HawkDCS

Thanks!

The problem for me is I have missed multiple times on large non maneuvering targets. When you are closing at 1200Vc and within 5Mi at Angels 30 then fire and miss something is wrong. Just for laughs I shot an AIM 7M at 5 NM and missed the Russian Awacs that wasn't maneuvering backed off to same range shot an Aim 9M and killed it first shot. It is in no way performing as a MRM or BVR missile its acting like a Sidewinder and frankly its even worse right now. I guess we wait until Spamram is out cause the 7s are just worthless. This worries me about the F14 since thats all it can carry other then Aim 54.

Just throw full burner on one side and get it slow full rudder opposite stick.

You got it to come down? On a side note how do you put the intake covers and pitot covers on? I saw pics earlier of it parked with these all on wondered if it can be done in sim?

I wonder what it would take to get a new profile. I am at 21:9 resolution getting 50-60Fps with about 60% usage. Would love a proper driver.

Ah ok. Saw some people talking about them for A/B on carrier take off wondered what was going on.

Do I need to map this? When I push my Warthog throttle full forward it seems I am getting full A/B so I am wondering what this is for or how I know I am getting maximum thrust.

Well I made a few tracks. One where all 4 missed even at less then 12. I fired every two miles to only have them skew off into random directions. How do I upload a track?

Thanks!

Seems like once your over Mach 1.2 you cant bring engines down in RPM just select A/B on and off? Is this just normal for the engines to stabilize thrust or is this a bug. Feel free to test if you take bird up to Mach 1.5 FL350 then idle throttles the A/B turns off but turbines stay 99% till you slow down quite a bit. Is this normal? Does it have some thing to do with 18 not having intake ramps?

You need to use selective jett. Rotate the knob to the right RACKS position then select the stations on the buttons next to the engine information check master arm on then press the red jett button.

Ya I noticed at about Angels 24 it was only getting up to about 1400KTS but I didn't know if that was KIAS or TAS etc. I don't know if it actually does Mach 4 at lower ALTs either maybe its only at FL400 or something.

Message I think should go away after a bit. But just isn't yet.

Same issue.

This is a bug with not being able to reload the A/C in game AFAIK. I have it aswell.

Do you have to do the FCS test every start up what if you skip it?

Thats what I don't know. I usually have OK performance with them in 15. They don't just fail to track and go flying off. That being said the 15 is alot faster then the 18 so I imagine I am giving them alot more range since M1.5+ is no biggie in 15 and 18 takes ages to even get 1.2 etc. I am going to build a test mission tomorrow with 15 and 18 and 7Ms and see what the results are. Just same targets same launch speeds and see what I get. That being said I have noticed some bugs with F18 RDR. Many times I will STT lock and the steer cue will be edge of the hud so I turn that way and it will jump to opposite side and back like the radar cant figure out target bearing. Also it seems if you turn at all when you hit the TDC lock button the radar just loses the target completely. Seems like it takes the RDR a bit when you hit TDC Lock to actually lock the target like its thinking and if you move at all for these few seconds even gentle bank it just loses the lock and u have to hit unlock and start over.

First of want to thanks ED and others for an incredible module. This is really going to be an amazing A/C once all the systems are in place. I wanted to bring up the Aim 7M performance? I have been shooting at SU25s and other A/C since we don't have 120 yet. That being said either the missiles lose lock at last second or ignore target completely. This can be seen in several YT videos including Grim Reapers. Is this a bug? I am in STT follow the steering dot and last few seconds of flight they just turn some random direction. Even on non maneuvering targets. Once in awhile they hit but even firing at friendlies even C130s on terminal portion of flight they will just skew off some crazy direction or fly right past while I still have good lock on STT. I would say this happens 3/5 times. They aren't getting lost in Ground Clutter etc these are clean high altitude shots going haywire. My second gripe is shown in Wags Aim 7 tutorial video. If you watch the video of him engaging the target he doesn't get an RNE until 5NM. This is at Angels 23 and 950Kts closure? The 7M is known to be over a 35Mi missile. I know this is a best case max range but 5Mi with 950Kts Vc??? I have missed enemy bombers at 7Mi with this missile at high altitude??? From my experience this missile is useless past 10 miles and many times it fails even on non maneuvering targets at less then 10Nm. I just did some tests tonight at Angels 30 when trying to hit an E3 we were co alt I have 300Kts closure and fired at 7Mi missile ran out of energy before it even got there lol. I know you can fire long before RNE but it misses so much of the time at this point theres no reason too. I understand missiles aren't death rays and alot of factors play into their range. That being said the ranges I have to be at for the Aim7 in the 18 I might aswell use Aim 9s cause I am basically in range.

Cant wait for this bird! Thanks for the hard work!

Is there a way to slew the Tpod to a way point? Or do you always have to just slew it down onto the spot your wanting to target? Thanks!

Awesome work! Thanks for the update can't wait!

Incredible work! I am speechless at the work you guys have done with this aircraft! Why does the airspeed indicator only go to M 1.6? Thought 14 could go to M 2.2 or more? Does it go to an inner scale or something after 1.6? Is it just due to it being in the RSO seat?

Thought I would post this here while we wait for this awesome module! GAU-12 Equalizer If this is off topic feel free to delete!

How would I remove the mod? Is there an uninstall guide?

Hey all, Failing integrity check on 104th now? I only have 104th Texture pack installed? Anyway around this or am I screwed. :(
