There is a certain skill involved when flying F14, in comparison M2000 flies itself...
-
So i noticed that 1 of those ticks on BDHI is slightly offset by 10 degrees by comparison to others (bottom ones are also evenly spaced 45 degrees). Is it bug ? Or was it on real plane?

ability to enter length and heading associated with waypoints on TID
The_Tau replied to The_Tau's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
@BreaKKer and what does it do exactly? -
So the datalink is the problem then. So thats not really F14 but Supercarrier issue, which also got troubles with like TACAN stopping to work or wrongly calibrated ACLS for F14.
-
Hmm good question, it can also apply to F14 (pulse STT) or sabre (gun radar, i assume its also pulse). But I think from radar perspective in tight beam you can clearly see the difference between target and then ground behind it. In F14 on DDD its visible to see both target and Ground clutter. Now its different thing if target its literally 1 M above ground and if radar can still track it.

I think airfield rearmament is THE asked feature for ME. For years. People would love model supply convoys or cargo planes. And it still doesnt work. You cant late activate a bunker or resupply it. It would be available from start, all you can do is destroy it, destroying supplies in it. So Alphen did what was the only option. If objective is met then whole airfield gets "activated", but obviously this solution is limited by airfield number
-
It should say which mode it uses. Mode I is for auto land, Mode II is for flying the needles and Mode III is for pure verbal azimuth and glideslope information to the pilot. Page 22 in SC manual. But in instant mission I think it says Mode II and yet you can still activate autoland

DLC switch IS countermeasure button as well (same button). Whenever its flares or chaff, its set by Jester/RIO (be default flares). When flaps are up, then DLC works as countermeasure button, when flaps down then it engages DLC. Its explained here in manual: http://www.heatblur.se/F-14Manual/general.html?highlight=dlc#id6

My (expensive) solution to this is having multiple modules, so if planes are taken I can fly heli or be commander for some time Aside of being good teamplayer it also makes you refresh your other modules so you dont lose knowledge how to fly them
-
Hmm what about other stuff like emergency Gear (& hook) used - cannot be reset (includes NWS) - Jester decides to eject - no new Jester or canopy on repair Engine FIre - flames seem to remain "glowing" after repair Flaps (over G) They dont seem to be repaired by ground crew
-
Personally as pilot I only use flares and I leave chaff to jester. To defeat radar guided missiles I try to be more precise with my flying (notching, hill etc.) Jester does drop chaff, its just he is quite conservative with it. Chaff in DCS is really effective in perfect notch anyway, it doesn't do much if your position is wrong (eg. its useless if you above enemy)

Better Smoke V22 for DCS 2.9
The_Tau replied to Taz1004's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
@Taz1004exactly that. Anyway to disable it? -
Su27 is by far best modelled in FC3 pack. And its a fun plane, even though a bit lacking firepower vs F18,F16 (but its 80s tech vs 2000s)
-
Thank you for clarification. Considering its FC3 plane than, probably sooner we would see FC4 than any updates to this module...

MiG 29 Throttle Problem - Going Nuts (Thrustmaster Hotas X)
The_Tau replied to mongrel30's topic in MiG-29 for DCS World
Sometimes for me I have to "sync" my controls with ingame inputs. Just move throttle forwards and full back. Otherwise game thinks throttle is in middle even though my hotas is full back -
is that override limiter even working in mig29a?
-
Airbreak do not deploy with gear down
-
I made a thread in Supercarrier Bug section, please if you can provide track (no MODS!) with this bug, please post it there
-
Thats why I suggested Dubai Palm Islands or Flood area north of Qeshm Island. Seem much more interesting and more survivable for helicopters than open seas
-
Hmm I never had an issue with sling loading (surprisingly) and in cases where i did crash it was 100% my fault so... I love slingloading now, and frankly I wish there would be more of it Adds something different and quite rare in multiplayer, with lots of pressure, making successful haul much more satisfying. I would say its a fair challenge to unlock "premium" planes like F14 or Mig29. Maybe some mission to capture crate from middle of map? @AlpenwolfWhat about idea of new mission marines oriented. Take some map with lots of water and islands (Persian Dubai Palm islands perhaps?) with amphibious vehicles like LAV-25 vs BTR-82

Better Smoke V22 for DCS 2.9
The_Tau replied to Taz1004's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
Or is there easy way to disable it? -
Top crate in the radio list is the closest one. You can activate crate some distance away and smoke will pop up marking activated crate. To hook it you need to be very close to crate if landed, like 1-2m or directly above it and hover it for like 5-10s. You can activate sling load "graph" to help you align if hovering. or you can also look out of window. There are bindings in controls for those two options
-
Hmm I slingload on that mission multiple times as Blue and Red. I never had any problems with it, except when I had multicrew in my UH1, but I think its visual glitch only. and Nalchik is red at mission start

Better Smoke V22 for DCS 2.9
The_Tau replied to Taz1004's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
Mod is awesome, it just looks amazing, but I have I question. @Taz1004 Whats with the ring of dust smoke around unit when it dies? Its not there in vanilla and i think it looks a bit silly when in tank on tank engagement. In vanilla tank simply takes on fire and start burning while, with mod it takes fire and "explodes" with dust smoke around it. I think dust smoke should appear when unit actually explodes and turns into wreak.
