Please add more AFRC liveries, like the 93FS Makos for example to the core. Thanks!

Nothing has been removed from the mod, but unfortunately the mod developer @SFJackBauerhas been MIA the last few months, and compatibility issues with the latest versions of DCS are beginning to show.

Feel free to get to know us via Discord or our forums in the meantime.

For DCS purpose, wouldn't this be a bug then? I understand irl this could be a factor - but for DCS if the hardpoint is power on, regardless if before or after the TGP is re-armed/loaded onto the jet... one would think the TGP will power on. I am not seeing why DCS simulates one to cycle the power switch off and then back on during a re-arm sync of the TGP. ED please advise.

Wags mentioned the DCS ATC would be overhauled back in 2012...

Bump, As Snoopy reported earlier - this issue just occurred again to myself and a couple other users last night in the v303FG. Seems completely random as well.

B-52H should also beable to load Sniper TGP ingame. Maybe someday...

SHIRE FLT heading out to GUAM ATCAA-2 to get signed off on Baseline Intercepts

https://v303rdfightergroup.com/ also is one of the last remaining Groups providing active weekly A-10C II ops.

Very disappointed with the low res B52H as well. Figured by now there would have been the higher quality versions ingame as shown in ED teasers.

I had the same issue, and the screws would actually come loose after time, creating a loose dead zone again. The way I fixed this, was superglue the screw threads and then screw them back in. Been almost 6 months with lots of use and no issues.

Made the same request back in January, for those reasons. Sure would be nice for our future “deployments”.

Bump. Hope one day this is a thing!

We are happy to announce that in prep for our upcoming combat deployment to Afghanistan, we have opened up the pipeline for DCS F-16C pilots. If interested in flying with us, the v93 Fighter Squadron 'Makos' would like to encourage you to come on by, and say hello on our Discord. You may also drop an application on our website. An overview of our Training Pipeline is here: https://www.v303rdfightergroup.com/index.php?pages/recruiting/ Attack!

Good to hear, thanks!

@Viper33No reason to get sassy towards @Swift. From what I’ve read about F16 defense and how it effects radar scope - ECM jammer can cause some interesting effects to radar returns. As we all know, the jammer is an active emission that can be seen on your radar scope. Using it advertises your presence from much longer ranges that you could normally hope to detect a target. You will see a jamming target even with your radar in standby. You don't need to emit a signal intended to bounce back from him. Your radar can detect the signal he's emitting all by itself (thus causing false target bricks on the FCR). A radar signal is nothing more than a noise ping which has a frequency and a wavelength. Since conical scan radars use the phase of the target returns to generate error signals, an inverse gain deception jammer attempts to alter the phase by inducing fake signals into the antennas. Also, by altering the amplitude of the signal, the jammer induces large errors into the tracking loop. To do this, the jammer must determine the frequency, PRF, and scan rate of the victim radar. It then transmits signals that change the phase and amplitude of the target signal, resulting in a signal 180 degrees out of phase with the actual target. This 180-degree error rapidly drives the antenna off the target and causes a break-lock. Because of the signals being transmitted is the jammer itself is a perfect source for your radar to detect. You may not wish to use your jammer at long ranges because of this factor, but you'll probably wish to use it once you are sure that he knows you're there. You'll want to do this before he spikes or locks you, not when you are hard spiked. By then it's often too late. If he spikes or bugs you, he's got altitude, range, bearing, aspect and course on you and can use this information to his advantage. He may have already fired a missile. Once the radar has locked on to you and all the power of the attack radar is focused on you, it's harder for the jammer to break the lock than it is for the jammer to prevent the lock in the first place. Very often, once locked, turning the jammer on will not break the lock, but again it depends on range, aspect and other variables which you'll have to be flexible in assessing when to use your jammer.

null Ever since the latest DCS update, replays consistently now show "Mission load fail".

Bump - this is still borked. In the current implementation, bomb on coords still doesnt work and neither does VIS. You either have a point track and lase for ranging or you miss...

Bump, this is not “correct as is”

I think the argument comes into play whether you believe simulating extra DED pages, WPN options, or other "exspurt stuff" as you say "worthless simulation" - is the fact that there are 3rd party developers that go through great length and craftmanship to attempt to include said extra features and seek to "raise the bar" further. If other devs can do so, why not expect ED to do the same with such an iconic module such as the DCS F-16C. It should be no surprise people are going to want this aircraft simulated to the best of its (public known) abilities...

Thank you for taking the time to write this all out, and continuing to state the reality of the current module. Standing up for what us Viper folk desire to see in the future. This post should absolutely be valuable for the ED team to review.

Wanted to report in, same issue here. As of latest update, MP replays will always crash. There was a point in time - where the replays were working fine earlier this year. Hope to see this fixed again soon!
