Gentlemen, fellow pilots, I wonder whether I am the only one in this forum who is using the stable version (rather than the beta one) and who is increasingly dissatisfied with the documentation -- or rather the lack of a proper one --for this payware (!) product. Developers, please note: I do *not* want to watch dozens of YouTube tutorials from various sources, reflecting various (undocumented... what else) stages of development, from outdated to beta, of a product in unclear versions (stable or beta). I do expect proper documentation of a payware product in original manuals, and so I shall discontinue to use the F/A-18C, along with the other modules and DCS itself. @ admin: Feel free to ban me if you want ... I am not going to return here anyway. Happy landings to all of you Lawyer (real-life GA pilot, IFR-rated, G1000, 1200 hrs)

Hi, everyone, I am using the stable version (not the beta one), and I have observed the following behaviour of the AGM-84D harpoons: I have set the AGM-84D up at flight level LOW. Terminal mode either SKIM or POP UP, no difference: When using A/G radar in SEA mode *and* designating radar targets with TDC depress, and subsequently setting the harpoons to bearing/distance launch mode, the harpoons will stay at 5000 ft until *very* close to the target, then dive at the very last moment and occasionally hit the water before levelling off. Even if they do level off before hitting the water, they will do so just before hitting the target and never reach a proper flight path. When using A/G radar in SEA mode and merely using the radar to determine the proper bearing to the target, leaving the harpoons at BOL (bearing-only-launch) mode, they will dive to low-level upon target acquisition, follow the proper flight path (skim or pop-up) and hit the target as expected. I was able to reproduce this behaviour, both with an Elnya tanker and a Handy Wind cargo ship in the Caucasus environment. It must have something to do with the target designation by TDC. Until this is sorted out, I suggest to use SEA A/G radar just to get the proper bearing and launch in BOL mode. Happy landings Sigmar, aka Lawyer

Cheers! I'll go for the stable one then :-) Sigmar

Hi everybody, sorry for the dumb question: I had installed DCS World 2.5 (non-beta) and F/A-18C and after some initial trials had to change part of my system. Now I have to re-install from scratch. Is there any need to install DCS World 2.5 beta in order to run the Hornet properly? Thanks Sigmar
