Is there any possibility to have the double line info on the TID? Oops, this should be moved to the F-14 sub-forum.

Belsimtek is Eagle Dynamics

Español: Que tal che. El phoenix en STT es un fox 1, nunca se activa. Es guiado por el AWG-9 hasta que impacte. En TWS el WCS le da la orden de activarse, no se activa por si solo. PD: che si queres un RIO o alguien que vuele el F-14 avisame que ando con ganas de volar en un server mp. English: The AIM-54 in STT works as a fox 1, it never goes active by itself. Its guided by the AWG-9 until impact. In TWS the WCS gives the order to go active, it doesn't do it by itself.

I guess the right engine bug isn't fixed? I had it recently in a mp server after beeing shot down, leaving the server and rejoining didn't fix it. Left engine started normaly.

But I'm online. It keeps giving me the same error. I can even play online and the only aircraft that doesn't work is the F-16. I've bought it through steam and made the ED Steam accounts link. It worked fine until a few days ago. EDIT: Ok, I had to transfer the license again, and now its working fine again. Strange.

Great! The lights in DCS are almost non existent and useless.

It would be a really good feature if DCS could have an improved ECM functionality. Even if its not so close to how it works in real life it would improve the gameplay a lot. DCS its supposed to be a simulator after all and to not have ECM is very unrealistic.

I know, I didn't understand what MobiSev was referring to. It would be nice if ED implement an improved ECM in DCS. Its been a long time since I don't fly FC3 but I remember it was "working" with its very basic functionality maybe 2 years ago, its still a thing or they completely removed it?

I didn't see the jamming working. What are you talking about? It only was blinking when it turned on but the ECM needs to be modeled in each plane. You are talking about the RWR? That wasnt jamming, that was the pod understanding from where the enemy radars come from.

Multiplayer is BRUTAL in the air quake servers. You need to try to force the enemy to fight by your rules. If your beeing shot a lot in the mountains by IR missiles, then don't go there, or don't be predictable. Also try to use AWACS to build your situational awarness.

LOL. And don't forget to arm the master arm.

On launch I get a window which says: Authorization failed Authorization is valid for 2d 23h 59m The following DLCs are not authorized and will be disabled: F-16C bl.50 DCS version 2.5.5.38140 Is anyone else having this problem?

There's nothing wrong in those videos. As the previous poster said, if you shoot a cold enemy you need to be way closer to it. The F-14 Aim 7 its a <10nm on hot aspect.

Obviously depends on a lot of factors, but right now is good below 8nm hot aspect. It also should be a good close range missile but I think it has some problems and doesn't look to turn very well. I think its underperforming and having the aim-54 in stt as a fox 1 its useless (almost)

There are 2 pods. AN/AAQ-13 (navigation) and AN/AAQ-14 (targeting). The navigation pod was for the F-15E and F-16.

Its a bug. Of course its in AUTO, he should be intelligent enough to keep TWS when told to decrease the scaning distance. Specially when we're going to fire missiles. If I tell jester to go with RWS or TWS he maintains the radar mode all the time, the problem is in AUTO. I forgot to mention this on the OP

I remember my first flight with the F14, I broke the INS before the minute of flight, and then I broke the wings lol. The problem is when you transition from FBW to the F14, your muscle memory will kill you. Now I feel the F18 is really non responsive specially on the roll axis and I find it arcade and boring (the flight model, not the weapon systems). Now I fly the F14 most of the time.

Yes volumetric clouds would be very nice but I'm waiting for the whole dynamic weather overhaul. ATM its so bad and very simplistic. If you want rain you need to generate zones with very low pressure and a lot of wind. The new weather system with humidity parameters will be very welcome.

No. Right now the AIM 54 its a fire and forget weapon. When HB fixes the behaviour of the missile it will be guided by the AWG-9 until it comands to go active (blinking timer on TID). By that time I hope Jester use the radar as it should.

Jester doesn't use the radar, it only pushes buttons. Also he's very bad at switching between RWS and TWS. As a pilot you need to work double since Jester doesn't do his job well. You should tell him if he should use TWS or RWS, never use auto. Also you need to tell him where to look, he's very VERY lazy and doesn't use the radar to search and/or track targets. For elevation you can tell him to look at a certain distance and altitude, the low / mi-low / mid ... options are not the best option in most cases. I hope this Jester lazyness gets fixed because right now we have more work to do as pilots with this AI than we have in the F-18 flying alone.

This bug has been since the begining and its really annoying. Jester changes to RWS from TWS when told to change the scaning distance. Always when I'm going to shoot in TWS I tell jester to change from 100nm to 50nm on the TID and BAM! All the targets lost and now I'm on RWS and jester as always forget to do his job.

Its almost 2020. We aren't talking about a 1990 game.

Sorry I think I read it wrong on the manual. I did score some hits in flood mode, its easier to shoot the missile but its a little more difficult to maintain the target on the flood zone, but theoretically you can save the shot if you lose him for a moment.

Sorry I wrote fast at work and forgot about the 63 channels apart. One sets the channel between 1 and 63 and the other sets the channel of the other aircraft + 63. If one sets 10 the other then sets to 73 (same band).

When you lose the target lock it should switch to flood and you should be able to guide it with CW flood.
