    CCIP Errors

    in Bugs and Problems

    Posted · Edited by REL
    more info

    Hello, everyone

    About a month ago I posted this bug report about CCIP Errors in this forum section:

    A few days ago I came across this Note in the "DCS F-16C Early Access Guide EN" PDF file which made me think of a possible cause of my experience of CCIP Errors (Page 157 - "NAV STATUS DED Page")

    When I Checked My custom mission neither of the two conditions of a good GPS availability was mat (“USA is one of the countries assigned to the player’s coalition" Or "Unrestricted SATNAV is enabled"):

    When one of them is true the Viper CCIP is accurate once again - which marks the solution!

    Another clue is the difference between the info in the "NAV STATUS DED Page" of the two the missions settings versions

    Degraded GPS precision mission settings - Note the floating TD (Target Designator) Box above the actual target = red smoke base line:

    Good GPS precision mission settings:

    I hope my discovery helps anyone who stumbles with this CCIP problem & (@BIGNEWY) prevent ED team wasting their precious time investing this issue!

    Hello, everyone

    I ran some test on CCIP (too many unexpected misses) and wanted to share the following:

    Basically I used 40c weather with no wind or turbulence and two 30m marked radius with a live tank in the middle as targets for FA-18C & F-16CM while I use CCIP bombing in both platforms.

    The Hornet CCIP is accurate enough to shack the target & hit inside of the 30m radius (marked with green smoke)

    image.png
    While the Viper hits always fall short and well outside 30m target radius (marked with red smoke).

    * Looks like the F-16 CCIP inaccuracy grows with the mission temperature value (20C hits closer then 40C ).

    I hope that's enough data to help ED team to investigate & fix the issue.

    Radar elevation way too sensitive on button

    in Controller Questions and Bugs

    Hi

     

    you can hotfix that yourself by backup & editing "default.lua" file in to DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Input\F-16C\keyboard.

    The change you're looking for is in 101-102 lines: "ANT ELEV Knob - CW" section from 1.0 to 0.1  &  "ANT ELEV Knob - CCW" section from -1.0 to -0.1.

    No effect on multi-player "Integrity Check" as far as I know.

     

    Good luck

    No kill for airplanes marked with "UNCONTROLLED" checkbox

    This should be fixed, but until then, have you tried not setting them to uncontrolled and blocking their path? That way they would be spawned and active but still won't move.

    thank you for your 2 cents Exorcet but it's a sisyphean work in cases of multiple flights generated by an external auto mission generator.


    I'm very curious about what ED team point of view on this possible bug though.

    No kill for airplanes marked with "UNCONTROLLED" checkbox

    in General Bugs

    Posted · Edited by REL

    Hey ED

    Recently I discovered that destroyed airplanes (some are very tough and hard to destroy) marked with "UNCONTROLLED" checkbox in the mission editor do not register a "Kill" status (Causing a major bummer when flying a OCA/Aircraft sortie).

    DCS User Manual EN 2020 page 194:

    UNCONTROLLED. When setting an AI group to a “Takeoff from Ramp” (cold start) waypoint, the Uncontrolled check box can be used to have the AI group appear at their starting location on the ramp, but not begin the spool up sequence until initiated by an AI TASK trigger as set by the START Command in the Triggered Actions of the group. In this case, the group aircraft will appear in the mission in parked configuration and remain as such until triggered to “come alive”.

     

    I made a YouTube vid for your convenience HERE.

    Also see attached files.

     

    Please let me know if I can provide more information.

    CCIP wrong when changing the temperature in ME @ "Time and whether" Tab

    in Bugs and Problems

    Posted · Edited by REL

    Hey ED

    1. Change the temperature in "Time and whether"  tab @ Mission Editor to 38c (see 38-0 pic)

    2. Select MK82 in CCIP mode

    3. Active Pause when the CCIP Pipper at the bottom of the smoke & pickle

    4. The bomb impact short (see 38-2 pic)

    5. Repeat the steps with 20c result in reasonable impact (see 20-2 pic)

    *. Might be a general issue because I tested other modules (F-16C) and on several maps (Nevada & Caucuses) with the same result (reasonable impact @ 20c | short impact @ 38c)

    More pics & .trk files attached 

    Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong  😃

    New drive for DCS

    in Installation Problems

    Posted

    Hi

     

    I'm looking for the best way to move dcs to a new drive and in my research I found that most people usually perform those steps:

    1. 1. Copy DCS folder to the new drive.
    2. 2. Update all DCS Shortcuts path.
    3. 3. Update the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta path key.

    I just wonder what am I missing / mistaking?

     

    Is there a way to use the official installer with conjunction of the existing files in the old drive?

     

    * (@ our moderators) didn't know where to publish this post so ... sorry if this in the wrong place
