My eyes have been opened! I am going to name my firstborn after this guy!!!

You can't know that for sure

While actually looking for targets. does it stile home in on the data provided by the fire control computer?

No worries, it's that time of the year, and we are all near then end of our wits for the last 365 days

Does this mean we get a hotfix patch today or tomorrow?

Yep, absolutely pointless for me now. Which i why i didn't get it, even though it used to be one of the major items on my original wish list in my old signature

Yeah, these all sound like good things to have, but for someone who has no nationalistic/patriotic reasons to feel any attachment to this conflict (i'm neither a Brit nor an Argentinian) i always dreamed of having the chance to fly both the Mirage III and FRS1 over this part of the world. I mean, all these 3 together, meant to me as much as the F-14 and Miramar combined, which says a lot

Is this still an issue for you? I haven't experienced one of these in more then a month now.

Ah, such a shame. i was looking forward to this as well, even if only an eye-candy level of implementation . It's a Tomcat eye-candy, and we can never get enough of that!!!

@Bankler Sorry for the late reply, it's been a long weekend! The good news is, it works, both for the Hornet and the for the Tomcat. Mind including a division of F-14A's as well with the next release?

This is what killed the Falkland map for me. No point in ever getting it now, even if one day we do get a Mirage III. Alas, if only the Brits were as good at making stuff as they were in destroying the documentation surrounding them

We ain't! The F-4E doesn't land on carriers

For general and most frequent use, no, you don't need to jump back. However..... in multiplayer, and in target saturated environments, you may want to. My most common gripe is target prioritization, which can't be done from the front. The FCC will always give priority to the closest contacts and to make things even more complicated, will always start tracking as many targets, as missiles you have available, only assigning prioritization once you have fired on any (those will become prioritized). This can overload and overwork your radar, resulting in either unreliable tracks or lost tracks. To mitigate this, i jump in the back seat, and manually select certain tracks i wish to avoid being tracked, and mark them as do not engage. Generally speaking, avoid engaging more then 2 nimble targets at the same time, or targets with large lateral separation. This is all of TWS engagements of course. In STT you have no such issues.

Thanks mate, will run it this evening and share the findings.

Also @draconus and @NeedzWD40 I ran the update, and the issue seems to have gone away, but i didn't fly all that much. Will try more this weekend.

@BIGNEWY Late arrival here, so sorry if i act like necroing the thread. Just a personal opinion, but IIRC, we almost never take into account camera footage, be it a video or a photo, to be indicative of real life visual conditions. For a number of reasons as well, not the leas of which would be eye adaptivity. So if we decide on how to treat the laser lineup, i would be all against using those as reference. Could we stick to first hand accounts and SME's?

Hey mate, thanks for the heads up! I managed to miss this one

Hey guys, after the latest 2 November patches, i find the SC deck alignment light barely seeable on a sunny day, even when the sun isn't shining directly at it. This makes it almost useless when flying the pattern, until you get really close, by which point is too late, or when flying at night or in late afternoon. Is this a bug or a feature? That is, is this how it's supposed to be? I remember a few patches ago, we could see it clearly, especially when it was blinking from a couple of miles away. Here's some screenshots from the current state (notice the light is actually in the shadow): null

Good to know! Thanks mate, could be something on my side then. Also, i just noticed a new patch came out, i'll run the updater first, and try again. Cheers!

Yep, the scripts don't launch, ST and MT checked

@all Really? No one is flying the F-14 anymore?

Thanks!

I thought it was just me. At the same time, glad and sad to see i'm not the only one

Yes, despite first hand accounts of the AIM-54A being more resistant to CM then contemporary Sparrows (we are talking pre AIM-54C era here), ED has decided to make them worse. Hooray! Just learn to live with it. We are living with UFO AI's and Unobtanium powered Hornets. Is it so hard to live with a Phoenix that prefers not to hit its targets?
