Waypoints completely off Hello, i dont know what happened, but i found out after the update (havent flown for a couple of days) that my waypoints are completely off. I usually use "stored heading" alignment, before takeoff and wait till the "RDY" lights starts flashing. I used "inflight aligment" and normal alignment aswell (with confirming the coordinates), and still waypoints are literly miles off. Sometimes they are even way up in the sky. I tried repairing DCS, but didn't help. I also made sure that the jet isn't moving during alignment and that the weapons are loaded, before even starting the engine. I tried recording it, but since im flying mostly on MP, the files get to big to upload here. Is there anyone with the same problems? It makes flying Viper difficult this way edit: tried the "Cold and Dark" mision a couple of times, with different alignment modes and every is working fine there Kirks Freeflight summer evening 2.0.6-20200925-124705.zip

I dont understand why this in the Black Shark forums, but you'll find your answer here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=280595

As far as i know, this is how it should work. As long as you dont have a bugged target, you can change range and azimuth by moving the cursor to the edges of the screen.

There is your problem…. Set it to "Central Position trimming mode" Then, before you move the stick, press and hold the trimmer button during your move. Once your happy, release the trim button and let go of the stick return to center position) This fixed the same issue you describe for me (also Warthog stick)

You need to turn on your datalink system by turning MDS LVT knob to norm

Great tip, thx

thx, been looking for that for a while now xD

is it possible to undesignate targets in TWS mode completely? Lets say i've bugged a target and want to undesignate him, if i press the undesignate button, it will cycle other TWS contacts, but never drop a bugged contact? Even if there is just one on the scope?

You can toggle this on and off in the DED using the ICP panel. Set your countermesures to standby and then press List on the ICP and go to your CMDS page

it works fine here

sorry, i wasn't clear in my preious post You first need to set the knob to align, then highlight all 3 lines Also if you set the knob to align, the DED will show the coordinates and the status of the alignment. The first 2 digits represent the time when the alignment started, while the second set of digits show the alignment status counting down was this in SP or MP? small side note is that not all MP servers have pre planned waypoints

at the beginning. Go to your INS page, when its not already in the DED. Press enter, dobber down, enter, dobber down, enter, etc till you have confirmed all lines

The favorite move should be the "slice" according to Pete Bonanni The quickest way to get your nose around on the bandit is by initiating a lead turn slice into the bandit. To do this maneuver, start an immediate 8 G lead turn into the bandit with your nose about 10° below the horizon when the line-of-sight rate of the bandit starts to increase. By pulling around with your nose low, you will gain the use of gravity which will preserve your airspeed and increase your effective turn rate. "The slice is one of the Viper (F-16) pilot’s favorite moves. The reason is simple. The F-16 can out-turn anything in the sky, so a big lead turn executed nose-low will intimidate the bandit. After completing the turn, you will have gained angles on the bandit and still have plenty of energy for the next turn. The disadvantage of the slice is that it is a high-G, nose-low maneuver that places the bandit at deep six and out of sight momentarily. This is not too big a disadvantage if you know where to look for him as you come out of the turn"

Sorry i missed it, but a feature i like to see is a setting in the config menu, so that the controls for the radar cursor and slewing of the RB75 are the same. I really can't get used to the fact that the up and down function of the controls are opposite to each other. ( i read somewhere, thats actually how it is in RL) https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=232312 Would you consider something like this to add as a seperate setting, for those who run into the same issue?

The entire cockpit looks a bit darker too me, which makes the MFD's very hard to read for me, thus barely spending time in the Viper If it was a feature for VR users, why not simply add some sort of setting in the options menu?

As far for the MLU variants, the Dutch, Norwegian, Portugese and Belgium have internal ECM's Also some Jordanian aircraft have them, but these are ex-Dutch airforce jets

Yes, you are right. I think the US F16c's today still use external pods, while for example Israeli and MLU versions carry internal jammers

the models represented in DCS world are "upgraded" versions of the orginial jets which dates from the early 80's. Comparing these jets together makes no sense... Funny fact however when the F16 and F18 came out, the Mirage was superior, due to the Matra 530 performing better than the Sparrow and the F16 could only carry Sidewinders

Same...

I thought i was a much harder module to master, but i find it very easy to learn and having a ton of fun in it!

Go to INS page on ICP while its aligning (List->INS), after a couple of minutes it should show "rdy", put INS knob to NAV and you are good to go. i have been flying and dropping GBU's all day and haven't found any issues

IIRC the later F16 variants have this feature and can fire up to two mavericks with the use of the TGP

I have been flying for more than 2 hours and it seems the rolling to the left issue has been resolved! Thanks again!

Many thanks Wags and team!
