IS there any symbology available in the HUD or in the JHMCS to show where friendlies are or if you have buddy spiked someone? Similar to the Hornet? Thanks. v6, boNes

Is there a better way to sight the TGP to a target of opportunity? I try using SP but when I do, the TGP sometimes starts at a point near the horizon, sometimes it's way off at who knows where and I can't manually slew it on target on time. I even tried changing the ground radar range to 15 just to get it to look lower below my nose but that doesn't help much either. WHat do you all do? Thanks. v6, boNes

I've noticed several times that when I lock a target in the HTS HAD page and fire, the missile goes stupid and flies into the ether or crashes into the ground. I was wondering if the HTS/HAD detects a threat and it gets killed, it still remembers that threat and thus is a "ghost return." ie, am I shooting at a target that USED to be there but is not anymore? The only thing is I believe that the PGM level still changes as I track that return prior to locking it--if the target was destroyed it wouldn't be transmitting so why is there a PGM change? What happens if the target radar is turned off? Will it still show in the HAD page because it was remembered by the HTS? Thanks. v6, boNes

For the wheel chocks issue, when you salute, the wheel chocks will come off automatically. However, do not taxi too fast because then they will come back on automatically and I don't know how to get them to take them off again then. If you disable the deck crew in the settings you won't have this problem. My problem is if I give radio checks and my AI wingy (in this case, Psycho) taxies before me, she stops and then I never get the flight directors to give me the go ahead to taxi because she's in the way or in the queue. I tried taxiing to the cat via the flight directors so as to get to the cat before her and not get held up, but as soon as I was hooked up to the cat and got the runup signal, I then did the radio checks with her so she can start taxiing and she never did move. SO the mission cannot go on unless you fly without a wingman. v6, boNes

I think you mean brown shirt. The red shirts are ordies. v6, boNes

Aw, that's too bad, it's really handy in the Hornet. I don't' have to do anything but pickle more or less,then I can go back to my bomb run. On the other hand, HARMS via HTS and HAD is unbeatable! v6, boNes

The F/A-18C has s Self Protect mode for its HARMs that allow you to shoot the HARM on the fly should you get spiked while say, on a bomb run. Does the F-16 have something equivalent? Having to switch from my bomb to the SMS/INV/HARM page then switch to the WEAP page and choosing HAS or what have you then firing takes way too long. Thanks! v6, boNes

I heard tell that navigation in the F-16 was bugged. In recent days I have tried it and that tadpole never points to the right direction. Does anyone know if the navigation bug is still there? While we're at it, what about ILS--there was some AI function that if the wind is not blowing in favor of the ILS runway then the tower turns off the ILS and markers. Is that still true? Thanks! v6, boNes

This worked, thanks!

Yup, that would do it. I was able to lock and hold lock on the target in the HAD when I did not have weapon page on the other MFD. v6, boNes

Thanks, when I get a chance I'll try it out and see what happens. v6, boNes

I tried swapping the JHMCS for NVGs and it still didn't work for me. v6, boNes

Post patch, this did not get fixed. HEre is a trkMA_Foothold_PG_dynamic_spawn103124-20241106-062633.trk Here is footage: v6, boNes

Any chance that a fix for this made it into today's small hotfix? Thanks! v6, boNes

I can confirm the same. IT was working as of Oct 27 but after October 30, it stopped working. Power cycling doesn't do anything either. HAS mode does work, just not using the HTS and HAD. v6, boNes

I've noticed lately if I use eyeballs to tell Jester where to put the LANTIRN, he does it, but then releases it, then does it again, the releases it, over and over in an infinite loop. https://youtu.be/112O_uznoEs?si=QFgeEmsomaLKZNjQ See at around 11:40 (or right when you click the link). Because of this it is impossible to make a laser guided drop. Even if I go in the RIo seat and designate it myself, as soon as I go to the front seat he does it again. Am I doing something wrong? v6, boNes

I've been under the impression that the TGP can only LSS search if an appropriate weapon was selected and the delivery mode was CCRP. Is this true? If not, how can I get it to LSS in say CCIP or with say a JDAM that really is neither delivery mode? Thanks. v6, boNes

Maybe, but I don't think so. I've noticed that when I fire, the contact disappears from the display and the HARM still hits. I think it's just the HAD resetting itself or something. How to keep the SAM emitting unless I tease it some more? Then again, if he shut down, then I did SUPPRESS him as I should be in SEAD rather than DESTROY him as I should be in DEAD...so I guess mission accomplished...? v6, boNes

Sometimes when I lock a target up in the HAD and fire in PB EOM, the missile flies off but then goes stupid and crashes who knows where. Any idea why? Am I locking up a ghost return in the HAD for a target that doesn't exist anymore? See the shot at 11:30. I had PGM2 before I locked and fired. v6, boNes

No, it doesn't happen anymore, not that I noticed and that was 2 years ago now...? v6, boNes

Yes the new launcher changed it. I had blurry mirrors too but rather than fix it going to the controls list, I went into the global settings and ticked the "mirrors" option and they were back. That way I'd be sure that they were working in any aircraft I use with mirrors. v6, boNes

Specifically, when you call inbound and Marshall responds for example "101, mother's weather is visibility 10 plus miles, sky clear, altimeter 29.88, case I recovery, expected BRC 035, report see me at 10." Instead you get, "101, go to alternate." I think I've actually see this happen in stock IA missions for the Hornet too. Maybe it's just an ED thing. v6, boNes

In the stock instant action Case I Caucasus mission, when you call the Forrestal, they no longer respond with your case I recovery instructions but rather with a divert order. Thus when you trap, you get no LSO or landing grade. v6, boNes

Oh, I get it. I forgot about the Jester wheel as I had already sold out to VAICOM Pro... v6, boNes

What do you mean he can see a target in yellow and the others are blue? The AWG-9 display is in monochrome black and green. v6, boNes
