Would’ve been great to know about these changes that would effect our servers ahead of time… our Group flight night was a fail tonight due to this new “safeguard”.

Dont get me wrong, I still have a blast with the module. But I believe its fair to keep in mind all that we are still missing for the DCS F-16C. A great summary was posted back in 2024, then this topic was locked: TLDR Version: Major Missing/Incomplete Systems Damage Model – Basically nonexistent beyond wings/fuel leaks. No combat system damage., Pilot Fault List (PFL) / Maintenance Fault List (MFL) – No proper fault reporting or error messages., Steerpoints & Navigation – Missing SEAD steerpoints, threat points, proper CRUS TOS behavior., airspace navaids ect. Digital Terrain System (DTS) – Entirely absent. No PGCAS, TRN, or digital terrain awareness., ECM – Ineffective jamming. No control over bands, poor logic, no realistic jamming effects., Combat Capability Gaps SEAD – Broken ECM, no HARM DL/TI/GS modes, no emitter memory, bad HAD integration., RWR (AN/ALR-56M) – Incorrect symbology. No threat priority, no missile distance cues., A/A Radar – No COAST mode, over-sensitive to notching, STT is unreliable, broken HAFUs., ect A/G Radar & Weapons – Broken radar mapping. JDAM/JSOW/GBU-24 logic still incomplete or missing. CCIP bombing is off. Some weapons not implemented at all., Other Major Issues Lighting – Poor NVG compatibility. Flood lights weak or missing. Night ops are frustrating., Textures – Cockpit (behind ejection seat not modelled) and external textures are low quality. Custom liveries have had to pick up the slack... Missing panels, details, etc., Tankers/Refueling – No boom physics. Poor lighting. No feedback from boom ops. TACAN logic is wrong., Documentation – Manual is outdated, often incorrect. Leads to confusion and misinformation., "Jealousy" Issues (Things Other Modules Have) No ARC-210 radio, HSD Expanded Data, IFF, or HAVE QUICK — all of which are present in the F/A-18C, A-10C, F-15E, etc., No L16 Mission Assignment, which is present in M-2000C and applicable to this jet., Many of these are simple DED page updates and already exist in other modules.

Its a great WW2 module. My only gripe, is the audio quality needs improvements.

Any chance to get the Chinese SAM and other units integrated into the DCS core?

Farewell Nevada... the v303FG is transitioning to DCS Germany

Please bring this situation to an end!

This is excellent Currenthill, Please consider bringing the Chinese PLA SAM assets into the core sooner than later!!

Our current Fighter Group mission file is patiently waiting for this new feature. Thank you so much!!

Outstanding. Thankyou!!

You’ll need to coordinate with your flight members to ensure they all input the same STNs.

Good to hear this is modeled realistically then. I know originally EWRs would show - but one of the updates over the last year must have made the change. Thanks

ED has some potential here - I believe many would re-purchase a DCS Nevada Redux if it ACTUALLY included populated ranges themselves and added the military bases that should be on the map now (plus would be extending it to the north to include Hill and the UTTR).

This would be great - especially since the current EWRs don’t even show up on the F16 HAD/HTS anymore…

Hmm, I can confirm the DCS version is the same as the tracks DCS version.

Lately I can never get a Trk Replay to load - and it ends up just crashing my game with this error: Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Saved game feature will help out Dedicated server owners tremendously. Especially those that are running custom Squadron/Group campaigns. Thanks!

I actually just had to completely wipe Windows 11, and do a fresh install. Windows 11 has given me some troubles too, especially the latest updates. Something happened in the latest Windows update in how the OS interacts with your SSD. Which is now causing BSOD and Windows files to corrupt... The only way to solve this, is to update your SSD firmware through Samsung or Western Digital. After I did this, it has resolved my issues. More information on this hardware/software bug here: https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/comments/1gwdjhg/if_you_have_a_wd_ssd_and_are_experiencing_crashes/ Make sure your SSD is not listed here. If it is, you MUST update your firmware to fix this issue: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/western-digital-releases-fix-for-windows-11-24h2-bsods-users-are-strongly-advised-to-update-their-ssd-firmware
