F16FLCS-SME Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 AVIONICS POWER DL switch is mentioned few times in the manual. The player is requested several times to move it to the DL (ON) position. However. page 151 clearly states: The DL switch next to the knob is not applicable to this block of the F-16C So please remove all instructions to use it at all.

F16FLCS-SME Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 As a general rule throughtout the manul, each acronym should be explained in its first instance. I.e. the acronym "CCIP" appears first in page 39 but explained only in page 219 as • CCIP – Continuously Computed Impact Point. It means the user needs to read more than 80% of the manaul just to understand what he read after 15%... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F16FLCS-SME Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 As a suggestion to make the manual more professionally looking like -1 and -34: Please use all caps for every cockpit control and position. I.e. in page 239 when the Laser Arm switch is set to arm Should be "when the LASER ARM switch is set to ARM". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F16FLCS-SME Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Sometimes the manual clearly states some options are not implemented yet. But in other cases its missing, so it is confusing. I.e. after a successful FLCS BIT test, the manual instructs me to check for BIT PASS in the FLCS MFD page (page 99). However, MFD FLCS and TEST pages shows a placeholder. It would be nice if the manual will include notes for everything that is still not implemented, WIP or a placeholder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouli306 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 On 11/14/2020 at 4:53 PM, F16FLCS-SME said: Completely wrong! "The ALT FLAPS switch allows manual trailing edge flap engagement only in case the LG handle cannot be lowered. Above a certain airspeed, TEF will rise regardless of this switch position". But it switches the FLCS to Landing gains. And there are other reasons to lower your flaps without lowering the landing gear. so not only when the handle does not lower.

Bouli306 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 On 11/15/2020 at 2:57 AM, F16FLCS-SME said: "when above". Above what??? AGL? MSL? Obviously I know what the switch really does because I read it on -34. But the DCS manual should assume no such thing and give concise info about every control the player(pilot) may interact with. When set to automatic, radar altitude is displayed when above ground altitude is below 1,500 feet and barometric altitude when above (so above 1500feet AGL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jestr Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Page 36: In NORM, the AL pointer indicates remaining fuel in the aft left reservoir and the A-1 fuselage tank, and the FR pointer indicates the sum fuel in the forward right reservoir tank and the F-1 and F-2 fuselage tanks. Might want to add this note: The FUEL QTY SEL knob must be in NORM for operation of the automatic forward fuel transfer system, trapped fuel warning, and for the BINGO fuel warning computation to be based on fuselage fuel. Tested this in DCS and it is implemented correctly apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerian Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Page 28 Quote CBU-87 CEM The CBU-97 Combined Effects Munitions (CEM) is an unguided cluster bomb. It was first developed in 1986. Each bomb contains an SUU-65/B canister and 202 submunitions. The submunitions have both fragmentation and incendiary effects and are effective against both vehicles and personnel. Should say "The CBU-87 Combined Combined Effects Munitions" Page 30 Quote AGM-154A. The baseline AGM-154 variant consists of 145 BLU-97/B combined effects submunitions, with both armor-piercing and incendiary effects. These submunitions are identical to the ones used in the CBU-97. The AGM-154A cannot be re-targeted after launch. Should say "These submunitions are identical to the ones used in the CBU-87."

GoodOldeBenji Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 In the Simultaneous Employment Against Multiple Targets section, the following TMS Left interrogates targets. To cycle between targets in DTT/TWS, it's TMS right. Same issue occurs throughout that section. Also there's a blank step at the end The Avionics Power board is on the right, instead of the left as indicated in this diagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahkken Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Latest Changes (p.9) does not include any changes after 11 July 2021. Significant changes to manual and F16 capabilities have been integrated (Ground Radar for example) and is not documented here. Please make this either a Latest Changes which accurately reflects major update history, or a document version index and provide context to what has changed between doc revs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxOne007 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 In typical ED fashion the manual has once again not been updated to include the latest changes, pretty poor track record this. New changes (especially significant ones like addition of HTS, Markpoints, etc.) should be in the manual once it's released to the sim, now we're once again left to figure out half the stuff on our own (like how to input MGRS and make sure it saves) 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
