Patch 1.13 Requested Features/Fixes List (*Merged)

[GGTharos]

Yep ... it was a very good source. ;)

[vadIL]

Please fix Online Tanker refuling - not visable boom in kc-10

[tflash]

If ED has to read through 100+ posts just to realize that some guys want a completely new sim as a "patch", I guess there will be no 1.13 at all. We should focus on what is broken in 1.12a and should be fixed, not on what could all be very interesting.

[Frostie]

So, bright one...what part of this list isnt kosher with the rest of the communities needs (aside from I want this I want that because its being implemented into BS) ?

? Its your list, not the definitive list like your trying to make out, you've selected what you want from the communities wishes, bright one.:P

You say fix AMRAAM what about R-77 that misses bad too, or are you only interested in one a/c? What about ER?

[X-man]

I just realised I should mention one more thing (after someone mentioned this bug in this thread before me):

 

In russian aircraft when you turn on the radar and sellect TWS mode... the first time you scroll the TDS box over a contact it will automatically lock it (IFF doesn't matter). This will happen every time but only the first time you scroll the TDS over a contact on the radar. This has to be a bug that I think should be fixed also.

This has never happend to me :huh:

[GGTharos]

Guys, there already has been a 'must fix' list for a long time - it was put together on the beta forums. This has been mentioned before. This list includes FM adjustment, missile issues, ECM and G modelling. As stated, as many things as possible will be fixed that are on that list.

[TorwaK]

I know it'll be bad question but how long we must wait for the new patch?

[GGTharos]

Like Wags said, probably after Black Shark.

[Kuky]

This has never happend to me :huh:

 

happens to me all the time. Try quick mission for the su-27... turn on the radar, set to TWS mode then scroll the targeting box over one of the three aircraft... once you get it over the radar strobe line, it will firstly automatically show range, then just a split of a second later it will autolock. Once I unlock then repeat the same, it will no longer do it, meaning I actually need to press lock to lock the target. Very anoying if you do that with friendly aircraft.

Two problems may cause this:

First, when you switch in SNP (TWS) mode, in 75% range of the selected weapon the target is automaticaly locked on, the radar not just "tracking" it. So make sure while testing this bug, that you're way out the ranges of your weapon.

 

Second, if you brake lock, the radar returns to OVZ mode. (normal, with the 3 submodes; dunno what is it in english HUD)

 

I never had problems with that.

yup, you're right, it will auto lock only when you are about 70-80% of the max-range of the selected weapon... but it does it only the first time you scrol the TDS over a radar contact. I don't know which one should be correct way.. should it auto lock every time you are in TWS and in range on the weapon, or never? I doubt doing it just the first time is the correct way...:huh:

[S77th-konkussion]

This has never happend to me :huh:

 

I think Kuky is specifically referring to a SOFT lock. That is- the target is bugged but the target is not being alerted about the extra attention he's getting.

 

Problem is- it will do this to ANY target even if it is friendly. The automatic switching to STT @ 80% of RMAX exasperates the problem because again- it will paint and LOCK the one prioritized- friendly or not.

 

His contention is this could not possibly be modeled correctly. If it is- the engineering team should be laughed off the planet.

[S77th-konkussion]

heh. Note to self: Type faster, dammit.

[Kuky]

no Konkussion... I mean, the target will be locked. I am not talking about F-15 TWS mode but rather Su-27/33 and MiG-29. Every time, only first time after I turn on the radar and sellect TWS (russian SNP) the moment I place the targetting cursor over the target, if I am within the weapon range it will auto lock, but it won't do it afterwards... this can't be right?

[rattler]

I know it'll be bad question but how long we must wait for the new patch?

 

yup, your right because we will never see a 1.13 patch. Read between lines Ed no resources. Other more important projects. Don't mean to be a bubble breaker because I am wishing as hard as everyone that there will be a Patch. In RL I am afraid we are out of luck.:cry:

[S77th-konkussion]

Oh ok- I was also referring to the SUe's but I did not catch exactly what you meant. (auto lock again after removing cursor)

[Frostie]

When you switch to TWS mode the cursor snaps onto the nearest contact, then, at 85% range auto locks. (this is meant to happen)

 

If you unlock the target you will be switched into normal BVR mode, so you need to switch back into TWS (not sure if this should happen)

[59th_LeFty]

Yep. That's what I sad, so I guess Kuky does not make this mistake. About how it SHOULD work, I'll ask the pilots.

 

Anyway, IFF in these planes is not that magical like in LO, if you move TDS over a target, there is an interrogator button in the stick, ZAPROS I think. In newer systems, with data-link, I've got no idea.

Yes, thats right! A way around this, if you wanna keep a TWS track on the target within 80% of Rmax, is to select your shortest ranged weapon, say R-73s (since 80% of Rmax would be very close), til you want to launch. Then switch back to your weapon of choice and fire....Its stupid but works so and so.....

[Reaper-6]

I agree with GG ?!?!?

 

Guys, there already has been a 'must fix' list for a long time - it was put together on the beta forums. This has been mentioned before. This list includes FM adjustment, missile issues, ECM and G modelling. As stated, as many things as possible will be fixed that are on that list.

 

I'd like to see the Beta Mashers "Punch List" addressed. They are going to be the best documented and understood possible changes. There for most likely to be properly and less painfully implemented.

 

Don't forget, this would be a good bye pat on the ass. They're done with us here.

 

But the 4 GG mentioned, are pretty reasonable in addressing the core "issues" that people have been pissin and moanin about for awhile. And would leave LO:FC in a much better post development position.

 

Attracting more late comers over the next few years to buy into the DCS modules. Which will come, understandably as a 2nd priority to any Mil Tech Contract.

Maybe before we forget: it would of course be nice to have wide screen support right from within the options interface, instead of having to open graphics.cfg with notepad!

Nice but not really important I think. This is an issue you CAN change by yourself. All the other stuff is a "no-go" for us, so...

[7rooper]

The wide screen support issue is important anyway. And these are the kind of fixes devolopers first pay attention to.

[MigLeader]

all i want is just modding the game because modding can fix all the bugs in the game.

[beterhans]

enn....

 

- FIX Multiplayer Air-refuel bug !

- Create a interface for modding! like FS
