Fixed:

• AA gunsight solution for LCOS mode
• AG radar EXP/DBS1 not use TDC position as the center of sector enlarged in next stage
• AG radar antenna elevation in GMTI/SEA1/SEA2 modes
• AG radar real beam map gain/brt/cont control
• AG radar terrain avoidance image gain/brt/cont control
• HSD moving map brt/cont control
• C802AK now partially works (by ED) - needs to choose proper target size for acquisition (i.e MED for Ivanov cargo, LAR for Perry)
• radio TR+G mode (com1 guard 121.5MHz, com2 guard 243.0MHz)

Added:

• Support of radio com1/2 VOIP with new binding:
  • HOTAS Throttle T4 Fwd/Bwd VOIP: for VOIP only
  • HOTAS Throttle T4 Fwd/Bwd (w/ VOIP): quick push/release for radio menu
  • HOTAS Throttle T4 Fwd/Bwd (w/ VOIP): long push (hold) for VOIP
• AA radar speed gate low/high toggle (used for low speed target filter)
• AG radar EXP mode for GMTI/SEA1/SEA2
• AG radar ship contact echo size difference according to ship RCS
  • small (none C802AK target size setting can help [reported])
  • medium (C802AK target size - MED)
  • large (C802AK target size - LAR)
• AG radar BCN mode (2-digit BCN code can be set in AG CNTL page)
• Now use tacan signal to simulate the beacon signal
• Empty 800L/1100L fuel tank as loadout
• If taxi-out without disconnecting ground power cable, it could damage the aircraft
• Multipurpose UFC binding preset

Adjusted:

• AA/AG radar CNTL page
• AG GMTI/SEA1/SEA2 contact color
• CH Pro Throttle and Warthog Joystick HOTAS binding preset (check your input binding)

There are several bugs reported (802AK LOS, bomb release sequence not match SMS selected pylons etc)

Sorry that I'm quite busy with personal affairs this month, so might not have enough time to fix them.

But I will try my best.

Checked with our SME, and updated wmd7, especially the manual laser on/off.

1. there's no stick trigger to turn on/off laser. the only way is to use WMD7 page OSB R4

2. when release bomb, it will automatically laser, and pilot can manually turn it off by clicking OSB R4

3. when laser is off, pilot can click R4 to manually turn it on, then R4 "LSR" will show a static frame. if auto laser on, the frame will blink.

4. when wmd7 is caged, pilot can only edit laser code

5. only when in air and gear up, pilot can uncage wmd7, otherwise, wmd7 will automatically cage

* so in next update, current laser designator on/off input binding will be removed.

Hi All,

I forgot to mention something in changelog.

We’re currently reviewing the SEP characteristics of JF-17 to make it adhere to the EM diagrams again, as some of the points mismatch for some reason.

Changes have been made for low altitude performance in the current OB update. We’re finishing up the work on remaining altitudes.
