You also need to uncage the seeker after getting a valid detection threshhold tone.

A little Hornet update: Much of what follows should be old news to earlier relayed plans to include: 1- TOO and PB HARM modes are in work. Once he finishes those up, he’ll start work on moving the Litening II TGP to the Hornet. However, this is not a simple copy and paste, this is still a significant amount of work, but it will allow us to bring a Hornet TGP into the game faster than the ATFLIR. 2- Huge amount of work on the data link (D/L). This is probably the most complex system for the Hornet given the network sharing and new APIs that need to be created. We are making good progress and it will be a “game changer”. This will also address a new system of IFF. 3- In additional to cleaning up the DUD and fuze logic for HD bombs, progress has been quite rapid on JDAM and JSOW. Like D/L, this is also a rather complex task that will take time. 4- Work is ongoing on the LTWS/TWS A/A radar modes. This will in turn tie into the MIDS D/L. Thanks, Wags

The missions is designed for a hot start to meet mission times.

We cannot reproduce this. The SA-6 does not now, nor ever, had the ability to engage ASMs. Please provide a track.

Yes, Early Access. Hornet Early Access Guide: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Doc There are 20 interactive training missions.

You need to be using Open Beta.

It's a combination of several factors: 1- Available data in regards to textures, DTED, GIS, etc. 2- How valid it is for training or a war zone. 3- Market interest. 4- How well it suits available aircraft modules. Thanks!

Indeed you did. The SEAD Caucasus mission has no real objective, it is just to practice against several different SAM systems including SA-2, SA-3, SA-6, SA-8, and ZSU-23-4. The SA-11 and SA-10 and ships have been removed to simplify things. Although, all SAMs can be set to not engage air-to-surface missiles. Updated version here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3762420&postcount=113

Note the locations of waypoints 7 and 8 alignment with the SA-6 strobes along those bearing. Use the waypoints as range indications to the targets. You will need to press further to engage the MiG-23s out of Tonopah. For SAM evasion, keep out of the their WEZ as much as possible, and E-pole out (turn tail and run) or place the SAM abeam with chaff and break into the missile as it closes to force it to pull more energy than it can muster.

There are no SAMs in the mission that have anti-ARM capability. Destroying the two SA-6 sites is actually quite easy, the MiG-23 flight on the other hand...

No valid A/A TCN bearing was entered. This is also only supported for multiplayer.

Mission of the Week Red Flag Iron Hand This week's mission takes place in the Nevada map as part of a Red Flag exercise. Due to the large file size, it cannot be attached. Please use this link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wUqPuPvj00n_t0WcUrpxsDlYqBHnQ1Sz Your flight is one component of a larger strike into RED territory that consists of fighter sweeps (F-15C), strike (Tornados), and SEAD/DEAD (F/A-18C and F-16CJ). Your flight targets are two SA-6 SAM sites 20 nm southeast of Tonopah. These threats must be eliminated prior to the Tornado flights crossing the fence. RED air activity is expected to be high and consist of MiG-29, Su-27, and MiG-23. Note 1: This mission uses real radio traffic from a Red Flag exercise, but it is solely for atmosphere and has no bearing on the mission you are flying. Note 2: This can be a difficult mission with numerous threats and allied flights. This is designed for experienced Hornet pilots. If you enjoy this mission, be sure to check out the Red Flag campaigns for the A-10C, F-15C, AJS-37 Viggen, and M-2000C on our e-Shop and Steam. TASK: Destruction of Straight Flush SA-6 SAM radars at WYPT 7 and 8. In addition to the two SA-6 SAM sites, two MiG-23 Floggers fron the Red Eagles squadron will scample out of Tonopah AFB to intercept you. Both aircraft must be splashed. MISSION PLAN: Communications: Strike: COMM 1 Channel 1 124.00 Nellis Tower: COMM 1 Channel 2 132.550 AWACS E-3 Darkstar: COMM 2 Channel 1 127.000 Tanker Arco: COMM 2 Channel 2 130.000 Players: Chevy 1 and 2: F-15C north and south CAPs Chevy 3 and 4: F-15C sweep Colt 3 and 4: F-16CJ SEAD/DEAD Colt 7 and 8: F/A-18C SEAD/DEAD Uzi 1, 2, and 3: Tornado Strike Arco 1 and 2: S-3B tankers Texaco 1 and 2: KC-135 tankers Pontiac 1: C-130 Compass Call TACAN Nellis 12X Schedule: Startup: 00:25:00Z Taxi: 00:38:00Z Takeoff: 00:42:00Z Strike marshal at Waypoint 4 Push: 01:04:00Z at .75M A/A Waypoint - Bullseye: Waypoint 7 Targets: WPDSG: Waypoint 7 SA-6 South 37-28-49N / 116-27-32E/5105 FT WPDSG: Waypoint 8 SA-6 North 37-37-15N / 116-28-00E/5328 FT

This is correct as is.

As I've mentioned before, we will have a data base of 60 waypoints (0-59), from which waypoints can be assigned as SEQ1/2/3, PB/PP, or AA WYPT. This is being worked on as part of the MUMI card.

There seems to be a bit of confusion on how to properly set up bomb fuzes since the 16 January Open Beta release. This video is provided to help shed some light. Thanks and have fun!

Based on your image, you are not using the current Open Beta.

For a long time we've said that a DC was more a matter of when rather than if. It is only until last year that we found a talented engineer to create "war simulation" in which the DC operates. It was only last year that we announced that it is now in development. This is a very high-priority item for us with good progress. However, this is a highly complex undertaking and it will take time, but certainly not "5 years". Once we have interesting and significant news to pass along on this task, we certainly will. Thanks

Mission of the Week This week’s mission comes on the heels of the HARM with SP mode release into the Open Beta this week. This is a standard Instant Action mission in the Caucasus map to practice using the HARM against a variety of targets. This will later be integrated into the game. Thanks and have fun! Caucasus FA-18C AGM-88C HARM.miz

It’s in work.

Operation of the HARM in SP mode is quite simple: Master Arm Switch to ARM A/G Master Mode ON Select HARM from the TAC/Stores page Press the HARM Sequence/RAID/FLIR FoV switch or to cycle the ground-radar emitters on the EW page / EW HUD / Azimuth Indicator (aka RWR scope) RESET will automatically select the highest threat emitter Press and HOLD the weapon release button or [right ALT + SPACEBAR] Shout MAGNUM at the top of your lungs Some notes: HARM range is highly dependent on launch altitude and speed. A high and fast launch at 45k MSL at 1.3M will allow engagement out to 80 nm. When in SP mode, no target range is provided. Have a good understanding of where the target may be before you launch that HARM. Some advanced SAM systems can shoot down a HARM. It is not a magic bullet. Most of all, have fun and enjoy the SAM payback!

Correct

There is no "warm up time".
