We fixed the issue internally and it should be available next update.

Hi, could you do a comparison so we can se what you are talking about ?

On the bomb fall line there is a small cut, it's broken in two lines. That small cut is where the last bomb will fall.

That's pretty much how you should do it. The system is not perfect (as it is IRL).

Mirage 2000C 16/06/2021 Update presentation Hello Mirage pilots, the PCA/AG update is near, it will bring a lot of quality of life improvements, a new AG radar mode and two new bombs to the aircraft. Most of the changes will be on the PCA, the VTH in AG mode and the AG radar. PCA The PCA has been rewritten from scratch to fix all problems and improve realism. The most important changes are the ordinance displayed on the bottom row. The equipped stores stay even after they have been expended. In selective jettison mode the PCA top row turns blank and the bottom row displays only the weapons still present under the aircraft. The bottom row button “P” light now indicates that the weapon is armed and ready to be released. For bombs, it won’t turn on if the bomb fuze selector is set to “inert” on the PPA For missiles, it won’t turn on if the missile is not prepared for example. The top row options have been adjusted for each mode and weapons. We also adjusted the AG weapon selection. There are three selection modes: AG Selected: The PCA top row displays the weapon options and the VTH displays the weapon delivery symbology. AG Pre-selected: The PCA top row displays the weapon options and the VTH is in NAV mode. AG Memorized: The PCA top row displays NAV options, and the VTH is in NAV mode. When first selecting an AG weapon (bombs, rockets or AG gun) the system is set to AG pre-selected mode. Using the “weapon system CMD FWD” command sets the system to AG selected. From AG selected, using “weapon system CMD FWD” does nothing but using “weapon system CMD AFT” sets the system to AG memorized. From AG memorized or AG pre-selected, using “weapon system CMD AFT” cycles between the two modes. We added the training mode for the PCA. It is set on the rearming windows by selecting the “A/G training” option under “pods” in the weapon slot 11. It adds BLF, BFF and RKF mode to the PCA bottom row. Those modes work exactly like the normal modes, but without weapons loaded on the aircraft. The PCA will now display an error message and prevent weapon selection when the aircraft loadout is incorrect. VTH The VTH (HUD) is still going through a complete overhaul. We updated most AG symbology to SVG (vector drawings) which greatly improves the quality and readability of the VTH. All the symbology projected positions have also been checked and fixed when needed. CCPI CCPI symbology has been greatly improved, it is now complete and more precise. The domain bracket and domain direction arrows have been added. They represent the correct altitude and vertical speed domain of employment for the selected CCPI weapon relative to the FPM. The CCPI PI has also been updated and is now correct and easier to use. The bomb fall line has been updated and now has a cut representing the last bomb impact. It is now also stopped at the horizon when the FPM is above it. The bomb fall point “wings” are now only displayed if the bombs are ready to release and armed. In the same way the BF indication will flash when the configuration of the bombs is not correct On this screenshot you can see : The vertical domain bracket, on the left hand side of the FPM. Release cue, horizontal bar below the FPM. Displayed when the trigger is pressed and present until all of the bombs in the salvo are dropped. It starts below the FPM and climbs to reach it at the time the first bomb is dropped. Bomb fall line, piper and the last bomb cut. CCPL Just as CCPI, CCPL symbology has been greatly improved, it is now complete and more precise. The CCPL PI has also been updated and is now correct and easier to use. The release calculations have been thoroughly improved, allowing for a more accurate delivery in all profiles. As per SME feedback, we also added a 6 second fuze timer to all CCPL bombs. A new quick action mission has been added to train at CCPL PI. This mission is a good tool to train and master the Mk-82 toss bombing profile. AG guns and rockets Just like CCPI and CCPL, the AG gun and rocket symbology is now complete. Present in AG gun, rockets and CCPLs modes is the safety bar. It has been improved and is now very useful in avoiding the ground and the weapon fragment zone. When the bar reaches the center of the piper, designation diamond or FPM, a X will be displayed on the VTH. At this time the pilot needs to pull 6 g in order to avoid the danger zone. We can now choose the type of ammunition for the guns, AP Tracers and standard AP. Thanks to SME feedback we were able to reproduce a little quirk of the AG gun symbology: the range indication circle starts at 12 o’clock when out of range and then snaps to 11 o’clock before unwinding normally. AG radar modes TAS TAS (air-to-ground radar ranging) mode has been improved. It now simulates the radar beam and the subsequent radar returns. This means that this ranging method is now less reliable, but more realistic. A few effects need to be taken into account in order to get the greatest precision possible out of the TAS mode: The radar gets multiple returns inside it’s 3° cone, it will try to average them out to get the position of the center of the cone. The designation diamond, and thus, the radar, needs to stay pointed at the same area for about 1 second to ensure that the radar has the time to calculate the cone center. The cone center calculations can be perturbed by an uneven terrain, keep that in mind. Since the radar emits in a cone, the farther the designation, the bigger the illuminated area. This means that the cone center calculations will be less precise. A low dive angle will also increase the illuminated area, a steep dive is preferable If the radar sees two planes of terrain, it will have a hard time deciding what plane to use. It can result in a very inaccurate designation. Water will absorb a lot of the radar waves, rendering radar ranging unpracticable unless at a very steep angle. RS ranging might be preferable when attacking targets on or near water. DEC DEC (terrain avoidance) mode for the radar has been added. This mode is used to avoid terrain in low altitude and bad weather or night navigation. It is selected using the DEC button at the center of the radar control panel. In this mode the radar presents echoes from the ground in either green or red, the radar altitude (H) at the center and the clearance height on the right (HD). The TDC is not available in this mode. The clearance height is the height difference below the aircraft above which the ground echoes are displayed in red. This mode is still work in progress and bugs are to be expected. Also, objects like buildings, vehicles or boats are not yet taken into account by the radar. New bombs BAP-100 The long awaited BAP-100 has been added. This is a Very High Drag Anti-Runway Rocket Propelled Bomb, its PCA weapon code is BF8. It uses CCPI delivery method and 6, 12 or 18 BAP-100 can be loaded on the central pylon. At the release the bomb will slow down using a parachute to come to at least a 60° angle from the ground, then ignite the rocket motor to penetrate the ground at high speed and explode. Mk-82Air Mk-82Air is a High Drag Bomb with a higher drag than the Mk-82 Snake Eye resulting in a longer fall time. This longer fall time allows higher separation from the aircraft for low altitude employment. Its PCA weapon code is BF2 and it uses CCPI delivery method. Other changes We improved the VTH IFF symbology, now in PID or PIC, when doing an IFF request the target square will be underlined. The VTH IFF positive symbol has also been improved, now the “A” is bigger and inside the target square. We added the navigation BUT on the VTB display. It’s materialized by a “+” and represents the position of the current DEST BUT. It’s independent from the tactical BUTs displayed with the PCN and is only visible in NAV and AG modes. When the navigation BUT is displayed and RD is selected on the PCA, two parallel lines will be displayed indicating the RD relative to the BUT. We added an initial drift time parameter to the editor for the Mirage. It will simulate the drift accumulated after the set time in a random manner. It can be useful for INS fix training.

Hi, when does the crash happens ?

I just answered your question here Did you read the manual ?

Hi, just so I can confirm this bug, could you make a quick track showing the issue ? Thanks.

Hi guys, it happens to me sometimes in other modules that the kneeboard is a bit bugged and won't display the arrows. I think it's a DCS issue. I'm moving this to resolved and we can't do anything about it yet. Thanks.

Hi guys, I'm moving this to resolved bug in the mean time, feel free to post here if you think the bug is not fixed.

Hey guys, I added the issue to our internal bug tracker, thanks for the report.

Hi guys, thanks for the report. We will see what we can do about that with ED I'm moving this into resolved since we can't do anything about it yet.

I re-opened the report regarding the MPCD bindings, thanks.

Hi guys, this has been reported, thanks.

We are working with ED on this subject as the BLG-66 works differently than other cluster bombs.

Thanks guys, moving this to resolved.

Work is ongoing on this issue.

You need to select CNM neutral to exit AA gun mode. Did you read the manual ? This mechanic is explained in it.

Yeah, Kercheiz said it all. If you've done all of that, can you upload a track showing the issue ?

Hi, thanks for the report, this has been fixed internally and should be available next update.

The TAS is done in a realistic manner, no simplification will be done to this system. By design the TAS is more precise when using a steep angle, other ways to improve precision are: - Stabilize the designation symbol for 1 second before pressing the designation button. - Designate on even terrain. - Be sure that there is only one plane in the radar field of view, no hill or mountain tops. - Don't designate on water, or at a very steep angle. Alternatively, the RS can used to attack targets on water.

Pretty much yes, radars are not very good at estimating slant range due to their big beam angle.

I still don't understand what the problem was, as your English is not very good... To me it look like you made an error while configuring the aircraft for the ILS as highlighted by Kercheiz, but it look like you don't really want to find a solution to your problem, you rather want to insult the dev team and the people that try to help you. I'm locking this thread now.

Nothing like that on the 2000C.
