  1. Just realized that in my track, the boat was only doing 12knots.

     

     

    EDIT: Did another one with carrier speed at 29knots and no wind. Sliding all over the place.

     

     

    EDIT EDIT: Here is another one. Carrier doing 24 knots. Thats the speed where sliding starts. Up till 24 knots things seems fine. Once I have started sliding the A/C will continue to be in that state until RPM reach 65% or I get enough groundspeed on deck, even with fully applied wheel brakes.

     

    Good for you. I'm sliding after landing on a boat doing only 15 Knots. As soon as I turn on NWS HI and turn away from the landing zone, I start sliding. Also, often significant power is needed to just get the Hornet moving.

  2. My lysbomb don't drop at all. The Fälld Last light is blinking and no weapon is released.

     

    The manual is unclear in which weapon mode you should be to deliver lysbomb (I tried PLAN, RR and ATTACK).

     

    The manual states that lysbomb could be delivered in NAV or ANF, but NAV + unsafe does not produce any popup indications in game (ANF does).

     

    Exactly, I experienced the same too in NAV+unsafe.

  3. I am wondering what is the release altitude for the Illumination Bombs. I could not find it in the manual - probably missed it somehow.

     

    Also, it's not clear to me whether or not a Target Fix (M) is required or not. It seems the manual does not specify the necessity of a target fix therefore I guess a standard waypoint will do.

     

    Can anyone please confirm? Thank you!

  4. I did, but I could not even find my target. :-)

     

    I then created a different mission for the Persia map attacking a factory deep inland, using high drag bombs. Love the Viggen. I hope that the outstanding issues will be fixed in the future.

     

    By the way, I have been playing DCS for two months only so worry you not - I am a total noob! :-)

  5. I have just tested Arak and High drag(M/71) bombs on an armored convoy and Jowen was right about the explosion radius that even though my bombs exploded on the road on a tight formation convoy very close to the vehicles and the smoke was so huge that I thought I killed almost everything than I was surprised when I saw a single kill :D on the mission result screen.

     

    I've managed only one or two kill with these bombs because their damage radius seems small (I am not sure if its realistic or not) while with arak armor piercing I could easily manage to achieve higher kill counts. (3-4) I guess 5-6 is possible on a convoy in close formation if you set your flight path properly.

     

    Hey Sharkh, let me know if you feel like doing a co-op Viggen mission on a HUNAF server for example!

  6. I have a simple mission where my Viggen is based at Nalchik. From the mountains not too far from the airport, a convoy of 6 enemy units including several armed ones (T-72) and some unarmed ones, move down the mountain road, across some small villages in a valley. The road they travel often leads through forests.

     

    If I were to employ the Viggen to eliminate the convoy or part of the convoy, which weapon would be the best choice? How would one normally spot these vehicles? Will they be visible on the radar? Or should I visually find them?

     

    How would you guys do?

  7. If you guys are using custom missions, mods etc, share them here as well, attach the mission, let me know what kind of mods, anything out of the ordinary, I use a very clean vanilla install, and I am not seeing these issues.

     

    And dxdiag file so I can see your specs, ect.

     

    Absolutely no custom mods. Only official stuff from your store.
