The weights are all defined in the main lua file in your game folder. Something like Dcs/Mods/aircraft/F-4E/Entry/F-4E.lua and the Weapons.lua right next to it. You can probably CTRL+F "weigth" or "drag" your way through it [emoji106] Any weapon not defined in those files is DCS-built-in and defined by ED.

We fixed some Shrike tone/indication stuff for the next patch, cheers.

The menu can be used from both seats. Id suggest to check your binds, perhaps it got deleted or there is a clash. The default is A.

Has this been done, I can't see it pinned in this forum? Yes, details in the manual section DCS Mission Editor: https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/dcs/mission_editor.html#setcommands We are on it[emoji106]

The current version has a bug causing Jester to ask it twice in certain situations. The dialog feature itself supports up to three simultaneous questions (QWE), hence you see two circles.

Yup, manual section DCS > Mission Editor: https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/dcs/mission_editor.html#flight-plan-preparation

When IC fails despite having no mods then that smells like antivirus software having deleted some files or other disk corruption shenanigans. With corrupt files crashes are about to happen sooner or later. Perhaps that is a direction you could tackle this issue from.

If you used the Jester Wheel or Bombing Table your track will unfortunately not work (which you can see yourself by replaying it). Did you land and takeoff for a second flight? In this case you are running into a bug where Jester will execute the given action twice. This bug has been fixed for the next update.

(When you provide a track, make sure to not use Jester Wheel for the startup but keybinds only - or provide a video, that would likely be useful as well )

The manual states the actual alignment time, this does not include the warmup phase. The gyro fluid needs to be heated to around 160-180°C and that can take several minutes depending on outside conditions. Also, the figures in the manual are just estimations. Alignment takes as long as it takes, there is no "timer" running.

He does that already for some modes. For Direct/DT its a bit more tricky since he has trouble knowing when you start the attack. But it will be added eventually. @Dominik96

Glad you were able to figure it out [emoji106]

Yeah exactly. Its to enable shooting the missile without any lock. It will then fly forward and look for the first thing that matches the selected aspect setting. In some situations where obtaining a solid lock is almost impossible, it can be the only option to employ this weapon.

Can't promise a date but they will come back once the gremlins are resolved :)

Fixed for the next update, thanks

Thats only necessary if you want to do no-lock "flood" shots. Its done in the Jester Wheel, section Boresight. Details in the manual: https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/jester/combat/radar.html#dogfight

Correct, the F-4E (pre DMAS) has no audible low-altitude warning, only a light. The DMAS upgrade adds a Voice-Warning system which includes a low-altitude alarm.

The CAGE/CAA mode is tricky to use and can easily lock onto clutter or side-lobes if you use it in certain situations. You always have to verify lock quality before shooting, make sure you actually locked onto the real target. Check all indications on the screen for plausability. If you have a bad lock, double tap the NWS button to exit and re-enter CAGE/CAA, upon which it makes a new lock-attempt. For shooting the missile the same rules apply to normal locks. That is, you have to wait the 2-4 seconds for the missile to obtain the tracking solution before firing.

Might be a good idea for a feature. Some form of "generate flightplan from map markers". Kinda requires being able to filter map markers for owner/author though, which is something we have to figure out for another feature first (showing only own Map Markers instead of all).

Thanks for the replay. We will see if it can provide insights. Nasty issue :)

Likely because you used the Jester Wheel or Bombing Table at some point during the recording, which is not captured in tracks. You would have to reproduce the issue without the UI (or only using keybinds instead of mouse/head movement).

The GBU-8 is broken in the current DCS version. The issue has been fixed internally already and can hopefully soon be pushed, cheers.

I suspect u havent created a flightplan with these markers yet. You need to go into the Jester Navigation Menu and put together a flightplan piece by piece. The map marker names are only relevant for the default flightplan imported via the Mission Editor.

Thanks, this is a known issue since around a month. Cheers

Could you send a track file? Haven't heard of that yet, perhaps you bound the wrong bind. Can you try mouseclicking, does it work then? Do you mean the switch on the left wall or are you using the handle on the right instead? Can you share some screenshots or elaborate what you do exactly?
