Let's ignore the fact that OP is wrong here for a minute. You have no sources to back it up other than the way it feels, and you never mentioned what is wrong in your opinion. Don't you think different companies implement systems in different ways? Do you think its right to compare it to the A-10C, which has a HOTAS based on pilot feedback from previous aircraft (namely the F16)?

What you are describing is the equivalent of using markpoints. This thread is about wether or not the implementation of the offset in the DCS LITENING is accurate, especially since it doesn't offset the pod at all. A better example of this is the ATFLIR offset, as shown in the video Swift linked.

You don't, but I have to. I'm limited to 300Mb per livery, otherwise I won't be able to upload them to ED's website.

You don't have to lase for yourself because the pod does that for you. You will almost never lase manually for yourself in DCS. Only for someone else. And even if you don't buddy lase, it's another way help your wingman slew the pod to the correct target (LSS).

Are you asking what's the point of manually lasing? Marking targets for another pilot is a good example.

When trigger is boxed, pulling the trigger will manually lase. No pull- no laser is fired. However, when you launch a weapon - it will automatically lase for you. The steps to launch the AGM65E are as I explained above. Just press and hold the pickle. The pod will start lasing, and when the missile tracks it will leave the rail. Let go of the pickle and the pod will continue to lase until impact + 5/10 seconds. Read what I wrote above again. Since day one, any AGM (65F/65E/88.) has priosity over the TGP when it comes to the HOTAS, doesn't matter which one has the sensor priority (diamond). So you can't use the FOV switch to control the TGP FOV if any AGM is displayed on any display.

Slew the TGP instead and designate a new target?

Issue 1: The TGP will lase automatically for each laser guided weapon. What you should do instead is press and hold pickle. The TGP will start lasing, the missile will then track and launch. Let go of the pickle only after whe weapon is fired. I believe Chuck's guide doesn't cover the latest changes to the TGP. Issue 2: That's intended.

Planned for later in EA

When you set the ampcd to night and increment the contrast manually, each press of the rocker should translate to one contrast stage (going up to 9). However, it takes two clicks to get past level 4. Edit: when the AMPCD is set to day, and the rocker controls the auto contrast - it takes two clicks to get past level 5. Mind the typo in the title. It should be contrast. ampcd cont stages issue.trk

Possible issue with LTWS and MSI Referring this video: LTWS + MSI should display HAFU symbols, unless the target is painted only by your radar. I recently noticed that I get the HAFU symbols only if my radar doesn't track the target at all, and when it does (doesn't matter how many other donors see the targets) the HAFU instantly changes to a brick. The attached track is of a mission with one AI wingman, and one AWACS that is set up correctly. The S/A page works fine and displays the right contacts and information from donors. Notice how the bricks change to HAFUS and vice versa as I move the vertical scan limitations. ltws with msi.trk

Orot Rabin is a power station, lcoated roughly 6km north west of Hadera, which is the last Israeli city to be included in the map. It is also the biggest power station in Israel. The structure itself is easily identified by the four tall chinmies and the very long pier. The pier is used for unloading coal from cargo ships, and transporting it into the station compound. The station area is already in DCS, although it is missing the pier and the chimnies. Why am I bothering you with it? The three most important Israeli assets on this side of the map are: Ramat David Haifa oil refinery and port area Orot Rabin power station Having those accurately modelled in the sim provides opportunities for both the blue (defend those sites) or the red (attack those sites) sides.

But they weren't included on release, which makes this a legitimate thread.

Ramat David should have all the equipment modern millitary airfields use, including ILS and Tacan.

You got upwind and downwind wrong. Oh and yes, its' because you need more practice. Common mistake for new people is to try and land on the carrier immediately. This will never go well. Learn to fly the pattern, learn to land on an airfield and land to fly ON SPEED before you start practicing case I recoveries.

Bang on? You have control over the aircraft. If the bank angle is not what you want, move the stick accordingly. If the rate of descent is not matching the numbers you want - use the throttle. React and adapt to the conditions and circumstances.

Let's break it down: 1. "The map is far from completion". How would you know? Are you a closed beta tester? It looks very close to being complete. 2. "Not mentioning the lack of Cyprus". Cyprus was originally not planned, but was recently confirmed as a future addition. 3. "Catastrophic sales of the Channel map". How would you, or I, or anyone know? We don't have access to that information. 4. "Weak sake because of the absence of Cyprus?" Respectfully, Cyprus has only one base that is relevant to this map. The bigger problem we had originally is that the map didn't allow to place the carriers far enough from shore, which limited the scope of carrier ops in that map. So no, Cyprus isn't that much of an attraction to cause the map to sell less.

It's a massive compound. Here's a good view of it when the airplane turns around for final: Those chimneys can really light up the sky.

The airport was there four years before they started building the refinery. Although both were expanded with time, the British mandate is credited for the original construction of the refinery and the airport. They are listed in the airport charts as obstacles.

Switch to A/G mode.

If you are not letting go of the stick, what stops you from correcting it back to where you want it to be?

Dear Ugra, While watching this video I was seriously impressed by the level of details, unique buildings and overall attention to details of Haifa and the surrounding area. However, I could not help but notice one of the major landmarks of the city was missing. I'm talking about the refinery cooling towers. Compare your approach to the runway: to this one of a 172: or this one: to get a sense of their size. They are 270 feet tall. This is probably the easiest way to recognize the Haifa refinery compound (which is one of the most strategic positions on this map), and it can't be missed while approaching the airport. It is also widely recognizable by anyone who lived or grew up in the city - you can say it's one of the symbols of the city. The refinery even used to light the area during the night: https://media.sciencephoto.com/c0/03/71/67/c0037167-800px-wm.jpg Also - as a side note, the top part of one of them recently collapsed: https://www.ynet.co.il/PicServer5/2020/06/12/10030562/100305610992499640360no.jpg I think it will be really nice of you guys to consider adding it in the future.

Looks comparable to me ...

You would be bothered by weather in DCS only if it's not a pre planned strike. If you are expecting to scan an area, find targets with the radar and then engage - they better be big and distinguishable (runway, bridge, sam site), otherwise you just won't be able to tell what you are looking at.

Has over? Isn't DBS like EXP1/2?
