Pineapple Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 Basically what the title says: FC3 aircraft can't communicate with JTACs to make it lase a ground target. The only alternative is to use a scripted one

I understand that, but it's a semantic disagreement. The JTAC system is in the game, and they are maintaining and updating all modules. So why not add that bit of JTAC code to FC3 planes as well? Whether you call it a bug or an update, it doesn't makes sense that these specific planes can't talk to JTAC.
MAXsenna Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 Come on. You've been around long enough to know the shortcomings of FC3 modules. It's never been implemented so it's not a bug. ED have communicated several times that FC3 development is done. You're free to make a wish of course! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk No where on the store page does it mention that FC3 modules communication menu doesn't work in the same capacity as a non FC3 module. Should the consumer need to read the forums first to know the limitations of an item, or expect that to be displayed at the point of sale? I don't care either way. But, a lot of limitations could be communicated better in my opinion, and would save a lot of people having to even address it over and over. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/dcs_flaming_cliffs_3/

I don't disagree with you in general, but I think it will be near impossible to list all the limitations of FC3 modules compared to full fidelity ones. And you can't really assume they have all the bells and whistles of modules that costs four times or more as much. The store doesn't specifically state that the Yak-52 nor the Mig-15 cannot drop bombs either.Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
PawlaczGMD Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 It's fair that FC3 does not have the full fidelity functionality, but it also seems like all it would take is to copy the JTAC code that already exists. The functionality is already developed, it just needs to be inserted into FC3.

I'd rather have brake axis in the Su-25s that has been requested a long time ago. They are actually missing. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk 2

Clickable cockpit's not being mentioned could be an issue truthfully. But, not having working radios in a game where everyone tells you to disable easy coms so a majority of other things to function within the game correctly is an issue. I'm not going to argue with you, but you know how ridiculous you sound comparing the two in this situation. We both know what your doing.

FC3 defaults to Easy Comms wether you turn it off or not to my knowledge. I have never had any issues with radios in FC3. We're talking about JTAC not beeing implemented in FC3. I do understand why it is requested and wanted though, but I'm not sure it would work even if it was added to the radio menu. To check, you can try with VAICOM if you have VoiceAttack.
