If anything the update made it worse

So it's a DCS problem, thank you!

I am experiencing weird behaviours with icing: the airplane gets icy even in non icing condition. Is temperature the only parameter for the ice to appear? because in reality you need to be in a moist enviroment, rain, fog, a cloud, whatever, but in clear air, no matter the temperature you won't get any considerable ice buildup.

Worked perfectly, thank you!

Is the mission 5 bug back again? I tried it today but I just cap between wp 2 and 3 indefinetely and nothing happens. From tacview I could see the F-14s didn't release any of the TALDs

Tacview-20221119-100952-DCS-R1 M07.zip.acmi Here is the tacvuew file

Just happened the same to me, after dropping the smoke psycho joins my formation and does not drop

This is really starting to bother me now. It is unacceptable that a problem that makes some part of the game completely unplayable (I cannot progress on the F-14 caucasus campaign) is not fixed in so long. I understand some problems are harder to fix but for all the money we spend here I at least expect to be able to play. I've never been one that complains all the time but this is becoming too much.

Thanks a lot man! I was going crazy over this, it definitely doesn’t look like a realistic behaviour, not this violent at least.

Pretty sure since in dg mode doesn't precess even closely to the error a single turn can induce in slaved mode

I get the same, it’s a non identified bug that makes the game crash when f-14 and carrier are involved. Hoping they’ll find a solution soon

But I’m not sure it’s working as intended. In slaved mode it still gets substantial degradation (usually in lazy turns). What I think happens is that the compass still updates the gyro even when in a bank (where at certain headings depending on latitude the compass over or under reads). this in the real tomcat was prevented by updating the gyro only in level flight

I get this only in the f-18 and not in the f-14

Actually each barrel has a lower rate of fire than the f-5 cannon. 6.000 RPM / 6 barrels, and I think that’s what affects gun accuracy due to heating (if that’s what you’re referring to) the interview I mentioned about is the fpp on the a7 and both the guest and Jello agree that the m61 was incredibly accurate on both the a-7 and f-18. So I’m leaning to believe that the f-14 is rather on spot; lately the f-18 too seems to be way more accurate.

The F-5 has a two 20mm single barrel revolver cannoni, 1.500 rounds per minute; the F-14 has a 20mm gatling gun with 6.000 rounds per minute in high setting, so no it’s not the same gun. also I remeber in an interview of a corsair pilot him saying that the M-61 vulcan was extremely precise.

I don't know if this is a bug or an intended behavior, but I get a quite aggressive chenge of AoA in every trap: Even flying a smooth groove sector with small to none corrections, and not tuching the stick in the pitch, at the ramp I get a violent but brief pitch up followed by a pitch down leading to a 3 point landing. I only noticed this in the hornet, with the tomcato I get the burble effect way earlier at around 150ft and no turbulence at the ramp. Wake turbulence is activated.

From what I’ve seen in pictures mostly above the rwr, right of the sight

Is there any plan to include the 3d model of the ns430 strapped somewhere at some point? In my understanding it wouldn’t be unrealistic having a commercial gps taped in the cockpit

Of course, but they categorically say no, not a not now, maybe there’s some other reason I’m missing

I totally agree! Even a paid update, I’m sure most of us would buy it. Did Ed ever give an official explanation? Like it’s technically impossible ( map too big, performance impact etc.) or they just don’t care?

For the life of me I can’t understand why, I mean it’s one airbase, and it would completely change the usability of nttr map; you don’t even have to model the city, just give better textures and put in the airport.

I have two ideas which I think it would be great to implement: jester wheel next and previous button: instead of having to use a 8 way pov hat to make the selection, just start from 12h and from there work your way with next and previous. incremental afterburner selection for the A: a button increasing A ab from zone 1 to 5 since it’s not that easy to have a precise selection with the axis not having 5 detents

Might something be closely related to carriers and f-14? Like most of you I’m getting the freeze when retiring to the boat with the f-14 after a long mission. Never experienced a freeze in the zone 5 campaign in NTTR

Thanks a lot!

Just played this mission for the 3rd time, I killed all the vehicles but I still get 50%, On the way back my ejected wingman tells me to get him but No further message, is that influencing the score?
