[REPORTED] F-16 Issues After 6/3 Update

[Rhayvn]

So far:

 

1. HUD and HMD brightness is very low at max brightness. It's virtually impossible to see against light backgrounds.

 

2. Radar Antennae elevation controls do not work. Keyboard or bound.

 

3. New Steerpoints show HUD symbology and are usable by the autopilot. Preset steerpoints show no HUD symbology and are not steerable by the autopilot.

 

4. TGP designation vs CCRP target is ~100 yards offset. Point track on the TGP does not correspond to the actual ground targeted location for the CCRP cues. Possibly using the wrong altitude for the coordinates?

 

The 16 is FAR more broken than it was two hours ago. But hey, we can manually add steerpoints!!

F-16 Bugs in today's patch

 

Oops. Just saw someone made a thread about missing tadpole.

Some of the defects were known in advance to ED and yet they still went ahead with it:

See Wags video and you can already spot them if you look.

2, 3 and 4 are reported (4 in particular wasn't introduced in this update, it was there before).

 

For 2, the antenna elevation does work, it's just the TDC altitude numbers not updating.

 

1 is a general DCS issue, so hopefully it'll be fixed across the board and not just for the Viper

[Rhayvn]

It's not just the altitude numbers on the FCR, it's also the elevation indicator and while it wasn't many tests, the tests done showed no indication that elevation or depression were happening. Targets outside the listed altitudes on the FCR marker were not detected no matter how the settings were manipulated.

Checked again, it slews in RWS but not in TWS, I'll update the report

F-16 Issues After 6/3 Update

 

1.HUD is very light on the brightness even when turned all the way up as well as HMCS.

 

 

2. Steer point does not show on HUD when selected.

 

 

3. TGP: BHOT and TV modes are too bright and unusable.

 

 

4. CCRP bomb fall line does not line up in HUD and no drop cue or timer.

 

 

P.S. Please add key bind for ejection safety lever.

5. El Strobe does not display changes in altitude scanned in FCR.

i agree, the hud is very difficult to see now, the quality of the video on the TGP is terrible. same observations about bhot and whot. i noticed the same thing on the hornet as well yesterday. the flir quality was not nearly as good as it was.

[bartzebrat]

Agree on all of these points!

[jppsx]

same problem whit the tgp is to bright and have weird line in it

[Pixelhead]

I found a fitst bug with f 16 before 10 min a new patch(bug with autocopy stirpoints) I dont know what are they doing with plane, every putch worst and the worst

6. Radar Elevation cursor does not show altitude change when moved (RWS)

 

7. Elevation cursor does not move in TWS.

[CobaltUK]

Must assume Grip Reapers reported such issues but released anyway ?

I confirm those bugs RDR Elev knob STUCK on middle position. :(

It was working like a charm before :(

[Recon21288]

Before or after charging ED for the privilege? :P

 

Can confirm all of the above issues.

[SCPanda]

I hope they can hotfix this soon. The radar elevation bug will make f-16 useless in A-A.

[Bog9y]

Just had a little flight and yes, I also get all of the above issues. So annoying, got a flight planned tonight but won't be able to now.

 

Is it possible to roll back to previous patch?

[SCPanda]

Well, just BVR I guess not WVR

Confirm all of the above.

Response to New Patch 6-3-20

 

Does ED even look at the changes they've made before they release a patch? They should be embarrassed for putting out such crap.

Yes it is, or fly on the Stable.

 

I haven't updated the Open Beta yet, but how the hell this:

DCS F-16C by ED

Added ability to create new waypoints.

Low altitude, Low fuel, High speed wobbling - fixed

 

can cause everything listed in this post....amazing

Well I dunno, I continue to believe the weak link is lack of beta testers. From a virtual point of view via BMS I know the F16C quite well and have offered my help in testing but it always falls upon deaf ears.
