About point 4 - Just dont use the F16 for Air to Ground at this time - She recieved a few updates in regards to TGP, Mavericks and so on..... but she is completely useless for A2G as ED confirmed that there is a problem with the SPI (sensor point of interest) which is crucial for all A2G operations I think. I dont know why they packed all this new stuff in there and forgot to solve the basic stuff beforehand ^^ Also possible solutions are not on the horizon as they already confirmed that this will not be fixed in tomorrows update. So prepare that the F16 is not A2G ready for at least 1 month... or longer, who knows...

- I think the ideal way would be a radio option or a bindable command (like autostart). When you get near the tanker around the point where he clears you for contact, you activate that command and the AI takes control over your airplane for the refuel. There should also be a disconnect command for aborting the refuel. - I would also be happy with a more bare bone version... Something like this: The tanker has a defined area around himself (like a bubble) and if you are in this area and activate the command you are slowly getting fuel - You could be ANYWHERE in the bubble with a diameter of lets say 1000 feet. - Or if it makes it more easy in terms of development... You fly near the tanker, defined distance, activate command, and boom - refueled. - Another approach would be a way so that you still have to fly near the boom or basket but the AI helps you a ton during maneuvering, dampens overcorrection and overspeeding. And showing graphical margins where it gets disconnect - like a graphical tunnel following the boom or basket and when you are inside this tunnel you still have to steer but the AI helps you a lot keeping the right directions.

All in all I get the idea now... there are some militant users who are against every function that would help others. Even if it would NOT INTERFERE with there own experience. But there are also people who think this could be a good addition. As I already said in my first post... this is not about how good YOU are in AAR. This is a request for ED on the Wishlist.

Just read the thread... And why do you think I have to quantify anything here? This is the Wishlist forum.

As I said - No one is forcing you to use such functions! Autostart is already in the sim... Do you HAVE to use it, or are you able to startup from cold and dark if you want to? You get what you paid for, and an AAR function will not lower your experience.

This is absolutely true!

What is MAC?

Regarding the realism in DCS - There is an "Easy Communication" option, an "Auto Startup" feature, graphics that show controler positions.... Why not anything for helping in AAR? I dont get it why everyone is argumenting against this. If you dont like Easy Comms, you just dont use it. Why not the same with an AAR feature? Nobody wants to take your skills from you.

It was no question.

Hello! FIRST - Yes I know, maybe anyone who trains enough could learn AAR. And if you are here just to tell how good you are in AAR, please dont do it. This is not the purpose of this thread. I just want to signal that this feature is still wished by people flying DCS. I know I will never have the time to learn AAR, but I also want to have the possibility to refuel smaller fueltank aircraft. I dont want to discuss if people who are able to AAR may find such a feature useful or not. Thank you.

Thank you very much! This provides me a nice overview of what to look at when flying with J. I also think he is an already awesome piece of programming, but I wouldnt be mad if they tune it a bit in the future.

Hello! As I want to use jester in singleplayer I wonder what are his current limits? Meaning is he having problems locking other aircraft in specific distances and/or aspects? (Heard that he cannot slew the radar elev up or down?...) I want to fly so that Jester can do his work in the best way... So that we dont loose lock all the time :-P Thank you

Thank you very much! Now I understand it!

:helpsmilie: I tried it with the "manual" but this is a joke and Chucks guide is not explaining how to change the runway.

I tried it now with Al Minhad on the Gulf map... it has Runway 09 and 27 - but when I select Airport 50 (again, Al Minhad on kneeboard info) it shows again 10L and 10R on FAF button - Is this bugged?

Hello! I tried to do an ILS landing on Syria map into Incirlik - It has a Runway 05 and 23. I selected the right airfield (50 is Incirlik according to kneeboard). It guided me down on the runway - but the problem is that it showed only 10L and 10R on the FAF option... but as I said above, Incirlik has only 05 and 23

+1 Also noticed this today! I dont have a trackfile but I have screenshots from Tacview, and they show something weird... I had Laser on Auto and the GBU12 setup correctly. I did an overfly and they missed the target as already stated in this thread. I followed one of the bombs in Weapon view and I it exploded way off the target - But as you can see on the screenshots they still hit the target (white box around target appearing on impact). I dont know if this is just splash damage or if there is something wrong.

For some reason I thought we have to update it ^^ I think I was misinformed on this :) Thank you very much!

Hello! At the moment I use my own checklist where I update the DTC after engine start, INS align and a ton of other things... but at this stage I already have my canopy closed (its loud out there on the apron). As we have to open the canopy to get the DTC updated I wondered if it will work okay of I do the "Update the DTC" command to my ground crew before I even start the engine? Or will this bork something up? By the way, I think it is more real that the pilot has the actual DTC already inside the cockpit when he closes the canopy... feels like he forgot it when you have to reopen the canopy. Thank you

Shouldnt it work with a point-track of the TGP? Then it follows the moving tgt.

Thank you!

Hello! As there are too many problems with MAV and TGP at the moment I do A2A with the F16 and A2G with the new Hog... But I am just curious when we see the next updates for the F16 MAV and TGP? When I look thru the Bug section it seems there is lot that is "Internly fixed".... Good sign? Thank you

I already noticed that when the F16 MAV was released... The TGP on the A10C and the F16 does that

Thank you very much! Pretty smart tools. Will see if I can find more about it. Always nice to have a good read about such things.
