  1. This seems to be fixed now. I dropped 2 CBU97s last night using CCIP and they both were on target.
  2. Noticed that as well. I tried with two different tankers and didn't have range in both cases. Hopefully they will fix it before Easters.
  3. CBU-97 is ineffective because the CCIP and CCRP aiming are broken. I used these bombs a lot before the October patch and they were great.
  4. You can create 4 mark points mid flight and switch them between dropping JDAMs. It takes no more than 5sec to drop 4xJDAMs on 4 different targets.
  5. Well, it does not on my PC. TGP picture looks exactly the same on 256 and 1024 settings.
  6. This setting is confusing and does not actually make any difference to MFD's quality in any module. I think it only changes quality of mirrors (not in Viper obviously but in other planes).
  7. Chuck's Guide for F-16 lacks a lot of new features that have been added since March. I'd recommend the official manual. It's more detailed and usually up to date - the current one was updated on 24 October 2021.
  8. Can we create markpoint from our current position? Markpoint DED page has 4 modes: TGP/FCR/HUD and also Overfly. I am able to create markpoints using first three sensors but Overfly does not seem to work. Is it still WIP?
  9. I know that. What I meant is they don't change colour "red/green/red/green" as you described.
  10. I experience disappearing of contacts all the time on 4YA servers but their colour does not change.
  11. When you finally manage to release them, don't be surprised when you miss your target. CCIP and CCRP are currently broken for CBU87 and 97.
  12. As other said arm laser and keep trigger depressed until impact. TGP in Viper is lasing only when you hold the trigger. It's not like in other planes where lasing is triggered automatically 10sec before impact or in manual mode you only need to press lasing once and it will lase for several seconds.
  13. Is it not what VIS mode is for? If you cannot use HUD cross to lock maverick in BORE mode I don't see a point of this mode.
  14. Try to use BORE mode without boresighting maverick first. You will never lock a target because maverick camera is slightly off the BORE cross. Also BORE cross in not fixed to the HUD. You can slew it with RDR Cursor. At least in DCS, maybe it works differently in real Viper.
  15. I saw this one but wasn’t sure it’s the same bug. Well, even if you don’t use TGP you still need to boresight MAV against HUD sensor. Otherwise HUD crosshair will be misaligned with crosshair on WPN page in both BORE and VIS modes.
  16. Reboot?! Alt+Tab from DCS to WMR when this happens and set up room boundary again. It takes 10sec max and you can do it even mid-flight.
  17. I hope you are right but it's been 12 months since boresighting was implemented. So it's a bug. Was it ever reported?
  18. All the tutorials I've seen teach you that you should designate one target with both TGP and MAV and hit BSGT to boresight it. I learned today that you can boresight MAV without touching TGP at all. Lock a target only with MAV using VIS or BORE mode, press BSGT and now it will be perfectly aligned with TGP. Is it a bug or works as intended? I've attached a track file and a YT video. Around 1m55s you can see TGP and MAV pointing to a different location. After performing a boresighting 2m50s Maverick is now pointing to the same spot (tank) as TGP 4m30s. It seems like the "official" method is overcomplicated and time consuming. f16bor.trk
  19. I hope it's this (from today's changelog) WCMD CBUs ballistic data upgrade (bomblets chute).
  20. Same here with CBU97 in CCIP and CCRP modes. MK82 bombs seem to work fine. track attached f16bombs2.trk
  21. No, they did the same test as I did. Hind is flying towards the SAM system and you measure at what point the IR seeker detects the helicopter. In their video they could detect Hind from the same distance whether it carried IR deflectors or not. Based on this I assumed deflectors didn't work back then but they do now.
  22. I did a test using Combined Arms and IR suppressors do actually work! Without suppressors I could get a IR signal from 1.7nm but with them attached the distance was reduced to 1.0nm.
  23. In the last tab with 3 dots. Same location as in all other helicopters.
  24. Can you order Petrovich to lock atgm on a map object? Like a building?
  25. In the mission editor.
