DLEGION

eh… i had the feeling, but told myself i just imagined it. now i see this and i feel a bit better. anyway this ED behaviour of sneak in downgrades and make no patch notes about that, really makes me think they have something to hide. i dont get the reason…. the only coming to my mind is to make other planes shine… but thats really too ridicolous to be true. Plus , real pilots like Mover, Gownky ecc, keeps telling that F18c is way more fast at accelerating, less draggy, and more manouvrable… for god sake why they keep downgrading it, and without info ?? i dont get it.

hem.. have you alink or something ? sorry but i'm no expert of the forums! thanks !

well.. time ago i made a campaign to play with some friends… but sadly they dropped DCS, and now its useless. maybe someone out there will find it useful… dunno. its a multiplayer COOP campaign for F18 and F16 (at the moment there are 5 F18 slots and 2 F16, but number can be increased or changed easily). it can also be played in PvP with a little editing, if needed. oh its in the Caucasus, so everyone can play it. the missions are quite different, explore a bit every aspect of F18 and its weapons, also in different weather and time of the day. Still Leaves almost total freedom of choice about how play the mission , what weapon take ecc.. well, for info, bugs or else, lets use this topic. to use it just copy the 21 missions files in your mission folder (for a dedicated server you should know), then i usually open a server on my PC, select the desired mission, and let other connect. here the link to my cloud folder to download it: https://mega.nz/folder/T1p1kL7a#zxY0KphzIqgl49rM_kORYw hope someone will find it useful, bye !

eh… at least with words, its a step in the right direction. i just really hope that FACTS will follow to this words… for what it counts, i loved DCS in the good old times, but in the latest years there was a downgrade spiral that make DCS really NOT enjoyable almost at any level , recently even in gun dogfight with bugged radar. have so many toys, but having almost noone working as it should and this screwing missions is really frustrating… plus each patch screwing more things than it fixed...was a nightmare for me... anyway… lets stay positive… after almost a year that i'm really discouraged… even if are just words… well makes me hope a tiny bit that they will take the good road again… quality work and not just modules spam, bug fixing and priority to complete products altready in game, and maybe some love to the core of DCS, its terrain, its weather, all the features that makes DCS what it is. mah… lets hope guys !

its exponential… if it kills 2500 bugs… it will generates 25000 new bugs ! LOL (used to be a joke… but nowdays…you know...)

ok, i found a way: if i reamove ALL waypoints of the bombers, and just let the attack order, it works (each plane shoots all (3) missiles at once). obviously… i need waypoints...

heh, thanks for the suggestions… but for a decent realism i cant place 50 tu22 to hope they shoot 1 missiles each… and i need 50 missiles fired exactly at same moment to overcome a ship missiles and CIWS defence… @northstar98 , is exactly what i did… thats why i'm quite disappointed… the options to make it work in theory are there… its just that they do not do what they are supposed to do ! any other workaround guys ?

hello i'm trying a ultra simple thing, that obviously being DCS, dont seems to work. make a group of 4 TU22m3 shoot >> a volley << of missiles to a ship, in hope to overcome its godlike defences. so the point is to shoot , all at same time, all missiles on board (seems to be 3 at max). i tried everything, even setting manually the attack quantity, but this dont work, planes shoot 1 missile each, sometimes 1 of the four TU22 dont even fire at the same moment of his comrades… mah. anyone can help me on this? thanks.

i can confirm this, in F18 my wings keep getting ripped off if i fly in a wake of another plane. i'm usually dogflighting, so distance is somewhere around 4000 feet and pulling around 7G.

i was telling long time ago. but the ED train is still heading the same way… i posted many suggestions, pratical and possible, that would have pushed ED into the future, but no way...they like things as they are. i'll wait the day F18 is complete (not just out of EA) and bug-free to buy something again, but i really, really wish to see a total change of policy, and get faith in the company again. but sadly… seems that will just not happen.

...lol.. the only thing working on F18 was gun fighting for me. now also this is unusable, vertical scan dont lock at all, as most A/A radar modes. i dont know how you keep breaking things that were already working… but what about just test at least the most basic features before realasing a patch?

really… its nosense complex workload... i hope in a fix or at least an option in DCS to make it "old style" .

eh maybe i'm poor and i does not deserve DCS, thanks for pointing out. anyway i'm curious to hear a logical reason to complicate real pilots life for no technical reason. good luck correcting laser on-the-fly while bombs were already on theyr way like before.

if that is how it works in real life, ok...fine, … but i really hope there will be an option to use it "old simple style" , because not everyone has a warthog and VR, i use a hotasX with just 1 hatswitch to control head movement, zoom and all the plane features, and i was able to use TGP, but now its really impossible to lock a moving target in a column, especially in real battle situation (wags Always show one simple task in the perfect training condition, ok, but when you're already busy with many things, this is unbearable). its not to destroy realism, but we have to realize we're not in the real cockpit of an F18 too.

noone cares ? it just screwed the dogfight abilty for people not using trackIR or VR… has been reported ? will be ignored ?

tried every possible way. it will lock just in CCD, while never in TV. can someone show a video or something of it locking in TV ? anyway seems really nosense cumbersome, be it real or not. why for god sake would not be possible slew it. mah.

in ACM vertical scan mode, the radar sometimes get stuck in a pattern that is not vertical one. video here:

so.. this is not a bug ?? for god sake, why make this so unhandy ? it was ok before .. now its almost impossible point track a moving target in a real battle situation, plus consider most people dont have a real F18 cockpit at home, and, for example, i'm using a single hatswitch to look around, move TGP ecc, i was perfectly able to use TGP before that, now i cant track anything moving !

so…another working feature that now dont work. great.

selecting TWS allow 1147 degrees lateral search

litening targeting pod can lock a plane, but if i lock that plane with radar, it loses the tracking ! its total nosense to me, i'm no expert at all, but seems logic to have a pod that automatically lock radar target instead of the opposite! is it a bug or a WIP or planned to stay like it is now ?

no, he's not a troll, even if its easier mark him as one and move on. i realize we all have very different experiences with DCS, but there are people that actually play this game, and when playtime is 50% playing game and 50% fighting absurd bugs (just to name one, the latest introduced with latest patch, on F18 infinite bar scan and up to 1140 degrees of radar cone) , the experience become really, and i mean really irritating. an irritated customer is not a troll. i'm sincerely happy if someone find DCS enjoyable, i honestly dont know how its possible, but still i'm happy for them. sadly, i cant find it enjoyable, i limit myself to gun dogfights because i dont want get angry everytime i play, and after 1 or 2 hours mission, getting a bug that screw everything, makes people really angry, in my opinion. Miller...i totally understand you… but i got that ED has its autopilot ON and nothing will change, this kind of post are not welcome here, so i strongly suggest to accept the reality as it is, enjoy what works and ignore the rest, try to not get sucked into the hate… it will not change anything anyway.

lol just to name F18 bugs take days…. i agree, please fix bugs. stop new feature, just fix, please.

F18c radar go up to 250 bars scan, 1140 degrees lateral cone. just to let you know degrees are at max 360, lol. tried TWS and RWS, a total mess.

honestly in past years i was quite worried about development progression too. but...now after the last months of patches, i really fear every patch will degrade even more the already poor performance. i feel like every match can be the last one. its an horrible feeling.
