Callsign JoNay Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Interesting. I thought I remember Mooch or Bio saying they were incompatible. I can't remember which video it was from though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember which video it was from though. Incompatible without additional work. Like mentioned we do know the version we have was an intermediary version and that all LANTIRN birds later had PTID because it was way easier to integrate it. We wanted a LANTIRN and preferred having it in a realistic if rare version over not having it. The choice here wasn't between a LANTIRN with TID and a LANTIRN with PTID, it was between LANTIRN with TID or no LANTIRN. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka CMF Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 After todays update F-14B became randomly unflyable regarding trim. I have created an empty Syria mission from Dier ez-Zor airbase cold start from parking and it always starts hot unless throttles are in cutoff In many cases it starts with broken trim in either roll or pitch and it doesn't let to be trimmed to neutral and sometimes it is blocked in one direction. Autopilot is also broken - when disengaged when supersonic it starts rolling and impossible to trim, need to reset all 3 flight stabilization switches to stabilize Plane sometimes becomes unstable and starts rolling midflight I have experienced torsional flutter very visible on F2 view All this was happening over several flights and I had to reset mission few times 1 F-14, A-10CII, F/A-18, Spitfire, FC3, Supercarrier and all of the maps/terrains R7 5800X, 32GB DDR4 3733GHz CL14, RTX3090, Sound blaster Z, Oculus Quest 2 and Reverb G2, WINWING F/A-18 Orion HOTAS...

It was not resistant to beam or notch. Sounded more like the radar refreshed the TID slow but that it didn't decorrelate the track file. I'm gonna guess that the DDD contact did blank out into the notch filter for a while but repopped up into the scan volume once it was out of the filter.

It's in stark contrast to the AWG-9 behavior in DCS, because in DCS it just can't wait to decorrelate your track files, and then your missile is trash.

Because if the target beams and notches you long enough and out of the scan volume, he is gone. DCS isn't really performing an actual radar scan. Its simulating a radar and the TID, not emulating the system. I firmly believe that DCS is a game. It is a simulation, and not an actual emulation of actual systems.

Spurts Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 The HB modules emulate the systems even when DCS does not. That is why the Viggen had ground mapping radar before the Hornet. That is why we can't have the F-14D. If they can't figure out how a system functions internally they won't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaphael Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Definitely appreciate HB for that. Trying to emulate systems and weapons performance speaks volumes of their dedication to what they do. Yet, an engine like DCS, there are limits to this approach simply because there are too many real world variables. So sometimes, it's okay to just simulate, just make the end product feel like the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool take on that AIM-54 shot against that MiG-25 in early '99. I'm guessing by this time the fleet was now devoid of AIM-54A's and was relying entirely on the 54C for use. We know from multiple sources, the 54C has the ability to go active on it's own based upon an INS system internal to it like the AIM-120 does. Heatblur has said it will come to the 54C, but has given no ETA on when that may be. It's also important to note he was in an F-14D at the time and it is possible the AWG-9 COULDN'T but the AN/APG-71 COULD. What was more interesting in this podcast, was Crunch's comment about the AWG-9 and NOT cranking after launching an AIM-54 in the -A and -B because it would "feed the missile bad data". I've asked about it in the comments section to the video, so who knows if we get a response to that or not! 3 My YT Channel (DCS World, War Thunder and World of Warships) Too Many Modules to List --Unapologetically In Love With the F-14-- Anytime Baby! -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
