Fast alignment drifts with pitch and roll angles of more than 10 degrees. You need to do normal or precise alignment

I agreed, almost alignment does not seem to be there for combat operations.
Normal alignment is therefore almost necessary if you want to fly a combat mission.
But 15 minutes of just waiting is a long, long time.

When you're playing with a lot of people, something unexpected can always happen.
And if you have to take a new KA-50, you have to wait another 15 minutes.

I hope ED could move the alignment settings from mission editor to "the aircraft special options",so we could choose the alignment style we like in any MP mission...

But regarding to settings like this,DCS now focuses too much on PvP balance these days.

You could always set up a Mission Start trigger like so for now:

Will try it tomorrow. Hope I can handle it.

Edith: works. Thanks

Because it’s not a new module , it’s just an updated old Module …

 

 

What kind of argument is this? A-10v2 was also „just“ an update to an old module. The buyers are still waiting for the promised ARC-210 radio for it after 2 years. Just got delayed again.ED still hasn’t completed that simple „update“ after 2 years of release.

That might have told you something.

Anyway, I agree ED could do a lot better, but again, it’s not the first time and if you keep buying unquestioningly into their modules without waiting for reviews, don’t be surprised  if their modus operandi doesn’t change and you have  buggy and feature incomplete software for longer periods of time.

IDK, it sounds to me like your argument is the flawed one.  Just because it happened to A10C-II, it doesn't justify happening to BS3.  I bought it in the hopes that ED will finally work on the Shark and fix the bugs because BS2 was pretty much abandonware.  But it got worse.  You can't possibly play any campaign in current state.  I am still hoping that it all gets fixed eventually.

And I might take your advice and don't buy anything else from ED because waiting for reviews is also pointless.  There's old post of mine where I asked if BS2 was as complete as A10C and everyone said YES except just one.  You'll also find plenty YouTube reviews of BS3 raving about it.

Well then you can still wait with future products ,until they are available via 2 week trial to see if they meet your personal expectations- Again, the A10C-II, is not only product , nor the first product of ED that stayed feature incomplete and bugged for a long time after initial release. I just brought it up as an example, because Shlomo made it sound a bit like - "it was just an update and updates are different to module releases"

I didn't think the "possible" bug fix and Igla was worth $20.  But maybe $10.  You can say I fell for ED's marketing but I was trying to salvage my prior purchase.  Just stating my reason for buying the buggy upgrade since you asked in prior post.

And A10C-II wasn't this bad upon initial release.  You could still complete missions.

Ok, yes, fair enough,  I can understand that line of thinking with the purchase salvaging. Thanks for explaining . Hmm no really good way to go about it then. I don't have the answer either. Personally I  decided not to buy anymore from EDs own module lineup , until they improve a lot on product bugfixing and core. I'll stick to 3rd party with better track records.

But everyone gets to make their own decision of course.

Unfortunately I have never flown the a-10 and was never interested for it. 
So I didn’t know the story about. But a shame to hear this.

But I my hope for including missing features like a real contrast lock system,  a working cockpit sealing and wiper , icing cockpit windows and that they will make all the cockpit switches working for 2/3 position keybinds , is still not dead.

The A-10C II development including bug fixes basically got frozen just a few months after the initial release due to lack of development resource.And the development just continued recently in the late 2022.

The A-10C was my favorite model before the A-10C II got released,because it was development for military training,and the level of system completion/detail/damage model is well above the F18 ,F16 and most other dcs models. But a lot of things just got messed up with the update,also some of the features got buggy out or removed with the update(such as engine hung start,and the reverse clearing for the GAU-8, the click logic of a lot of switches also got messed up and only got fixed recently)

What I am afraid is the same thing also happens to the BS3. Especially after they announced that the Chinook is on the way to DCS,so the Heli team of ED needs to take care of the Apache,the Mi-24,the BS3,the Chinook,and the muti-crew of Mi8,and fixes for long standing bugs on the Mi8 and Huey.

The Apache just recieved the MTT feature recently,and it works the same way as the Ka50. Only object lock,no contrast lock,and can't lock on objects like tress.

If they could just adjust the magic object lock system range more reasonable(not a obvious big object sitting above 20km on a flat open ground and you have no way to lock on it),then make it affect by tress.I would be pretty happy to be honest.

In the Russian area there was a mention that there might be something sometime in the future

Meaningfully and as I interpret it:
That cold K50III are in a kind of standby and thus a normal or precise alignment is already prepared.

Chizh made a FAQ today:

 

Thank you I have already seen,

but one question remains.  You are supposed to wait until the diss has warmed up, but it seems to only happen completely when there is no more pressure on the landing gear, so I have to take off for this process, but as soon as I take off and no matter how slowly, the "error lamp" lights up immediately and I have to wait in hover or slow forward flight until the diss is ready.

Thank you for the info,Hobel. 😀

It's nice to hear that.

I just gave it a try and it seems that the DISS only do the "warm up part" thing when the wheel is on the ground. And only start illuminate radiation when all the 3 wheels are off the ground.

Maybe it's to avoid electromagnetic radiation to the ground crew?  I find a line saying "Do not stand within six feet of transmit antennas when Doppler system is on. High frequency electromagnetic radiation can cause internal burns without causing any sensation of heat." from the TM1-1520 Mi17 manual

Anyway the error in fast alignment is huge(just like using the NAV system on the MI8 and Mi24),and the system will switch to AIR DATA mode anyway when you bank/roll is above 10° .So I think I can accept that small error caused by DISS during takeoff if I'm ever going to use the fast alignement in the first place.

Due to the bugs.  But I remember you said there's only one bug for BS3 and rest of us just don't know how to fly so I'm sure you'll have no problem.

 

Indeed, I have no problems. The BS3 module is in an adequate/good shape right now

so I had asked him again and the DISS also warms up on the ground.

as far as I have observed in my test, this is also largely the case, you only have to take off to complete the procedure.
after I take off the lamp lights quite briefly (5-10seconds) and then the speed indicator appears and the DISS in thus 100% ready I think we can live with it 🙂
