I believe this poll was take before TWS got broke. So I change my vote and cry out on my knees hands ion the air.. Please please please fix the 120C and TWS bug on the hornet before giving us anything else.

Markpoints will be your best friend!

That is the part that bothers me so much about this. If there is some sort of bug where the elevation (or possibly even vector data!) gets called wrong in normal operation but is exact during manual entering, it should affect every single module in game. I've never heard anything like this and yet if you watch his replays, the discrepancy is very obvious. It goes from missing targets to getting pinpoint LGB precision just by manually entering HOT even if you are actually entering the EXACT same elevation!!!! I found another thread from 2014 and still cannot believe (or probably forgot if I ever did know this) its been this long since it's been around. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=118975 So yes manually entering HOT will be done each and every time, even if its the exact same elevation as found from DTS. Doesn't make sense, definitely a bug. Also can someone confirm this exhibits the same issue on the PG map? If it does then it's a bug with the DTS logic, if not then its possible one of the Caucasus map layers (vector or raster) is actually off.

I am sorry to have doubted you!! There is something wrong for sure. I don't think TGP should be feeding any elevation data as it's really only getting it relayed from DT as well, and is just displaying it. The fact that manual entry of the exact same elevation changes the accuracy does not smell right. I'll be playing with this over the next few days for sure.

That's a real interesting video! Never really seen anything like it before. The fact you used active pause to demonstrate makes the differences obvious. I'll be playing around with it later tonight, cause right now I do not have an answer. Let's see if anyone else can chime in and give their opinion.

I have never used Steer point elevation, I've always ever used DTS so I believe SP would only be used when in an area where DTS elevation is unknown but you get a precise elevation from an external source (JTAC or other). Also to be more precise it uses EGI for elevation (but that's a different topic) but as long as you see DTS on HUD, you are good to go. I'll try SP elevation later tonight just to see what is happening. Yes that will always happen and intended to work this way. Yeah I think I was a bit unclear. It is its own sensor but relies on others (it needs data from multiple sensors to generate the impact point but not SPI MP or SP) when using DTS. All sensors work independently to a certain extant, but also rely on each other and the data cartridge(not modeled) as the Data gets passed through several onbord systems to be distributed to each system of relevance. I've never actually seen the actual diagram ( and I do not think it can be posted in these forums), but it kind of goes like this: Data cartridge to DTS to CDU to CICU.

There seems to be a bug on the replay as I cannot hear the moment the bomb is released. So try flying higher (you are actually dropping from 1350 AGL) and a use a steeper dive angle. You can also experiment with 3/9 and 5mil CR which can be more precise depending on conditions. CCIP is its own sensor and does not rely on any other reference point (MarkPoint, SPI or Steerpoint) to calculate the impact point. (You should always be using DTS elevation) You can fly 1000 different flights and get 950 different impact points because in general CCIP is not pinpoint accurate but all things equal (speed dive, angle, wind, bearing of target) each pass should be quite close.

I've never seen or heard of this problem before. What SOI are you using to create the SPI? So if you are using the TGP to create the SPI you are saying it will be at the same elevation as the SteerPoint? If so it sounds to me your HUD is SOI. If using TGP, the SPI should be at GL as the TGP cannot create SPI in the air (IIRC) Do you have a track so we can see what's going on? As for your second post A10Yoda is correct CCIP does not need a SPI. CCIP gets the elevation data from DTS (which is also how SPI gets some of its elevation from as well)

You are referring to a gamepad that the manufacturer doesn't even provide drivers.

So leave it unplugged or contact the manufacturer to get an actual real driver for the hardware. Using generic drivers will work 99% of the time, but when hotplugging in/out the rules get thrown out the window. Not a DCS bug.

But again Why are you unplugging it? The gamepad is a generic one so it probably doesn't have great drivers.

What exactly are you unplugging during your flight????? And next question WHY are you unplugging a hardware controller during a flight and expect the sim to work properely?

From two weeks ago: I cannot believe anyone who's been around DCS since 2008 is only NOW questioning why new modules being released on OB before stable. Also there was a bright red indication on the SC product page with the following: Requires DCS World Open Beta version 2.5.6 or above!

Plus new OB has great FPS increase even mp. But yeah its in the product description only available on OB

At this time of year the sunsets around 6:17 in the PG area. What day month do you have set to?

Getting solid 60 fps on mp now! GREAT improvement! Liking the SC as well, can't wait for it to be complete!

Agreed. But right now the TWS bug is only an F18 bug. SD10 and Phoenix need complete rework, but since they come from 3rd party, I'm skeptical about when that could happen. Besides the game breaking bugs, the F18 needs to get 120 fixed. I'd settle for that and wait another month to get any upgrades else for it.

Forget all that. Just get the AIM120 back on track. right now its a complete mess on MP. fix ONE thing before moving to another.

So tell Deka to make the plane physics less realistic?? Most FC3 planes don't sink, but then again don't have the same physics. You posted the same thing about a different plane a while ago. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=200033&highlight=grass It wasn't a bug then and is not a bug now.

To be honest, ANYONE who flies the A10C regularly would love these upgrades. I can't imagine anyone complaining about what has been hinted (JHMCS really?????), but like all forums, we can see that some people will!

Take your time, you must have been taxiing way way over limit to end up off the tarmac into the ground. Just as FYI there is no "hard desert-rock floor". you are referring to the PG map, for which you will sink each and every time when fully loaded. Definitely not a bug!

If HUD is SOI you only need to press China Hat forward once to make Mav SOI. Why do you say x2?? Again you can do whatever feels better but I find switching between SOI takes more time and a little trickier than just keeping Mav SOI and cycling through marks.

When was the actual release date of SC ever made?

track? I don't seem to have an issue with D/G tracking

I wouldn't do it the way you do, but in the end, it seems like you have a good grasp of the system, so always go with what is more comfortable!
