Hm, I had a Silkworm hitting my carrier just the other day. Haven't watched your track yet though. And I set the CSG to weapons hold by mistake, otherwise it wouldn't get through. I'll try again and see what happens... EDIT In your track the silkworm overshoots the target by far. For me it seems it doesn't even track anything. I'm no Silkworm expert and rarely use it but maybe it's the distance and the radar placements? I've made a quick track myself and the silkworm tracks and hits its target just fine. silkworm_test.trk

I just want to give a follow up on this with a few comments and consider this as solved as it is. There are circumstances that prevents me from getting a lock still, but this happens under different lighting situations. So I just can't nail it down to this one situation. But they're happening very rarely now. As the the FLIR changed sometime it got more difficult to find the right brightness and contrast settings to make the targets pop out from its background. I do think that's the main reason for the struggle here and there. I do consider that this might be more like in the real thing the drivers have to deal with. So I'm fine with that.

Very true - the screenies looking good! So what about deciding if the map is worth its money when its done?

I made a mission to double check and what happens is that 2 of 4 helos refusing to take off vertically. The Blackhawk and the Blackshark always take off via rwy. I also tried having only one of each in the mission but the behavior is the same. Though I haven't tried all choppers in the game there seems to be something not right. cauc_helo_vert_t-o_test.trk

I have just seen this aswell during a self made mission. Chinooks & Blackhawks are set to t/o vertically but travel all the way down to the rwy. I checked the option and re-saved the mission. As the mission is very long and the helo action begins later during the mission I didn't save the track though. Cheers

A Marines Cpt. told me some years ago that one of their Abrams was hit around 15 times by an RPG and after silencing that launcher he made it back to base by himself. Can't proof this that's for sure and maybe a bit off-topic but I found that very impressive Edit: We definitely need Javelins in the game!

I just had this with the Hornet. A second slow repair cycle fixed this for me. Maybe this helps you too??

See tracks, it also happens with the ATFLIR. And it occurs only since last update. Will do... thx Hm for whatever reason a second slow repair run did the trick. Thanks - fixed!

Can anyone confirm the flir is out of focus after last update? Happens to both ATFLIR and LITENING. Track and Screenshot attached. caucasus_f-18_flir_out_of_focus_atflir.trk caucasus_f-18_flir_out_of_focus_litening.trk

Heads up! For the next patch there was some vegetation fixes for the Kola map announced in the newsletter from 10th oct.

I had a similar request shortly and that's how I got it done with some help: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/378554-battlefield-illumination/#comment-5690374

Without any evidence at my hands - I'm pretty sure those 'Ball-Video-Low-Passes' are just for the show when they've finished the tour e.g. Further I think there're always pilots how did their last flight with the tour so they get their chance to end with a <profanity> hot break or at least with a low pass. And for the ordnance - guess they lift what they can with their hands as long as they'd not break their backs. But getting help with lifters getting those 2000 pounders on the jet... Just my 2 cents

Not that I know of. The banding is not from DCS per se. It comes when 8bit video is rerendered or encoded. Starting the process with true 10bit recording will be looking much better. But till then... we get over it

Amazing work dude! Just can't wait the day we get DCS in 10bit to get rid of the annoying banding in the skies...

Oh lord, how did I miss that one... Thanks again
