w.i.p F-16C SMS CNTL Page AIR Option not working

[BammBamm]

Greetings,

In training mission for the F-16C "Lesson 24 - JDAM Employment" at the very beginning of the mission when he says to switch to the CNTL page on the SMS and then select the OSB that has AIR next to it and change it to Ground mode, the button does nothing, it doesn't change.  Is anyone else experiencing this issue?  I went to WAGS Youtube videos and it's working great in all his JDAM videos on his SMS page, so I don't know if it's isolated to me or if nobody has noticed this isn't working anymore.

Thanks everyone,

Apparently the new fuze options have been pseudo-implemented in a half baked state and so we have lost features which we previously had, as a result.

I noticed that too a couple hours ago, dropped the JDAM anyway (on an SA-8 Gecko) and it worked as usual. I guess this is either not implemented yet, or just half-baked.

I'm glad I'm not crazy.  Please see the video for proof it existed before.  At 5:15 he cycles through the features.

Thank you,

please wait for the fuze options in the rearm menu to be completed. 

thanks

we wait... we wait since "Posted June 12, 2021"

Just curious. In my Steam open beta version, I have only 21 lessons of training for F-16C, and "JDAM Employment" is Lesson 18. Why do you have Lesson 24?

BoundaryLayer, you are correct, I mispoke.  Technically, I have 21 as well.  I forgot I copied, renamed and modified a few of them so my numbers are rearranged.  Wasn't thinking, it's actually lesson 18 like in your image.

Sorry about that, doh!

The training missions desperately need to have at the very least a "Up-to-date"/"Working as intended" or "Out-of-date"/"Not working" mark beside them. I, and I would assume many others, don't have the time to sink into trying to learn systems on broken training missions. 

The harrier missions are completely out of date whilst also requiring large time investments given how verbose they are, many other modules run the gamut of having mostly working to hardly working training missions, and the consistency of how much of the material is covered is maddening too, with some modules having very few updates to their training missions as new features are added.

As things stand you never know if you're the problem or the mission is the problem and the amount of negative training is really a road block to investing time in a module.

Is this going ANYwhere? Come on you sell product at full price, no training missions working, not including any campaings etc. I would assume that a problem this big could have been repaired in two years? Yes no maby? (answer is no, i just tried to do the tutorials as bought f16 yesterday. Pretty much all of the A/G training missions is undoable, for what ever reason, mostly just for wpns settings does not work more or less.  Come on thos triggers are IMPORTANT stuff. Just for interest - How do they differ in other planes? Is the weapon somehow different when it drops from f/a-18 (in dcs code), or is it just f-16 button what doesnt work? I think its fair to ask this while topic is even now couple of years old, and have payed 80 bucks for it. And PLZ update those tutorials for your own good. I bet somebody trialing the f16 "should i buy this", is not very happy when trying to do stuff in trainings and more or less every wpn training is a bummer. Some of em even have problems with triggers. I bet that is not good merchandising... Thanks still for great flight model. F-16 is clearly my favourite plane what comes to flying, and a/a stuff seems to be working more or less well. BUT.

@Wiggo Don't forget that these modules are still in Early Access -

While I agree with you that things like these should be fixed sooner than later, but DCS is not a regular game, sometimes they want to find proper info before implementing something and that may take time, plus they don't want to use resources to do something then redo it later when they get the info.

So wait till EA is finished.
