  1. okay.. i see what you're doing - you have to sort of "pre-aim" the pod in order to get the laser spot tracker to "catch" the illumination

    that kinda defeats the purpose though doesn't it?

     

    you don't know where the target area is, but in order for the LSS to find the laser reflection, you have to point it in "sorta" the right direction

    that's kinda catch-22, right?

     

     

    i don't remember it being this difficult - i seem to remember (emphasis on "seem") the LSS would find the laser much easier

    Q - has the field of view of the TPOD been reduced??

    Q2 - if it has been reduced, can we have it back?

  2. DCS really does need a full-up F-15C

    F-15E *is* a totally different aircraft - the drag, extra cockpit, additional restructuring of the fuselage... all make it a significantly different platform - so much so that the AIR FORCE ITSELF named it differently! (that's what we call A CLUE, folks)

    would love to see DCS to be completely "full up"

    and FC3 (and now MAC) all relegated to its own separate universe

  3. here is my dropbox link to trk file and miz file that i flew

    CLICK HERE

    and here is a youtube of me flying that mission - i took two passes, never got the LSS to find the laser the JTAC was firing

    (give it time to process - looks pretty rough right after i uploaded it... AND for some reason, the cursor (yellow cross) doesn't appear in my recording - using nvidias integral recorder)

  4. I know you guys have this on the queue, but can we get some words about the Data Cartridge on DCS?

    Maybe about how its expected/planned to be, and the functions that it will bring to DCS

     

    Im asking this since in the Viper its a important feature to have

     

    Thx

  5. We would like to do a Q&A about the development of the DCS: F-16C Viper for this newsletter, if you have any questions, please post them here, please make sure they are related to the Viper and its development only.

     

     

     

    We will pick the top questions and post the answers in the next newsletter.

     

     

     

    Thanks!

    WHY does TWS take so long to finish??

     

    honest question - we are clearly on the outside looking in - it seems easy and straight-forward to us

     

    and you do other things that "seem" so difficult yet you do them quickly and well

     

    why is TWS such a struggle?

     

    a little explanation would go a long way

     

    thx

  6. ... The closest we get is WIP Razbam's F-15E.

     

    which is NOT the same as a full-fidelity F-15C

     

    i see the comments - the requests to remove the CFTs

     

    a strike eagle minus the CFTs does not a light gray make

     

    ask any eagle or strike eagle aircrew

     

    DCS *needs* a full-fidelity F-15C

  7. The options menu has to have the ptt button held the entire time you are talking to it. You can jump staight to the f10 menu by saying "take 10" then command from there.

     

    not sure that's part of it

     

    like i said, it works as expected - and then it doesn't

     

    something is getting turned off somehow?

  8. got VA working with VAICOM PRO ---- it works for a couple mins, then doesn't work anymore - its running, its not crashing - but it does not respond to my PTT key (from TM-WH/TARGET and keyboard, doesn't matter)

     

    it seems like it is always on - always listening

     

    because if i watch the VA window, it is picking up fragments of what i'm saying (and getting things wrong too)

     

    but i'm not keying the PTT

     

     

    i see approx 280 pages of support here - have *not* gone through them all

     

    just gonna put this out there ---- any ideas why VA/VAICOM plugin works for a few mins and then just..... doesn't??

     

     

    TIA

  9. pg 5 --- this para...

     

     

    "The F-14 is equipped with an internal 20 mm M61 Vulcan Gatling cannon mounted on the left side (unlike the Phantom, which was not equipped with an internal gun in the US Navy), and can carry AIM-54 Phoenix, AIM-7 Sparrow, and AIM-9 Sidewinder anti-aircraft missiles. The twin engines are housed in widely spaced nacelles. The flat area of the fuselage between the nacelles is used to contain fuel and avionics systems, such as the wing-sweep mechanism and flight controls, as well as weaponry since the wings are not used for carrying ordnance. By itself, the fuselage provides approximately 40 to 60 percent of the F-14's aerodynamic lifting surface depending on the wing sweep position, mainly due to the lifting body characteristics of the fuselage."

    did you mean F-4

    ??

  10. i think ED does a great job on visuals - they always have - going back to the original flanker sim, ED stood out with their visuals

     

    i would like graphics to advance to the stage where the textures vary from aircraft to aircraft - heatblur said they were going to have different wear-and-tear on cockpits - that idea should be extended
