I think it's a good idea to bring this up as work is being done on the HMD as we speak. We currently miss two small items that could bring us closer to a more complete HMD in DCS. The first is the time window, which shows the time as displayed on the hud. You can see it on the bottom left side of the HMD here: The second is the ATC notification, when the ATC is on, which can be shown here:

Yeah, we shouldn't expect anything, as it shouldn't be a major content patch (it's not a monthly one).

Are you saying most online servers have zero winds?

It's not implemented

Tracers are a very cool addition to DCS. It's awesome, and I'm glad it's in the game. However, I don't think it's the default loadout used by real-life pilots today. It might be just my opinion, but I think that as long as we are not getting additional types of rounds, the default round type should be changed to 'no tracers', instead of the one called 'default', which is basically the same with the addition of yellow tracers.

I don't think boxing or unboxing it will change anything. The JTAC is another system. The coordinates the JTAC gives you are not affected by boxing precise.

Thank you very much, guys. I didn't know that.

I want to better understand which contacts do and which don't end up being displayed on the HMD. As Wags said, the HMD will display 7 D\L contacts in total, not necessarily 7 in the field of view. I think it's safe to say that it doesn't select them randomly. ED/Devs/community managers/testers - if you could share this with us it would be great!

I think this was changed in the update today. impalor, can you confirm?

Which is exactly why I posted the video from 2003-4.

Carriers have specific radio callsigns. When you initially talk to the ATC in DCS, it will always refer to the carrier as 'Courage' ("401, Courage marshal, case III recovery, ....."), which is the callsign for the Stennis if I'm not mistaken. It seems to me that the ATC should use the actual callsign of the carrier when you initiate the CASE III\II sequence. Track is attached. incorrect carrier callsign.trk

There shouldn't be. Afaik, unless in CQ, you won't be assigned an altitude to hold at from marshal.

As much as I tried, I couldn't replicate this in DCS. IN RNG is always much closer to the target and the pull-up cue is much closer to the VV.

This is a recording of Hornets strafing in 91 (gulf war). I think this is something we can use to compare:

That's the problem... I don't think you can. I can't figure out why it is even possible for the offset cursor to leave the DDI display without an indication of where it's at. The more I read about it the more I'm convinced that the ATFLIR offset video shows how it should work for all pods that have the offset function.

It's worth mentioning that the IN RNG marker isn't static. I've seen a few strafing videos of it near the 7 o'clock position. The one in DCS also isn't static. I think what should be brought to their attention is the distance between the pull-up cue and the VV.

Yeah, looks like it. Thanks.

This is a rather old bug that popped back recently. Basically, when you look at the S/A or HSI page as you approach a WP, the icon (small circle/dot) of the WP will shift and move away from the original location, eventually drifting away from the sequence line. to better understand this, take a look at the track file attached. Pay close attention to the HSI/SA as I get near the WP. WP icon sliding.trk

Moving the TDC above the top of the radar scope, and then back inside in under 0.2~ seconds will bump range. The opposite will reduce the scan range.

Well, then if it doesn't - how are you supposed to know if it's in range or not? Aiming for a higher target should affect the maximum rage when released from a certain altitude.

Since this is the version the Spanish air force is using, I think they paid the US government

Nothing new was introduced. It's been like that for a while.

It does, and A/G mode can't be caged so that might help. However, if Gripes has wind coming only from the west (blowing from 2-7-0 to 0-9-0) the position of the reticle in the mission is wrong. If the wind is coming from the left side of his hud, it means the bullets will drift to the right over time. If that's the case, the reticle should be on the right side of the target, forcing him to correct to the left and place the barrel to the left of the target. When you watch the video, you see his piper is shown on the left side of the target. In that case, placing the piper over the target (moving the plane and the barrel to the right) will make the drift more severe.

Why should it? It only moves sideways to account for wind. It won't move up and down on your hud, since it has the range cale. There's no point. And as for how the system works in real life, there are many videos online showing footage of the gun being used.

I think it's fair to ask for a status on units that were initially teased months ago. The 57 was only shown on his recent Viper video.
