BMGZ06

All I care about is if it is going to run better than PG map in VR.

Please tell me that this entire setup is still planned to be released like this:) This is what I have been looking for.

Just to make sure you dont have the same issue I had, please make sure the radar elevation indicator carrot on the left side of the radar page is not stuck at the very top so the radar is pointing straight up. Mine was defaulting to that and because I never messes with it before It took me awhile to realize it. Then if it is pointing to the top just slew it down to the middle of the radar elevation range.

I did but it did not overwrite the first time and I made sure it did now and it works finally. Looks a lot better now.

I tried this edit out with the same cockpit mod you use and I see no difference in the sunlight. They are still washed out. I also used your description.lua. I have the modded pit selected as well.

You like the extension really? I got it but hated it. Didn't like how much extra throw I had to use for precision flying. I guess I would be a better Viper pilot than Hornet pilot in real life.lol

I would like to get a buttkicker but all you guys bought them up! So I have to make my girlfriend shake and hit my chair as well as make appropriate sounds while I fly in VR...it's not the same though.

This is an interesting topic for sure and one that I have experienced many times now coming in on what I think is a perfect centered ball with 650-750ft decent rate and then miss the wires. This has caused me to develop a bad habit of setting up with the ball just below the datum lights and I normally catch a 3 or 4 wire. For the sake of fun here is a cool old training video of how the older FLOL system was calibrated. It may still be done in a similar way I dont know but I doubt it.

Ya I know how to do it with the jester menu but that is disabled with AIRIO. I tried this method in the video with AIRIO and used the map marker number in the command and jesters acknowledges and starts typing war and peace into the nav system back there but then I get no new steerpoint info to follow. No range info or anything. He understands the normal navigate to steerpoint 1-3 just fine. So AIRIO is working.

Ya fof me I noticed the AIM7 is not as good as before. I fired 4 at one plane at less than 10 and 5 miles and they all missed without even coming close. Perhaps this is the way the real ones act. I just saw this write up bu NAVAIR about it being replaced by AIM-120. https://www.navair.navy.mil/product/Air-Intercept-Missile-AIM-7-Sparrow Some other good info on the history and effectiveness of them http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-7.html

I am itching to get the F14 stick now that I am so into flying the F14 again. I was talking to a tech rep at EVGA today and he plays DCS also. He was thinking about getting the warthog stick and I think I talked him out of it and into getting a VKB stick and MFG pedals. I am telling everyone I fly with to get VKB and ditch the TM. They all have issues doing AAR and see that I do not. It has nothing to do with skill I tell them and everything to do with the gunfighter 3.

Yup me too with the hand. We are not as bright as the sunlight I guess.:megalol:

Heeyyy now, don't make fun of good ol' Hazard Fraught.

I still find myself trying to move into the sunlight to cast a shadow in VR still.lol When will I learn...

Ok so after going back in and testing in the 4 v 4 mission I saw that for some reason when selecting the AIM7 the radar preset for it is the normal 40 miles and 140 deg scan but the radar altitude scan is stuck pointing straight up instead of being right in the middle like it normally would be. I usually never mess with that at all so I didnt pay attention to it until now. Once I was able to bring the elevation carrot back to the middle the radar works as it should. The questions though is why on earth would it be defaulted to point straight up? I am going to check with the others I fly with to see if that is there issue as well.

Ya i noticed the track got replaced. I tried to upload the track and then the site told me that it was already posted but that one was the f14 track. SO I deleted it from my other thread. THen uploaded what I thought was the f18 track and somehow it ended up still being the F14 track. This makes no sense. No the repair didn't mess up the hotfix. I did the repair because the radar lock was not working. I was just flying with some others and two of them said the radar was not working for them either. The tanker was right in front of them and it was not showing up. I tried updating again several times

So the tomcat is limited to 3 way-points but I see the map marker commands can be used as well. The issue is how do I even make use of this?If I got to the F10 and place a label on the map is that how I would do it? If so then I have not figured out how to get it to work The vaicom manual talks about map markers being designated as a "surface target or fixed point etc" but I do not see how to actually designate it.

Yes I downloaded it and did a repair. Still nothing works unless in bore sight. Some others have had issues still as well. In this track file it can be seen that depressing the TDC over a target does not lock it up at all no matter the missile variant.

Even after the hotfix today i still cant get locks in any mode other than bore sight close in to target. Most of the time the radar still shows nothing to begin with. Slewing to targets that do show up in radar and depressing TDC makes the radar center on that target and the B sweep rapidly scans it but no lock ever happens in RWS or TWS modes.

Ya I had to repair but then had to reset vaicom as well. A good process to follow is: DCS update, then delete shaders and repair via dcs update utility, then reset vaicom options and lua. That seems to work for me.

+1

No lock at all with AIM7 unless in bore sight mode - Track attached Not doing anything different than before the last 2 updates to get locks that I used to be able to get well beyond 60 miles. Please tell me if I am missing something obvious. Just tested the F18 training amraam and no targets show on radar besides the hit triangle and then I still cant lock it up and get any more info on target. If someone else could try this training and confirm.

Radar still doesnt work for me after update unless bore sight mode is active and still wont show any targets on radar until bore sight mode is on and gets a lock.

Yup i was in the same boat as you today. 1gb fiber connection and alternated between 200kb to 2mb/sec. Pretty bad. They have to figure out how to deliver better speeds. I see it being blamed on local ISP a lot in other threads. I do not believe that at all. I have downloaded files from overseas servers many times recently and get anywhere from 40-100mb/sec

I agree, it is time for people to not be afraid to get inside the phone booth and mix it up.:thumbup: Use that GUN peeps:joystick:
