There is no data connection between a Paveway-II (GBU-10/12/16) and the pylon. The only interfaces between the two are the suspension lugs and the arming wire that releases the tail fins and activates the thermal battery. The code can only be changed by setting the rotary switches on the seeker/guidance kit.

Since there currently is no way to tell an AI JTAC to lase with a specific code, this is a reasonable workaround. For all we know this might change in the future, but until that happens you'll just have to deal with it.

A-A-8-2 IIRC.

Yes, it is normal. The pulsed radar altimeter in the F-14 is apparently more sensitive to a difference in the reflection coefficient of water vs. ground compared to a normal FMCW radar altimeter.

Oops. Missed that one.

Here's an interesting master's thesis describing the integration of JDAMs on the F-14B: https://trace.tennessee.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3487&context=utk_gradthes (rule 1.16 compliant)

Here's an example from the template/original master PSDs from the AJS37 (and this is from one of the small, 500MB, files). Merging and naming layers makes things a lot easier for the user (and deleting unused WIP layers can reduce the file sizes quite a bit). I can perfectly understand why HB wants to tidy things up a bit before release.

The problem here seems to be that some think that the right to have an opinion means that all opinions have equal value. An unfortunate consequence of being in the post-factual Dunning-Kruger era...

The wireframe is exported from 3ds max. And regarding how long it takes to release the templates: some times people need to prioritize. With a large number of tasks and a limited number of people, priorities often change.

And unless the coordinate input in the UFC changes, accurate coordinates are impossible. The current DDMMSS input limits you to around 30m/100ft accuracy. We need at least tenths of a second (i.e. DDMMSS.s) input in order to target a specific vehicle with reasonable accuracy.

The Bismarck sank approximately 650km west of the French city Brest. And since you apparently think that you speak on behalf of all Italians, YES, we are ignoring the Italians.

Yup, unless they make some major changes to the 3d model, which doesn't seem too likely at this point.

The fuel dump switch circuit is deactivated with weight on wheels or when deploying the speedbrakes. Dumping fuel while the afterburners are lit is discouraged but not impossible according to the natops manual.

The 1064nm laser used for laser guided munitions is outside the visible spectrum of regular light amplifying NVGs.

It hasn't been released for any other version than 2.5.4.28461 yet.

Some basic camo work while we wait for the templates to be released:

New modules are always released on the open beta branch before stable. Open a command prompt, go to the \dcs world\bin\ folder and type dcs_updater.exe update @openbeta It's that simple.

For those interested in the locations shown in the latest screenshots: Beirut: Damascus: Aleppo: Latakia: Ramat David: And that leaves us with the last one. which I haven't identified yet. It looks like there is sea or a lake on the horizon, so there aren't too many possibilities. It could be Incirlik, but I'm not sure.

You don't need to install open beta. The release version can be switched to open beta (or vice versa) using the dcs_updater application. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030

If that was the case we would all be playing Digital look at the F-14 in a museum simulator (or DLATFiAMS as the pros call it). Why does anyone care whether or not a pre-aligned state is available? As long as it is a server controlled option (which it AFAIK always is for the aircraft that have it), it does not affect you in any way unless you willingly play on servers that allow it.

Here's a close-up of a AIM-120 launch, with contrails: MQdNOTCMzoU

OT, but listing a country that operates the PC-21 as your location in the forum profile settings pretty much gives it away...

Yup. Claiming that a fuselage panel with stringers and longerons is the same thing as a machined part of the GE F110 housing is pretty rediculous...
