Thanks Heatblur - well worth the wait

I ran into this as well, The issue seems to be Jester gets confused when task switching. What I had to do to fix it was: Jump in the WSO seat Set the radar to A2G manually Set the range to 5M manually Set the TV/Radar video source to radar Manually Once I configured all of these items, he would lock on the ground for me as normal. One other note, when taking just slick bombs and no pave spike he seems fine... I only had todo this when I ran TV guided bombs, a pave spike (for fun), and slicks.

+1

Thanks @gnomechild - even more excited for it now! I wonder if Computer aided bombing will be a feature, although manual bombing has really grown on me.

Wondering this as well, Also, I may have missed it... but what features will the M have over the E? Any chance a set of NVG's will get tossed into the pit?

Hi everyone, Trying out the Mirage F1 EE and looking for depression tables for the SAMP 400; I don't see them in the manual or kneeboard... has anyone built one that includes the 400 yet?

Thanks for sharing the work around - this was driving me crazy

Awesome - I fixed my issue as well. I wasn't lasing long enough for the target data to store (face palm). I haven't tested using the RF Hellfires with a stored target as the acquisition source; hopefully it's possible to pull off indirect fire scenarios as well.

This has been my initial experience as well (from the CPG position); although I could be doing something wrong. I setup a quick engagement against 4 ground targets at the default spacing from the ME and my first 2 shots (LOBL shots) hit the vehicle next to the one I lased. I haven't tried LOAL shots against stored targets yet, will be interested to hear how this is working for everyone.

Cool - love the updates to SCAS (and the FM in general). Thanks guys!

I did a cold start this morning and ran into this issue (laser tracker was in auto and I had no control over the TADS). For context I run both seats. All I had to do was set the laser tracker mode switch to off.

Was headed back to Paphos (Syria map) in pitch black and heavy rain conditions, only to find I was unable to select RW 29 into the wind when using approach mode (I could only select RW 10L and 10R which was... odd to say the least). Luckily there's a tacan station there and I made it work, but just curious if you can manually tune ILS freq's in the JF17. Thanks in advance! I didn't see anything in Chucks guide, or the EA manual.

If you're familiar with the RADAR, and JDAMs, what I found to work the best is to use EXP modes without a target designated. What was causing me problems was I'd lock what I thought was a target in EXP 2, and try to refine my SPI over the target in EXP 3. The issue with that was when a target is locked (or a SPI is set in general), the RADAR will keep it centered and thus it's almost impossible to refine where you want the weapon to go. Instead, go all the way down to EXP 3 and then set your SPI. I'd suggest playing around with the TPOD loaded too - just to see how close you're getting before doing it all with the RADAR (just for practice). Hope that helps - if you find other tips please share!

Hey @IronMike I've had no luck reproducing this after ~10 sorties. Odd that it happened twice in a row, but not the first time I've seen something odd . Feel free to close the thread - thanks for peaking at the log for me.

Thanks for the reply @IronMike, It's a fresh installation of DCS and the Viggen (among other modules), and I haven't had this problem with any other modules. I'll do some additional testing this afternoon to see if I can reproduce it - will also attach the mission file. It seems to happen after configuring for a dive bomb attack with slick bombs (after setting the master mode to anf), but will see if I can confirm that more definitively.
