  1. Hi, I had a crazy audio problem yesterday, think it was related to SRS, not sure.

     

    But every now and again when someone talked over SRS the audio volume would jump to max for a few seconds, loud enough to get to the point I'd have to take my headphones off, absolutely deafening.

     

    Would seem to happen randomly, but only whenever someone started to talk over the radio.

  2. Well the installer said copying files from DCS 2 OpenAlpha, then proceeded to not to transfer anything, and is now downloading all 44Gb of stuff. Good thing I have 6 hours before I get home to let my slow internet chug away! Looking forward to more fun in the new version!

     

    I had the same thing, do you have your 1.5.8 and 2.2 installs on separate drives by any chance?

  3. By that I meant one of the following settings:

    B-F

    B-G

    B-H

    B-J

    B-K

     

    And I forgot: D and E instead of B also work. So I should have said: [b,D,E] - [F-K]. Please take a look at the picture I attached in my previous comment. It will make it more clear.

    You were in silent recording mode where no jamming signals are emitted ;)

     

    Ok I got you, but what I dont get is that the manual also states B as a warmup mode and A as automatic? Either way it confused the hell out of me, but now I know and will test later tonight :thumbup:

  4. Ok, the manual confused me

     

    U22 ECM pod

     

    Settings U22

     

    OFF: mode 0

     

    Automatic: mode A

     

    Standby (pre-heat): mode B

    Mode A/H: High sensitivity.

     

    » Mode A/J: High sensitivity.

    » Mode A/K: Automatic sensitivity cycling between mode A/G and A/J.

     

    • Active jamming modes B/F- E/K

     

    Pods will automatically emit when illuminated by a radar from the frontal aspect.

    I will try B-[F-K] though I don't understand how you can have 3 settings with only 2 dials??
  5. Hmm, interesting. The SAM shouldn't even be launched in the first place, if they can't get a lock onto you. Did you change your altitude during your attack run?

     

    When you tried jamming, can you confirm that the KB pod was actually emmiting (MOTVERK indication light on the warning panel lights up or flashes)?

     

    Yes it was emitting, think I was using setting A-K on the U22/A.

     

    I don't know if this is the correct setting though.

     

    And yes I kept my altitude very low, around 50m or below.

  6. I didn't find jamming to be any more effective.

     

    Just staying low seems to help. For some reason (with and without jamming), the SAM's will explode in mid air on the way towards me, is that what they do if they lose contact or some kind of bug?

     

    Either way, its only when this happened I was able to sneak in and get a launch and then escape very very quickly.

  7. I haven't tried that mission (I wasn't even aware that there is such a mission), but I have practised attacks against the Pyotr Veliki which is equipped with a navalised S300 SAM. I think the Moscow has the same SAM system?

     

    Initially I had no chance to even get in range for the RB04s (~30km), even when flying at 10m ASL. Then I tried to use the jammer pod, and this really did the trick. The jammer started jamming the ships radar as soon as it picked it up and that made it possible for me to get in weapon range and fire my RB04. I could get as close then 25km without even getting fired at. The problem here is, that the Jammer only works in a 60° arc to the front and as soon as I turned away from the ship it fired two missiles at me which shot me down. So the jammer really makes a difference.

     

    How do you jam and use the rbo4? Its on the same hard point?

  8. Same.

     

    I set up a simple landing mission with the jet pretty much on the approach.

     

    The whole thing lasted maybe 5 minutes.

     

    It pretty much when out of sync instantly, the track altitude was too high, it had me flaring at about 200m and dropping like a stone onto the runway. Amusing.

     

    I've had tracks record for maybe 5 10 mins, but I've had some lose sync before even taking off.

  9. will do if there are more suggested additions

     

    Thanks.

     

    Its funny I was inbound on a mission, and forgot the range of the RB04. So I was like "oh ok I'll check the weapons list", and it wasn't there.

    So then I was like "oh ok I'll check the procedures documentation" in the manual which i have conveniently, and its not there either :doh:

    I then had to quickly flip to the Weapons overview section to find it. :lol:

     

    Its about 25km if anyone wants to know :)

  10. Are you setting the QFE correctly?

     

    The training mission was bugged and giving out incorrect QFE numbers, in that case it never showed for me.

     

    Weapons mode - Attack

    Master mode - Nav

    Trigger unsafe

     

    Even with the way point mis-aligned I would at least get the first bomb point in the hud.

  11. Quick hi-jack while we are talking about targeting. Is the boresight on the when using the maverick correct, it seems too high to me? Actually when using any sight in ANF mode I have to duck right down in my chair to get anything on the HUD (yes its in the up position).

     

    Its making Mav shots difficult as I have to fly below the target, meaning i have less time to line up shots and pull out.
