yeh but i dont have 1. basics of it are. 2 waypoints set in mission editor full ins alignment done navgrid setup fine and both waypoints showing in correct places on navgrid. nav screen thinks the waypoint are 100s of miles away from where they should be and in a different direction entirely

all 3 missed, not really complaining about that (although ive never had 3 all miss before) its the fact i had to got stt in the 1st place and simply couldnt get anything in tws

not much to see really, all you see is me turning in and firing a single phoenix (in stt) bloody thing missed lol and another that apparantly went for chaff . tried to do it and it says invalid file

i have the track (long though) but how do i put it here?

waypoints are in the mission, i didnt do anything

how do i upload a tacview?

mine absolutely refused to get any tws solution with 5 mach 2 14s coming straight at me last night

the trim thing is another intermittent problem we have, its annoying as hell too

last night i did a mission and went solo vs 4-5 enemy f14s screaming in at mach 2. tws REFUSED to give me a firing solution, i repeatedly heard a double click from the back and never got a firing solution. ended up stt 1 of them and despite a closure speed of mach 3! the missile missed from 35 miles. damn thing was tracking lovely then just straightened up at the last second. bandit wasnt turning much and certainly wasnt notching. any suggestions?

what altitude does the cat hit max speed? and is it the same for the a and b?

1 time i got top the correct location and 30 seconds later the same waypoint was showing 260 miles away so id be stunned if drift caused that 1. last week they were a similer distance away straight from take off but they were in the correct position on navgrid, i found that very odd

ive had exactly the same thing a few (random) times. interestingly mine goes the other way lol. at the end of 1 mission it was approx 80 degrees off so almost vertical! and that was a land based mission with a max g for the whole flight of 7 and it was going BEFORE i got into any high g moves

any ideas what could cause a fully aligned jet to have waypoints showing 100s of miles away in a totally different direction to where they actually are? theyre in the correct places on navgrid and no damage or over g has occured etc

tacan tells what direction and distance is to the ship. if the tacan and the radial dont line up then you have to fly offset to the tacan until they do. eg say the tacan is 180 degrees (so youre due north of the carrier) and the brc is 270 (carrier heading west). if you wanted to come in directly behind the boat then youd have to travel somewhere south east until the tacan lined up with the radial, then you turn into the boat. in reality you dont need to arrive at the boat from behind in case 1 landings, you can enter the stack/pattern from any angle

with the ability to ditch it if it costs fps

set the radial to the carriers course then fly until you line the radial up with the tacan. then youre directly behind the boat. the landing deck is something like -10 degrees from the carriers course (brc)

i cant even tell if the lights are on or off now lol

your mrs been using the chair???

thats where acceleration vs top speed comes into play. my guess is at closer ranges acceleration is king but the further you go the more top speed matters

we all ran a repair on our dcs and it seems to have fixed alot of the problems. still have real trouble finding a bandit coming head on though

try running a repair on your dcs, that seems to have fixed most of our problems with the radar/datalink/nav

i know, you know what i mean though, its easier to say that though

yeh, it doesnt display the numbers. im posting this for a friend and ive told him to turn datalink off and see what appears

what would cause tws to fail to lock a target head on at co alt? 600+ knots closure and not notching/beaming

i rarely use it but only if im overshooting a formation join, only ever done it a hand full of times
