OK, I'm going to put my ego down and ask

I can't confirm this but I think DCS as an engine fudges quite a bit of the core CCIP mechanics in order to accommodate the coded weapon FMs. In years of flying the A-10C (which should be even more victimized by these target elevation source drawbacks flying without a pod), I've never personally witnessed these kinds of CCIP errors you'd expect to see without a pod fulfilling ARBS functions.

 

I know DCS models the varying accuracy of pulled grids with and without using a laser rangefinder, but I'm not confident that this has any bearing on how CCIP functions in the sim.

 

In the actual Harrier, this would also be presented to the pilot as a completely different mode on the HUD as well. CCIP, BCIP (Baro), GCIP (GPS), and RCIP (Radar) depending on the selected source and accuracy.

Maybe so on the A10, i dont fly it much.

 

On the viggen however setting up the correct HOT is fairly critical to accurate weapons delivery via QFE. So i think its possible to model.

I also don't know if the A10c assumes her own height, or the height from a map. I just wanted to point out that the A10c has coordinates when slewing, but you need to laser for getting correct coordinates. Which seems legit to me.

Unfortuantely, this leads to the Harrier is once coded disappointing and rushed...

 

A10c as the Harrier uses GPS for their own coordinates, so there should be no discussion about INS drift etc..

 

 

Looking through the forums here and I've noticed you are constantly bemoaning the harrier, if your are not happy with its functionality surely you must accept you are part accountable for buying it, you didn't have to. You can be passionate and positive ;)
