Yes you can. Make sure waypoints are set to auto, means if you overfly one, it‘ll switch to the next. Then activate AP and Strg hold. It‘ll fly from waypoint to waypoint

For wild weasel stuff i use POS EOM if i do have a waypoint at the sa10 site. If you dont have a waypoint, all you have atm is HAS, which is quite dangerous cuz it takes time to find the emitter and you have to turn hot for aquisition/launch. You could do it the hard way by looking where the launch is coming from, slew the tgp over there and create a steerpoint by reading the coordinates off the tgp screen. Then launch in any POS submode. Without HTS that‘s probably all you can do. Ideally you want to have a waypoint near the site before you enter the launch zone of the sa10 and launch long range in POS PB mode

Is taking 3 fuel tanks on a F-16 a good idea?
_SteelFalcon_ replied to Strider1_Trigger's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
The higher you go, the better it gets. You‘d be surprised how far you get at 40k ft on full military power with only 800lbs. -
Thank you For the attention to the FM
_SteelFalcon_ replied to greenmamba's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
To me it feels the same as it did before 2.7, so any „feels changed“ is probably placebo -
Sadly every sensor seems to have a different default setting in terms of slew speed. While the radar and Tpod are fine with their default speed, the Mavs and especially the HARM in HAS mode feel way too fast. And adjusting the slew axis sadly impacts all the sensors, resulting in a slow radar slew when you try to get the HARM or Mav to a slower slew. I wish all sensors had the same default speeds...

reported earlier Cockpit Reflections and NVGs
_SteelFalcon_ replied to Bunny Clark's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
Makes sense, tried landing with the nvgs on, was a rather interesting approach -
reported earlier Cockpit Reflections and NVGs
_SteelFalcon_ replied to Bunny Clark's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
Yeah i guess but the green lights are on during the flight and checking left front panel instruments/switches with nvgs on is like looking into the sun. Is there no way of dimming them? Or is it just not implemented yet? -

_SteelFalcon_ replied to Bunny Clark's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
I wish we could set the gear indicator lights to be more NVG friendly. Is there any switch that does that? -
or remove any country restriction, then you'll be able to use them anywhere

f16 hardly visible floodlighting and hardly visible MFD's
_SteelFalcon_ replied to DoctorVixen's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
Slider on the side of the indexer -
Yes you can. Change the code in the ALIC tables via DED to the codes of the hawk. Then your HARM will be able to attack Hawk sites too
-
This helped me a lot for learning how to AAR
-
I suggest keeping control inputs linear and fly like that for some hours. The viper feels amazing that way. Maybe a deadzone to the rudder for ease of taxi/takeoff with NWS on

A HARM table with all the codes for quick access

questions about TWS mode with datalink
_SteelFalcon_ replied to flankerjun's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
In MP i usually set azimuth to 3 and bars to 2, in order for the contact to become a big filled square, you‘ll want the radar to sweep over it twice within 6.5 seconds. It may not be able to do it if it has to scan 4 total bars, since it scans too much sky (altitude wise) before it sweeps over the contact again. you rarely need 6/4 scans if you already know where the contact is supposed to be due to AWACS information on DL. it becomes a different story if you dont have AWACS, then i suggest RWS to search a large area at first with 6/4 -
Not at all, only stick and throttle

Dogfight mode -why does it put SMS on right MFD?
_SteelFalcon_ replied to Orwell's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
You can double-tap on an empty osb on the bottom and add the HSD just like you add the WPN page when using Mavs. Set if up during your startup sequence so you have it ready when you need it in combat i do that for Dogfight mode aswell as for missile override modes just in case -
Yes tms up to lock radar contacts in RWS radar mode. But make sure it‘s actual radar contacts detected from your own radar, not just Datalink contacts. You cant lock on DL contacts if your radar doesnt see them.

i've attached you a table. feel free to use it. it's made to be used as a kneeboard page and somewhat sorted

F-16 HAARM range/OK to fire - when?
_SteelFalcon_ replied to ACME_WIdgets's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
I go by the rule of thumb of 1nm range per 1k ft altitude and speed at around .8-1.0 mach and have pretty good success with it. -
Or use HAS mode for now if you know where the emitter is and it‘s active
-
Also only had this happen on winter maps a couple times, never in summer dont know the temp tho
