  1. I vaguely recall somewhere- and it was probably in my Falcon 4 days, that if the engine was below a certain RPM, the EPU would kick in, and thus you could not run idle for too long or it'd run it out of fuel.

     

    So, you're not alone in that thinking. I must be misremembering though, because I cannot find anything to that effect.

  2. I am guessing it is used by the Hornet to contact ships in distress or as part of customs or sanction enforcement. Whilst not strictly needed in DCS, I guess it could be useful in some mission scenarios for realism.

  3. Like many parts of the HUG mods to the F/A-18A, there's no public documentation on how those dispensers are integrated into the RAAF Hornet, any implementation would be pure assumption and they'd no longer be able to call it an F/A-18C on the store page. It would be the same as asking for the AIM-132 and no one is doing that.

     

     

    Well one would think it'd simply use the 'other' options in the countermeasures programs.

  4. Just had a server crash - no usable track file.

     

    See below information. I sent through the crashlog/debug via the post crash collector about 10 minutes prior to this message

     

     

    (Relevant - as I see it) Log output follows

  5. BIGNEWY, I know I spoke to you about this on discord but after talking with some peers we all agree 1 hour is too short , so decided to report it here.

     

    Would it be possible to make it configurable via lua function. Something like env.setRunwayRepairTime = [seconds] ?

     

    Side note, a env.setBridgeRepairTime would be cool too ;)

  6. Please see attached mission.

     

    Drone will appear at 1 minute revealing hte position of the red tanks, then disappear after 1 minute, and they will stay.

     

    You can use combined arms in red to move the tanks, and the blue commander will be able to see it, so its not like its their last known position (which would be kinda cool but thats an aside)

     

     

    if you extend the deactivate timer to like an hour, and use combined arms to fly the predator away, the contacts will be lost as they are no longer detected.

    predator test.miz

  7. To have an IR marker or Laser the jtac unit needs to have them.

     

    That does not include infantry units (I have asked for a JTAC specialist infantry unit), and whilst they can JTAC it will be no mark (nothing to launch it with) no laser and no ir. They also wont work at night because they cannot see.

     

    Unarmed humvee wont work in this case, so you need something like a tow humvee or I personally use a striker.

     

    Note when using stinger units in combined arms you can lase and put an IR marker on, so these may work.

  8. Well if you are going to ask to get then since the EF-2000 is incoming I'm not sure why we wouldn't ask for an E model.

     

    Actually I asked for D (AW) model. Has a higher chance of success... plus people grovelling for an E or F model has been done to death.

  9. The cheek mounted litening pod was however put in DCS for NON USN/USMC Hornets - RAAF, Spain, etc.

     

    https://www.airforce-technology.com/uncategorised/newssaab-to-deliver-bol-pods-to-australias-fa-18ab-hornet-4697189/

     

    "In 2008, Australia acquired BOL for the F/A-18A/B Hornets of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). The new order is aimed at increasing the RAAF’s operational capability."

     

    These hornets had been upgraded to essentially C standard, starting in 1999

     

     

     

    ED bends their rules frequently, and if you don't ask, you don't get.

  10. When first mounted on the aircraft the camera windows are correctly stowed to the rear to protect them, and previously when selecting STBY or OFF when you had finished using it, this also worked fine.

     

    Now the camera remains pointing forward, when either STBY or OFF is selected, correlated by the viewpoint marker on the SA page (which used to go rearward when stowed). The view however does turn off.

     

    It doesnt matter if it is cheek mounted or centreline mounted.

     

    Not a high priority thing, I know, since damage to it when landing with it unstowed is not modelled, and it otherwise seems to work ok,but thought I would let you know.
