Just to eliminate the obvious, you do have a litening pod on the jet, and your gear is not down, correct?

Are you using the HMD to designate your targets perchance? There's a reported bug with the TDC drifting. If you designate using a WP, or VVSLV or snowplow, it works fine. Sent using Tapatalk

It's the latter, the distance from your jet to the top of the compass. Sent using Tapatalk

Everyone can still play your mission. It's not the same as adding WW2 assets to your mission, where everyone must own the module to be able to join. SC is treated differently than that. Sent using Tapatalk

fixed my issue, thanks BN! The timing was impeccable, I found this post stickied on the ED Discord, and it just so happened I had cleared my CMOS in my BIOS when I upgraded my CPU. I thought I had an issue with module activations due to the hardware change, but it was simply the clock off by 2 hours! Appreciate all that you do for the community, happy holidays all!

Yeah same issue here, and I subscribe to the Hornet forum but don't get notifications when there is a new post in that group like I used to. It seems to have broken when the new ED forum look was launched. Sent from my SM-A715W using Tapatalk

is there a trick to get Tapatalk working properly? I still don't get notifications of new messages in the F/A18 forum (for example), and I have links from Tapatalk to the forum that are going to a completely random thread.

small bug: SA-8 TELAR sites do not show range rings like the other SAM sites do. cheers!

EDIT: ahh let me try the steps on https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberat...d-Server-Guide, I didn't find these originally. EDIT2: works now, please disregard can anyone post some working instructions for using a Dedicated Server to run missions? I followed these instructions, but every time I tried to run the mission it would crash the server. https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comm...layer/g1vpsz1/ I suspect it has to do with the MissionScripting.lua changes, but I can't tell if you are supposed to change it in 'program files' only, or also in 'saved games' (which my local install of DCS does not have such a file). Would really like to be able to harness the extra bandwidth of our dedicated server if at all possible. thanks,

Very good, thorough explanation from NPOSuperHornet

Not if the year is 1986, that's the year that GPS became available. Seriously though, the year of the mission dictates the availability of GPS

small enhancement recommendation: a map scale, or a yardstick functionality to more easily determine distances to targets

You don't need to maintain a T&S or DT2 track after launch. For that matter you don't even need both of them to fire. If you have 4 targets in close formation at the same altitude you could simply undesignate, fire, undesignate, fire, undesignate, fire, undesignate fire. Keep the radar sweep going over all targets and watch all four missiles hit. With more than the 4 targets in your radar sweep, keep hitting undesignate until the desired targets are selected. No guarantee this will always work, because of course your targets are trying their hardest to not die, but under ideal circumstances the above procedure is valid.

echoing a previous sentiment here, a little closure at the end of the campaign (a graphic with a generic congratulatory message at a minimum, or ideally a short campaign-specific won/lost dialog) would really help with the feeling of accomplishment. Great work on this product. I just completed my first campaign and will be moving on to the next!

I tried different tests with the ground power, but was unable to quickly realign with STD HDG after a repair. Anyone have any luck?

An old bug I reported that is still outstanding: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=234098

Correct, are you running openbeta?

When landing and shutting off the engines for a repair, when you start back up, the Stored Heading option is no longer available in the HSI, even if you turn the INS off and then on. Is this expected behaviour? Also has anyone experienced the INS DEGD warning even after a full 90 second alignment? I am not sure, but it feels like you can't flip over to IFA immediately after getting 0.5s OK on the HSI, it seems you need to wait a few seconds later just to be sure.

ahh, I was mistaken, i was on the 2.1.1 alpha which has a note on github not to use, so maybe this is a known issue. I thought I was on 2.1.0 because of the version in the help menu. I'll revert to release and try again... edit: confirmed, reverting to the release build addressed the issue.

hey there, regardless of whether I run in Caucasus, or PG or Syria, all my player flights always start in the air, even though I am changing the "start type" value correctly. I have tried canned flights, as well as deleting a flight and adding one manually, it doesn't make a difference. I have tried from the supercarrier, and from an airfield. I have tried cold, warm, runway starts, but they always end up as air starts. This is with version 2.1.0. I noticed this question had been asked before as well on at least a couple of occasions, but was not addressed. It seems as if perhaps its only happening for some folks. Here is a screenshot

Try pressing DATA and increase the GAIN to max?

I took a note when I figured out how to ripple 8 jdams, hope this helps: step through each of 4 stations, set JDAM to TOO mode back on station 8, TDC depress once to continuously send active cursor position to JDAM slew over a target - 1 press TOO2 slew over a target - 2 press STEP slew over a target - 3 press TOO2 slew over a target - 4 press STEP slew over a target - 5 press TOO2 slew over a target - 6 press STEP slew over a target - 7 press TOO2 slew over a target - 8 press undesignate button press QTY select all four stations press RTN get IN ZONE pickle hold until 4 bombs drop cycle through all stations and switch them to TOO1 pickle hold until 4 bombs drop

Then you are lucky, you missed a dark period if less-than-stellar patches. The latest ones have seen some good improvements, and hopefully more new features in the Viper.

That behaviour of ignoring you was literally just introduced in the latest openbeta, as mentioned in the patch notes!

With the BRU55 rack assuming you are starting on TOO1 for all stations, it would be Slew TOO2 Slew Step Slew TOO2 Slew Step Etc
