Bogey Jammer

That's a valid reason :) I understand in that case

I was just referring to the only desire to get a fancy color moving map. I have no intention to hurt anybody. That GPS device is certainly not for noobs if ever they want to navigate seriously. I mean with all the departures/approaches procedures, rules and other hassles of the civilian sky. Otherwise, if the case is passing over way-points which are coincidentally placed over beacons in 90% of missions, have mercy, spare those 15€ and just use that HSI's needle.

Well, I just peaked at the manual, I can say you'll love to just turn 3 dials, push a button and flip a switch rather than to get lost in the garmin's menu hell… I just hope that people are not so simple minded, that device has no tactical value whatsoever.

Pilot's guide and reference of the real thing. Man this stuff with all these menus and ugly interface gives headache, I think navigating with bare F-5's instruments is much easier :megalol: That device is clearly made to follow navigation procedures to the letter. It's too much for 99% of us.

Gazelle and Mirage got INS, why the need of GPS ?

Just found this topic, but I have no idea where some info come from. Like the inability to detect pulse Doppler radar emissions (:shocking:)

I would never use a FHC conical head screw for attaching a circuit board or anything else not prepared for that kind of head. Seriously that looks so amateurish :doh: And please use a proper tool for chamfering holes, they're looking butchered by a loose drill bit.

The chapter 5 covers the signal processing from the receiving antenna to the light bulb. I have not enough motivation to translate it (requires OCR and text cleaning up, that chapter is so long). What I've understood from a previous chapter is that the light goes on for an electronically determined time, whatever the length of the radar signal pulse or its intensity (should be higher than some sort of threshold though) then, when the light bulb goes off, something is triggered in the circuit to discharge a part in the detection section to set it back to detecting state, thus replaying the cycle for that channel. To be confirmed or not in the chapter 5. That's maybe why a locking radar is said to be displayed by an imperfect continuous lit bulb.

The original soviet book about the technical aspects of the SPO-10 says you're not wrong. This thread is safe :)

You bought a VR headset to get more realism and yet you want to decrease visual realism LOL Don't let frustration to make so bizarre suggestions

Will we see wings bending during high G loads ?

The assembly is not fine enough to be installed on WW2 fighters. It looks more like a light personal aircraft's non retractable tailwheel. M3, please, don't do DCS RV-8 :cry:

WW2 has been beaten to death already. Let true new simulated aircraft to come for us.

The bad design is more likely to come from Leatherneck. The 4 lamps circuits are totally independent and there is no reason they are lit in the same time even by a radar lock. It has been documented that it happens few kilometers from ground radars, but their output power is significantly higher than airborne radars… Other weaknesses: all radars triggers the modeled SPO within 80km range, even if it is a zaslon or the F-86F's primitive tiny radar. Cobra responded that it's too hard to take every radar's performances into account, but at this time he was probably preparing his luggage for Heatblur, and hidden that they succeeded to do it for the AJS… very frustrating for me :mad: They modeled two regimes for their SPO: 1 blink per second for RWS, 2 for TWS, with constant cycle ratio. I've made a small script to notice that it can vary dramatically depending of the radar source's position and mode of scanning. So in my opinion, the SPO-10 by Leatherneck is the most gameplay sensitive feature that needs attention, and I hope that the next module will not inherit its flagrant flaws. Like asla36 said, a good pilot can deduce many information from it, but in the game it is just impossible yet. Too bad, most of us don't care at all.

Yeah, 2 years thanks to the direct experience of the first try… My speculation: If they have to finish the MiG-21 corrections (ASP, SPO, …), it would require heavy code overhaul. But since these components would share the same code architecture for better module portability and maintenance, they have to be validated for the next Su-17M :P module before they are released for the MiG-21 too. That's maybe why major MiG-21 updates are still awaited.

Who said they've worked on it for just 18 months ? If it's a MiG-23, I hope it's not a pathetic useless MS version…

The R-3R sensor is perhaps less sensitive than the RP-22 and is more likely to lost lock while the radar is not.

I suspected the fact that 3+ ways switches are better to be manipulated sequentially because of the way they are coded. I noticed that the radio channels via scripts, must be incremented to reach the desired one, otherwise it is broken and requires to go back to channel 0 for re-initialization. Same for the radar power switch. Go directly to operate position via button shortcut without using the stand-by position and the radar is dead for the rest of the mission. I mapped the IR/Radar seeker selection switch on my HOTAS. The cockpit switch has a neutral position that I never use. One time I couldn't just fire the desired missile type, thought that I made a mistake, flipped the switch over and fired the missile. But the seeker was actually of the wrong type and the missile was wasted (and I died from the counter-attack :doh:) The last hypotheses I can make is that some critical variable is not correctly initialized from the mission start, and gets OK once the first missile is fired.

Do you flip the weapon management switches manually or do you use HOTAS commands ?

How can it be possible ? It's just a texture replacement :huh: I think it is the cause of the problem. 2.x versions are too chaotic to play with some modules. 1.5.x is fine. Wait for the merge (future 2.5 version) A screenshot would help for us to judge, but I think it is a lighting/shader issue.

Whith such condescending comments from you, almost everytime I read your posts on this forum, I wonder how can you get friends in the first place. Sorry but I'm just amazed how you dare to expect everyone must disable AI copilot and be forced to play with human WSO everytime.

It's from Chump :thumbup: I dunno where he found that coef but it looks cooler than Wikipedia's :smoke:

Enjoy the new 1.1 version :D

Aren't GPS signals jammed during wartime ?

Yep, distances for doppler system, that is what I mean exactly :) Beacons can be hidden, but I didn't think about mph speed unit at all. To the todo list then :geek: Try that : add_text_ext(string.format("%s %s\n%s", bearingL, bearingR, altitude_text), posX, posY, FONT_BLACK, SIZE_ANNOTATIONS, "CenterCenter", rotation)
