New Patch system, but more Bugs (F16). Dear ED, what's going on?
_SteelFalcon_ replied to Nedum's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
me too. -
But doesn't that mean, that the current displayed burst altitude, which is totally wrong as compared to the previous patch, is a bug? why is this a wishlist item now? I agree that the fuzing improvements are a wishlist item. more options etc... But the displayed burst altitude being completely wrong and totally misleading should remain as a bug tbh.

it's the other way around. when you set the radio to "Both", you can be on any frequency and still hear transmissions somebody makes over guard. so if you want to hear awacs, no matter which frequency you are on, you have to set avacs to 243.00

TGP not powering up after April 10th update
_SteelFalcon_ replied to Swamp Fox Loader's topic in Bugs and Problems
yeah looks like since the latest patch you need to keep the hardpoint power off until the store is loaded and the jet has power before flipping it to on, else the TGP never powers up. Haven't tried with rearming a running jet yet, maybe you'll need to flip it to off prior and then back to on after rearm is complete? -
There‘s a hotfix planned for the 12th. now let‘s just hope it includes fixes for those things actually

Canopy reflections almost totally removed after last patch
_SteelFalcon_ replied to db349's topic in Wish List

correct as-is SAM Threat Rings Unreliable
_SteelFalcon_ replied to Prime's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
they shoot at you when you are outside max range if you fly straight at the SAM, as it'll intercept you pretty close to max range, inside the ring. Notice how they barely shoot if you fly at an angle to them, you can even fly through the ring without being shot with the right angle -
Just remember, you can overwrite ypur stpt 26 if you use markpoints very frequently

WP 0 is sadly not a thing, so you'll have to manually plug it in on the DED if the mission maker hasn't put down a waypoint at your starting position/airfield

TGP Auto Handoff to AGM-65D Causes Loss of SOI
_SteelFalcon_ replied to Sn0wMan4's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
True. The only really annoying part is the current behavior where the mav locks on street lamps instead of the tank driving next to it however. The lamps aren‘t even visible on the WPN page… and yet, the mav prefers them over the hot vehicle next to it. -
TGP Auto Handoff to AGM-65D Causes Loss of SOI
_SteelFalcon_ replied to Sn0wMan4's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
any building works. I usually boresight them on a town on the way out. or if i head out to sea, i circle the AF once and use a hangar or the tower to bsgt. -
TGP Auto Handoff to AGM-65D Causes Loss of SOI
_SteelFalcon_ replied to Sn0wMan4's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
Thing is: how would i know if i need to reset the seeker if it either is in break lock or locked on the wrong thing, when the wpn page isn‘t open for me to even verify? While it may probably work in an ideal scenario, 1 lonely target in the wide desert, this doesnt sound safe at all for employing a weapon. It‘d make sense to have the wpn page open for employment in any case, and with dms left/right you can access the other pages instantly after weapon launch anyway. -
TGP Auto Handoff to AGM-65D Causes Loss of SOI
_SteelFalcon_ replied to Sn0wMan4's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
while that is true, AUTO handoff mostly fails at or close to max range of the mav, leaving it in break lock stage and requires resetting the seeker. or it locks up the street lamp next to it. The Auto handoff is rather useless therefore -
External lighting Master rotary switch
_SteelFalcon_ replied to IR.Clutch's topic in Controller Questions and Bugs
Which bindings are you using? I have this knob on a rotary and haven‘t had any issues so far. i bound CW and CCW binds for that knob -
TGP Auto Handoff to AGM-65D Causes Loss of SOI
_SteelFalcon_ replied to Sn0wMan4's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
with large clusters or columns, I tend to shoot at the ones furthest apart if shooting multiple mavs. just to avoid the missiles interfering with eachother, like blowing up because of another one impacting close by or similar. Usually only set the TGP once in the rough area of the target and the rest is manually adjusted on the MAV page as soon as the next video feed is up. well boresighted mavs have very little deviation, so you shouldnt need to adjust the TGP at that point.
