GPS is actually modelled to some extent: if you create a mission in the editor with a date before 1994 or 1988 (don't remember exactly) GPS won't work because it wasn't used/existing IRL. Maybe, as some other users suggested, there maybe more coming in the future about GPS and INS in general. Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

Hi, I have a question for experts in Viper's avionics. From the last patch: * MAG VAR will now switch between AUT and MAN by use of the SEQ position of DCS switch. After finding the corresponding section in the ICP I was able to set magnetic Variation to manual and input some values, with the logic of East /West and 3 digits. The effect was that the compass tape on the hud adjusted accordingly. However I do not understand the need of this, I'll explain myself better: I was under the impression that by default the shown heading is always true and not magnetic. And it is done accordingly with the map (Caucasus 6.7 and PG 2.2, give or take) What is the difference between auto and manual? Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

Ciao a tutti/e, Dopo un po' di tempo che leggo il forum italiano e partecipo su quelli internazionali ho deciso di presentarmi qui. 34 anni, da sempre appassionato di aviazione con circa 25 anni di esperienza di volo simulato, dal lontano SWOTL fino a DCS, passando per quasi tutti i titoli maggiori. Da ormai 2 anni faccio parte dei TIA (vivi, vegeti, aitanti e dotati) e ne sono assai felice. Buon volo! [emoji41] Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

I had a quick exchange with Bignewy last Sunday in the official DCS discord. I asked if FM and trust were being worked on, and he replied that "the Team will be tweaking the FM as EA progresses". So if it depends on "who I talk to", I talked to one of the official ED spokepersons. The fact the the current performances are underwhelming (to say the least) is known, but it's WIP. I still have faith in the implementation of correct performances, there is no other way around to establish the *new benchmark* in an F-16C simulation. So unless: -no action is taken in 2020 Or -an official statements comes out saying "alright boys and girls, the FM is definitive, we got the right data" I wouldn't worry too much (for now) [emoji6] Regards Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

Whe did ED stated officially that the current performances are definitive and are not gonna be tuned to known values? I was under the impression that FM and engine trust were still WIP. Did I miss something? Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

The current standard skin is a placeholder, the model is still unfinished. You can find some user made skins in the DCS user file webpage. I shamelessly recommend Porcorosso86' skins. Regards Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

So at least 1 (or more depending on depth of simulation) specific sound for each different threat is coming in the future? Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

These are great tips! Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

I can confirm: left brake is "weaker" than the right brake. It's really evident as you enter the runway at low taxi speed, as you use both (full brake), the plane will steer to the right side as it's apparently stronger. Makes aligning with runway a bit difficult. Regards Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

It's already easier than drogue. If anything, ED needs to rework AAR refueling as a whole, some items off the top of my head: *Tanker stating speed at which it flies *Tanker calling turns before executing them *Possibility to control tanker flight path from f10 map (so you can keep it safe and move it closer to the Frontline as needed) *Boom effect on refueled aircraft (ie moving it around *Option for infinite tanker fuel (so it doesn't rtb after a few refuels) *Create new "hybrid" class of tanker so that KC-135mprs can refuel planes with both drogue and boom Regards Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

When you touch the runway, keep the nose upwards, roughly the gun boresight cross on +10 in the hud pitch ladder, and fully extend the airbrakes. Don't use wheel brakes yet. When you slow down to 100 knots, gently release the stick until you touch with all 3 wheels, now use the wheelbrakes and pull the stick full back. You will usually stop mid runway.

I dream of this too! Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

Hi, while in TWS, the bugged track does not show if i use EXP. Track and screens attached of 4 C130 bugged in TWS and then "disappearing" in the MFD as I cycle through them in EXP. Regards Rubberduck TWS exp bug.trk

Yes. I don't know if with today's patch you can edit "in-cockpit" the bypass as it's...a bypass, something you use instead of "programmable programs". Just save a backup of the edited file or as some user suggested try a mod manager. This until the cartridge is available (never too soon!!!) Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

It always dispensed 30 chaff/flare to me in bypass. Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

Did you customize the cms programs before the patch? If yes, the patch probably restored the original settings and you have to customize the file again. Save it somewhere and replace the default one after each patch. Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

Then the answer is, no. Find the corresponding osb button mapping in the options menu and bind it to a key that is convenient to you. Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

Not sure, either you bind the corresponding osb to your keyboard OR move the TDC to the edge (left/Right) of the radar screen and will automatically switch to 60 degrees. Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

"Hidden on planner" or "hidden" in the mission editor? Sent from my Xiaomi MI8

I really love the different tones for each threat. Once you learn them you have instantly an idea of what is painting you. Audio inputs are processed quicker by the brain than visual ones. Now if the rwr sounds would be "surround" that would help a lot in building a quick SA of threats. Sent from my Xiaomi MI8
