In a software program where you do actually have to know what, where, how long, etc. yes, it is how it works. Stage and game audio recording are very different things. Sounds like it was done wrong. That’s a shame. This is how orphaned code and resources happen. And it’s now more work to fix than it would have to do upfront, that won’t be done now. The move fast and break things mindset as usual.

A DCS-isms section should be SOP for all modules.

Well, you do. Some of us are really only here for one plane. My reasoning is simple. This is a game, not a professional Partial task trainer. A real, and comprehensive manual is PART of a Sim Game. Especially in relation to NATOPS -1A material, and more so in relation to the DCS game limitations. Software as a whole industry has a serious deficiency in documentation these past few decades. And it only gets worse every year.

Dono, never touched the hornet. It does have significantly smaller engines further back with intakes much less RIGHT at ear level. I run, "Hearing as in Helmet" or whatever, and it sounds like it gets quieter when the canopy is shut. You're really getting no change at all in engine sound volume?

Profiles for using the AIM-54 for one clearly given the regular "This mizzle bad" posts. RIO training material is terrible, and trying to learn it with Iceman is neigh impossible.

Remember when they insisted the Manual HAD to be an online HTML document because they were going to update it all the time? instead it’s just a web browser choking historical document.

I mean, the engines are bolted to the same hunk of metal both the canopy and the seat are bolted too. Although even they were supposed to have been drowned out by the Pressurization and Ventilation system in the cockpit.

Any cassette left for long enough in a vehicle will spontaneously become Queens Greatest Hits. It’s a Quantum uncertainty thing.

Yea, I was more talking about a non Heatblur solution. Never underestimate bored nerds. HB was one too once. What still baffles me is you guys really didn’t make a list when you were doing it? You were just winging the whole massive voice recording undertaking.

I wonder, is there an output trail of what jester audio file is being played? If it was exportable one could construct their own 3rd party subtitles app with subtitles tied to audio file calls.

Interesting. That means the model got a rebake. Wonder what else got polished up.

Problem is in real life scale you now have the problem of not being able to move the pilot bodies leg in order to see the kneeboard easier. Maybe it’s just my G2, but it gets grumpy looking straight down. It movement limits as well as tries to fall off.

As they keep making the atmosphere and environment more complex it has come up more. Especially as it dynamically changes over time.

Also most importantly NO weather. Like at all. The current replay system can’t cope with how much is going on now just in the environment of the sim. It’s strictly a diagnostic tool now as it records inputs but it can’t actually “replay” anything anymore. A new solution needs to basically pull all states of objects and puppet not re-fly the “replays”. Basically Tacview but driving the DCS stuff. Big BIG CSV files for every frame. Not just an input log.

Why do you have the warning lights test going still? Once the gear goes up you shouldn't see any AOA indicator.

No you’re correct. Jester can’t make real mission decisions, but short of running some external Jester replacer software that gives you complete control of the back seat from the front, Jester is needed to run the back. Which puts him in conflict when thinking has to be used. The LANTERN is really not a single pilot usable thing unless you learn how to trust Iceman which, you can’t he’s worse than opponent AI. Regular TCS CCRP (it’s called something nonstandard) and buddy lasing is all you can reasonably do single pilot to actually accomplish missions or in sandbox.

Yes you need to wait for the bags to deflate and the elevator interlock to engage. In the real plane and in the sim’s guts it has a stop you can’t move past until that happens. On controllers or dragging with the mouse or mouse wheel you get a position conflict the sim solves by ignoring you. It’s why I left the emergency wing sweep lever off my HOTAS And just drive it back by grabbing with the mouse. It has some weird handle up handle down goofiness too. I just fumble with it until I get what I want. The real mechanism, to sim translation of it is imperfect. It uses a lot of tactile feedback in reality. But also in reality you use it two whole times in a flight, both times being stopped on the deck/ground. Unless something breaks if random failures are on. Also I believe the original throttle assignment was something like “Cutoff else Idle” at least for the Warthog since being in cutoff is a constant button hold down in the Warthog.

This is why the whole endeavor is insane! DCS is a never ending moving target.

Lost me at SuperCarrier.

Rankine to Celsius Maybe? But how many people know about Rankine?

You do know when the Tomcat and the AIM-54 came into service right? The F-14 used some of the FIRST single Chip Microprocessors. https://www.wired.com/story/secret-history-of-the-first-microprocessor-f-14/

Except we don’t have 80’s Su and MiGs really. Especially not under FC3. They’re more capable than they would be if they were made to current DCS rigor. What do you call the most expensive computer of 1972? Scrap.

Units AoA are equivalent to degrees in spacing. But are not meant to indicate the ACTUAL alpha. It’s an abstracted scale for ease of use compared to dealing with negative numbers due to the wings angle of incidence compared to the AoA sensor on the nose. Think Kelvin vs Celsius.

Also to everything everyone else said, the Flanker was built as a counter to the F-14 and F-15 fighters. Everything about it is designed to out fight the pre AIM-120 twin engined fighters. You really can’t use AWG-9 TWS on them well, and with their IRST they’ll see you and your giant VW Beetle of a Fox 3 coming from a good deal away. OTOH, you can get them running cold which puts them at a strong disadvantage until you get in Fox-2 range. Then you better hope they have the cheap heat seekers on.
