Vibora

Known. This is WIP, an early version will be available in next open beta release. That must be an ED's issue.

Yes, I just got a message from ED a few minute ago, saying that it will be solved today.

We can only make those versions from which we have the needed information. Getting the required documentation and data is a huge amount of work when you want to implement a simulation in a realistic way like we do.

Strange, will try to find out what's happening, we didn't change anything. Done.

Yes. I was talking about the three types of different equipment on ground. As you say, the VORTAC is a combination on the same site of a VOR and a TACAN, but both work independently. If you are in a civil aircraft you can get bearing from a VOR and distance from a DME or a TACAN. But you can't get bearing from a TACAN, since the way radials are generated electronically in a VOR and a TACAN work in a different manner. VOR and DME are civil stations. TACAN is a military station. If you are in a militar aircraft you can get bearing only from a TACAN unless you have a VOR equipment on board like it's the case in the C-101CC. Distance measuring part of DME and TACAN are equivalent, that's why you can get distance out of a TACAN with a DME equipment.

Sí, saldrá en Steam el mes que viene.

Regarding NDB and ILS I don't see what you mean, all works perfectly. And the way the ILS works in the CC is pretty much the same as the EB.

The TACAN station equipment on the ground has two parts, one provides bearing and the other one distance. A VOR station on the ground only provides bearing. There are also DME stations on the ground to provide distance. A VOR onboard equipment can receive the distance signal from the TACAN "distance part" of the equipment on ground. And, of course, a VOR onboard equipment can receive also the distance signal from a DME station. The C-101 CC doesn't have a TACAN equipment onboard, only a VOR. Therefore, in the C-101CC, to get distance from a TACAN station, you need to tune the equivalent VOR frequency for that TACAN station channel. In the C-101CC you can get the bearing from a VOR station of course, but not from a TACAN station.

It should be working. I'm in contact with ED and will try to give you an answer soon.

Right now we have our FM coder working on damage model interaction with flight model, and the systems coder working on completion of rear cockpit systems interaction with front cockpit in multiplayer. Once that is done, we'll work on failures setting in ME, real engine sounds, force feedback and adition of some effects to flight model, like cockpit vibration near the stall. After that it should be ready for release and only bugs or minor items would be pending.

Thank you for your praises! :) - Engine management with ECU off: be sure you move the throttle slowly otherwise you'll get an engine surge. It's probably a bit exaggerated and we would need to relax it a bit, but in any case, in the real airplane you have to be careful with this, in fact, a failure of the ECU requires an immediate landing. - Trim tone. Known, low priority right now though. - Number 3: the modeler will take a look at it, thanks for reporting it, good catch :)

Known and, as you say, low priority right now, sorry :)

Hello Joey. The flight model itself is not WIP. It's fully developed, and it's a huge and thorough work that reflects exactly the real airplane, as we already stated a few times. You should apply brakes, add full throttle and release brakes once the engine is stabilized at full power (check engine parameters, N1, ITT, N2 and FF). Only then you'll get the normal acceleration during takeoff since it takes several seconds for the engine to get full rate. Regarding deceleration, it's normal, this is not a fighter with small and swept back wings. Gliding performance is correct according to real airplane of course and as I said the Flight Model follows exactly the real behavior.

Yes, I confirm those news, got that info some days ago. If we get some extra sales our programmers will work with more strength to get a release version asap, which is what we are worried about, so that's definitely good news.

Shadows depend on graphic engine, 3Dmax deals only with modelling. It could also be an issue with your graphic card. I don't see that shadow error.

Will ask the modeller.

Correct :)

Solved.

The Persian Gulf map is really very much WIP regarding navigational aids… for example, some ILS do not work yet.

Hi Chump, I don't know exactly what you are trying to do. There are no DME stations in DCS, just VOR and TACAN stations (apart from NDB and ILS or RSBN). I guess you know this, but just to make sure, to get distance reading in the C-101CC, since there is no TACAN equipment onboard, you have to use the equivalent frequency to the corresponding channel of each particular TACAN. You have a table in the C-101CC kneeboard.

Thank you for your offer, if I need your help testing or setting it I will let you know. I have a FFB, we need to find time and resources to implement the code.

Will try to do it.

Welcome :)

Very nice review this one as well, congratulations and thank you, good job :) As you know, you can take controls from rear cockpit with J key to ask for controls. Regarding comments on this article. The AOA indexer is on in this aircraft the whole time, not only when landing gear is down.
