Is there a way to have Vaicom do certain actions for me in the F-16 such as: "Push comm 1 button 1" or "Push TACAN 55x Air to Air" And if so, how would I go about doing it? I've checked the manual, but the only references I can find related to TACAN are for AI RIO/Jester. Edit: I know I can do "Select Channel 4," but that won't change what SRS currently set to. I can also do "Select 327.00," and that will change SRS, but I want to create something where I can just name the preset and have it work for SRS as well.

MRM is not a mode, you're thinking of Missile Override. MRM stands for Medium Range Missile, and lets you know how many AIM120s you have remaining.

These are the recordings of the bomb desync. Mine is the first one, and you can clearly see that my GBU-10 strikes the building. However, on their tracks, it misses by a good margin. If we had waited a bit, the target would have burned down, but I wanted to make sure the .trks were as small as possible. This only seems to happen when a Viper drops the bombs, but makes buddy lasing and BDA impossible. server-20200621-231211.trk Buddy 1.trk Buddy 2.trk

It doesn't. Ignore that as it's wrong.

I know, but they want short track files, not ones that last hours long.
-
I haven't, although given the re-simulated nature, I'm not sure how useful they'd be here. It's been a longstanding issue. I can try to get one later today if it's something that's absolutely necessary.

This one is pretty clear to see. Fly up with a buddy and drop a bomb. The visual effect of the bomb will be in the wrong location, but they will still shack the target they were aiming for and you'll see that. However, this issue compounds when you attempt to buddy lase and the bomb will track the offset/desync, and therefore miss the target.

Just hoping the DL is fixed. Anything more than that is just butter

14th FS, WW 90-808 -Ultra Weathered- "BOB"
AlexCaboose replied to Ala12Rv-watermanpc's topic in F-16C
Wow, this is amazing -
You don't need curves in the Viper - the FLCS will go into takeoff/landing gains when the refuel door is open which is basically the same thing as a curve. Completely unnecessary. @OP: The best way to get good at AAR with the Viper is flying the lights. I disagree about the notion that everyone over-corrects. Once you get good at it, this isn't something that happens. When you are flying the lights, your left light is up/down and right is forward/back. Get used to keeping your eyes padlocked to these at all times. Make constant minor adjustments to your throttle and you'll be refueling like a pro in no time.

[FIXED INTERNALLY] All datalink contacts appear as friendly
AlexCaboose replied to RyanFlint's topic in Bugs and Problems
So there's no way we can get a hotfix for this issue this week? -
SAM does not give the enemy a launch warning as it's not an STT lock. At some point in the future, the Viper should be able to bug 2 targets at once in SAM.

mapping controls to real simulator hotas
AlexCaboose replied to markturner1960's topic in Controller Questions and Bugs
Yeah, my F16SGRH CE did not have default mappings and I had to redo it myself (RS Grip + FSSB R3L). If people are really interested I could always upload my profile. -
You mentioned both jets in T/A2A - are you not both in T/R?

[CANT REPRODUCE] Viper Losing Speed Too Fast
AlexCaboose replied to AlexCaboose's topic in Bugs and Problems
Wags looks much better. I tried to replicate this around 10K ft (since I don't believe the USAF tested 9Gs at 240ft ASL). You'll see that even after G-Warmups, I black out much more quickly and lose speed much more rapidly. What you've shown in the clip Wags posted looks correct, but I really don't think that's reflective of what is in DCS currently on the Open Beta live branch (not the dev branch). G Pulling.trk -
[CANT REPRODUCE] Viper Losing Speed Too Fast
AlexCaboose replied to AlexCaboose's topic in Bugs and Problems
I was mistaken. After checking the mission again, the Viper started with about 4700lbs of fuel. -
[CANT REPRODUCE] Viper Losing Speed Too Fast
AlexCaboose replied to AlexCaboose's topic in Bugs and Problems
Both jets started with full fuel. With the 2.5.6 adjusted fuel flow, the Viper was out of fuel long before the F/A-18C. Even at near empty (1000lbs or less), the Viper could not sustain proper G and the F/A-18 had no issues keeping lead. -
Was doing some dogfights with some friends in 2.5.6 and it appears like the Viper is losing speed very quickly vs 2.5.5. The Hornet had no issue maintaining lead, and even at the Viper's corner speed, it wasn't able to sustain near enough Gs (5-6G at corner). Perhaps someone with more technical knowledge available at hand can also submit some proof that the 2.5.5 Viper seems to retain energy a lot better. I have a .trk file but it seems to be too large to submit so I have uploaded it here: https://mega.nz/#!sYwTCJrL!sKcpbrMR7U2q5MTC0h6QUwGehCwlveNbul2uzfiSCqo

Not really, because the jet has to be prepped for that. It should be fine for air to air things, but things like JDAMs when they come out would be degraded

Question: center or right have side stick
AlexCaboose replied to BlacleyCole's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
I use a side stick setup - RealSimulator FSSB R3 Lighting force sensing base + RealSimulator F16SGRH - Collector's Edition. The stick includes the forward tilt built in. -
I placed my pre-order back on July 10th. On the one hand, it's awesome that the reviewers have had contact with WinWing throughout the whole process. But I think it definitely makes it impossible to write a review without bias on unfinished hardware that isn't even the same as the customers get. Furthermore, as nice as the response seems to be from WinWing to the reviewers, it's been a total opposite from a customer standpoint. We're constantly told shipping is just a week away, or it'll be ready at day X. And then silence follows for a month until we get another update. Except for vague posts of things are being worked on. I'm sure the product is going to turn out great, but WW really, really need to hire an English speaking PR guy who is forthcoming and honest with realistic expectations for ship dates. It's better for a new entrant in the space to under promise and over deliver. What we have seen is the complete opposite, and leaves a sense of distrust and questions. I've spent over $1K on this HOTAS back in July for a product that was supposed to ship in August. At this time, I can't tell you when it will ship. Supposedly it's soon, but realistically, who knows.
