Roger that! Lines are always dashed, so I guess a bug exists when they launch a missile.

Nice, Santi! Roger that! Thanks for the detailed information.

Right now the HARMS in the Hornet when fired in SP make a trajectory like the knew the range of the threat. They don't loft of course, but make a rather straight and a little bit up path and when they are close to the target they start diving. Is this intended? AFAIK when fired in SP or even TOO the missiles should point directly to the signal, thus losing a lot of range.

As title says. AG radar does not slave to the offset designation and stays in original waypoint. FLIR instead does. offset radar slave.trk

Another thing that confuses me is that since now they are all dashed lines, they get mixed up with the flight plan seq. That's why I was more inclined to think it was a bug rather than intended. But again, I am not sure.

Fair enough. The manual though could have been updated easily. I'm not trying to be funny here, just find this strange since there is no other topic in the forums (at least that I could find) saying something about this being changed. Conspiracy for sure xd

I'm just surprised the current implementation is so off compared to the manual and Wags' video.

And do we know if that's intended? I mean, not only the colors are green but also all the lines are dotted instead of solid when flight member. Seems off, but I'm not sure.

I see both green. Manual says red is the color, and Wags video on YT as well.

I'm seeing the lines of this feature green instead of red. Am I doing something wrong?

Should it? Based on above comments now I'm not sure if it should.

Yes, but that's a different bug I noticed today. What I meant was that always after pressing undesignate the FLIR just drifts when the manual says it should not. But I'm not sure if its a bug or intended.

Aloha! In 2020 I remember that designating targets or waypoints when the JDAMs are in TOO used to store the coordinates, but now if I undesignate the TGT the coordinates just disappear. Is this intended? Thanks.

Hello hello. Manual says that pressing undesignate will put the flir in INR mode. What happens to me is that when I do that the flir says INR but the actual LOS is drifted like in an angular snowplow. Am I doing something wrong or it's just a bug? Thanks.

Does stored heading work in carriers then?

Thanks Tholozor! I hope someone can jump in and provide feedback about the update rate of the MIDS. It intrigates me beyond words hehe.

Jeez!!! Nice landing dude! I think the carrier's kitchen will have a very busy afternoon. Back to the test: I think the ICLS was pretty stabilized within some margins like IRL. But the IFLOS was all over the place. Probably the DCS lacks the torsion bar simulation.

OMG! So I can literally see them on scope??? I will try that today for sure. On a side note, If you land on a carrier what procedure you use to update the INS (given no gps avail)? I guess the only option is to go with a CV align again, right?

Thanks! I think I got a clearer picture now. Appreciate the help!

Understood! So the difference between DCS and NATOPS in the overfly update is that in DCS you just accept rather than pressing the TDC, right? And maybe also the fact that NATOPS doesn't say you have to designate it, just select it.

So how does the TGT update work? Do you need to overfly the waypoint you designate? How does the MC know where you really are just by designating a wpt?

XD yeah sorry, it's been a while!

I think the TCN update also works, I need investigate further. Have you tried?

Thank you! About the position update, is there some place where I can read about those procedures? I think the manual doesn't have anything about it. The one you use, how is it done? Thanks.

Hello everyone. I havent been playing dcs this year as I was doing some flying oversea but now I'm at home again and willing to play dcs. There was a lot of work put on the hornet and many things have changed. If you allow me I'd like to make some quick questions (maybe one of them will be quite large) to see how the F18 is doing now. What is the current state in the implementation of the INS? Do we have degradation simulated like the Mirage? Does the stored heading always work regardless if the aircraft was las shut down with a full gyro alignment and no movement after? Is there any situation when it won't work in DCS? What kind of INS position update features do we have implemented now? About datalink, I know there are many classified stuff and I dont want to break any rules, but, when it comes to the HMD datalink airborne symbols I noticed that the extrapolation is very well simulated, but the 12 seconds update rate the whole DCS MIDS is based on makes it useless when a PPLI contact moves and you end up looking to any place but the correct one until 12 seconds (it it moved right after the last update). Maybe @Pieterras or @IvanK can help me understand if IRL it is also that slow. I remember Mover once said in youtube that 12 seconds is absurd in a combat environment but he would not go into details. Though there were documents that somehow stated that 12 seconds was actually correct so I'm lost in this department. There was a bug when aligning the INS in a carrier that ED was working on. Do you know if it is still an issue? I got lost in the forums and cannot find the thread. Thanks and appreciate any help!
