Hi Miguel, since the last update, all the campaigns I manage with DCE are with errors when I try to start a new campaign or continue an existing one.
Any idea why?
thanks!
-
Like in Falcon BMS..., looking forward for this possibility

Hi all, is working TOT properly?, when I am closing to the WP considered as target to reach the TOT the REQ speed is increasing a lot, for me looks a bit strange behaviour.
And also the problem, but I do not know if it works like RL, you cannot assign a TOS to each and every WP.
Just to know your feedback.
Thanks.

Nope, PAL = PSTT which means automatically active at this range. IIRC PSTT within 20nm = automatically active.
Thanks a lot!

I thought ini PAL they were semiactive, they are not?

Against 4x Su-27, set to Ace, recent OB, first and only try.
The proximity fuze not going off on 2 of them, is indeed mildly infuriating, but that unfortunately is nothing on our side. 1 maneuvering himself into the ground = maneuver kill, I take it. Else the phoenix did it's job quite well, and the outcome speaks for itself.
Also, would anyone here complain about those 2 ETs in the same way? It's a give and take on both sides of the isle so to speak...I watched it, thanks for the acmi.
one quesion.
how did you manage to lock both targets and shoot them in less than 10nm and looking down?
-
for me it looks a bit better than before, but I guess that still lacking power on MIL, with similar configuration loadout, a drag race from 300kts at 20.000ft versus a hornet, today the hornet wins, and it shouldn't be the case at any aspect in MIL both.

Hi, first of all thanks for your work.
Do you have a campaign in Syria for hornets, vipers or tomcats?
I just didn't find it.

I may very well be wrong... I just found it very surprising that my absolutely clean, 60% fuel Viper was being out accelerated in MIL power by that much (Clean Hornet was 7 seconds faster from 400kts to 0.9 Mach at 30K feet). I wouldn't think that a Hornet could ever out-accelerate a Viper when they were both clean. Maybe the Hornet is as it should be but the Viper's MIL power isn't high enough currently? Again, from my tests above, ED has nearly perfectly NAILED IT for the Hornet in full afterburner... so, maybe they have too in MIL? Again, I wouldn't think that a Hornet (clean or not) could ever out-accelerate an absolutely slick Viper. That's where my question is coming from.
Agree, same conclusions on my side.

Viper is underperforming in MIL, I hope they correct it soon.

Just tested it, the limit with 2 HARM, 2 bags 3 AIM-120, 1 9X plus ECM plus TGP plus HTS is 30k on Mach 0,7. In MIL.
Really matching the charts? That speed is not operative, is even below optimum speed for cruise...

Hey, Spartan. I just did a quick little test with both jets loaded with 80% internal fuel, 2 wingtip 9X's, three drop tanks, and no other pylons or pods. At 16K msl, both jets starting at 400kts and going full burner immediately at mission start, the Viper beat the Hornet to Mach 1.0 by about 4 seconds (it took the Hornet 34 sec and the Viper 30). Air temp was whatever the default one is on the Caucasus map.
Happy to attach the mission if you'd like or you can run some more extensive ones yourself.
cool @wilbur81, but I mean in MIL power, in full burner Viper is a beast, but MIL power is far from RL, as a comparison, MIL in buster should be like hornet in medium burner with same loadout.
-
It cannot be correct as is today, a viper can accelerate better than hornet with same loadout and climb higher...
And for sure keep M.9ish with 2 tanks and air to air config above FL300, which is not the case today.
I guess once they adjust the FM we will have the CRUS page...

LANTIRN zoom managed by Jester, today we do not know what we are targeting exactly.

Operation Snowfox Escalation updated: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313322/
1. Apache slots added to London/Paris FARPS, Al Dhafra and Al Minhad
2. Forrestal added with slots for F-14A/F-14B/FA-18C
3. More mission targets added
4. Spawn timers adjusted for red air patrols/strikes etc
5. Many script changes, too many to list
Be aware the abovementioned issue with persistence is still present, hopefully fixed in the next ED hotfix/patch etc. Enjoy.
next one is Scarlet?

This update reflects improvement, but still lacking power on the aircraft.
In RL a viper with 2 bags, 4, 0, 2, ALQ can easily fly at FL300-350, but with the current FM it is almost impossible to fly on MIL power to such altitudes. Another comparison with RL, a clean hornet and viper, the hornet can sustain the viper or even overtake in MIL power.
For me it is lacking of power in all the regime until MIL.
I hope it will be solved one day.

It seems that work for some and others not

does it works for MP PVE or PvP?
thanks!

@IronMikethanks for this awesome product, I enjoy a lot flying it.
I guess i didn't have an answer when I asked about if we will have the option with Jester to select the target to shoot in TWS, it is a basic to perform sorting in BVR.
Maybe it is possible and I dunno.
Thanks for your answer.

Hi all, yesterday I tested the instant action in Marianas, JF hunting, 4 JF shot down firing around 60nm Mach 1 and FL350, 1 Phoenix each one, shooting and keeping in gimbals until pitbull, two of them were in multishoot.
Aim54A mk60.

As mentioned above, this needs to be achieved with mand attack, do not attack or next launch from the backseat. Active pause isnt necessary btw, Iceman will fly the plane for you just fine in the meantime (if far enough away).
Yes, but not in MP, honestly it should similar to the STT selection contact but with TWS, it is fundamental for Air to Air engagement to be able to perform a sorting with tws.
-
Agree with @IronMike, but then, how to select in TWS the contact to be sorted without STT?, imagine a couple of migs in front and in the rear the bomber, and the TWS pick up the bombers first, how to sort the MiGs in TWS?

Oh it still goes for chaff, trust me, I've seen it fairly often in my tests. I believe in the mk60 long tacview it did as well? would have to rewatch it, but while putting them together, it went for it several times when I was testing out tactics.
in my opinion, the effectivity of the chaffs are related with the AI level, with Ace skill the performance of chaffs are awesome!, has no sense such AI honestly, the maneouvers they do are not realistic.
-
I can confirm, awesome campaign, when it is roughly foreseen the second part???!!!, we all are looking forward to it.
