So in the end there are already enough options to make everyone happy if I understood correctly?

I guess the Argentinians realized that too at the very last moment and thus canceled the invasion just moments after it started On a more serious note: I can imagine they counted a lot on air superiority and air support to make these movements possible

Well, that's part of accurately simulating an aircraft, which not just includes simulating the good parts, but also the bad parts as well. I find the lack of high AOA maneuverability of the Viper also quite annoying, but it's just how the aircraft is. I would never come up with the idea of wanting to have a high AOA maneuverability mode getting implemented for the DCS Viper, even if it would be entirely optional. It's just not a feature of the Viper IRL and thus shouldn't be in DCS, just like magic Mav boresighting isn't.

Hmm, bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich hier etwas missverstehe, aber hast du es auch mal auf der leichtesten Stufe probiert? Das es auf der schwersten Stufe schwergängig ist sollte doch eigentlich nicht überraschen

Da können wir anhand dieser recht dürftigen Beschreibung auch nur wild raten. Da müsstest du uns schon mal genau sagen was du alles machst, bzw. noch besser uns ein kurzes Track Replay von deinem Startup zur Verfügung stellen.

Hot starting should provide you with a fully completed startup, but as Mav boresighting is something that should be done after takeoff, I wasn't sure if this is included in a hotstart. Looks like there is the answer: That would make sense, as it's something that should be done when airborne (which is also why I don't understand the argument that it prolongs the startup and takes away lifetime).

I hope this also gets implemented to the other modules if it turns out, that that exists on them as well IRL.

Absolut, da war ED in der Tat etwas schlampig.

I'm using this one, which can either be used with a power cable attached or wireless with the attached batterie: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-TrackClip-Reflector（Match-TrackNP-Tracking/dp/B08HS7PNGK/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=trackir+5&qid=1693561584&sr=8-5

Von MUSS habe ich doch gar nichts geschrieben? Denn wie du richtig sagst MUSS man ihn nicht aus lassen, nur warum SOLLTE man ihn an machen wenn er keine Funktion hat? Daher SOLLTE man ihn aus lassen, MUSS es aber nicht (Schalter anzumachen die man nicht braucht oder die gar keine Funktion haben ist keine gute Angewohnheit).

I have to agree with the others in regards to the version numbering. It's quite odd and confusing. Apart from that your work on the manual is awesome!

A new trackclip won't help if the camera is picking up background light! You need to fix that first, by either dimming your room (closing the curtains) or lowering the IR-threshold setting of TrackIR.

It's not mandatory in the F-16 either. You can use Mavericks just fine without boresighting them in the Viper. It's just that they will be slightly offset from the TGP, but otherwise they will work just fine. Pre-alignment (= Stored Heading Alignment) is something that can be done IRL. Boresighting Mavs not so much, so it wouldn't make sense to add such an option. If you want a fully prepared jet, there is hot start for that. I also don't understand the life time argument, as Maverick boresighting is something that's not part of the startup anyways, but something that should be done when airborne already (e.g. on the ingress to the AO).

Der DL-Schalter sollte aus bleiben, denn der hat in unserer F-16-Variante keine Funktion mehr (der war in älteren Varianten für den IDM-DL zuständig der dann später durch Link-16/MIDS abgelöst wurde). Wenn du uns ein kurzes Track Replay von deinem manuellen Startup zur Verfügung stellst sollte sich das schnell klären lassen

Thank you for reporting back that you got it sorted out and how you did it! It might helps others in the future

Besser als ein Video wäre ein kurzes Track File.

I can understand that, but imho in MP the server hoster/admin should have the option to decide what kind of realism level he wants to enforce on his server, so that he can ensure fair gameplay. In SP there is of course no issue with having the player decide what kind of INS realism setting he wants to use.

Then that's no desync as both crewmembers see the same. There's something else wrong then. Without a track file it's near impossible to fgure out what though, but I guess it's probably just some wrong radar setting.

Hmm, I guess you do indeed need to do the longer alignments if you have such high demands for accuracy. For me the accelerated alignment is generaly more than enough to be combat ready.

Nope, but shouldn't drifts be noticeable with normal PVU-800 WPs as well?

But the pilot does?

I use it all the time. Haven't experienced any issues with it since the initial issues after the release of BS3 got fixed

There are two options, one applies to cold starts as well and determines how the INS behaves. You only need to do a 3 min accelerated alignment in order for a combat rdy INS, even with the fully realistic setting.

Hmm, I have looked into the mission, but wasn't able to reproduce your issue. The hort starting Ka-50 always spawns with the B-13L rocket pod for me

The following is not my work, but should be pretty accurate: I hope this helps. If you have more specifc questions just ask away. I've digged quite deep into the Falkland Conflict and have quite a bunch of hard copy sources for it as well as contacts to ask around
