Hi everyone, attached are two trackfiles that shows SA2 and SA3 missing the target, but the problem here is that despite the proximity to the target the missiles does not explode, acting like some kind of contact fuze and not prox fuse. Some reports from 70s, 80s and 90s says that those old SAMs are prone to explode in proximity to the target, not always a killing the target but due to their poor elotronics it simply explode. I think that those poximty fuzes or proximity equations should be tuned to better represent those SAM systems. SA2_PF_1.trk SAM_PF_2.trk

Hello, Here is a quick review of my publications during the last months of 2024, in case one of these topics is interesting you more particularly: - Targeting: discovering the Electronic Target Folder, introduction to the Collateral Damage Estimate process, ETF example for initial OEF campaign, introduction to the No Strike List and NSL example for Afghanistan; - CombatFlite maps: Iraq maps (like ESRI and ONC), Middle East 1:5.000.000 GNC map (from Syria to Afghanistan), Kola maps (ONC, TPC, topo, etc...); - Weaponeering: bomb fuzes guide, recommended bomb fuze settings for the Hornet, Viper and Warthog; - Airport charts and procedures: explanation of tactical take-off and landing procedures in Afghanistan, landing charts and procedures for several airport (in particular, Kandahar); - Maps: introduction to MGRS and CGRS grids, examples for Afghanistan (MGRS maps, CGRS grid for OEF); Many more will follow, and I'll be happy to get your feedback and hear about your topics of interest in order to guide my work.

Hello Heatblur and everyone. I noticed something odd regarding the new bomb color graphics not showing in-game for pylon 1B and 8B; however, they do show within Mission Editor armament screen. I have attached three screenshots to better illustrate. Note that pylon 3, 4, 5, and 6 are showing everything correctly both in armament screen also in-game (not shown in attached screenshots). The screenshots showing a Mk.83 and x 2 Mk.82SE loaded on respective pylons within ME, but once I actually start the mission under an AI controlled the said ordinances will default back to their olive drab (USAF) color. Am I missing something or did something wrong? Does anyone notice this anomaly? Pic 1: Mk.82SE on pylon 1B showing only olive drab despite being selected as USN greyish concrete color within ME Fuze option panel. Same anomaly can be seen for Mk.83 on pylon 8B. Pic 2: For pylon 1B, the Mk.82SE is clearly selected within fuze option panel to show USN color within the ME armament screen. Pic 3: Meanwhile, a Mk.83 on pylon 8B is also selected with USN color within same screen. Does any of your Tomcats showing such a disparity between ME vs in-game for bomb color? Thanks in advance in helping.

Where can I find information about each fuze and when to use it? I looked in the F-16CM manual and couldn't find it. I would like to know the difference between each fuze. Thank you very much!

Unable to attach track. Unfortunately the 5mb limit of upload means even a compressed track comes out to 11.5 mb, and is too large for upload. Verified fuzing set as required on all modules. The fuze-failures seemed to occur in bombs dropped after a few. (First few drops were successful and worked as desired). Resetting fuze switches, arm on and off, did not resolve issue. Bombs were dropped from different platforms at various altitudes (High, medium, and low).
