Anything Israeli (and modern) is a no-go for DCS. Israeli aircraft are heavily modified inside and out, and no information is publicly available to simulate in detail (even cockpit shots are OPSEC). The closest thing is a stock US made aircraft with an Israeli livery. It would be more reasonable to have Israeli assets as AI, with Python acting like Aim-9X, and Spice acting like JDAM.

MIDS messeges are just a number of pre set messeges in the legacy, and it has no keyboard of any kind, so you won't be able to type any. Those pages are blank because ED probably doesn't have a valid source describing the functionality of those systems. If they have no idea what it does, I think they should not try to guess.

Then stop watching the videos if it bothers you. Not everything they show is guaranteed for the next patch. You've been here more than a minute - you should know that.

Show it then. Because they simply iterate over every available target in the area - that doesn't have anything do to with D\L.

They have SME's to fill in the holes in the documentation especially for that. I can name a few instances in which such SME's were very helpful in fixing some bugs \ issues.

Apperantly they do not have a lot of available sources to work with, as they got the type of target lines wrong. Saying "ED should have this documentation" is like saying "I don't have any valid document". It doesn't because it has to be coded, and you don't know that ability was coded in. Who said this capability of the AI to know who is targeting what, is not limited to a section of aircraft? You are implying a handoff (AI aircraft sending a target to another AI aircraft). That never happened in the video. They happen to end up attacking the same target. They could have just launched an AGM-65F at their first pair, and then targeted the remaining targets in the area, which happened to be the one targeted by the AI flying with Wags.

If you have the documentation, send it to the development team. That could help everyone. You said they know how to automatically slave their sensors to shared target points, which is not what they are doing.

I'm suspecting he doesn't let the ground crew finish rearming him, and takes off with an extreme assymetric load each and every time.

If this is based on real documents rather than opinions, send it to the team. As for the AI - it uses a standard logic that has nothing to do with D\L

When I say "The Hornet", I mean the DCS version. We can't slave sensors to a ground target shared by someone else, as it seems.

You can't snap to a D\L target in the Hornet. The AI doesn't use some magic code to do it. It uses the same old targeting logic to avoid conflicting with their wingman \ lead only (it just went to the next available target, which happened to be targeted by the wingman of Wags). You are more than welcome to prove me wrong when the patch is out.

You can't tell that from the video. It's more likely that they have absolutely no idea who is targeting what, and accidentally target the same objects.

That's not accurate.. just post the track.

Would not be a sim otherwise.

It's a sim. That's the reason why even design flaws should be replicated. Don't you think?

Probably with the next open beta update, which should be jan 27th.

Offset should work (or be implemented) differently than the offset function in the DCS version of the litening pod. We have available video footage this time of the ATFLIR offset function being used, so I guess that should help.

I hope so, since HRM OVRD exists and is marked always.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the podcast is not about the Hornet at all. The guy talking mentions landing, being in the right seat and having a co-pilot. They are flying a helicopter. I don't think that justifies a bug report, as the Hornet uses DD:MM:SS.SS for JDAMS.

The question is if they had cyclic ops in mind when building the module itself. I don't think it's something they considered.

To do this, you don't NEED the ability to place a markpoint (of all things) on lead's target. There are other, more useful ways to do it in DCS. Also, I would not count on that system alone in a dynamic CAS situation. You need to know that your sensors point at the correct target.

Most things are already pre loaded into the jet IRL. Why would you need to create a markpoint over a target of one of your buddies?

It was confirmed by Wags some time ago that it's not a feature of the Hornet. There might be a mix up with TXDSG, which should apply to A/G targets.

Fantastic! thanks

Did ED really say it's going to be implemented? That sounds amazing!
