I’m aware of that. I’m just asking if he told you it was active only after the indicators were solid, since there’s a 15 second delay between the time you flip the switch and the time it comes on.

My only advice is to slow down. You need to be able to roll over before you can sit up; sit up before you can stand; stand before you can walk; and walk before you can run. Trying to do it all RIGHT NOW can only end as an exercise in frustration. Once you’ve decided to slow down and catch your breath, follow all the excellent advice given above.

Excuse my ignorance. How do you know that ECM engaged 2 seconds after launch? Just curious.

If he can’t get beyond 450 (assuming straight line flight), then there is indeed a problem. It’s been years since I’ve spent much time in the F-15C. So I took a quick refresher flight this AM. Taking off with 3 bags and full missiles and fuel, there was no problem exceeding 450 at both near sea level and high altitude (30+ thousand feet). If he’s referring to turning and burning, that’s something different.

Whether or not there's a problem would depend mostly on what altitude you are flying at and what you have hanging off of your wings and fuselage. And are you referring to IAS or TAS?

Ummm…he was agreeing with you.

So I wonder if @-Vindicator- ever got his situation resolved.

Just a note on mods keeping you from opening a TRK file. You can edit out the mod reference in the mission file. Unzip the TRK file and open the enclosed mission file with NotePad++. The reference will be right at the top. What to delete will be obvious.

Which makes sense, if you have a low IR signature. He can see you and aim at you but, until he is able to get a lock on you, he won’t be able to launch.

Mission creators and, I think, multiplayer servers can restrict the use of external views so that only the cockpit view is available. If that’s the case, you won’t have external views available in the TRK file, unless you edit it to enable them. Or you could try opening the TRK file in the Mission Editor, enabling external views, and saving it. I’ve never tried the Mission Editor approach myself but I think it should work.

Ummm…since it’s an ABF warhead, wouldn’t the kill radius also be the kill distance? Anything within 15 meters distance of the warhead blast would be “killed”.

No. You actually have the landing light on, when the switch is in the фонарь посад position in your image. I can tell because they angle off to the left. And the taxi lights are on in the рулeж image. It’s deceptive in DCS because the landing lights are designed to throw a focused beam far into the distance. Hitting the ground, where they are in your image, they should be dazzlingly bright. But, in the sim, they are the same intensity whether lighting the ground immediately in front of you or 500 meters away. The taxi lights, on the other hand, are more diffused and light the ground immediately in front of you. The settings from the outside: LANDING LIGHTS: TAXI LIGHTS:

You might want to double check the UI layer for conflicts, if you haven’t already. If you still can’t find anything, does it work with the keyboard commands with the stick unplugged? With the stick plugged in? The most likely culprit remains an undiscovered conflict. DCS updates like to surreptitiously change assignments.

Welcome back to the Flanker.

If by "Deviation Circle" you mean the little circle and not the larger Director Circle, that was certainly not the case for the Caucasus and I don't recall ever seeing it on the Persian Gulf map. As for the Caucasus, check the date in this discussion and I've been involved in a number of similar discussions since then. In a sense though, you are right in that you could make a precision landing at any airfield. You still can. Keep the director circle centered in the aircraft datum, while coming down the glide slope, and you'll end up on the tire marks. That's true for the Caucasus and PG maps and, I imagine, all the other modern maps. You're just missing the smaller circle. But it's been that way for a long time.

No one is pretending they make sense. They don’t have to make sense. They just have to exist with the country/countries willing to enforce them. …

TRK file in this thread: Caucasus building indestructability reported by NineLine to devs on Jan 2. So give it time.

It's been that way for years, if not since the start. There are, I think 6 approaches in total in the Caucasus. In the ME, their approach information is in blue. All the rest are in white. It may be the same for other maps. I've never bothered to check.

Oh, stop exaggerating. You can always do F/A-18C and F-16C vs MiG-15bis scenarios.

Don’t know about the first (and don’t have an opportunity to check) but Mineralnye Vody, if memory serves, does not have the required PRMG landing system. Try Mozdok which does and see if it works there.

There’s no reason not to reset it. It’s just that, for now in DCS, there’s usually little reason to do so.

I guess, if you want to fly like an Eagle, set it to the aerodrome elevation. In practice, I seldom change it unless I’m flying in low visibility.

Ahhh. Point 5 has been in effect for years. While they will fix FC3 bugs, they will not add features to existing aircraft nor create new FC3 aircraft. So it’s not abandonware. Simply not developmentware.

Following up on Virgo47’s issue related here— —I tried a cold ramp start and discovered that, when I attempted to request start up, Soganlug is not in the ATC menu as a selection. TRK attached. With a hot ramp start, Soganlug can be called for permission to taxi but there is no response. TRK attached. And, finally, Virgo47’s issue. While airborne, Soganlug ATC can be called and you will be directed to the correct point for landing but the wrong runway name will be provided. When landing on runway 32, you will be told you are landing on 14 and vice-versa. TRKs attached in Virgo47’s thread.
