DCS: F-16C Viper – Multi-Target Engagement with AIM-120 AMRAAM DCS: F-16C Viper – Multi-Target Engagement with AIM-120 AMRAAM FOR NEXT OPEN BETA UPDATE In a previous video we looked at the Track While Scan (TWS) mode of the F-16C. In this short video, we’ll look at how to use it with the AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missile to simultaneously engage up to six targets. The operation is quite simple: 1- Set the group of track targets as system targets (TMS right) 2- TMS right again to bug (designate) the closest target 3- Launch an AIM-120, then TMS right to cycle to the next in priority sequence, and then launch the next AIM-120 4- Rinse and repeat Notes All targets must be within the 25-degree scan area until their onboard seeker takes over. Target will only get a search radar hit when engaged in this mode, until the AIM-120's radar goes active.

DCS: F-16C Viper - Data Link Introduction DCS: F-16C Viper - Data Link Introduction In the next Open Beta update, we will be adding the data link (Link-16 with MIDS) to our F-16C. This is a very useful tool for building situational awareness and more effectively managing wingmen. This will be implemented for both single- and multi-player. The initial version is work-in-progress and further elements will be added during the early access period.

We've updated several of the system tones, but there is much work to do on the specific PRF tones based on the emitter when in handoff. We have a huge library that needs to be accounted for and this will take time. Thanks

Yes, EXP mode will be in the next Open Beta update. Thanks

While true, sometimes a supporting image can carry the point home. Thanks

Much of the team is now focused on big updates for the Hornet! This entails Track While Scan radar mode, AACQ, SPOT, new targeting pod features, improvements to the flight dynamics (like ground effect issue), and others. December should be a great month for the Hornet. Thank you for your patience. Thanks

DCS: F-16C Viper - Track While Scan (TWS) Radar Mode This is an introduction to using the Track While Scan (TWS) radar mode of the F-16C. This is a useful mode to build situational awareness in air-to-air combat and guide multiple AIM-120 AMRAAMs simultaneously. The most important commands you will be using are the HOTAS commands for: - Target Management Switch (TMS) Forward - Target Management Switch (TMS) Right You can find these in the Controls/HOTAS category With the Viper TWS mode ready to go for the next Open Beta, our team is now developing TWS for the Hornet.

Hey everyone, Thank you for the very interesting and important topic. Given the role of the gun in the A-10C, it’s naturally important that we get this as close to real as possible. Back in June we signed an agreement with the 355th FW (three A-10C squadrons) for 20 VR training stations. So, I’ve been down there several times over the past few months. In fact, I was just down there today, and I asked three seasoned A-10C pilots what they thought of the gun dispersal in our DCS: A-10C. Their responses were “fine”, “looks good”, and “I don’t see an issue”. When I pressed if they thought the dispersal was too great, they all answered in the negative. While we very much want this to be as accurate as possible, in the case we don’t see the logic in “fixing” what ain’t broke. Thanks

Indeed, only a friendly contact will give an IFF response (green circle and 4). This is working as it should. Thanks

This is related to an already reported issue of the INS losing alignment on a steerpoint during the course of a mission. This is a high priority to fix for the next update. Thanks

Simply hold down the CRAB pushbutton to recage the seeker. Thanks

Did you hold down the CRAB pushbutton? Thanks

Not at this time. As soon as I provide public best estimate, it is automatically jinxed. Thanks

I apologize for the mixed signals. At the time, it was our plan. However, we later decided that the damage model was a more urgent matter. The same artist is working on the skin template, damage model, external lights, wing flex, centerline tank, new animations, and other items. He is working through them as fast as he can. Thanks

Hi, The template is certainly coming, but it is among several items being worked on by our Viper artist... template, external lightsl, damage model, wing flex, EPU door animations, etc. He is working as fast as he can and hopes to have the tempate available soon. Thanks

Hello, For the next update we have adjusted some of the fuel balancing issues. We will have additional adjustments in the Open Beta following the one for this Friday. Thanks

Hello, I ran your track and it plays back fine here. You may want to run a repair of your install and double check that you don't have any user mods installed. Thanks

Yes, this is being worked on and will be available a bit later. Thanks

Please provide a short and to-the-point track from single player. Thanks

Please provide a track file and we'll be happy to take a look. I just tested and I'm not having an issue getting a lock from ACM BORE mode against a target wtihin 10 nm. Thanks

That was one of my faviorite games, but it was quite simplified and much of it was incorrect. Walleye II with zoom was one such inaccuracy. Thanks

Hello, They show as on sale here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/campaigns/ In the future, kindly do not post the same message to more than one forum. Thanks

Please wait until it is out of WIP. Thanks

Hi everyone, These relate items have been resoloved internally and will be available in the next update. Thanks
