Yeah I was not clear, I was referring to the whole system, not only the RWR. But you matched my question, so thanks for rephrasing :) @Bimbac: Thank you very much for the explaination.

Thanks guys, always great to see how much knowledge this forum provides :) So the RWR detects the communication plane<->missile via datalink and assumes a missile is active? That means if the missile does not have DL there is no way for a RWR to differ between STT and an active missile? Are there many aircrafts capable of spoofing launches? I assume that would be a powerful tactic. If not, why is that?

Hi, I have some questions regarding a2a radars which we use in DCS. I am aware that there are different types but I guess my questions are rather generic. Lets assume we want to lock a target to fire a SARH missile. Our radar switches from search mode to STT and then into some kind of tracking mode. All those 3 modes are detected differently on the enemy RWR. Question1: What is the difference between STT and the mode in which the radar guides the missile? Is it the same but with more energy (or shorter pulses) being used? If so, why is the latter mode not being used for STT? I assume energy saving is no high priority? Question2: How long does the radar stay in this tracking mode? How does it know that the missible is dead and it can return to another mode? Is there a data link for each missile and when this link is down the plane assumes the missile is dead? Question3: Is it possible to manually enable tracking mode without shooting a missile? Could be used to spoof launches (in bad weather conditions) and to force the enemy defensive without "wasting" a missile. Thanks for reading!

I hope the actual bonus system gets revamped too. I mostly preorder modules so I am unable to use points.

2018 is/was the year of micro$$$ and other bs of that kind which may be the reason why I was a bit shocked when I read this in the newsletter. Hope for a clarification in the near future too.

Thanks for the good show over the year. Any plans for a highlight video with a best of this season?

Would also like to see them working on caucasus. I own all maps but this is still my fav. Also it is the "main" map because playerbase is not that big and other maps are $$$.

I think it was introduces in one of the last updates because I am sure I took off with AUTO flaps earlier without having problems.

Good to hear that I am (maybe) not creazy :megalol:

Hi guys, thanks for all the input. Problem is solved, I have no idea what was causing it and what exactly solved it. I detached all inputs except keyboard and mouse and deleted the whole "[...]/Saved Games\DCS" folder. Then I tried again but I accidently set flaps to UP so this could not work. But after this ("stupid") test I reattached all controls and set again all key bindings since I could not import the old ones... dont know why. I dont know why but now everything works again... :joystick:

Okay found a "workaround"... I guess... When flaps are UP and the weird cross is still down: - Flip flap switch to down (or half) -> indicator cross jump back to center - Immediatly flip flap switch to up again -> indicator stops and keeps near the center. I am out of ideas. Also there is no different in cross position whether flaps are HALF or DOWN. Cross is in the same position. Good God why??? Gimme my weekend and let me try the new campaign :megalol:

Just updated stable branch. I have the problem with the pitch up on stable too :/ Just to make sure, the little cross (marked in blue color) indicates flaps position, correct?

I made a short video to show what I mean. Sorry, no youtube (No account ;)). https://streamable.com/1y0lz Please note the cross which appears below the center on the controls indicatior window after I set flaps to half. Edit: Track file attached. trk1.trk

Hi, no curves or anything else on any axis. As said, controls indicator shows everything is centered. Yeah TO trim 12 degree is fine but when I am airborne I cant prevent the plane from doing loopings even with stick full forward. Controls indicator shows still everyting as centered EXCEPT the flaps cross which is still lowered from the center but the flaps are in the up/auto position, F2 view and FCS page confirm this.

Hi, I am not sure if this is a bug or a problem on my end. Since the last OB update from yesterday I cant fly the hornet anymore because it is pitching up for no reason. Steps to reproduce: - Instant action -> Caucasus cold and dark - BAT on - APU on - Right engine - Left engine - FCS reset - T/O trim - [Rctrl] + [Enter] to bring up controls indicator. - Notice everyting is centered like it should be. - Set flaps to half - Notice the cross (which indicates the flaps position I guess) on the controls indicator moves a bit downward. - Set flaps to up => Cross does not come up. FCS page and F2 view shows flaps are at 0%. When I takeoff the plane pitches up even if I go full stick forward... Already deleted my control layouts but this did not help. I can reproduce this 100%. Track is attached. Its not only this mission. Same when I try the new mini campaign. I am not posting this to the bug forum because it seems there is nobody else with this problem... Otherwise @mods feel free to push this Any ideas? :huh: pitchuptrk.trk

For me I could make is sweep when changing the weapon. But it did just do a single sweep (maybe 2, dont remember) until it went idle again. Rolling/Pitching did work once but not always. But I guess there is no need to dig any further into this as they seem to be aware of the problem ("b-sweep oddities" in changelog).

I dont know, maybe its just on my end. I am trying the mini-campaign and sometimes my radar stops sweeping... Did not grab the track... anyone else?

According to the steam stats there are currently 352 people playing DCS World (Steam edition)... so... Its not always about statistics but I get your point (which is of course valid). I would be very happy about Vulkan inclusion because this bring us a little step further to platform independency. There are currently 2 games which prevent my PC to go full Linux. One of these is DCS.

I mostly fail to spot and (visually) track air targets but I still dont use labels because it takes away so much gameplay... Maybe it would be a good idea to be able to select what kind of labels to switch on so you can for example use labels for planes but not for missiles.

Nice. Please continue this series. You asked for input on what to share next and I would like to vote for more information about the F-15. I hope you dont only read the YT comments because there are people like me who can live without FB or YT account :)

Awwww HB you did it again! Why dont you provide awesome pics like this one in 4k resolution for wallpaper usage? :mad::mad::)

Some ugly edges but better than before, so thanks! :)

Thanks for involving the community

Maybe in a bigger rez as wallpaper? :)

Hi, picture says everything. Using up2date open beta, no mods. Not sure if only I have this problem since I copied inputs from stable<->ob multiple times. Maybe someone else can check?
