate the laser (push the NWS button). The "L" on the HUD flashes and after 15-20 seconds ... KABOOM!!! IMPORTANT: after impact, turn off the laser immediately (push NWS again) otherwise the sensor will burn and goodbye. With the TPOD aimed at the target area, other targets (other tanks) can be searched. It will no longer be necessary to make the TGP as an SPI (it remains that way), just trace (as a PT) the next targets, drop the bombs (until the selected stations have bombs), activate the laser until impact and remember to deactivate it. I wish many KABOOMs to everyone.
