Yeah, I can't have my TDC slew be linear, it's about impossible to make fine adjustments. I made a custom curve where I have my precision in the middle and then have it spike to full rate at the edges. Helps that it's faster but not even close to what it should be. Mobius708

It's trying to intercept the course line first. Mobius708

Really just don't use TARGET and don't use others profiles. Mobius708

Spitballing here but were you wings unlocked/folded? Shouldn't have an effect... Mobius708

Putting the physical model of a bomb on the aircraft is not the issue, what takes time is the unique symbology. Look at the Hornet and Viper Litening pod. I am very confident the only commonality is the visual model and the laser model, everything else inside the aircraft is different. Mobius708

Of course I haven't watched the track yet, but the most common issue with PP JDAM corrds is that you must enter the 6 digits first. Lat N25 67 78 ENTER 36 ENTER Lon etc... EDIT: you say elevation and lon work. But not Lat. Are you doing lat first? Mobius708

Ah, so that's why Mobius708

Yep this is as intended, no Idea why. Wouldn't be as much of an issue if we had proper slew rate. Mobius708

All good points. The idea of the Identical load out was so the aircraft would have stores and they would be of equal mass. Though drag might be modeled differently between the modules. (I also didn't want clean jets that would literally fly for hours...) Flying the optimal profile for the Hornet would be easy as I have FPAS, but I would have to guess for the Viper as it lacks even that atm. Now for dissimilar loads, you would need to make practical decisions on what to carry. For the "who brings more boom" question it's actually the Viper with 6 CBUs and 6 MAVs...but an A-10 might pass you on the way to the AO, not to mention the fuel. Problem the 16 has is it's tiny and unstable. The Hornet is a rock-solid weapons platform where a click or two of trim after a drop is all that's necessary. In the 16, you're fighting to keep it level if you drop just one 2,000 pounder. There's more to be said about this but I need some sleep. Mobius708

Alright. I did my own tests, pretty interesting. Caucases-airstart-15k feet MSL. Identical combat load: 4x MK-84, 2xAIM-120C, 2xAIM-9X, 1xLitening TGP, full internal fuel Time here is time to flameout... Mil power: Hornet: Range: 373nm Time: 38 min Max mach: .94 Viper: Range: 392 Time: 39 min Max mach: .95 This was pretty much as expected with a relatively minor gap between aircraft. Max AB: Hornet: Range: 136nm Time: 11:35 min Max mach: 1.13 Viper: Range: 83nm Time: 6 min Max mach 1.2 The AB test was the real shocker. Hornet has almost double the blower time, and covered an additional 53nm. So for the debate with A2A/BVR the fuel advantage to the Hornet is significant. I did not expect this. Oh, and I tested "combat clean" with the exact same setup but I immediately hit the emergency jettison. Hornet was 153nm and Viper 88nm. I was also curious about the Mirage. M2K A/A combat load in blower was Identical to the Hornet's performance. Same AI loadout in mil gave me over 500nm. Nice to know. Mobius708

I'm hardly ever concerned about fuel in the 18, but in the 16 I'm watching it all the time. I would like to see the same test with the drag of an identical weapon load. Mobius708

In A/A I like to use the AZ/EL FLIR sublevel for pod pointing. Right now you can only see track files generated by onboard sensors, but hopefully with an MSI rework we'll be able to designate donor tracks (and see them) on the AZ/EL. Mobius708

Do you have a track or video you could post? (Need track for bug report) Mobius708

We definitely need a track. Most of these things are generally caused by user error, but if there is a bug they require a track file to report it. A video would be helpful for us to determine if maybe there's something you're missing. Mobius708

If it's indeed a spawning issue, try jumping out of the slot back to spectators first. Mobius708

The endurance is pretty good. I couldn't even consider taking a viper without tanks for anything, in the Hornet I can do a 100 mile strike on just internal fuel just fine. I had a sortie in the 16 where to be fair loaded it up, but I had to tank twice In a sortie to hit two targets and still landed at 1,500 lbs. In my experience the 18 has better endurance than the 16. I am very confident a Hornet with one bag out ranges a Viper with two by a fair bit. Again this is just by experience, so it's anecdotal. Mobius708

I'm sorry that statement is idiotic at best. I think you have the aircraft mixed up. Mobius708

Just as the master mode pushbuttons in the front seat can be cycled, could the back seat bget the option to cycle the DDD range for pulse in a similar manner? Mobius708

+1 Almost every time I join a Tomcat in flight it acts as off the wings are out and flaps are down which 95% jams the flaps... Mobius708

Wdym? They're just detailing what all the HOTAS commands do. Mobius708

Yep! Just found that a few weeks ago while reading the DCS Hornet manual. Mobius708

According to SMEs the Hornet is still too slow and slow to accelerate. It appears the nozzles scheduling is off with trans-throttle movements, though it is not clear yet if there is a resulting loss of thrust. Then of course drag needs tweaking. Mobius708

You can if you want, but it's definitely the lowest of priorities. Mobius708

There's got be a reset default head position somewhere. Mobius708

Interesting, does it work with the radar elevation control with FLIR priority? Mobius708
