Its not as good as rain in Il2BoS. In DCS in VR the rain looks nice when you are at stand still but pretty much becomes invisible as soon as you start moving at all.

I was messing with the plane while testing the "butt kicker" and noticed that if you open canopy in flight it will fly off the external model, but will remain visible half open from the cockpit.

I also have that problem since the last OB update.

Up.

I have to back you up on this. The RB75 that are loaded by default in that mission seem to do close to zero damage to the ships. I tend to go back to the base after the initial attack, reload RB75T. They are nearly 1 shoot 1 kill.

The RB04 has been vastly improved in the latest OB update. Thanks devs!

Same here.

Excellent research !

Very interesting! Will try today, thanks!

Actually I think its due to the fact that I also uncage seeker. It locks to an infrared source mid-flight. Sorry If I created any confusion.

A little update: The lock gate actually shows up, but its so tiny that its near immposible to spot in VR.

My experience is that if you put weapon mode in to RB IR and lock your radar on to the bandit with T1 you will be able to release a missile without the growl and it will still hit the target. I have tried this 6 times now and it has worked every time. I am using beach intrediction mission for testing, where you need to down two Hips. They are really hard to lock on with growl. But with Radar lock and no growl I hit every time.

I will also add the radar mode switch on top. I will post pictures than.

@RagnarDa this feature seems to be currently broken. I have made a post in the bug section witch attached images.

I have asked about ep13 lock indication and have learned that the gate adjusts to the target when locked. Upon further investigation I found that this feature does not function at all at the moment. This is how the seeker looked like about a year ago, when it functioned properly: And this is how it looks now: There is no gate, just full cross and it never locked or not locked. That explains my previous confusion. I remembered at the back of my mind that there used to be some indication of lock.

Hej! The radar cursor does not seem to be analog when mapped to an axis. Is it a bug or the feature? I have no way of knowing.

I'ts not what I have experienced so far. But also does not really touch my point in the first post. Anyway my experience in Beachhead intrediction quick mission is that when trying to take down the Hips its quite hard to get the growl unless you are precisely behind them. But if i lock my radar on to them by t1 and launch the missile without the growl it hits the hip every time.

It does? I honestly haven't noticed. Its really hard to notice in VR. Thanks for the reply :)

Hej Devs! Could we get back the fake sky reflection in the mirrors when they are disabled? Like the one we had a year ago? The black mirrors are really an eyesore and brake immersion a bit.

Hey! I have been wondering, shouldn't there be some sort of indication that the MAV has locked on? I mean ANYTHING like a little symbol somewhere on ep 13 or a cross getting empty in the middle or something. Right now its very hard to determine if I have locked on to something especially when under fire.

Thanks! This is gold!

It is interesting. You can lock radar on to a bandit and release a sidewinder without growl and it will hit the mark. I have no idea how that is plausible but it works.

Hello! As I don't have access to the actual aircraft I have a question or two about the radar stick behavior in Viggen. 1) Shouldn't the cross movement on the radar screen be analog(In way point edit mode T1)? The RB75 uses the radar stick and is analog. However the cross on the radar screen behaves in a digital way. 2) Does the trigger on the radar stick default to the T0 when released? Or is it a concession made to fit the controls to the TM warthog's throttle? When it is assigned to a joystick with a 3 stage trigger (on off on) You lose the lock if you release trigger and move your hand to the throttle. This is a problem when locking on to an bandit in IR air to air mode forcing you to hold the trigger in while using weapons. I know that Viggen was not the most ergonomic aircraft ever, but this seems very suspiciously non sense to me for a Swedish super no nonsense aircraft .

Thanks :D
