Ignition

Make sure unrestricted satnav is set to on. Make sure the INS alignment is ok. Also the RF switch set to on, and mids also on It was working for me yesterday between F-18 F-16, also Red coalition.

Pathfinding is still the worst since forever. I hope the next fixes really address this issue. Sometimes it's really infuriating. Groups getting stuck and also making other groups getting stuck. Also the behavior of the column formation is broken and has no sense. They get stuck really easy. The group stop moving a few seconds after the first waypoint until you change the formation so they go straight to "yellow dashed line" and then get stuck by scenery. I don't know how ED is going to do the Dynamic Campaign with this issue. I'm waiting for these fixes really. CA is almost unplayable. Thanks.

Well, maybe not now but it was abandoned for 8 years. Some oficial news would be nice to have after so much time.

The DCS F-18C has better stand-off weapons. The only cool thing about the F-16 is the HTS and 105. It is what it is. The AGM-154A is very VERY unreliable in DCS, its not worth it.

The Tactical Comander loses the fog of war when the mission force the map to only show allies. When the mission force the map to show only the map, the Tactical Comander has the fog of war as it should.

Thanks!

Still broken, group starts to move and then stops. If you change the formation and PRAY so no unit get stuck on a tree or building, it resumes the route but it goes directly to the first waypoint instead of on the road. Unplayable. Units get stuck very frequently, they don't go backward so they continue going forward and getting it worse, this makes the whole group stuck making the group behind also stuck between the buildings trees and other units. CA its a mess.

Probably distance, the laser in DCS has a maximum range around 9nm.

The big problem is the aircraft needs have the engines off, so when you land and rearm you need to shut down the aircraft and that means a full realignment.

Argentina won't buy anything. I'm not going talk about politics, but I live there. The DCS JF-17 is nice as it is. It fits well in the 2005-2008 timeframe of DCS.

Vehicles should not be invisible in IR. With 20ºC a vehicle should be hotter than the environment, even if it has the engine off.

Adjunsting the level and gain is needed, brightness and contrast helps a little to fine tune the image. Sometimes, the TV is clearer than the FLIR because with FLIR the vehicles are completely invisible. I remember it happened to me the mission at night with bright a moon, 20ºC, with FLIR the targets were invisible but I could see them clear with TV.

Didn't see the tracks but remember the reach of the DCS laser is fixed at about 9nm, don't lase before that unless someone else guides the bomb.

I don't know if this is the case but LGBs need to be released with the aircraft flying to the ASL and without rolling the aircraft.

Thanks, this clarifies a lot more. I think ED should do these explanations BEFORE an inportant update like this because it generates a lot of confusion. Also why some modules like the A-10C or the F-18C work like they do vs the F-16C. A simple explanation is enough, it doesn't need to be very complex just so most of the people can understand.

MMMmmm this makes more sense.

Fancy, depends on what you call it fancy. The weapons of the DCS F-16C have some decades. If I shoot an AGM-88C in PB EOM it will use the GPS coordinates or INS? If I dorp a JDAM it will use GPS or INS coorinates? If I drop a JSOW it will use GPS or INS coordinates? If I drop a CBU-105/103 it will use the GPS or INS coordinates? How does the aircraft know the "sys aircraft accur" is High? How much drift per hour can accumulate? So now not even the TGP coordinates are accurate? This looks like a pre 2000 like the viggen or the F-14 and not a 2007 aircraft. I'm not against the INS FIX though, but this looks really old and confusing.

What's an "extended flight"? My regular flights are about 90 minutes. I guess an "extended flight" is more than 2 hours?

Why does it have GPS then?

Today I practiced TOS with a friend, he was on a F-18C and I had to manualy sync the clock time to his because there was 2 mintes of difference.

Downwind is at 1000ft AGL 1nm from the runway (I do 1.2-1.5 if I have more weight), when the wing is aligned with the end of the runway start your base turn and I do about -3 degress pitch down. On final extend the air breakes and put the dashed horizontal line (-3º glide slope) on the end of the runway. You know the rest. Breake landings are for formations, this way they are easy to control and faster to land when multiple aircrafts arrive to the airport.

As I said I did the tests with the shelter, not the ammo depot. I will not bother with the tracks since they saved wathever they want, an F-14 on batumi, I saved all the tracks and all of them saved the same F-14 track. If you want is as simple as droping a GBU-31 3/B with an F-16 to a static shelter. It will be even faster than downloading the track file. The GBU-24 A/B will destroy it in one hit but ONLY with AD 0, AD is working as FD so if you change it it will explode late.

Ok, I made some testings on the F-16C. First I droped 2 GBU-31 3/B FD 35ms to the shelter, it didn't get destroyed. Second I used the GBU-24 A/B, I got confused because the bombs went right through the shelter and impacted the ground a few meters after it, AD was set to 4 seconds. Then I tested with 8 seconds and the bomb did explode after 8 seconds of impact. Third, I used the GBU-24 A/B again but with AD 0 it did hit and destroy the shelter in 1 hit. AD is working as FD for this bomb. The GBU-31 3/B is not doing enough damage since both bombs are based on BLU-109. (I did save all the tracks but as always the track files do wathever they want and ALL the tracks saved the same file, an F-14 on batumi for wathever reason. I didn't even used the F-14 HAHAHAHA.)

I was talking specifically about GBU-24 A/B and GBU-31 3/B, both weapons are based on BLU-109. In DCS at least with the shelter the gbu-24 destroys it in one hit but 2 gbu-31 doesn't. I will try to test again the 31 with a bigger FD.

Both weapons use the BLU-109. I guess they should produce the same effect. I will try later with a greater FD, maybe 15ms was to short.
