Yes, that's why I was wondering how come R/BL is available as a mode when I didn't even have a target designated and wondered if that was a bug. Makes sense, but then what is the difference between a fixed point and a Harpoon turn point? Why not just use the fix point and forget about the HPTP or vice versa? Is it because the HPTP requires a waypoint, whereas the fixed point does not? Good idea, I never considered firing them from behind cover like that. Thanks! v6, boNes

Hi, What is the point of the Fixed Point when setting up the Harpoon? If it's meant to fly out to some point then start searching, why not just aim the Hornet at the target, set the mode to BOL, and set the search range and bearing, and then fire? then it would just fly out and start searching when it got to the point you inputted, why bother with a fixed point? Also, shouldn't R/BL mode only be available if you have a designated target like in FLIR? I've noticed that if I don't choose any targets, just have them painted on the SEA radar but not locked, thatn it still lets me hit choose R/BL mode. Is that correct? v6, boNes

That's a good idea; I was playing MP at the time. I should try it in SP and see what happens. v6, boNes

*bump* I attached the track file

In the last week or so I have experienced that an SA-5 missile has hit me and I never knew it was there because the RWR never gave a missile launch warning. My RWR was on; I can tell because I can hear the SA-5 spiking me and I can see all the radar indications in the RWR. Shouldn't there be a launch warning when the SA-5 launches since it is a SARH missile? I actually thought I was hit by an SA-18 since there was no warning, but the log showed it was definitely an SA-5. Here is video. At 3:30 you can hear me being spiked, so I know the RWR was on. Skip to 17:34, and you can see the moments before I'm hit, there is no warning and at 18:06 in the log you can see it was confirmed an SA-5. This happened a couple of times before in the last 2 weeks both to me and to another player. v6, boNes

How do you know there is a patch tomorrow? Is there a forum for patch updates? v6, boNes

I'd rather he call bandit clock code better. His calls are useless because it seems like he has to say everything in order in his script as it happens. So when I have out maneuvered a bandit and have him on my nose, he still says "6:00! 6:00 He's gonna fire!" Can't stand it. v6, boNes

I did see Baltic Dragon flying the C-130J and I think someone was filming, but it was probably for that person's YouTube channel, not Baltic's or ED's. There was also someone from ED there with Baltic, I forget his name, but he wasn't really there to represent as much as to be on hand. Expo was 90% racing, 7% flight simming, and 3% VR, to give you an idea why there is not much footage for the flight sim side. There was only one flight sim cockpit, and that was the Airbus one. There were no other flight sim cockpits, only 1 rig. All the other flight sims were tabletop with HOTAS. And yes, the C-130J was in an area like a LAN party, but that was OK. I myself probably would have filmed more, but I had my son in tow and had to keep an eye on him which wouldn't make for good video footage. v6, boNes Baltic Dragon at 01:26:50!

Got a chance to fly the C-130J. It did, with all due respect, feel better than the C-130 mod. But then again, I was not using my own rig or HOTAS so pretty much everything I fly will feel different. It was nice though. I met up with Xpendable there and he was saying that he inadvertantly had the C-130J throttle thrown to reverse, and it started taxiing backwards. By the time he had gotten control of it again, it had been backward taxiing at 80 kts! Wow. It was also great to meet Baltic Dragon, what a great guy. Here is me, Baltic Dragon, and Xpendable. v6, boNes

Any of the Foothold missions in MP. On rare occasion it might work, but not very likely. v6, boNes

I've done that with VAICOM Pro, but again this is dependent on the mission. Sometimes Jester is happy to "set map marker 1 to fixed point" and other times he just plain ignores you. v6, boNes

Well I do it if I'm targeting, say, a building. I have and love VAICOM Pro but there is no "Look for buildings" command. I could do it from the front seat, but the eyeballs command, then head adjustment takes longer than if I went in the RIO seat and did it myself. So I noticed it's mission dependent. I don't know why. But when I flew a different mission, Jester was fine leaving my designated target as his new designated target. But in other mission, he ignores it and goes with his previous one. I dunno why. v6, boNes
