correct as-is Does the Datalink Actually Work?
Theranthil replied to SharpeXB's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
Are you refering to the picture below ? I sometimes had very bad D/L receptions in the missions but I wasn't able to link it with the TACAN. Are the colored channel jamming the L16 and should we avoid them in the missions ? -
Rudder is a bad habit for AAR. I totally agree on the "10 minutes a day". It's frustrating at the beginning, don't worry after a few session you'll get the hang of it. A few tips : Wiggles your toes : It has been said before, just relax your arm and fly relax. Gripping the stick doesn't help Don't bother with the horizon. Your horizon is the tanker's wings. After some times you won't even care if he's turning or not. You just have to think relative to the tanker rather than relative to the earth. I don't fly that much, but i'm trying to refuel at least once every time I fly. Like the case I.

It says "ATFLIR" on the store page :)

Hello, I run into some troubles with the SLAM : With a simple mission (F18 airborne, 1 wp with a harbour and some boat, full slam load). I set all missiles to TOO with Efuz and flight path setting. I align the slam, select the right missile for datalink, designate the waypoint and launch. The missile perfoms flawlessly. Question 1 : Is there a way to display the video feed without unboxing slam ? Unboxing/boxing forces a full alignment process again, delaying the second missile launch. Without changing the target (still the same wp designated), I launch a second missile. The missile will fly overhead the target and won't dive. Question 2 : What am I missing this time ? In the flight path, the missile descends to 5000 ft about 10 miles from the target then stabilize and dive a few miles from the target. Question 3 : is there a way to have a longer time for more time with a proper feed to align the missile ? During the level flight at 5k, the camera angle doesn't allow to see the target area. Thanks for the help.

What's the maximum range for the Link 13 pod to receive proper image?
Theranthil replied to sirrah's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
I did some test on an airport with An26 on the tarmac (easy targets). At 50 Nm it's really hard to spot anything and guide the missile. At 30 Nm it's difficult but doable on big target (ships docked, A/C on apron). If you don't perform the terminal guidance, I found the missile hits about 30 to 50 m from the target. -
[REPORTED]Auto bombing with MK82 always lands too far(long)
Theranthil replied to MTrenda's topic in Bugs and Problems
Hello, Redkite posted a video long time ago about the CCRP bombing. Looks like the computation is performed with the aerodynamic of the Mk83. It's long for the Mk82 and slightly short for the mk 84. That was a long time ago but not sure it was changed since. Check around 12:00 In CCIP, the computation looks precise enough to me. Maybe also because of the higher angle the dispersion would be less. -
Use the filters. You rarely have several time the same radar type at the same location. Using H1 or H2 for exemple ils a nice way to get the SA-X you're looking for.

Hello, I've trained a lot recently with CBU99 in CCIP doing some pop up bombardment. What I noticed is that the bomb usually fall short of the predicted impact point (where the piper is when I pickle). I drop them around 2 000 to 4 000 ft with a VT at 700 or 900. Does the CCIP take into account the center of the bomblet "cloud" including the VT option or does it consider the CBU as a mk82 or similar and compute the impact of the bomb body (which should go further than the small bombs) ? Any tips on how to improve precision with CBU99 ?

[REPORTED]PP mode in JDAM cancel the TGP waypoint slave
Theranthil replied to Martin2487's topic in Bugs and Problems
It does come back as soon as you select TOO. Example, you have 2 JDAM on 2 pylons. You select TOO on the first one, turn on the POD, press waypoint designate. Your pod is slaved to the TGT. As soon as you drop the bomb, the pod goes rogue but if you select store/JDAM/TOO again, it comes back directly to your previous target. -
[UNABLE TO REPRODUCE] F18 OB right MFD Tpod Zoom not working
Theranthil replied to Cueball's topic in Bugs and Problems
Hello, It bugs when you have a weapon boxed. Try unboxing the weapon, it should work again. -
Hello, I had the same issue and found the solution looking at the video. Is it possible to make the trigger larger ? I tried several time not understanding what I missed.

[UNABLE TO REPRODUCE] JDAM CTD ON WEAPON RELEASE
Theranthil replied to dores893's topic in Bugs and Problems
We just had the same issue on MP tonight. CTD as soon as I pickled in MP. I was hosting. -
Hello, Mission is a bit frustrating, I had one hung bomb and couldn't destroy the last bunker. I was stuck there and my wingman never accepted to destroy it (one bomb fell not far but missed). Edit : my bad, the JTAC should be contacted using radio menu

Hello, Is the program still working ? I'm having trouble with the set up. I have a warthog with the MFD. How can I know which one is 1Joy ? Thanks for the mod, that's something ED should add in DCS.
