I've done a training session today. Air start, Mk-82 AIR and Snakeyes, MK-83, MK-20. I Noticed inconsistencies with the weapon control systems. Sometimes, when Mk-20 were fired from the external station, they fall few hundreds meters before the target. I also had trouble with release intervals, sometimes, press the weapon release 3-5s before release and nothing happened. I check my settings and everything was correct.Tried again, still no bombs drop. Changed the Interval setting and then bombs dropped. I've done pretty much all of my runs at aproximately 500kts and 5000fts (500fts for AIR/Snakeyes). I can't provide details right now, I'll try to do it later with tracks if they work. But overall, the Auto mode seems to be working for me (I don't have any knowledge of the in-depth functionalities of the Harrier's bombing modes and how they should work/behave).

Thanks Toilet2000, hope the devs will take a look at it

It means that Razbam don't have enough infos to make the CCIP/CCRP modes working correctly ?

Thank you for your answer TeddyThePilot. But I'll be honest, I'm not sure to fully understand the meaning of the image. I'll look at it more in depth later. I've tried to reproduce my bug 5 min ago and didn't managed to. I was in the same conditions than yesterday : FLIR on the HUD, White Hot, and pull the stick until the HUD goes fully white. But it didn't happened. Maybe more precision on what happened yesterday : i'll take random pitch angle values to explain it. I was pulling the stick to take altitude and turn right to go back to the target area. Until, let's say, 20° of pitch angle, the HUD FLIR was normal, and when I reached 20°, the HUD goes fully white like on my screenshot. I don't understand this behaviour... When I was at 10° for exemple, the sky was black. And at more than 20° the HUD goes fully white... Also it masks all the navigation and attitude cues of the HUD during a potentialy critical manoeuver (high pitch angle, maybe high AOA and low speed...), it's pretty wierd to me. Thank you. EDIT : I've confused pitch and bank angle, shitty mistake, sorry about that, I meant pitch angle !

Hi, Just done a flight tonight and I noticed this strange ''bug'' on the HUD with the FLIR when I was at certain pitch angle. Didn't found anything in the manual. Is it intended to be like this or is it a bug ? Thanks. EDIT : I've confused pitch and bank angle, shitty mistake, sorry about that, I meant pitch angle !

You brake too hard ? I use a slider to manage my brakes pressure, and the braking is efficient and stable like this. If you pull your brake at full pressure however, wheel lock appear and you'll be unstable

Agree with Leadnap, flight planning is a fundamental aspect of the Viggen's gameplay. Always low, always fast.

Corvinus, it's kinda cheating, but it works ;)

It depends on what are your priority targets in the convoy. If the logistic trucks are priority, as Limotimbo said, I'll go for high drag bombs. But you must be very lucky to destroy the T-72 with them and some trucks will escape despite the fact that bombs hit the ground 5m-10m from them because the DCS bombs/weapons damage radius is completely broken since 5 years and ED just don't care... If this T-72 must be destroyed, I'll go for RB-75 and AKAN gun pod.

Hi there, I just flew with the viggen on a multiplayer training mission (no scripts at all, just units with ''RED STATE'' alarm state option) with SA-8, 10 and 11. It seems that the U/22A pod is jamming even if the U/22 selector is on ''0'' position. Page 127 of the Viggen RC1 Manual ''OFF : Mode 0 Pod is disabled. '' But the MOTVERK indication was still flashing. FACKL SL (KB pod flares empty) still lit after rearming. Done 3 rearming tonight. Also, I was over the ocean to explain the bombs PLAN reticle to my friend, the QFE on the main altimeter was set correctly, weapon selector on PLAN, Master Mode on NAV, Safety Bracket up, I noticed that the reticle jumped one or two times. Like if I changed rapidly the main altimeter reference pressure. But I need to do more tests about this. BK-90 still bugged in multiplayer, but that's not new. Thank you.

Nope, I was just a little lazy when I wrote my post (you know, bug reports on things that have not been corrected for months or even years... standard DCS stuff... Tiring). Sorry for that, kid. No one care about what you think of the module then.. And no need to offense people like you did. The picture was taken with a certain angle, which is not the default view in the DCS Viggen, however It seems that you're right, the EP-13 is slightly offset compared to what we have in DCS. ''Then the Screen in the DCS behaves wrong'' what makes you think that ?

I remember having this issue some time ago. I'll try too on different locations

Agree with that.

Can Leatherneck do a quick post concerning the current state of the MiG-21 and what is supposed to be corrected ? Saw some infos about AOA and ASP in the CEII thread but when those changes will be available ? I'ld like To see what the devs think about the state of the module. Thanks

Ok, we have a little pneumatic automaton that mix it for 1 min or so. We have between 1h30 to 2h (depending on the temperature) to apply it before it's getting too dry. You dried them with an infrared dryer ? We just let it polymerize naturally (except if the aircraft need to be available very fast, then we use a ''Sunkiss'').

Can't understand this... Such a basic functionality (maybe hard to code, I don't know) but this should not take 7 months to implement it. Disapointing.

Imp : I think tanks must need direct hit to be destroyed... Or maybe bombs that hit very close to them can damage them and make them unable to move because of tracks damages... Unable to move but still a threat

Yes, I add another thread and it's entirely intentional ! Since nothing have been corrected i'll add a new thread like this at each patch. And no, I don't do researchs before posting, I take too much time posting bug report for some modules. I was doing research before, but now, I'll not search anymore. I post, if the bug have already been reported, it doesn't matter. If the bug have not already been reported : that's fine. (Remember heatblur with the Viggen wheels rotation speed and the parking brake ?... If you don't post new thread on some already reported bugs, devs can forget some of them). The thing with the cows : you're right, I knew that. I also mention it deliberately to share my view of DCS : eye candy things are prioritized compared to core mechanism problems that are reported regularly for YEARS ! Hope you understand my view and also my frustration (and I'm not the only one to be tired of this, many on my friends don't even bother to open DCS now because of all those pretty much game breaking details that are here since so many years.) Cheers.

Texac, there are dozens of threads like this. Dozens. And nothing had evolved since the creation of DCS World... But they add cows... Yeah cows while bombs needs corrections... In a software called ''digital COMBAT simulator''

Hello. 5 years I play DCS and I'm tired of this... Just done a SEAD mission against an SA-6 with the viggen and 120kg bombs... 2 runs with 12 bombs each. Just look how close the bombs hit the ground. The SA-6 radar is completely operationnal with 100% HP, same for this URAL (those units are not invincible in the ME). Do something please ! Between Mk-20 that are useless and Mk-82/M71 which need a direct hit on a truck to damage it, it's getting really frustrating right now. We don't ask for overpowered weapons, but for a more coherent blast/damage radius with some weapons. Thank you.

B2 ? You used it ? We currently use PR 1440 B2 as sealant and PR1440 A2 as sealant inside fuel tanks. The ASP is a complete mess ? For Air-Air ? It seemed very accurate for rocket delivery last time I used it (1 week).

Yes, you're supposed to clean them. In France we can do it, because our aircraft don't fly that often and we got a lot of special care cleaner for windshields and canopies. But I'll not be surprised to see operationnal MiG-21 with this kind of dirt on canopies in some African countries or former soviet countries. I still maintain that it seems a little too much on the DCS fishbed. What's wrong with the FM and weapons systems ?

Ovenmit, I'm mechanic on Mirage 2000, and I disagree with you.. In operational conditions, windshields and canopies can be pretty dirty (maybe a little too much on the M3LLC MiG-21, maybe). Deep scratches, impacts and crazing (near the defogging ramps) are also very common. What are the problems of the MiG-21 that make it unrealistic right now ?

More than a year now, and no still no RAT... Not a big issue though in my opinion, but still... It's the details that make the module great

Just tried again after the patch : USELESS weapons..
