What sparrow variant, what radar mode are you in, are you in the latest open beta update, and can you show a clip of what’s happening?

You aren’t going into the specific mode to access gain control and laser code. QDES is a single designated point, not a moving point. The moving target thing takes an experienced RIO/WSO to do. Once again with the auto lase, you haven’t set it up properly. refer to the HB manual, or tutorials on the LANTIRN.

Well a PTID, the actual PTID software update that includes the JDAM, the LANTIRN software update for the JDAM, CDU, EGI, PMDIG, AWG-15H fire control set, the new mission computer, and some other things.

I saw this during a CASE III and was skeptical which tacan source to go off of. Seems that the code inverts the BDHI tacan needle under a certain parameter.

Nah, what I said is not realistic and is a bug. It does feel like an on off switch, but should change pitch with RPM

The early F-14A tail with the ALR-45, yes

There’s a bug with the super carrier tacan going out, not a tomcat thing

It does have PD capabilities, and HOJ. If the Phoenix finds that it is necessary to keep track of the target and the opportunity exists, it can switch to HOJ. Though, only the AIM-54C has that capability.

F-14A intake whine that was added stays at the same pitch regardless of RPM, and only comes off in afterburner

1. Yes, the lines on the TID will be angled to correspond to the radar’s azimuth setting. 2. it only corresponds to TWSM, yes. TWSA is all computer controlled. 3. You can change the azimuth setting all you want in TWSM. The bar setting will always correspond to 4 or 2 depending on the azimuth setting.

I think it might get overcrowded in the loadout menu with all those phoenix liveries

Probe light exists. The basket light is not a thing, as of this video. Though, I assume it may be a thing for a different variant of the 135. I know there is a boom light, though.

Just waiting for my CATM-54 and CATM-7

It’s IRST imaging. Look at where the center line is in relation to the image, vs how far to the right it would be in comparison to the TPOD

I have photos of IRST imaging

Which is actually unrealistic, and it should return unknown.

Sounds like he didn’t have his IFF on

Not sure what that means at all.

They could do it, but they can’t because they don’t have enough info on how to do it.

AWG-9 was very much capable of using the 120. Hence, these test photos of an F-14A. Though, I’m not saying anything about adding them. I think the 120 should never touch any pylon of the tomcat in DCS.

I think the F-14A Upgrade, F-14B Upgrade, and F-14D would be their own complete module. DFCS, EGI, MFDs, PTID, CDU, all that fancy stuff is on a whole 'nother level of tomcat. The F-14D would be such an unstoppable force in DCS. Maybe the F-14A and B Upgrade could be an actual module upgrade like the A-10C II, but the F-14D is on a different tier. I like the aesthetic that the pre-DFCS-PTID tomcat, it makes it feel much more responsive and cold war era based.

VF-11, VF-32, VF-101, VF-102, VF-103, and some others all got the B Upgrades. 1998-2004 area is where you can find F-14B footage with the sparrowhawk and PTID. We won’t be seeing a B Upgrade unless Heatblur got the -1A from 2004 and had permission to use the info from it, and/or other docs containing B upgrade info

Yes, less time between the phoenix going active and the time to impact.

2 completely different aircraft with completely different designs

It's the buffet. It happens when the wing is close to a stall or stalling. The F-15 has something similar, but not present on the FC3 F-15.
