UFC works as well.

They add more drag (than a standard, non canted configuration). AFAIK drag has an impact on performance. Do you know why those pylons are canted?

Where? Watching his video, he levels at 0.6-0.5NM

Are you not counting the canted pylons?

For CASEIII, each flight member should talk to the SC. It will assign the holding and push time for each member individually.

I think it should switch between the two when you press D/L again. That's how it was described in NATOPS.

Today we learned that wands are soon going to be added to the deck crew, which is great. My request is to make sure to iron out the issues related to transitioning between day/night operations, before the release of this feature. I request the basic transition between day and night operations to be seamless from a user prespective. This means that both the ATC and the deck crew should know to switch between the two, use the correct communication script and equip\unequip the wands accordingly. I'm worried that unless this is done, we might see bugs (like the ground crew not using wands at all) in missions that start during the day and progress into the night.

It has been reported.

Also, it's worth mentioning Switft's comment above is accurate as far as video evidence goes. There are many clips from cruise videos showing a box around one of the laser codes. It might be a misunderstanding of what the UFC option does, and when it is available.

Just to add up to number 8: No. They do not function even remotely close to their real life versions, obviously.

You really should back that up by calculations.

Yeah, that's ED's mission. In this mission the jet is not equipped with a targeting pod (can't turn it on if it's not mounted on the jet). You can also use the stores page or external view to understand what's mounted on the jet. No you don't have to carry or use the TGP at all to fire this missile. It's laser guided, so someone has to lase the target. You can use the TGP to lase for yourself, but in this case Darkstar (the JTAC) is supposed to lase for you, so no TGP is required.

What is the exact name of the mission? In ED's 65E training mission the jet is not equipped with a targeting pod, so you can't turn it on.

Yes! We've had this since the latest patch. I tried to pick apart our mission to see if it's one of our scripts or mods that causes it, but it happens in SP as well and in sterile environments (no scripts, no mods). From my side, it looks like the deck is jittering vertically as well (check F9 view)

Yeah it's not the new FLIR.

TGP offset and accurate tracking modes

Just a reminder - not all units were adjusted to look "right" when viewed through FLIR. In fact, no airframe except the Apache was adjusted. They all use their RoughMet texture as FLIR texture (even the hornet in the apache trailer). Don't confuse this bug with the wip state of the system.

Agreed it looks inverted. Thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

The other way around. When the default VFA-37 livery is used as a place holder, instead of a custom livery that is not installed on your machine, it is displayed with all of the available modex types, as shown by OP. That's the issue.

Happens in MP. If I use a livery that you don't have installed, you will see it like I'm using the 37 livery with the excessive modex types as shown by OP.

You are aiming for the ICLS markings on the HUD, which you shouldn't do (also try to be on speed when you approach). Not sure how it is in real life, but in DCS the ICLS is good enough to bring you to a point in which you can identify and work with the IFLOLS. According to the IFLOLS, you are low, which is correct. Also, to be fair, IFLOLS tells you what's wrong and how to fix it, just like ICLS does.

Last time it happened to me, I took off anyways just to have any other AI in the mission (ATC, tankers and so on) completely ignore me. That might be related.

If anything, it's the other way around.

Looking at that glowing tape won't make their hand gestures more clear. That's why people complain. It's a very basic function of the lighting of this module.

Doing it properly, with no NVG or taxi light, is extremely difficult because of that.
