Luft Waffel

what block? which tranche? AG capability? Litening Pod? Electronic warfare capability? DASS?

We will need to wait for the AG radar to be finished before we can do proper anti-shipping. Using the TGP in the hornet to locate ships means that a huge portion of the harpoon's range is lost because we have to get really close to see it with tgp. With AG sea radar we will be able to find ships much further away and more easily and we can use the full range of the missiles. I don't have the JF-17 or Viggen so I don't know how capable or complete the AG radars are in those

I was having the same issue and it was driving me nuts, then I tried the sound control panel solution suggested by hornblower and it fixed it. Thanks very much!

Same for me, glad I'm not the only one!

Ahh that would be it; I'm on the steam version. That's strange that they rolled the update back, i didn't even notice because I was playing MP with no issues and I would've assumed that having an outdated client would make this impossible

When i open the re arm and refuel window i see the pod available on station 5 but on station 4 its still only air to air missiles available for me, what am I missing here?

It says in the patch notes that the tgp is now available on the cheek station 4. However when i go ingame it seems to still only be availble on the centerline station 5 like before. Am I being really dumb and missing something or have they just straight up lied in the patch notes and not added it?!?

I was watching some videos of live fire AMRAAMs and they all had white vapour trails, they were not thick clouds but they were definitely still visible. I assume that the visibility of these probably depends on the weather but in DCS I never see any smoke coming from the missile even straight after launch. Other missiles have it such as the AIM-7H so I was wondering if they could perhaps include a less dense smoke trail to make it look more like the real thing. This also goes for the AIM-9x for example, on the videos it has a very faint smoke trail I cant remember seeing this in DCS.

I think the red anti collision lights should be much brighter on the hornet similar to the brightness of the F-16C. When I look at videos of hornets especially flying at night the whole plane is lit up by the red anti collision light however in DCS it is barely even visible even at night unless you are flying in close formation with the plane and even then it isn't really bright enough to reflect of the metal which I think is a shame. It would look really cool if the AC light was brighter to a level similar to the F16C and I can't imagine this change being much more difficult than changing some kind of brightness value.

Recently I have been getting very frustrated by the game just randomly freezing up a couple hours in from a play session. I wasn't having any issues until about a week or 2 ago where the game would just freeze seemingly randomly. I play in VR and only really fly in multiplayer servers, a lot of the time in Through The Inferno for example. The game runs normally and fine but after a few hours the game almost always eventually ends by freezing up and the program not responding. Now every single session I play ends in the game freezing its almost like it decides for me when to stop playing. It is completely random and there is no pattern to when it occurs or what im doing while it freezes. The game stutters and goes in and out of responsiveness in the seconds preceding it freezing completely. It could happen because of activity from other players on the server doing something that causes the freeze and I'm not sure if other clients on the server also freeze at the same time. I know that it happens on Through The Inferno and i cant remember if it has happened on the other servers so it could be specific to that server. Also I know its not caused by the server restarting because it happens even when there are several hours left until server restart.

Also if it is controls for the same UHF radio as COMM 1 on the DED then how do I tell the plane I want to use the backup controls instead of the main DED controls?

Hi I'm wondering about the Backup UHF radio panel on the left side of the cockpit. Is this another radio or are these just backup controls in case the ICP or DED fails? Also I couldn't find any control in the controls menu for a transmit switch for the backup UHF so is it like a receive only radio or is it just the same radio as the COMM 1 UHF radio and therefore uses the COMM 1 transmit switch? Could somebody clear this up?

The flight model is still subject to more tuning right? I'm not a Viper pilot but the Flight model especially in terms of the engine performance seems very odd especially compared to the hornet or mirage. I have found myself supercruising at mil at medium altitude and for the overhead speed of 300 knots i have to position the throttle only slightly above IDLE to maintain this speed. Also the Fuel Flow seems strange to me as even without tanks I can still sit in Burner for ages and never run out of Fuel. Am I wrong and this is normal or do they still plan on doing more work on the flight model?

[REPORTED]Pressing enter on ILS channel option with nothing entered causes game crash I will break down the process to reproduce this crash: 1) Press Button 1 (T-ILS) on the ICP 2) Use data control switch down to select ILS option on the DED 3) Press the Enter key on the ICP This causes the game to instantly crash every time.

Nice i can't wait cheers wags

I want to change my CMS presets and I tried doing it in the same way it was possible in the hornet using the "aircraftsettings.lua". However the F-16C doesn't seem to have this document in the options folder so I was wondering if they moved it somewhere else or if the CMS presets can now be altered in a different way? If anyone has any idea how to change the presets or has found some kind of settings file where it can be changed please let me know!!

I'm watching the Start Up guide on youtube and Wags says to close the cockpit to do Left Control + C on the keyboard and then lock the canopy with the yellow canopy lock. However I'm wondering how the real pilots close the lid? I have looked at the manual but there it also just says Left Ctrl + C and there doesn't seem to be a canopy switch like in the Hornet. Does the lid have to be closed by the ground crew in real life? Does anyone know what they do?
