Was your buddy using ECM? The AIM-7 is Homeon Jam (HOJ) capable, meaning it can guide onto active jammers on its own. So this screenshot in itself doesn't necessarily show a bug.

JDAMs don't rely on GPS. They can be aided by GPS, yes, but they don't require GPS as they are inertially guided munitions. So using JDAMs without GPS shouldn't be a problem, as long as you keep your aircraft's nav system updated.

I'm glad you were able to sort this out! I'm also happy to see simmers transitioning from MSFS to DCS and since I'm not playing civilian flight sims at all, I'm really curious how you experience this transition? Is the depth of weapon, navigation and other aircraft systems overwhelming or is the difference to MSFS not that big?

These are jamming strobes, indicating that there is an active jammer in that direction. And yes, you can turn these jamming strobes off, using the JAM STROBE filter button on the display buttons panel below the TID (8): https://www.heatblur.se/F-14Manual/cockpit.html#tactical-information-display-tid

I'm a bit surprised by this decision, as Sharm el-Sheikh is probably the most famous location on the Sinai peninsula, which this map is about. And it's not just important because it's a large vacation ressort nowadays, but also because of it's military past (and present) :

Dann kann man Überhitzung wohl auch ausschließen (trotz der momentan sehr sommerlichen Temperaturen). In dem Fall würde ich dann auch auf ein Speicherproblem tippen, vermutlich ein defekter RAM-Riegel. Dass das nur bei DCS ein Problem ist, kann durchaus sein, denn so RAM-hungrig wie DCS ist sonst kaum ein Spiel. Von daher ist es durchaus möglich, dass nur DCS den defekten Speicherberreich addressiert. Eventuell auch möglich ist es (wenn auch weniger warscheinlich), dass die HDD/SDD einen Schaden hat und dort ein Speichersektor defekt ist, der von DCS verwendet wird.

Da scheint in der Tat wohl etwas mit der Hardware nicht zu passen. Mal geprüft wie die Temperaturen (GPU, CPU) ausschauen?

Now this is something I can very well relate to and is perfectly reasonable What's not reasonable is, to make up all kind of wild assumptions and then, based on these assumptions, wanting to punish a third party dev studio (OnReTech), that has nothing to do with all of this.

Well if you don't like the videos then maybe don't watch them? Other people are happy about having new footage to watch while waiting for release.

I've never had that happen to me and I've never edited those config files.

Sure, but why edit config files if you can just select it in the game menu?

This might be a binding issue, possibly a duplicated binding. I recommend to check your control assignments and make sure that the stick axis are not bound to some other axis, switches or even devices as well and thus causing input conflicts. If that's not the issue, then you might have to post a track replay of your flight here, so we can take a look at what's happening there. To do that, just make a short flight where you reproduce your issue and on the debriefing screen you can save the track file ("Save Replay" button).

Yeah, tablets didn't exist during the Falkland war

@BIGNEWY I don't know who added the "improper alignment" tag, but as @razo+r has said: this is not due to improper alignment, but is actually a long standing bug with the Hornet's INS. If GPS is not available the INS will drift (which is correct) and will mess up the CCIP line, even when using AGR (which is a bug). It's well documented in the following thread (also reported by CBTs) :

You don't need any mods for this. There are two settings that you need to set to English in the DCS options. One is among the general DCS settings and the other is located in the module specific special options. Set them both to English and you should be good.

People get upset if devs remain silent and don't show anything of their module in advance, so they start declaring a project as dead. People also get upset if devs show off their stuff without releasing the product ASAP, assuming it must be ready for release if there are videos of it. Whatever the devs do, for some people it's always wrong. Damned if you do, damned if you don't

Can confirm. The red and blue bullseyes are not usable due to this.

I agree, a historic variant of the Sinai map would be awesome! The fact that you didn't get the module you expected to buy is your own fault though, as there was more than enough information on the product out there showing and explaining that this is a modern map.

SAM sites ja, aber soweit ich weiß keine historischen, sondern aktuelle.

Wie sieht denn deine Hardware aus?

Auch wenn es ein sehr cooles Video ist hat es aber so gar nix mit der Bundeswehr zu tun...

Awesome, thanks for the update and especially for the dev update on TacView2. I'm really looking forward to that!

Nothing dirty about it. It's an offer to pre-order a product that doesn't have a release date yet. That's really not uncommon in the gaming industry and there is nothing deceiving about it. It's up to the customer if he/she wants to make that purchase already or wait till more infos become available. It would be dirty if there would have been a release date and the product would not be released by then, but that's not the case here.

Well, why did you pre-purchase the F-15E without any release date provided? Sorry, but that's totally on you. I learned long ago, that I better wait with pre-ordering to the last moment, when I have the highest possible certainty about a product (including a release date) and can still get the pre-order bonus. That applies to all games (and other products), not just DCS. No one forced you to pre-order at the moment pre-ordering became available. That was your own decision.

That's exactly how it is. Fix taking was very important during the Cold War era, when there was no GPS. Flight planning for strike missions always included IP waypoints (preceeding the target point) on easily recognizable terrain features, to fix the nav system prior to attack to ensure precise weapon delivery. Since the introduction of GPS this is no longer necessary. It's still being trained from time to time though, as in a peer to peer conflict, GPS might not be available or unreliable due to jamming/spoofing or GPS satelites getting shot down.
