Could anyone explain to me how the "Obstacle detection mode" of the radar works? Is it a form of autopilot or does it just provide warnings?

Is your airspeed constant? If not you won't be able to trim the plane level.

If you want to make it interesting and you can find some volunteers it would be cool to have some human controllers doing the gci using loatc or whatever.

Thanks that seems to have fixed the problem. I missed that solution because I don't have any VR hardware...

The title pretty much says it all. When I try to change any of the graphics settings DCS just goes blackscreen. Logs.zip

Thanks I really appreciate the detail and all the work you have been putting into the INS. :)

Hey Zeus could you quickly elaborate of the differences in performance differences of the different alignment classes? Does a longer alignment reduce the amount of drift? and/or affect the accuracy of your initial positions?

The missile may have pitbull at an angle that was outside your RWR coverage. Without a track we are just guessing.

I was pretty sure that it would be a low priority. I just thought I would mention it is case it had been missed somehow :)

Hey I am not sure if it is best to mention it here or that this is something that ED needs to fix but I have noticed that the leading edge slats are extended on AI Mirage 2000C aircraft when the landing gear is down. Obviously this is a pretty minor aesthetic issue but I thought I might mention it so that someone can look into when there is time/resources.

I'm not going to deny I was doing a bit of radar handwaving. My point is of course we don't know how many of these systems work and we have no chance of ever finding out but we can make an educated guess as to how they are likely to function.

The real problem will probably be and always be that the exact capabilities of the RWR of any remotely modern aircraft is going to be secret. Not only that but the exact way airborne radars behave when they are providing illumination for a SARH missile. Can RWR x detect a SARH launch using radar y? what about radar z? Its a mystery, I'm sure somewhere someone might know the answer but if there is they can't talk about it ;) I think in terms of realistic simulation it would be safe to assume in general the RWR system in the M2000C-5 can detect the CW illumination that indicates a SARH missile launch from any of the radars used in the game right now unless there is some strong evidence to show that it cannot. That's my two cents anyway.

Sorry if I missed the answer before but for the bomb salvo will the first bomb land on the pipper or will the salvo centre over the pipper like the A-10C?

Does the bomb Salvo start at target or centre on it?

The MiG-21Bis is actually an early 70s aircraft. 1972 to be precise. Where there ANY reliable radar guided missile in the 60s? :P
