  1. After having used the DCS A10C (and a bunch of others) for many years, i am convinced the problem seems very much like due to too coarse roll trim. The pane does not roll in opposite way after without further input like what some mentioned here. Rather, each trim is so coarse that it tilts and roll the plane off what could have been a well trimmed out level flight. Autopilot is great, but in an intense ground hunt looking out and/or trying to line stuff up in TPod, that uncommanded, untrimmed setting that rolls the jet off intended attitude is just sheer pain that dilutes much of the joy of an otherwise almost real sim. Youtube videos i seen before in cockpit shows trimming in pitch occasionally yes, but roll trim almost non existent and yet the jet flies level and nice. As said before, the DCS F15E trims out really, really well in both axes, really fine enough trim input. Each A10C roll trim feels like about 3x that of the eagle, if i have to compare.
  2. A well trimmed aircraft stays straight and level for a minute or two, but this A10C can do that only a second or two, it seems ! The DCS F15E is able to level trim very well, with each trim input press only inputting a small amount, whereas the A10C per trim input is just too much. Feels like half the time fighting the aircraft rather than the enemy, when looking outside. Even flying straight with just the roll trim seems more economical (and necessary every 2 seconds) than having to move the stick. Granted, those with a long stick extension probably helps somewhat, but that is more of an exception.
  3. I totally can attest and agree to this roll trim problem, which i had also brought up before years past, more than once. Just totally impossible to trim wings level, like each trim input is too coarse or something, and there is no setting to adjust the trim amount input with each button press. It would definitely be helpful if ED could refine each trim input a lot more. On a busy mission looking out, the self rolling off commanded attitude is a serious minus from an otherwise great product.
  4. Fired off 3 JSOWs but one of them (not sure which) arrived at target waaaaay after the other two had hit their targets. Felt like a minute late. A possible bug?

    AGM-154

    Just tried marking 5 targets using radar and all 5 AGM-154 hit rather spot-on, but spread in a rather linear fashion. Really no way to set a burst height, and in a circular spread? Or do we wait for further update to this? Pretty cool that these could launch from some 30nm far away.
  6. Just tried laser spotting targets (tanks, fighters on ground) for the JDAMs from about 10nm / 15000 ft. With laser on and targets perfectly at crosshair center and then designate followed by data transfer to JDAMs, all hits were a little beyond each target, as if the laser painted BEHIND the objects rather than on them. Thought laser ranging and spotting used to be spot-on in the past? Is it broken now?
  7. So here's my answer to my own question ... just tried, and yes with laser ranging away while JDAM is flying in, it would be looking at the laser spot, not the previously transferred coordinates.
  8. Okay folks, here's the real meaning of knowledge / skill atrophy ... actually I knew the answers, but been too long away from flying the eagle. So it is all about the "squint angle", best keeping to 2 to 10 degrees, if I got that right. That would mean coming in at 30nm / 20k ft or 20nm / 15k ft, with off-nose angles of 30 to 40 degrees. I just tried that and now all hits were spot on using radar, even for tiny tank targets. Hope that helps someone along.
  9. Needing to clarify -- when a moving target is continuously lased, is the LJDAM 54 guiding on continuously wireless feeding of coordinates from the ship, or is it following the laser spot like any other GBU? If guiding on coordinates, I assume if lasing a stationery target and I may break lock and turn tail after firing?
  10. DLAA and DLSS are the only option so far it seems to be able to get rid of those bothersome shimmerings. I prefer to lock FPS to 60 anyway. MSAA is good, but then shimmering makes a come-back.
  11. Thanks much, folks. I am fully aware about the altitude use via PB17 and such, and had intentionally set up the steerpoint right on the same elevation ramp area where some tanks were deposited. Those tanks were pre-marked as targets waypoints too. When showed up on radar, it was clear the triangular target points just do not coincide with the radar image of target objects, being offset by a little, thus the JDAM missing by that little bit. But when target points were transferred to JDAM, the hit-rate was 100% spot-on all the time. Could it be that from 30nm and at 26,000 ft and offset to 20+ to 30+ off nose the radar paint could not produce the best accuracy? At 30nm or less, would 20,000 ft be a better choice? Anyone tried that?
  12. While 2.9 has been awesome so far using DLAA / DLSS / Quality / 0.6 Sharpening / SSS On, but I noticed the F15E HUD, while mostly still crisp and sharp, shows up the PBL line, low altitude vertical line (on right), and JDAM In-Range / In-Zone bracket to be rather jagged, especially when flying in a bank. Pitch and Attitude lines are both still sharp. Anyone else noticed this? I do not recall there was any such issue previous when using MSAA 4x.
  13. Trying out the JDAM using AGR but found that map image objects' locations seems to show up some inaccuracy. Small targets like tanks most time are likely to be missed by a few meters. Mapping using from 30 nm or less, altitude about 26,000 ft. Using EGI, which I understand do not need PVU updating. Was on NTTR map. Accuracy is perfect when using target Setpoint transfer method. Anyone else encountered this?

    Should There Be A War

    That is correct, but only after much intense internal debate, as I understand.

    Wheel Brake Bug ?

    I suppose we would have to let it drift to a stop, as no amount of light touch on the pedals seem to be able to stop it straight. Wonder how the real ones do it. As for new missions, there were occasions when plane was able to stop straight too when slower than 15 knots. Seem to be some observed inconsistency. Edit - As observed so far, problem occured before whether at fast or slow speed taxiing.
