If only it were that simple.

In most cases it's not possible to fully emulate a weapon system in DCS, there are always restriction. But I try my best. In this case, for comparison, the ATACMS travel at around Mach 3 with an apogee altitude of 50-60 km. The DF-21D travels at around Mach 8-15 with an apogee estimated at 400 km. Since they have very different characteristics I want that to show, but as a last resort I might have to implement a stopgap solution like you mention.

I would really like to be able to make ballistic trajectories in DCS, but it doesn't seem to be a way to auto-calculate them. The SCUD is pre-programmed with a table of data with coordinates, altitude etc for its trajectory.

By the way, is it possible to use the scud config? No changes, just to create exactly the same weapon for the new 3D model. As far as I know, the config is now closed, my question is it possible to take the config from previous versions or from the Lua datamine, will it work?

There are no issues making a copy of the SCUD. And just like the core SCUD it won’t hit a carrier placed in the middle of a field.

The secret sauce lies in the pre-programmed table I mentioned. Not until we have decoded it may we have a true ballistic missile.

Don't suppose you've made a FAB-500 glide bomb by any chance ?

Nope, I have probably spent more than 100 hours trying to get the current assets working again since the May 22th update.

I'd rather be developing new stuff to be honest.

No, the intention of the update is to fix the missile related issues.

Today I crossed a VBCI, I think, loaded on a truck in Colmar (France) with a livery like this

Nope. Conducted the overwrite last night and all missiles worked perfectly. Thanks @currenthill and all who tested

Status update

Weapon issues with DCS 2.9.5.55300
As you remember, there are currently two issues at hand.

Issue #1 -  Affecting all SAMs using TVC - making them go haywire and flying everywhere

All affected missiles in all the affected country packs have been fixed. Tests are finished and everything seem to work as intended. 

Issue #2 - Affecting all missiles using the old DCS missile parameter set - making them fall short of the intended target

As I mentioned before, this issue is a bit more tricky as it can't be reproduced with DCS core units (as ED has migrated all their weapons to newer parameter sets), and therefore we can't submit a proper error report to ED. I'm working weapon for weapon to see what I can come up with.

I've been working on a solution for the guided artillery shells which seem to work, we're about to start testing. No solutions for the other assets yet.

Here's the preliminary list of assets affected by issue #2:

• HIMARS ATACMS
• HIMARS PrSM
• HIMARS PrSM antiship
• HIMARS GLSDB
• HIMARS GMLRS
• M270 GLSDB
• M270 GMLRS
• M270 ATACMS
• M777 Excalibur
• B-21 AGM-88G
• DF-21D
• PCL-181 GP155
• Type 055 YJ-21
• Iskander 9M723
• Grigorovich Frigate RBU-6000
• Artillerisystem 08 Excalibur
• PzH 2000 Excalibur

Issue #3 - Affecting ATGMs

Work has begun to find solutions for these, I've tested a lot of different solutions, but DCS doesn't seem to work as before and everything I try is inconsistent. For example, I can get a missile to guide perfectly to a target two times in a row, but the next missile just go haywire and doesn't track at all. These kind of issues are very hard to pinpoint.

Here's the preliminary list of assets affected by issue #3:

• AFT-10 HJ-10
• CV9050 Spike LR2
• RBS 58
• FGM-148

On top of that, I've been out of action for a couple days, caught some bug. But I intend to return to troubleshooting by tomorrow.

 

Hey CH,

I just realized that S-350 missiles are also broken and was wondering if it's something you're aware of/on your todo list. Don't want to nag you, I'm just trying to get some info. I tried reading up on your recent posts and didn't see it specifically mentioned anywhere. I hoped the latest Russia pack was going to fix it, but with the 1.1.0->1.1.1 patch files anyways, it still persists after testing.

Thank you!

[Oban]

Add the Ukrainian Mig29 Jdam to that list too

嘿 CH，

我刚刚意识到 S-350 导弹也坏了，想知道你是否知道/在你的待办事项清单上。我不想唠叨你，我只是想获取一些信息。我试着阅读你最近的帖子，但没有看到任何地方特别提到它。我希望最新的俄罗斯包能修复它，但无论如何，使用 1.1.0->1.1.1 补丁文件，测试后它仍然存在。

谢谢！

update later than 06/05 is ok

[Springfield-902]

thx ed team now iron dome missile can breakdance !

[Clumpy]

Thanks for the Missile fixes on the uk pack, one thing I did notice in my testing last night was that the main gun on the Type26 seems to have a 360 degree firing arc now. Is that a known limitation or have ED changed something else?

 

[currenthill]

It doesn't really seem to matter how many status updates I write.

Scroll back in the thread and look for the headline "Status update", where I describe what's going on.

It's got nothing to do with ED. It's just an incorrect setting of the train. I always start out my configurations by setting the hardware limitations. In this case the Mark 45 can actually rotate +170/-170 degrees. I then set hard limits to protect the ship. In this case I had forgot to set the hard limits. It'll be fixed in the next update.
