Litterally 3 answers above Mods, too long, too large, something this or that ... I feel that everytime we report something the automatic answer is ''track'' just to get it dismissed later and the bug report thrown under the carpet until someone else digs it out. I said ''just start Dominant Fury M5 and see''. Did you do it ?

The problem is that most of the time you'll end up saying that the track is too long. What I found interesting in pointing you out to an official campaign mission is that we are sure we have the same test base. I have no mods. In this particular case the AI is doing this right after its cat-launch so very little margin for the user to do anything that would create the problem. You spend a lot of time looking at bugs but we waste a lot of time being screwed up by bugs. So maybe when someone is pointing you to something you could first try what he's saying (or acknowledge you actually did) before just ask for a track. Thank you.

As I said, try the Mission 5 of Dominant Fury campaign ; the wingman is acting like that right after his launch. Tried 3 times in a row, even with a complete game restart between tries. Just a question though : You keep on asking for tracks. Are you suggesting a user input could induce this AI behaviour ?

Allright ! Thank you mate. I'm sorry that your hard work is plagued by bugs from the sim. Best regards

It has been acknowledged as a Hornet bug by ED Team

No it's not fixed, as I just said ...

Hey there. I discovered that now, AI Tomcats will spread their wings when they startup from cold on the carrier (did not tried on land though). And of course, if you are on the slot beside them, you get crushed and damaged. Try the Mission 6 of Dominant Fury. It is the second mission in a row I have to pass because bugs will kill the progression ; well, I cannot even finish my damn startup !!! Get your stuff together ED, you are killing the game !!

Hi ! In the beginning of mission 6, AI Tomcat is spreading his wings on its slot so it damages our Hornet. To be honest, with the bug on M5 this campaign is becoming unplayable. I know that's on ED side but it is killing the experience ...

Damn Blade has the perpetual stall syndrom again. @baltic_dragon, you may want to think about a failsafe for that particular problem because ED is missing the point almost everytime. One patch and it's fixed and the next one will re-introduce the issue.

Happened two times in a row today when flying Dominant Fury M5 ... so it blocks the progression. You guys really need to do something about this !!

Hi ! After trying the mission 2 of Dominant Fury I wanted to know why I did not get the distress call since I had the habit to put the PRI radio (radio 1) in GRCV. The reason is simple, it doesn't work on PRI, only on SEC (radio 2) You can use Dominant Fury mission 2 where there is a long dialogue with someone on guard to try different combinations and see by yourself. Thx.

Got it to work properly with Zulu time. Thx mate.

Well, got it. GRCV is not working on PRI but on SEC.

Damn I never thought about that !! I tried in Raven One for the Missing Man formation ToT. I stand corrected and will try it shortly. Thank you very much !

Try Dominant Fury Mission 3 and set the ToT on WP 6 ... and see how it doesn't work at all. I had to use the HSI timer and the clock to be over the target on time. I doubt that thing ever worked in the Hornet ...

SPOILER !!!! The boat is a yacht and said to be stranded so the wind is no factor. What I did is estimate an almost direct trajectory from the port of departure to Haïfa, assumed a speed of 20kts between 16h30 (hour of depart) and 20h (time Claire said the boat stopped). That way I determined a rough point and then search west from that point. I picked it up quite easily with the radar in SEA mode and the FLIR. I agree that from there you just turn around above the boat and enjoy the fantastic voicings but that is something very unusual in DCS

I found it interesting by being unusual. And I can confirm you can pick the boat on the radar and use the FLIR. But you have first to analyse the trajectory, calculate the time the boat traveled and assume a speed ; then take into account the drift under the storm.

Maybe ... I think I was climbing up to 20k but I can't remember if I had just turn on the vector given by the tower or already following Mother's TAC.

During the first minutes it tells you that you can switch to G or dial 243.00 on M. I switched naturally on G when I saw the text saying ''respond to the distress call'', even if I did not hear that first call. I'm almost sure GRCV was ticked on PRI since it is part of my Hornet startup routine for a while. That is why I asked if that option was implemented in the Hornet. Some seems to have the same problem as me, some don't.

Allright. I may have messed up something then. I'll try again.

Strange. I'll try again then.

Are you on Open Beta or Stable, and did you do the last update ?

That was my first impression but maybe it is related to how the trigger is working ...

As I said, I wasn't receiving the chatter on the guard until I effectively switched to the G channel, which is already set to 243.00. But if I understand correctly the Hornet, I should be hearing the guard on any channel if the option GRCV is ticked. It is a common option in fighter jets to be able to monitor the guard at all time (but you can't respond until you actually switch to the guard) My question is : Is it a trigger related behaviour or is the GRCV not working in the Hornet ?

Hi guys ! I tried the Mission 2 and I think the Guard Recieve option for the radios is not working. I missed the first distress call and been able to continue after I switch to the G channel. Is that a trigger problem or is the GRCV option not working in the Hornet ? Thx
