Ok so I have not yet tried doing it with the host being the JTAC and me being the A-10 I am available to test it if you are interested.

No I was not host, the apache guy was the host. but it was not a dedicated server.

Hi I have completed a test with several players and myself as a human JTAC. the hornet could easily spot the laser via tgp. the apache could easily guide his hellfire using my laser and could spot the IR pointer in his night vision goggle. F-16C could spot the laser via tgp easily as well. A-10CII could also track the target via tgp and spot the IR pointer on his goggles. [he was struggling with his tgp since he hadn't flown the plane for a very long time]. here the track files : mine (JTAC) : TEST_Cipher.trk airplane track files :Test_OP_IRPLST-20240203-201046.trk I can confirm that I did not detect any problems with CA JTAC. I suggest all participants to perform a slow repair, delete game cache (metaashers). let me know if your problem were solved. Thanks.

Hi sorry for the delay I have investigated the track files you posted. I have recreated the situation and I could easily detect the laser via default AI JTAC. but something I noticed was the F-18 initiated the LST far before the laser detection range but however in my personal test I tried the same in further range but still managed to pick up the laser at 15nm. to make sure you are searching correctly make sure the targeting pod is placed in proximity close enough so the gimbal would have LOS towards the target, (there was an instant where the F-18 was in a pretty close butt out of LOS relative to the target.). try different laser emitters. if nothing worked try performing a slow repair. I will share you my personal test track file to show you how it worked. here is the track file : Hornet_LST.trk I can confirm that this is not an aircraft module problem at least for the F-18. if you want to make sure that the laser fired via combined arms player is actually working, ask a player to fly an AH-64 with laser hellfires, and ask the pilot to manually select the hellfires. try lasing, the apache pilot can easily pick up laser by only looking at the zone within 9.9 Km. sadly I got no one around to help me perform the test but I think you can do it with your friend. also keep that in mind that IR pointer =/= laser so don't expect an ordinance or LST/LSS to pickup IR pointers, they are only visual pointers working with night visions, make sure you are using the laser with properly matching codes. let me know the results. thanks

I will investigate tomorrow

Phantom Phorever.

@xanstin, make sure other players LST or LSS code does match with your designator code, and they are searching the right spot.

Hi it has something to do with the livery files (Skins) for the E-2 and S-3. also there is usually one log file is enough try posting the log file in : =log analyser discord channel of ED's official discord, it's a great tool is there any livery file that needs to be downloaded or something?

I agree. I remember spending almost half an hour to try fix a friend's network issue while all he had to do was updating his game. I think a message "Client version mismatch" or something like that would do it

I didn't even have DICE installed at the first place, the time I managed to load in successfully I had my mods removed, seems like something is causing it to suck all the RAM to a point of no return. let me know if VRAM thing helped

The short answer is most likely yes but not anytime soon

as someone who studied and listened to various Iranian fighter pilot interviews I can tell that there is a misconception about level of skill of Iraqi Air Force. Iraqis were very skilled and experienced pilots they had powerful radar networks including good GCI allowing them to fly deep within Iran. they had plenty of good combat experience against Israel even more combat experience than Iranian pilots, based on interviews with former Iranian SIGNIT/ELINT officers of Iran, their GCIs somehow could get intel on presence of an F-14s in some instance which led to dozens of mission abort for Iraqi side. it was very very common that lots of Iraq planes jettisoned their bombs as soon as locked by an F-14 (commonly mentioned, mentioned by Shahram Rostami as well) they performed cooperative maneuvers to evade and destroy a considerable number of Iranian radar installations, which led to Iranian air defense units work together with the air force, The Operation Fath Ol Mobin proved cooperation of air defense and air offense can be game changer sometimes. anyway back to the topic , Iraqis also had their own techniques of evading the F-14 and AWG-9 (as described by one of our former pilots whose name I forgot) i.e performing ZigZag which we call Cranking to the left and right but interesting part is, these maneuvers did not help them as they got close as below 20 nautical miles, missiles fired within that range had a really good PK and I don't remember reading somewhere they miss within that window, except Colonel Mazandarani's Phoenix was missed because he fired the phoenix at a fast and cold target despite it was within 15nm range and he almost got detained for that. interesting part is they have done lots of these tactics using the old SPO-10 RWRs , they heavily relied on their GCI as EWRs however. Iraqis also used ECM a lot, the most powerful Jammers used by Iraqi airforce were the ones used on their Mirage-F-1s, these jammers managed to disable many of our HAWK systems but due to the fact that the ground based radar installations were exposed to hot and humid weather, based on interviews and mentions in Tom Cooper's book ; the Iraqis used very advanced ECMs against AWG-9 but the it could easily counter the jam and do it's job without any issue. I don't really like the way some people want to represent the phoenix as a slow fat brick only able to crash into straight flying big bombers. Phoenix is a very capable missile, and it is proven to be a very good and reliable weapon against agile fighters even in DCS with current state. regarding missile kinematic performance I have almost 0 data to verify how accurate it is performing vs real life but I believe the PK of DCS Phoenix will significantly improve once we get a much realistic or advanced missile API. personally I manage to fire the phoenixes against AI above 30k feet and Mach 0.9 and I always get +90% PK, I also have a good PK with it down on the deck , if fired within NEZ I always score a kill (~7nm). If you guys are interested in hearing first hand memories of our Iranian Tomcat pilots I highly suggest you to follow this youtube channel , it is in Persian but using a powerful AI service such as Gboard you can translate and use the details provided in this channel : Alireza Hamzei is a retired F-14 test and instructor pilot he has a youtube channel and he used to interview veteran pilots of Iran-Iraq War : https://www.youtube.com/@AlirezaHamzei/videos the content or the details shared by our veterans are valid they are not propaganda bold claims because Iranian national airforce was always opposed by Islamic leadership, the leaders always treated as our airforce pilots with poor trust and always disregarded their credits, they gave all the credits to the IRGC and corrupt IRGC officers who were poorly trained with awful results in war, they always insulted and discredited by IRGC and religious figures so it was their own benefit to share the public non but honest reports to gain the true reputation they deserve. I'm so sorry for the long message but I hope it helps the community. Sincerely

I would definitely love to have the F-13 as a separate module, it had much better maneuverability than the Bis and very good visibility with its bubble canopy design, the design so good that even China continued using it for their F-7 jets

Ok so I included my second SSD as extra VRAM , launched the game in MT without upscaling and it managed to work.

Thanks will try and report tomorrow

forgot to include it the specs on the signature. I set the special options to low_GPU but it is still a big struggle to load dcs.log

upon loading a MP server DCS stops responding as loading into the F-15E whether as pilot or wso.

I just checked the benchmark and that was a significant boost, I am not a skilled coder nor a developer but based on my observation on this if DCS codes could be upgraded without major compatibility problems I believe it could take it to the next level so yeah a +1 from me.

Mystery debunked ! Thanks

Hi everyone I was going to test something until I noticed the Hornet has a ghost weapon weight of 130 lbs with following conditions : - no weapon - all pylons removed - 0% gun ammo -0 chaff and 0 flares I noticed it in the mission editor so no track files are needed for verification. - It is good to mention that the M61 weight is not considered as "weapon weight" because internally it is part of an aircraft hence its weight is around 202 lbs not even close to 130 lbs , - [Correct as it is ] I checked the Viper and it had 0 Weapon weight with a clean zero ammo configuration. conclusions : this could be either an error in the mission editor, an error or bug to deduct pylon weights or really an extra dead weight on the aircraft. Sincerely - Cipher

good touch. option for tanker to report before making a turn ( 5 seconds before turn) to prevent surprise disconnect from tanker. Hi I already reported T-72B3 to be playable. it would be really great to also have PT-76 playable.

Hello CH Thank you for all your efforts. would you consider adding guerilla warfare assets such as Toyota trucks with 106guns or missile launchers, cheap drones and ...etc.? Thanks

Please make T-72B3 playable

Please include all liveries for Neutral coalition (United Nations)

Hi for Mission editor Please add more condition options for moving zones. i.e "part of group within moving zone" "part of group out of moving zone" "part of coalition within moving zone" "part of coalition out of moving zone" "part of country within moving zone" "part of country out of moving zone" + "part of country in/out of zone" "Missile within moving zone"
