This fixed it! Link for anyone who is 3 yrs behind on DCS F-16 updates:

No. Didn't know that was a thing. I googled it and found a vid by Wagner on the NORM alignment update from 3 yrs ago. Hope this fixes the issue. Thanks again for the help.

Weird. I did a full NORM align this time and it still wouldn't work. All the way to 10.1 /10 alignment. I'll try the rougher align mode STOR HDG next, but here is the trk file for the full NORM alignment. Should theoretically be a better alignment than STOR HDG HAD not working (Full NORM alignment).trk

So you went beyond a 8.0/10 alignment? Thats where I normally stop, where the RDY starts flashing, but that didn't work either.

I got the HAD to work if I spawned into an already flying jet with the HTS equipped, but not if I have it armed before cold start. Oddly enough I found out the HAD, in the cold start / re-arming situation, is picking up signals, but the contact symbiology isn't appearing on the MFD. If I hover my TDC around I can pick up invisible search radars to lock on to. Here is a track file showing whats happening HAD not working.trk

Still having the same issue if I re-arm and takeoff. I got the HAD to work if I spawned into an already flying jet with the HAD equipped, but not if I have it armed before cold start. Oddly enough I found out the HAD, in the cold start situation, is picking up signals, but the symbiology isn't appearing on the MFD. If I hover my TDC around I can pick up invisible search radars to lock on to. I'm uploading a track file. HAD not working.trk PS. Think I will report this as a separate issue since I do think this is a bug.

I'll give that a shot. I was aware of limiting the threat scanning if you are using the HARM as the sensor on the "WPN" mfd page as there is a clearly seen refresh rate based on the number of threats it's scanning for and the width of the scan, but I was unaware this was necessary for the HAD. Must be a new thing since the last I played. In the past, and in BMS, the HAD simply picked up everything rather quickly with no filtering required.

One other question before I make a separate post. Do you know of any bugs with the HTS/HAD? Don't remember ever having these issues and figured I'd ask before making a separate post. Spawn in a clean f-16 re-arm with HTS and Harms re-arming complete Startup jet/ takeoff Power up HARMs Power up HTS hardpoint station Nothing detected on HAD despite being launched on from 10 thru to 2 oclock.

Thanks man. I thought I had checked everything but I found out what it was. I had mapped the refueling bay to a switch on my throttle somehow and I was spawning into the aircraft with the refueling bay open or opening immediatly during startup. Thats why the autopilot wouldn't turn on, and hopefully also why i kept getting "trip fuel" warnings. Should have noticed the blue "RDY" warning light for the refuel door.

Tried hoping into the free flight with the F-16 with DCS 2.8.2.35759 (current Beta version) and the autopilot will not activate. If I flip the switch in the cockpit to "altitude hold" it will not stay fixed and not activate. I'm at 10,000 ft moving at 300 knots and flying level, but still will not activate even after spawning into a clean F-16 already in flight.

Based on my experience, the limiting factor at higher resolutions is the GPU. The CPU only starts to really limit performance once you get into very high refresh rates (frame rates). Think 144hz+. We get nowhere near those FPS in DCS with VR. FYI. I'm still using a i7 5960X with a 2080ti GPU. I game on a 2K ultrawide Gsync panel that maxes out at 120 fps and an Oculus Rift. The GPU is still the limiting factor on my system especially with VR. PS. Instead of Nvidia getting rid of SLI, wish they would try to implement it with VR headsets. Imagine the jump in resolution and framerate of the headsets if we had a single 2080 or 3080 rendering for EACH EYE in the VR headsets. The GPU's are already synced up to run in SLI anyways, why not utilize a separate SLI GPU for each eye? It would be an insane jump in VR fidelity and performance.

This :thumbup: I don't main Russian aircraft but alot of ppl do. I honestly feel for the Russian aircraft fans in DCS that only have the Mig-21 amid the sea of NATO full fidelity aircraft.

Graphics card by far. I'm running a i7 5960x @ 4.5ghz with a 2080ti. With a 120hz ultrawide monitor/ Oculus Rift. I can not achieve the framerate necessary to make an extra .5 ghz CPU matter in terms of gaming. I would need to be gaming somewhere between 144hz-200hz for that extra .5 ghz to be worth my while.

Amen. You'd think Thrustmaster would make an F/A-18 throttle to match the grip. I'm sure Virpil will make something eventually to match either the F/A-18 or F-16. I'd buy either...or both. After going 1-1 with the A-10C, it's all I want in my other few MAIN aircrafts. An F/A-18 throttle would cover alot of aircraft. F-16 throttle is niche to itself but so iconic and perfect.

Thanks Viking :thumbup:
