  1. since the crash happened in missile seeker, so i don't know how to fix it from our side but hopefully this could help others as well
  2. definitely. and that's what i said (credit to the original designer/author)
  3. please try this attached lua put it under DCS Install\Mods\aircraft\JF-17\Cockpit\Scripts\MFCD\Indicator\ and replace existing one FULL_BASE.lua
  4. i only have winwing f-16 hotas earliest version, i guess it's not orion 2.
  5. what is the kneeboard builder? maybe it's better to contact the author to fix issue
  6. checked with our artist, and got below answers 1. there will be more than 10 new liveries added in the following 2 or 3 updates. Most of them are fictional 2. To better manage the livery and control the quality, our artist would like alternative solution: community players submit their own design pictures, and our artist choose good design and make the livery (credit still to original designer) 3. once all liveries (in 1) added to DCS, template will be released together 4. uvw no change, and will not have big change in future. So existing customized liv should still work 5. texture updates include: improved skin and metal texture, fixed some bugs
  7. we don't have orion2
  8. then, it needs ED's help to fix. because it crashed in missile seeker code
  9. TBH, i don't know. forum account ban is not as realistic as jail
  10. need more test to confirm, because not all hit by 120 caused crash
  11. do you mean teamkill? and crash only team killed by 120c? did it happen on any MP server? what about you never launch sd10 after take-off, and just wait to be killed by friend 120c? and see if crash (i know this could be tedious)
  12. when you were hit, were your also guiding sd10 attacking target?
  13. so for each crash, it's always with sd10 launch/during guidance?
  14. I know nothing more than this result
  15. it's aa missile seeker radar
  16. can you please upload the crash log? if still like previously reported, it's something related to wRadarSensorBase, then it's the aim120c's seeker radar
  17. hmmm, so crash only being killed by team 120C?
  18. unfortunately no more chance at this moment
  19. more to simplify how it coop with RWR for auto defense. no, you need to operate it on the right console.
  20. Q: What is Peace Pearl Program? A: In brief, during the 1980s China was unable to develop advanced air-to-air radar or semi-active radar missiles at that time, thus turned to UK, France, Israel and the United States to upgrade the J-8II in terms of fire control and weapons, and eventually selected the U.S. AN/APG-66(V) radar for the modification. In the agreement between the U.S. and China, the U.S. should provide 55 sets of production modifications (50 kits and 5 backup) and 4 prototype sets. The total estimated cost of the contract was $501,754,733, and the contract was finally signed with the U.S. on October 30, 1986. China called it "Project 82", while the U.S. called it the "Peace Pearl Program". Q: How many J-8PP has been produced? A: In 1987, the Chinese technical support team arrived in the America. The following year, the design work was completed in cooperation with Grumman. On January 20, 1989, China shipped two J-8II, a static test nose and supporting equipment and technical documentation to America. In 1990, the modification of the two J-8II was completed and China provided a revised English flight manual as requested by the U.S. test pilot, and the aircraft was in complete condition. The avionics test and EMC test were completed, and the start-up and test-run was done at Grumman Bethpage Airport. In the same year, the contract was terminated by China. The next year, the U.S. handed over two prototypes and modification packages to China. The two aircraft now reside in Beijing and Shenyang, but the full-size nose now in Kansas, USA. null One of the two in Beijing. Note the extra cooling inlets on fuselage for upgraded avionic devices The other one in Shenyang Q: What kind of info is shown on HUD/HDD? How many HDDs? A: HUD and HDD should be familiar to everyone. The HUD of J-8PP adopts the F-16A/B style, and a combined glass is added to increase the instantaneous field of view. The HDD is the F-16C/D style, which is located on the right side of the front panel. The HDD is used to monitor system functions, select weapons and modes. HUD Display HDD Menu Q: Is RWR domestic or American? Is it easy to use? A: It's domestic, and similar to SPO-10. It can only be used to distinguish the signal type (search/lock), rough direction, whether the irradiation is approaching or not. Relatively primitive. Q: The J-8II is so similar to the SU-15, is there any connection between the two? A: The J-8, the predecessor of J-8II, was actually designed by China after imitating MiG-21. The Soviet Union did not provide China with any technical information on SU-15. Part of the technology of J-8II came from MiG-23 and F-4, and its appearance may be similar to the convergent evolution caused by the relatively close ecological niche. Q: Are there any flight characteristics or defects of the J-8II, and are there any changes in the flight characteristics of the J-8PP? A: The most characteristic feature of J-8II is that it can easily reach the maximum IAS speed and maximum Mach number in level flight (unlike some third-generation aircraft that need to dive). The delta wing also brings a very good stall characteristic, the minimum speed for maneuvering is lower than 200km/h, and the angle of attack can be greater than 30°. The J-8II has speed stability in most situations, but when it decelerates with g-load in supersonic, the aircraft has a slight nose-up characteristic. Compared with J-8II, J-8PP only has changes in the center of gravity and weight, and some cooling inlets on fuselage have been added. It will not lead to much change to the flight characteristics. Q: Can you introduce more about the flight control system? A: The flight control of J-8PP has three-axis automatic stability augmentation system; pitch, roll and course holding; automatic leveling; low altitude automatic pull-up; pitch/bank automatic trimming functions. Q: Is the cockpit in Chinese? A: Except those upgraded avionic devices and corresponding panels, most are in Chinese. J-8PP uses metric unit. We will provide EN and CN localization for hint of clickable switches. Q: Will it provide visual/performance cockpit for selection like DCS: JF-17? A: Yes. Q: Can players perform flights beyond the safety margin specified in the manual, such as reproducing the overspeed phenomenon during the J-8II test? A: Although the manual stipulates the maximum Mach number 2.2, due to the better thrust characteristics of the turbojet engine at a large Mach number, it is easy to overspeed. The right envelope of the aircraft is mainly limited by aerodynamic stability and aerodynamic heating. You will experience uncontrollable side-slip phenomenon after exceeding M2.35. Q: What weapons can J-8PP carry? A: Air-to-air weapons include PL-5, PL-8, Aspide/PL-11; Air-to-ground weapons include 250Kg GP bomb, 57mm/90mm rockets. Check below figure for details Q: DCS: J-8II module price? A: Not as expensive as DCS: JF-17. Q: How's the documentation? Especially for such an aircraft with only two produced (modified). A: We cannot make anything out of nothing. Q: Does J-8PP have HOTAS? A: The weapon control system of J-8PP is simplified AN/AWG-27. Therefore, the throttle was also modified to F-15 style. Q: What's the difference between APG-66(V)-PRC-F8 and APG-66(V)? A: The main detection performance remains the same. Since it's to upgrade J-8II air-to-air capability, most AG modes (SEA1, SEA2, BCN) were removed (Money was definitely one of many reasons). Q: What about datalink? A: There's one similar to Lazur-M GCI system. But we will not model it in game. The IFF and countermeasure systems of J-8PP will be simplified in game. =================================== If you have any question that was not covered by Q&A, please leave a comment and I will try my best to answer. Our whole team thank you for your support!
  21. there are several ways, 1. is convert edm to max file 2. capture the model via DX api
  22. if you notice again, better to give detailed steps if no trk
