  1. I found its inconsistence with the other way to change the mode from nav to AA. If you press AA (keyboard button 2) mode it'll give you TWS with azimuth.
  2. Just tested it on GS server (Caucasus map) from cold start and it worked as it should. Thank you for fixing it Deka [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  3. I could be wrong so feel free to correct me. TOF = time of flight TOA = time of active
  4. The reason why AIM-120 much more lethal on Viper is because Viper has alot of kinetic energy IMO. It also same for The Eagle. Try look at the Tacview from 104th server (I know you regularly fly there) and compare. Most of Viper pilots launching from above Mach 1 with afterburner ON while most of the hornet launching it avg at Mach 0.8. Now guess which one would impact first. one more thing, the Viper with its massive accel, speed and unrestricted 9G turn arguably has little problem dodging your hornet AMRAAM with its limited 7G unless you press the paddle to override it.
  5. Are you sure changing the base will make you better at AAR ? Virpil base cost is quite alot of money (at least for me). 104th Maverick uses cheap Logitech 3D Extreme and he's one of the best pilots in AAR. He made me feel stupid as I have more expensive Warthog and till now still struggle in AAR. He made AAR video tutorials on Youtube (just search for it). There's no guarantee new expensive base stick will make you better at AAR because probably the base is not the problem. I agree with post above, try playing with the curve first then if you're really itching to buy it then thats your money, go ahead [emoji4]
  6. I use OpenTrack and DIY track clip that I 3D printed it + PS3 Camera for DCS. I don't have any problem with all DCS modules I have, including JF-17. All work fine. Your problem is indeed weird. I'm sorry cant help you with this but try to install OpenTrack on the same drive or folder as DCS. Good luck.

    F18 or F16

    For A2A I prefer the Viper. Its crazy fast and can easily eat any fighters in head to head combat even against the Tomcat (if you know enough how to deal with it). I've seen some guys made awesome scores in MP like 20 (even more) to 0 kill ratio. Yes it depends on pilot skill but it also a proof how deadly Viper is. For A2G I love the Hornet. It has many weapons to choose from dumb bombs to long range JSOW while still can defend itself from enemy CAP. So, get Hornet now and Viper later [emoji1][emoji1][emoji1]
  9. Why we love to exaggerate things ? Lol Its far from unflayable at all. jeez.... You can do cold start, taxi, take off, shoot some bad guys in MP, LGB some tanks and rtb with nice landing. How can it unflayable ? I have great time in Viper. Its one of my fav modules despite still lack many function.
  10. I'm no expert on this but maybe the Amraam that actually underpowered ? We all know ED made AIM-120 adjusment (increase range) in the last patch and planned to overhaul DCS missiles AFAIK.
  11. Relax.... just a guessing of mine. Could be sooner. But I've learned my lesson to lower my expectation given the nature of software complexity.
  12. Most likely next week or even end of Jan.
  13. I'm not sure the thread fit in Deka forum if the problem related to Hornet RWR. AFAIK never had that problem. Horner RWR seem fine with active, semi active missiles. Late warning could be caused by the shooter shot at close range in maddog. I usually do that and have good result. Just a guess.
  14. Yeah I agree. Shouldnt be much works as hornet and Viper I guess. Just one more and we have all complete HiFi teen aircrafts in DCS.
  15. Deleted
  16. Someone told me Russian semi active can HOJ on any active ECM even if its lost guidance from shooter radar. Cant confirm if its true thou. Just becareful.
  17. I kinda agree. Why not just remove any restriction on weapons to attract more players. BF servers only full of players once a week seems rather wasted on resource IMO.
  18. Its probably because the shooter launched the missiles just below the RMax but it supported by much greater kinetic energy and at higher alt than you. (Viper is a rocket with wings lol) I saw the 104th tacview the other day when you're also on it. You're flying low against Yaga at higher alt than you that time. He launched at higher speed and the missiles still catched you even you're already gone cold. You just flied straight without doing a thing. You need to do zig zag maneuver to bleed the missile speed.
  19. What he said I found USAF hotas functions (Viper & Warthog) much more convenient and intuitive compared to the Hornet which still involved pushing button on the MFD.
  20. If you mean against Viper then yeah Hornet has hard time head to head. You need at least as fast as the Viper. Jettison the fuel tank as soon as you enter the BVR. Get lighter as you can with ordnance (I mean no need to bring 10 Amraams, 6 x 120 and 4 9x should be good) . There's almost zero chance Hornet can win with A2G ordnances still attached. Its pretty draggy as 120 would likely catch you up even if you're defensive and going cold.
  21. Its not SD-10 exclusive. I've seen it also happened on 120 and Phoenix as well. In MP I shot missiles from inside NEZ and wondered HTH he managed to survive only to found out in tacview the missiles just dissapeared right before impact lol Some people have theorized it might have something to do with desync which need to be investigated further.
  22. Oh you're beautiful human being..... please make it. Please.... [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
  23. We can tune freq to the same AWACS freq (unless I missed something) but there's no F7 menu for AWACS call. Please enable it like in Gazelle as its able to make radio call to AWACS for better SA. Thanks.
  24. It should be much easier without having push it on mfd, AFAIK we just need to press cursor enable button on the throttle. No idea why its not implemented (shrug).
