  1. We don't have the DTC just yet so perhaps for now it's taking coordinates from the GPS, as a sort of bypass until we get the DTC, but I have no idea. The INS right now seems to be a pretty big mess and works using witchcraft lol.
  2. If the GPS isn't working, then maybe the aircraft is not getting initial coordinates (WPT0) for alignement. I can't test this out but maybe punching in waypoint 0 coordinates would make it work.
  3. Look at your waypoint 0 coordinates, their at N0° and E0°. The map is being displayed but probably no where near where your INS thinks you are. It thinks you are in the Sahara desert which is most likely why your waypoint is 3603NM away. Could this be the beginning of a realistic INS ?
  4. My RIO told me it would keep receiving guidance corrections if the target was lost then reacquired after a couple of seconds, glad you got that out of the way, thanks. Although I'm not sure it does that in DCS, I'd have to check.
  5. Thank you. You answered part of the second question you quoted, do you know if that intercept point keeps being updated even after the host radar lost the track periodically ?
  6. I was more worried about phoenix guidance when switching from TWS to STT or TWS Auto to TWS Man. Also, I have done testing, I know what to expect in game from the phoenix and what happens when I switch modes. My questions are aimed strictly at real airframe capabilities, which are very different from the ones of the module in this area right now. Makes testing in game rather unhelpful.
  7. I'll reformulate : Is it possible in the real airframe to switch from TWS Auto to TWS Man or PD-STT while guiding a phoenix and not loose guidance ? Currently in game, it seems like you keep it. While guiding a phoenix, will loosing a track in TWS Auto then reacquiring it almost immediatly trash the missile ? Didn't test that too much in game but it seems that when this happens the missile leaves Loft and goes straight for the target. Does launching in PD-STT mean the phoenix will use SARH all the way to the target and NEVER go active even if you command it to and/or if the lock is lost ? Lastly, What is required for a missile to be commanded active ? Can you command a missile to go active even if you've lost the target ?
  8. Thank you, but that doesn't really answer my questions ^^. I'm more after the how it should be rather then how it is.
  9. It'll be more like 200$ in the US, less taxes. EDIT : Considering it doesn't even come with a base, it'll be very expensive for people who don't have the warthog already.
  10. Perhaps a dev or someone with documentation could kindly shed some light on these questions. I can rephrase them if something isn't clear.
  11. Can the version of the F1 we're getting (EE or CE, can't remember) carry the S530F ?
  12. Depends on your IPD, yours is 67mm which is why you're seeing a slight reduction but less then what I and others have experienced. I have a 70mm IPD and definitely guarantee that I lost at least 9-10° of FOV, it's what I got when I getto measured it (and yes I had the headset pressed in all the way). EDIT : nvm my test, doesn't work. Sorry.
  13. I've seen those white flashes occasionally as well, I've also had complete crashes of the tracking cameras which I noticed by entering passthrough and only seeing "static". I'll reinstall the Oculus software and drivers completely, also switch DP on my graphics card.
  14. With my IPD of 70mm I can't say i'm not dissapointed at the FOV reduction using the Rift S, seems like I lost around 10° on each side compared to my Rift. It seems that the edge of the screen is very blurry too. It took just about as much time tinkering with the headset than setting up sensors which sort of negates there ease of use selling point for me at least. The sound is also awful, but I was expecting that and there is an audio jack so I anticipated the problem. I still won't be sending mine back though, the readability increase and easier spotting make up for those issues, which are still a shame, but i'll get used to them I guess.
  15. Thank you. So changing modes will make the host loose the missile(s) meaning it won't even be able to make them go active ok. Are you sure that's the case with PD-STT though ? Which can provide guidance to the 54, maybe only via Datalink instead of reflected energy and Datalink if STT is used at launch since the missile wouldn't have been setup for it. That answers one of my questions. I am very much looking forward to TWS Auto :).
  16. Hello ! I was asking myself a couple of questions the other day that were not answered after a quick search in the manual. First one is, will the AIM-54 receive guidance signals if the radar is switched from TWS auto to TWS man after launch ? And in the future would that switch mean that the RIO will loose the ability to make the missile go active ? Second (well technically third :D) is, will guidance signals still be sent to the AIM-54 if the track was dropped then reacquired in TWS ? If it's not the case can you still command the missile to go active ? Last one, can you go PD-STT after having launched a phoenix in TWS or after the track was lost then reacquired in TWS and still have it guide on target ? That's it, all of these answered would sort out some confusion about what RIOs should do after launching a phoenix to make sure it gets delivered whatever might happen. Cheers, Rex.
  17. Which is now not used by multiplayer servers that see any kind of traffic and isn't used by the people who don't play much singleplayer. Which means, those people at least, won't even bother with this carrier module. Such a waste of good work to lock people out of servers if they don't have the module. The one's who enjoy multiplayer, unless they host their own private sessions with few people (and few, if they are also fond of MP, means 1 or 2 people) and exclude some of their friends, won't be enjoying the module to it's fullest if they manage to use it at all. I'm not saying it should be free, simply not restrictive. Also I don't get why the ATC part isn't considered a core item even though it touches every single carrier capable aircraft (and yes I am perfectly aware there is only two right now but considering they're very popular modules and that more will be coming means it has it's importance). I mean come on the ATC on the stennis isn't even capable of giving a proper BRC why won't this be ported to other carriers ??? Anyways, quite dissapointed by this decision because this new and improved carrier ATC won't be standardized and because it'll lock people out of servers meaning it won't see much use outside of singleplayer. I will not buying the carrier module because I play a lot of multiplayer (especially since the tomcat), on a private server with the VEAF or on bigger public servers, which certainly won't be using the carrier module as to not exclude anyone meaning it'll be useless. And not just for me, I'm no isolated case. Rex
  18. Hello ! Multiple people have posted on this forum (it is also stated in the manual) about P-STT and the unability in this mode to send guidance signals to the AIM-54, although it seems like they are being sent in DCS. I am able to guide AIM-54s on target just like I would in PD-STT and without the missile seeker itself acquiring lock just after launch. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3867885&postcount=19 One good document which says that in P-STT, the phoenix is only available in active, which I suppose means it'll rely on it's own seeker for guidance although I'm not certain of that. The OG post is also a reference to the manual which states P-STT does not send guidance signals. Track attached. Hope you crush this :). Cheers, Rex.
  19. He switches to the TCS intermittently when you have acquired a TCS lock and since you can't have both the TCS and TID (or TID repeater) displayed at the same time this is why you get the blackouts.
  20. Why would you want an AIM-7F ? Take the AIM-7M, which will probably be the latest version version we get on the cat, has better electronics, better ECCM,... then the F. Also the low PK during the vietnam war was due to the host radars and missiles themselves being a lot worse.
  21. So to answer your question, P-STT is better for guiding AIM-7s because the host radar can't get notched, the missile can be but that's much much harder to pull off for the defendant. PD-STT allows you to lock at longer ranges and is usually more reliable but you can get notched so I'd suggest going PD-STT, then switching to P-STT a minute or so before firing just in case you loose him completely when going from a mode to another.
  22. I've had 8 crashes in one night as a human RIO, trust me on this, it definitely still crashes and crashes a lot more often when ground clutter (even if in a Doppler mode) is processed. Jester accounts for the random crashes probably, the ones unrelated to PAL or STT. This is just a theory, how the returns are processed, how deep the simulation is, I've got no idea but I really don't see why, in my case and for a couple other people and friends I know, locking a bandit lower when he's over sea makes me crash less often then when he's over land other then ground returns being involved. You get a lot less over sea, close to none.
  23. I don't think there was any changes for the F-14 today. Maybe a member of the HB will come by and post the changelog if there is one.
  24. I'm thinking it's got to do with ground clutter because my chances of crashing when locking over sea are considerably lower (like 5% of times when locking using PAL or going STT) compared to over land where I crash 50% of the time. Didn't try to lock a targets above, someone if they have time should do extensive testing trying MLC in or MLC off, higher or lower, over land or over sea, this could nail it down.
