Just so people are aware of Zabuzard's responses in another thread regarding this subject. The section of manual shown below seems to indicate there is no change of audio tone for an enemy missile launch from the ALR-45. I find that extraordinary. Is that accurate? So, if neither you or Jester spot the missile launch you're in serious trouble? Did all enemy missiles produce a vapour/smoke trail at the time? It does give you a sense of just how old the Tomcat A is I guess

Have you installed today's hotfix? Regardless, I have installed the hotfix and with the early A's ALR-45 I'm still only getting a vocal launch warning from Jester. I don't get a change in tone from the RWR for either a SAM or A2A launch, only the standard beep that I'm being painted. Is this accurate?

When I adjust the volume on the early A's ALR-45 with my HOTAS (set-up for the later A/B's ALR-67), I get a CTD. The ALR-45 is not listed in the controls.

Where was the GPS dome located on the later variants? I don't see any difference in the external models.

Yes, and more importantly than any of that, all of these issues still remain: If HB fixed the issue of ACLS not working with FFB sticks/Iceman trimming nose down when in the RIO position, all else would be forgiven.

Thank you @BIGNEWY, and thank the team for staying late please. Nothing for the Corsair? Just extraordinary for so recent and so eagerly awaited a module.

Okay, now I'm really confused by block numbers

Compulsory viewing for Tomcat fans. Great work Sir.

That was just a joke regarding how long we've been waiting for the early A. I have actually given DCS a break for a couple of months and been flying the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions in Re-Rentry (Reentry - A Space Flight Simulator). I was waiting for the early F-14A, to get back into DCS. I had a feeling they were block numbers, just surprised the very early A got all the way up to 95. Nothing better than a Tomcat in high-viz paint.

Time to dust this off?

Forgive my ignorance, but what do the numbers '95, 70, 75' refer to?

You mean apart from ACLS not working with FFB?

Just flying the first mission. This is literally a game-changer. A whole new experience from all the scripted campaigns I've flown. A giant leap towards greater authenticity. Things got hectic in a hurry. I should've stayed aboard the Carrier Bravo sir. Amazing work. "It's the first day of school fellas!"
