depends which kind of ammo. If you want to do a precicion strike then GMT isnt the way to go. Thats more a TGP Laser Guided Bomb thing. But if you want to drop some CBUs on a Konvoi through some thick clouds for example, that will work. Speed of the vehicles isnt really a factor if you fly with 350kts. only if you want to be precise. Its also not always an aiming thing, you can use the GMT to find the targets and then use the TGP to aim.

+1 oh yeah, that would be awesome!

Ah thanks! At least its a starting point.

I couldnt find the advice to delete some shaders before launch so that they will be compiled again... Has this changed or do i mix something up with another topic?

good point, forming bad habbits is easy. Getting rid of them is a hard task. I really hope ED will fix this soon, because the only way around this is to change the weather so that you dont experience much of a crosswind (or no crosswind at all). To me flying in more difficult conditions is fun so this is a real bad bug here. pulling stick forward to get more grip.... I do this sometimes on landing when i need to stop faster, never thought of doing this on take off. Its at least worth a try.

Hey, i try to get a few Satelite Photos of Airbases like Ramat David with actual planes on it. Google Maps seems to have none. Just to use them as some sort of template to populate the Airbase more or less realistically for some Missions. Any ideas where to find them?

please dont force Ugra Media, which did an outstanding Job on Release, to start other Theaters before Syria is somewhat finished. That way we only get more, but unfinished stuff into DCS.

try this in crosswind conditions. By the Time you disable the NWS you have to switch from barely touching the Rudder to full Rudder within a Split Second and even then you will drift because you are to slow for the ailerons to have an effect. By the Time they starting to be Effective you probably allready on the Edge of the Runway.... So currently its really a pain in the Ass and far from realistic but it will be fixed as it seems. We only have workarounds until thats done from which differential brakes are a good one.

It doesnt matter if you call the Tower or if they gave you another Runway. You can always use any ILS you want and as long its not a Bug it works. But not every Runway has ILS on every direction, thats what you should read in the F-10 Screen. Did you turned on TACAN (that knob on the same Panel as the NAV Knob)? ILS frequency, Tacan Frequency and Course is correct for your Runway? (ICP - 1) I dont believe the ILS is turned off because its on by default. If so you would read an ILS OFF when you hit ICP-1

Hey, not sure if this F-16 specific or more of an general issue. I want to change the Altimeter Settings from the current Mercury System to Hectopascals. Is it possible to change this somehwere in DCS?

Havent testet it lately but i remember blowne tires at least in the F-16. Cant remember what exactly caused this anymore. Maybe thats changed in the meantime but since you can have blowne tires in every Plane i tried so far i think it will be added or fixed if it currently doesnt work.

I agreee. Having the Option inside the Game would be perfect. In the menatime there is a Mod which makes the Font larger and better to read: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3309263/?sphrase_id=2835257 I use it in VR and its way better.

I hope it would be adressed. Made a mission with a little Sandstorm enviroment tried to land via ILS which was simply impossible. When i used TACAN i was at least able to find a Runway and land.... There are ILS Frequencies in the Map which you can actually enter but they are bugged and lead you somewhere between the Runways and stuff.... Steps to Reproduce are simple. Enter one of the provided Frequencies from the Map and then try to land via ILS.

Anyone know when the next Update is planned? Regardless of Viper Stuff in it or not. To me, Flight Dynamics and Ground Handling is still the most important thing on the list. But i dont want to be the Guy which decides what comes next to this plane (or any other) because you cant do anything right. If Feature A arrives earlier than B, Community cries. If you decide to stay strictly on operational configurations for Timeframe x, Community cries. If you decide to add this or that even if its not in the Timeframe, Community cries. And dont forget that there are always Guys which knows everything better and tell you that this or that should be possible or impossible because of this Academic Data available for free. You know Theory and RL only comes close if RL reacts like the Theory but that happens only in Theory. There are times where it seems like we have more RL F-16 Pilots and Technicians in this Forum than ever where on active Duty since this Bird is in Service....

Not sure if this is so far off from RL.... if you read the Book from Dan Hampton he statet that he fired many Harms but to this day didnt know if even a single one of them actually hit the target. Maybe the truth is somewhere inbetween the guaranteed hit weapon like in those other sim and something like a 50/50 chance.

As it should be. We are the Customers and can tell ED what we want to see and what we would like to have prioritized. But that doesnt mean our voting make sense from a development standpoint. Im pretty sure there are features which dont make much of a difference for the devs if they do it now or later, but others will. As long as they take the voting into account we are all good (and why should they put effort into a survey if they just ignore it?).

Thanky ou ED for the Survey! For me everything Flight Model and Ground Handling relatet has priority. Baisc Handling like completing HOTAS functions or Radar Stuff comes next and Weapons (no matter what) comes last. First that hing hast to fly and land correctly, then i need to find my target and only then i can shoot.

That Message was before the Patch. Havent the time to fly but i will in a few Minutes ;) Then the Question is: If they did something on one of the Topics people complaining about, why you cant read anything about it in the Changelog?

You are not getting tired of telling as that you (or ED) will tell us if there is something to tell and that there are new Members coming up to speed. Common sense says that new Teammembers can slow down a Team first, before they really push the speed so its not just a numbers Game. But after many cosmetic and minor updates we are getting tired of that Story. I dont think you lie or something like that, but from a Customers View without much insight of your Daily Business it feels frozen and not like good progress. So maybe you consider give us some Breadcrumbs of Information even if something is on an earlier state of development. I know the Chance to please everyone is very low but currently there is a clear lack of Info which makes it hard to keep up the patience....

wondering if those new Devs which are dedicated F-16 Devs, as Big Newy said, are showing us that they come up to speed on the next update.... Or at least showing us that they actually work on the F-16. This Time the Results tell another story.

What works for me is using an Axis for Roll trim. You can trim much more sensitive with it. Im using the Grey Handle next to the Throttle (on my Warthog) for that. In the A-10 thats the handle to configure friction if im correct. But even that its not that easy to get the Plane trimmed correctly. Still dont think that should be needed just because you have an TGP mountet.

Fixing the Crosswind Behavior on take off roll and landing and the hyper sensitive NWS would be way more interesting than any weapons. That plane is pretty useless if you can only really use it in nice weather without crosswind.... There is no need in fancy weapons if you cant bring your plane back.... Wags should show us Takeoff and Landings with 15kts crosswind in his next Syria update.... That video would be much shorter

Thanks Beag Newy for taking your honest answers. In my opinion its not the time it takes to develop it. What im missing is some sort of Priority List. I think what you (well maybe not you as a person but ED as a company) has done for the F-18 would be cool? Show as a list of open topics and let us vote and give us the feeling to take part in the process. Then merge the list with feedback from Devs and show it to us with at least a veeeeery rough estimation something like Q1 - 2021 or at least the year. I think patience is not a problem as long as you get the feeling of progress even if there is nothing fancy to show off. my 2 cents.

i would suggest search for the Kneeboard Builder. A little Tool helping you setup Kneeboards even different ones for different planes.

Is there a Option to switch to HPa?
