    Jester switch TWS or STT on Radar Contacts

    in DCS: F-14A & B

    Posted · Edited by Raviar

    so i am not aware of it, thanks, how can you cycle through different contacts ? lets say we are flying in two ships tomcat with jester, we have 4 bandits infront in box formation with 10 miles range between 1 and 3, and we want to attack to the trailer group (3 and 4), how can I command Jester to STT lock or priority designate on TWS (hook) the trailer group not the 1st group?
    or lets say I am flying in port and my wingman is flying on starboard, and lets say jester in my AC lock on bandit on starboard while I need him to lock on bandit on port. how can I command jester to change that ?

    Thanks

    Not unless you use max or Blender.

    Do not worry. All will be fixed in time.

    But modding take LOTS of time.

    And the weather is getting nicer so out doors activities rule the day!

    Have patience please.

    Lots of good stuff in the pipeline!

    Cheers!

     

    Thanks a lot

    It was December 1992, after Desert Storm, nothing controversial here. Desert Storm took place 17 January to 28 February 1991.

    What you cited is no fly zone more than 1,5 year after Desert Storm ended. AIM-120 was already operational by this time.

     

    base on "Gulf War Air Power Survey" Volume IV by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliot_A._Cohen published on 1993, paged 117 they used it

    Is there a single photo from Desert Storm with any aircraft carrying AIM-120?

    AIM-120 became operational only after Desert Storm ended, why would anyone even take off with AIM-120 in combat area?

    i dont have pic but base on the document USAF used it in desert storm
    actually the first AMRAAM kill achieved by Viper in 1992/1993

    Didn't they manage to down one aircraft with the modified HAWK missiles though? Pretty sure it was a French aircraft (can't remember which one), had to use multiple missiles because at least one was a dud and never tracked anything.

    you mean Mirage F-1, No
    There is not any evidence of the shot/launch/kill, Although they carried and shot for test, however kill-confirm is in a ambiguity , Though the confirm resources known Jalil Zandi as Ace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalil_Zandi some iranian resources(highly related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Revolutionary_Guard_Corps  such as https://www.ganjejang.com/ ) introduce Mazandarani https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fereidoun_Ali-Mazandarani  with 15 and Javidnia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fazlollah_Javidnia with 14 kills which is not confirm and highly skeptical
    https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/اف-۱۴_تام‌کت‌های_در_خدمت_ایران
    which clearly there is not enough evidence and all websites (iranian and other) are referring to pilot interview it self which is not accepted by professionals! after death of Jalil Zandi an accident all AA kill confirm record started to be manipulated while the Zandi was/is the Confirm ace with 11 kills with no doubts, so dont trust what you hear or read in magazines, there is not a single reliable resource regarding this kills and weapons

    btw you are referring to this article

    Radar Bugs Status Update?

    in DCS: F/A-18C

    The Hornet radar has many bugs, on STT, TWS, Ghost targets tracking... base on the bug report, this really will help if ED can just give us a list of known radar bug, other bugs would be helpful as well, for example CCIP has error on GP bombs. it would really help if we can check/see which module(s) has which bugs, the usres would not rereport the bugs too

    the project failed, they have tried different launches with different parameters, at the end launch was success but the guidance was failure and project failed
    the R-27 was total failure due to couple of reasons

    There is not any evidence, of the shot, Although they carried and shot for test which failed couple of times, either the missile drop like stone, or failed in guidance, not to mention the missile has huge aerodynamic difference and heavier
