Thanks. I didn't know if there was a 2-way comm functionality for it work correctly but figured I'd ask. I appreciate the clarification on it being receive only in that regard. I'm guessing any of your supported tracks that AWACS doesn't see which you are contributing to L16 should drop when doing to quiet, as that would be a 2-way situation. Thanks again and good job on the F-16 (and many other modules) and DCS in general. Take care.

Much appreciated on the double check. I just figured I'd bring it up as it seemed like all the other aircraft had the opposite behavior, ie. a strong and narrow landing beam (which makes sense), and the taxi beam is wider and not as strong, which allows you to see more stuff on the taxi way. If it is correct, I'd be curious what the engineer's thoughts were on that. Thanks again for an amazing module and for your time.

Hello, I had an E-3 up which was giving me a datalink position of a tanker on the HSD. I went to RF Silent, and while the radar was disabled, I was still getting datalink updates. If I am correct, I believe almost all RF outputs (datalink included) should be inhibited during RF Silent, and the majority on RF Quiet. Can someone confirm correct functionality, please? Thanks.

Hello, Per other aircraft, it looks like taxi lights are wide (to see turns, etc), and the landing light is narrow and strong. In the F-4E it is the opposite (landing = wide beam, taxi = narrow beam). Was this accidentally set up backwards? I saw this quite some time ago but figured it would be fixed in coming patches, but as of the last patch the functionality is still the same.

If you Google "DCS Budgie", there is a mod that can fix the F-15E for now. I tried it and it is working. The F-15E is one of my favorite aircraft, being so versatile in both A/A and A/G. Glad it is running again and hope it helps you guys (if you have trouble installing it, read the instructions on the page or ask ChatGPT to assist). I really hope ED and Razbam can figure out a quick solution.

Same issue here as well.

It could be something with the Mig-21 RCS, or the way the F-4E radar is trying to handle it. The next aircraft with a similar RCS is the F-16 (close enough), but the F-4E can see it no problem at nearly 50 miles. The Mig-21 for me was only popping up at around 5 miles. Basically, by the time jester saw it, locked it, the Mig-21 was going by me. The Mig-21 seems like a stealth fighter when I'm flying the F-4E. When the AI F-4E is flying, and I'm in the Mig-21, they AI fires an AIM-7M at me at around 20 miles. Also, would hope they could fix the AI flight models to closer match the "good" flight model. Had the F-4E AI sustaining 8.3G's in a turn non-stop when I was messing around in the F-15E.

Great testing. As someone who exclusively plays single player, it is stuff like this that causes all sorts of issues with immersion. It is great we have the most realistic aircraft of any simulation ever, but we're flying against all-seeing UFO's, that breaks immersion completely. ED, any word on looking into this?

Hello, Loving the F-4E, great job guys, it is absolutely amazing. I'm having issues with the radar, however. I included both mission files for you to experiment with. The Mig-21 doesn't pop up what so ever, and when I tell Jester to up the gain he turns it way down again immediately. I wish there was a way to say, "Jester, KEEP THE DAMN GAIN HIGHER!". IE, if I turn the WSO gain up from the front seat, it would be like telling Jester to bias whatever gain he wants by that amount up/down (whatever you selected). Maybe in the Jester menu you could have set radar defaults if someone gets things too out of wack. Anyway, when flying in the clear blue, the Mig-21 never showed up (I'm at 20k, he's at 23-24k), head on. Same exact scenario with bad weather, Jester finds the Mig at nearly 30 miles. Suggestions? Typically garbage weather attenuates RF, not enhances it. Could be Jester is preferring a higher gain in such inclement weather, but that goes back to me wanting him to hold a higher gain when told.

Yeah, I had a similar issue. It was some 50 miles out (Mig-19) and turning towards my F-15 no matter which direction I changed. I my radar off, the Mig-19 didn't even have an RWR mounted. There is no way a Mig-19 is seeing an F-15 at 50+ miles and tracking it perfectly. Problem is, the same thing happens with other aircraft. The Mig-21 AI does the same thing. Any chance to have ED look into the magical AI visibility regardless of sensors or eyeballs?

I can get it to CTD every single time by making a mission in Nevada, SA-11 way out 200 miles SW in that open area. F-15E, MK-84's, centerline gas tank, 2x AIM 120s, 2x AIM-9's, air start over Nellis at ~6500 ft (default). As soon as I select A/G radar and castle switch left to get it going, crash. Every single time. Please fix this asap, didn't have an issue in the latest patch. Just want to relax at home (injured, can't go to work), fly a bit in the F-15E, no luck there either. Yay.

I'm having the exact same issue, it is super frustrating. After these last few patches I've had crash to desktops or complete lock ups (need to kill DCS via task manager) after 20-30 minutes. I submit the game crash logs each time, so hopefully they're looking into it. So far I can't complete any single mission without a crash. The last one was a simple refueling from a tanker in an F-16, rolling off to go intercept two Mig-25's. Just flying, no view changes or touching anything, game crash. dcs.log-20221119-182025.zip dcs.log

Hello, It seems since the last patch the HB F-14's won't fire AIM-54's no matter if those are the only missiles on the plane, if you force them to use it (Intercept w/ LR AAM), no ECM on the enemy aircraft, etc. Attached is a track I was using for testing. Anyone else seeing the same thing? F-14 refusing to use AIM-54.miz

Hello, I've seen this happening for years now it seems, figured it would have been fixed by now. I set the Cloud/Rain level 3 on Marianas map, Mirage 2000C, night time. Moved cloud deck as low as it will go (~2700ft, if I recall correctly). Fog and dust disabled. Wind coming from 247 at 10-30 knots. Soon as you slow down, put gear down and your light illuminates in front of you, you'll see what I'm talking about (mission attached). Clouds are zooming by at something like Mach 1+ from left to right. Anyone else still having this issue, and any word on ever getting this fixed or a work around? Thanks. PS: Technical details for devs, if they need it: Ryzen 9 3950X on an Asus Crosshair IV Hero X370 board, 32GB ram, Gigabyte 2080 Ti, all ultra settings in DCS (whatever I can turned to the max, or close enough). If specific settings are needed I can provide those. Windows 10 with the latest feature updates and all patches up to date as of this post. Nvidia driver to date as of today (12/4/21). Bios for the motherboard and GPU are up to date as well, but shouldn't matter. All hardware drivers are also up to date. Marianas-bad weather landing practice at night.miz

I really hope they're looking to connect the maps together somehow at some point. It would be nice to go from Georgia down to Syria and Iraq, then down to the Persian Gulf.
