Feedback Thread - F14 Tomcat Patch 16-06-2021
ShinyMikey replied to IronMike's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
I've also been experiencing some crashes when switching the hud to landing mode. -
DCS crashes when selecting LDG HUD mode
ShinyMikey replied to uhntissbaby111's topic in Bugs and Problems
I have been having this bug at times as well. Yesterday doing landings in a B on Marianas map..no crashes. Today in an A..both times I switched to landing hud mode I had a CTD. This has happened other times recently as well. -

I think this has been mentioned before at some point, but I wonder if Heatblur would consider making a special option to remove the refueling probe cover. We can see that this was common from many photos, because of the danger of damaging the probe when operating with USAF tankers. I know this is not a high priority item, but it would be a nice option to have at some point.

Jester is mostly just a control interface so that you can run the radar from the front seat, don't expect him to do many things for you except for IFF and callouts. If the MIG-23's tracks dropped, they might have turned and notched the radar or perhaps they went down to the deck. You can tell jester to look at a certain range and altitude (like 40mi at 5000ft if you think they have moved down to the deck). In this situation you might want to change your own aspect to slow down the closure and start searching at different altitudes while intermittently returning the radar to auto elevation and azimuth. -
I counted 12 seconds of RWR warning..no problems there. This was a very long shot so they were somewhat understandably not expecting the missile yet. When I get long range kills with my AIM-54s (70 percent of my kills flying on the 104th server) tacview always shows the target aircraft reacting just like in this video...usually split-s and countermeasures...when the missile goes pitbull. People get killed by long range shots because they wait until they get a missile warning to react. If you are flying toward and F-14 who is at high altitude, hot on you, and fast then you must expect a missile to be on the way soon. If you are in a viper, a hornet, or another Tomcat and have an SA page or TID then you should note an oncoming F-14s aspect change to mean they have fired and are starting to offset, or an altitude change to mean they have fired and are getting down into thicker air. You have to anticipate incoming missiles and notch without waiting for the missile to get close enough to go pitbull.

The 16 was possibly in the notch...had you adjusted your radar manually up or down and not reset it to auto elevation and azimuth?

Look great! Are you releasing them soon? -
No F-14 changes in the 2.7.1.6430 OpenBeta update?
ShinyMikey replied to Thundercat710's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
I was thinking the same thing... -

Looks great! But, wasn't this aircraft number Clubleaf 213 (BuNo 161608) instead of 206? -
Has anyone else had trouble with datalink in multiplayer since 2.7 came out? It works fine in SP, but yesterday and today on the 104th server I was getting datalink info only intermittently at best. Most of the time I wasn't getting any datalink from the AWACS or ships. Anyone else had this trouble?

Thank you guys! The resolution/aspect ratio solution worked for me as well -

I noticed that we didn't get the contest winner liveries added in this update. Are those new skins coming in the next update? -

Jagged edges (and possible solution)
ShinyMikey replied to Minsky's topic in Weather System Bugs & Problems
I also had a non standard resolution, changed to a standard resolution but it didn't help. Turned on SSAA x2 and that fixed the problem...but it destroyed my frame rates..so that isn't possible. I can't believe all the people who aren't having this problem are all using SSAAx2...there must be some other reason that only some of us are having this issue -

I'm having the exact same problem. I'm seeing everyone's perfectly clear screenshots online and wondering what setting I need to adjust... -
When you make a map mark, you can give it whatever unique name you want (for example: FARP or CAP1) on the f10 map when you make it. Then in the jester menu make it whatever waypoint you want..wp1, wp3, ip,..etc.
