This was changed in the latest update. Not it's a switch rather than a knob. Apparently that's how it is on the real aircraft, but it's bugged currently so good luck operating it. Clicking on it cannot yield one-by-one degree change and using the keyboard command just sends it into a constant spin until it's clicked.
-
Only god knows that. That countdown goes like this. 0 (outer circle) -> 100 -> 0 (center of the zone in EHSD) -> 100 -> 0 (inner circle) I tend to disregard those numbers as there isn't documented what does that represent so I just use the unwinding thingy on HUD and release bombs from between 9 and 6 o'clock which seems to yield best results. There really is a need for a manual, depicting exactly what RB have implemented. A bunch of stuff is lost in translation what works on a plane and what the thing is supposed to be doing on real aircraft.
-
Apparently, that is because the point from which the course line should originate is now shown on a currently selected scale. Example, you want course from TCN station 50 nm away, but you are in 25 scale level. TCN station is now shown and so course line will not be shown. If you zoom out, then it will appear as TCN station is now visible... That's the explanation I got a while back, could that apply to your case?

AV-8B taxi on grass or dirt. Keeps sinking into grass and wont move
Vakarian replied to DmitriKozlowsky's topic in AV-8B N/A
How are you trying to taxi off runway? What's your loadout, throttle setting and nozzle angle? All of that is a factor to being able to taxi off runways. Up until this update, I haven't had issue with that. However, I'm still to try out the new update and see if something changed. If anything it should be easier now as RB removed the artificial "stickyness" AFAIK. -
As per title, if you put TERs with 3x Mk82s, inner bombs clip through the centerline Mk84. Added zip with screenshots. They do release without damaging the plane, but that shouldn't be a valid loadout. While on topic, is there a reason why only 2x Mk82s are not allowed on rearming menu on stations that can take TERs with 3 of them? That would be an easy solution to this problem.

Yes. There is DESG STP and DESG TGT meaning you can designate a steerpoint and a targetpoint. If there is not targetpoint made by any of the sensors, pressing the DESG button will designate current steerpoint. If there is a targetpoint made by any of the sensors, pressing the DESG button will designate that targerpoint and you will be able to make AUTO attack.
-
IIRC that's how it's supposed to work. TDC depress should make target designation which should in turn make AUTO attacks possible. I do not know why is it now forced to press DESG button to make whatever you have targeted a valid target designation. It just seems like something that would never be accepted in an actual aircraft because of the completely unintuitive workflow. Btw, currently you can find your target, designate it with TPOD/DMT and after you have done all that, go back to EHSD and press DESG. That will make the target designation you need for AUTO attack to work.
-
I really don't understand why is that such a thing. I mean, everybody uses stuff in their own way. Just look at the controls you need and bind them to the buttons that feel most comfortable to you to use. Why would you constrain yourself with the profile someone else uses just to find out some of the controls aren't mapped the way you would want it to be
-
Just bind the controls you need to the buttons you like?

Crash To Desktop. There was an issue where JDAM drops cause crashes but was fixed 2-3 updates ago
-
I believe that's true for when you have TPOD in INS mode. When you make TPOD go in a "TPOD" mode by pressing SSS depress 2 times, it will no longer be slaved to the INS as it's doing its own designations JDAM drops are easy for the TOO mode. First press that DESG button to box it. Master arm On -> A/G mode -> Set fusing. After that, find the target with the TPOD and pres WINC for more than .8 seconds and it will make target designation. Then just fly in a release zone and press weapon release. To target something else, you only need to slew TPOD to the next target and press weapon release when in range. No subsequent long WINCs are neccessary
-
Apparently it still doesn't work correctly as I think I have seen multiple different threads that if you make a system designation it should automatically box the DESG as it creates a designation.... More on that here https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/english/licensed-third-party-projects/razbam/av-8b-n-a/7145331-what-was-fixed-in-the-latest-patch-relative-to-ehsd-desg-and-auto-bombing As for the TPOD being stuck in slave mode, what do you mean by that? Casmo did a great jos explaining some of the stuff that got changed. Try to watch it and see if clarifies things
-
Yeah, the changes were quite substantial and have caught a lot of folks unprepared. They have made a post about it here:https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/english/licensed-third-party-projects/razbam/7121409-razbam-2020-q4-update TPOD now works in 2 modes. INS and HTC and you cycle between them by 2x SSS depress under .8 seconds. Also, it is now mandatory to have the "DESG" boxed on the EHSD to have release cues showing up, so it is something I presume you missed from what I've seen here
-
That works, I've used it in a mission couple of weeks ago. Place that FARP, added 2 trucks to enable rearming and refueling and that's it. Took off from a highway in Oman :)

Custom Callsigns for HMD Datalink
Vakarian replied to Valkyrien's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
@Valkyrien Any luck in figuring this out? Seems like a great idea so I too added some callsigns for my group so I copied it :) One thing, it is expected not to get voice-overs for the new callsigns? -
The red color is the default one on the DATA page. Not sure why though, but that's how it is currently
-
You are not doing anything wrong. When INS completes alignment, DATA page of the EHSD text is by default on yellow, while on EHSD page default is green. When in DATA page, press MAPM OSB and on the bottom row, 2nd button from the right will be COLOR. Press that one repeatedly until you get the color you want. Have no idea how you concluded that the red text means INS corruption though...
-
Thanks for the info. Don't know why we couldn't get previous implementation. This is so easily missed
-
Can we please get the "Go to first unread post" button on every topic like we had before? It's really annoying to go in a topic and then manually go to the page I think I visited last time and finding what's new.
-
All this annoyance only because of the AGM-65Fs are misbehaving? Damn, how are you going through the life... Take a walk, do something else and chill a bit. This is already reported and is gonna be fixed soon (tomorrow probably). With constructive posts like this, I'm sure bugs will be fixed in no time
-
Hmmm, I rarely drop them so low, but I'll give it a try. If you can reproduce this, share a track file so it's easier to check and pinpoint the thing making the bombs miss their target
-
Do you know the flight parameters? Altitude, speed, when do you start to lase and where do you lase exactly? I haven't experienced issues with GBU-12s and 16s

VIFFing and firing weapons? I'm not sure that's how it's supposed to be done, but I'm no A/A guy so I won't comment on that. Wasn't trying to be rude, so sorry if it sounded like that
