  1. If it is related to the drive: Is the SSD maybe slowly dying caused by heavy usage in the past? I recently heard rumors that some SSD's slowly start producing failures after a certain period of time (or a certain number of reads/write hits?). Further i remember setting these, which helped me: Virus scanner, Windows internal virus protection Windows "Graphic settings" BIOS: disable C-states Just my two cents on this ...
  2. Hey guys, this bug is already tracked. If @Silhou would please confirm?
  3. Is this value calculated within a .lua script outside of hidden code or by the DLL itself? If its a lua, maybe its worth looking into it and correct it by rounding this radian value (if it is) to whole numbers?
  4. Hm, maybe its the difference between magnetic and true North (in radians)? Or just some MBVFMUS (math bullshidd value for maximum user confusion).
  5. Other question to devs: what is "RWY: 0.03929" ?
  6. Always ... if I have time to do so In this case Word killed about half of the references to the figures (they were dead, and therefore the numbering wasn't updated accordingly). Dammnn MS. I wasn't able to figure out the reason behind, but at least I found them a few weeks ago by accident and immediately I repaired them by hand. Dammnn MS.
  7. Hey widen! Thanks for your input, but can you please doublecheck, because the newest version (September 30th) has already been corrected. Thanks! Good input Machalot, thank you! I think I am going to rework this section a bit for the next update. Yup, thinking about the same as you.
  8. Hey guys! This time, I have just a small update of the RC2.1 for you. Update 2023-09-30: - page 283: Replaced "DIVEBOMB" with "BOMB DYK", thanks Machalot - page 285: Added detailed description of HUD for figures 208 and 209. - page 286: Added reference to "Fixed sight mode". - page 329: Reworked description of BX6 - Repaired broken references to many figures (numbering didn't match anymore, if you see one, please report thank you!) - Moved subchapter "Flight control system cockpit overview" from page 84 to page 80 (in RC2 Landing gear was a subchapter of flight controls, now it is a separate chapter). - Applied about a quarter zillion small text corrections here and there (note: only a quarter zillion, last update there were more corrections to do ... :biggrin:) Hafe vun and kind regards, TOViper
  9. Math says: (Kola map + Viggen) * Me = loss_of_contact_to_real_world_because_of_continuous_playing_DCS Bye bye real world
  10. Hey Machalot! I agree and have already corrected it (besides many other things ...). Thanks for the heads up!
  11. Erm ... what is this "workaround"? Can you elaborate please ... I have same problem with CV1... Thanks!
  12. Hey folks! Just want to post a nasty bug with current SRS version and the current Tomcat module, including the fix for it. If you play OB 2.8.8.43704 MP (MT version), and slot into the RIO cockpit of your fellow pilot, it might happen that your pilot stays in the "Spectators" list, but becomes visible in the RIO slot too (yes, that's weird). You will most probably then experience problems with SRS 2.0.8.6. when both pilots finally spawn. Solution: hop into any other slot that is not a spectator, then you should disappear from the "Spectators" list, then re-hop into the RIO slot of the Tomcat. This finally makes SRS work correctly. Test this with @QuiGon today evening. Kind regards!
  13. Hi Zabuzard! Thanks for digging into! Regarding the naming, I wrote my posting with the idea to avoid confusion for future pilots. What I had in mind was the following: The word "KONTROLL" could be added for the action referring to the test button in the cockpit on the right side (labelled "KONTROLL") , and the word "LAMPTABLA" chould be added for the action referring to the test button in the cockpit on the left side (labelled "KONTR LAMPTABLA"). I am 100% sure you understand that it's not the very best idea to use the word "KONTROLL" for the left test button, when the right button is labelled with exactly that expression. Why not labelling actions according to the labels in the cockpit? But the more important issue than the confusing naming is that the keybinding for the KONTR LAMPTABLA test (as written above) doesnt't work. Kind regards!
  14. Oh you people ... if I had the time to do that, I would, but since I don't have ... the "Computer says NO".
  15. Hey folks, thanks for kudos! Regarding the version numbering, the original idea was to create a new version with the RC2 as basis, so the decision was to cratee a RC2.1 (RC2 with just a few modifications according to the first updatelist). I didn't knew at that time if the manual would be accepted by Heatblur (to be put to the module officially). The most important thing to understand is the following: What you have now in hands is the manual RC2 in a state where I say: yeah, that's how I want my RC2.1 to be; having all repairs and changes implement. That's why I never changed the number, because when you compare RC2 with RC2.1, there is no major change in structure and style; in fact it is basically the RC2, but a bit "better". You can trash all versions you have downloaded so far, because ALL of them where BETA, this one now is not BETA anymore. Why? Damnit, spoiler alert ... P.S. Kodus to all of you who contributed in making this manual better!
  16. Hey guys! This time, RC2.1(beta) becomes RC2.1. Yes. Hafe vun! Update 2023-08-31: - page 17: Replaced "The AJS37 Viggen was developed..." with "The Viggen (AJ37 version) was developed ..." (initially this was correct in RC2, but I messed it up during editing, sorry my fault!) - page 32: Replaced "of the gas generator" with "of the engine" - page 45: Added text for the red ELFEL warning light : ", or the ground power is applied." - page 50: Replaced "Warning / Indicator table test" with "Indicator / Warning table test (KONTR LAMPTABLA)" according to the designation in the previous chapters, for better distinguishing of the two tests - page 50: Replaced "Indicator system test" with "Indicator system test (KONTROLL)" for better distinguishing of the two tests - page 56: Modified the engine limitations table slightly (thanks Machalot) - page 159: Moved section "Backup approach" to page 158 for didactic reasons - page 168: Moved section "Altitude hold warning" to page 167 for didactic reasons - page 173: "LS" now reads "LS SKU" - page 189: Moved section "Output of navigation data" to page 190 for didactic reasons - page 233: Replaced "Before engine start-up checklist (with ground power on)" with "Before engine start checklist (with ground power on)" - page 244: Moved section "Take-off on short runways" to page 243 for didactic reasons - page 250: Added missing "L MÅL" in sentence "Cycle runway headings by pressing ___ once or multiple times until the desired runway heading is displayed." - page 271: Rephrased section "Roll" slightly (let's see if it gets accepted ...) - page 373: Reworked all emergency procedures slightly - page 374: Reworked all emergency procedures slightly - page 373: Added picture for OPTIONS > SPECIAL - Chapter 5: removed words "checklist" or "procedure" from some headers (by definition, a procedure is something different than a checklist) - Replaced "Cabin delta pressure" with "Cabin differential pressure" for all instances (hopefully I got all of them) - Replaced "Master Caution" with "Master Warning" for all instances; Note: IMHO this was translated wrong from the beginning on, thus (sorry) I had to change it (HUVUDVARNING must be translated as MAIN WARNING; also, the color is red, which means "warning" and not "caution"; also, a Master Warning is triggered for flight safety relevant issues only > ergo this light comes on only when the shidd hits the fan ...). - Added background picture (I pray it's not disturbing) - Added date of update on the first page (thanks Machalot) - Applied at least a half zillion small text corrections here and there (note: only a half zillion, last update there were more corrections to do ... ) Kind regards, TOViper
  17. Hi folks! Despite all other issues I have with my lower spec rigs, I noticed that the "Scenery details factor" on this map has great impact on my fps. Don't know if that helps anyone here, but I thought it might be an idea to share this information, since it was not discussed in this topic so far (at least I wasn't able to find this combination of words "Scenery details factor"). Hope that the maps becomes optimized very soon, because I start loving it ... and some day IRL I have to visit Rudel_chw for a coffee ...
  18. Sorry to jump in right in the middle, but as a DCS F-16C pilot I often wished that there was a "Skip boresighting of AGM-65" option in the mission editor - even when cold starting the aircraft. For me, this is not necessarily true for MP servers (Buddy spike, etc...), but indeed true for "offline-usage". Now coming to the OT: I understand the claim to waste life time with that if you just want to fly a bit inbetween the carusell "family-job-personal maintenance-other things", so a company like ED with all their experience in creating modules could make this happen someday, at least this is what I wish. We have so many options to configure the aircraft in the mission editor, we have autostart features, we have rope-lengths, we have safety altitudes, we have pre-alignment of INS, etc., so why not having this "Skip boresighting of AGM-65" ... ? Let the user/customer decide in which depth he/she wants to go, and which features of IRL planes he want to skip in order to save lifetime.
  19. Yeah, absolutely right. I hated to create more versions, since I wanted to measure the downloads. If the filename changes all the time, I have to collect all that data garbage. In the credits section of the document you may find the release date and for which version of DCS the document is made (usually the latest OB which contained ANY update/change for the Viggen module). Also, the PDF should contain META data about the document information block (which was entered into the source file before compiling to PDF)
  20. Hey Machalot! No, I initially had the plan that the RC2.1 stays in beta as long as it is not officially part of the module. Let's see when this changes...
  21. Guys, regarding the roll inputs, I have some news. I tested this in DCS, and managed to see the fluctuating airspeed / g-load / roll angle speed. 2g, 350km/h, pull and roll > swinging around the longitudinal axis is clearly visible, and also swinging of the accelerometer is visible. Therefore, I rephrased it: Please go through it and give me your feedback! THANKS!
  22. Next update scheduled: August 31st, 2023
  23. @Silhou: Can you please check if this has been put the tracker? If not, please be so kind, thank you!!
  24. @Silhou : Is this bug already in the tracker? Problems are: Texture, and FÄLLD LAST not illluminated during the first KONTR LAMPTABLA test.
