I think setting some expectations ahead of the patch would have been helpful.

Maybe when BigNewy updates the Patch Status thread he can indicate if it is a major patch, or minor patch, or module release, or hot fix, etc.

I think those expectations should have been set when wags said it would be coming in the 'may/june update'.

Until zoom is released, it is possible to use the map on your right MFD to zoom in on targets to help get a better idea of the battlefield.

Select pan on the right MFD (TSD) and use the cursor controller on your collective to move the map to centre on the targets, then zoom in. 

The targeting overlay remains live as long as your FCR is active and will display active and secondary targets as you cycle through the list of targets. 

 

 

HP G2 Reverb (Needs upgrading), Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate. set to OpenXR, but Open XR tool kit disabled.

DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), DLSS setting is quality at 1.0. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC... Everything needs upgrading in this system!.

Vaicom user and what a superb freebie it is! Virpil Mongoose T50M3 base & Mongoose CM2 Grip (not set for dead stick), Virpil TCS collective with counterbalance kit (woof woof). Virpil Apache Grip (OMG). MFG pedals with damper upgrade. Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound... goodbye VRS.

I guess this was an out-of-cycle patch just to get Kola launched.  Maybe the next big patch is in 2 weeks (no joke intended) which would be 6 weeks from the last patch in April. 🤷‍♂️

 

The last regular Patch was April 10th. Though there were 2 small hotfix patches shortly after that. I expect the next regular Patch from May 22th until end of May.

Yeah, I normally sight select FCR and then take the same MPD back to the TSD page and use it entirely from there. I find it much more useful to interact with the FCR than the actual FCR page.

Yes, opening service doors for engines and efabs👍👍👍👍 Great.

But there‘s also LINK feature. Wags said video about it coming next week.

This makes the FCR so much more useful! Iooks like it's gonna be fun.

Skin question:

Are the new service panels gonna change anything about existing skins? I mean if the creators need to update the .lua or the skin itself.

LINK couples the FCR with Tads. Means Tads will be pointed automatically to your actual next to shot detected target by FCR.

It also works the other way around. If you select TADS first as sight and then link, the radar will turn towards the TADS. This might also be useful, because you can't slave the radar to the tads otherwise. this is because to slave the radar, the radar needs to be the sight. but if the radar is the active sight, you can't move the tads to slave the radar to it.

So LINK is helpful to:

  1. Visually identify an FCR contact (FCR as sight, then LINK)
  2. Scan an area that you point your TADS to from the front seat (TADS as sight, then LINK)

I imagine radar controls (Scan burst) are available when LINK is active in either mode.

makes sense also working the other way as well. If CPG has found a target linking to FCR might help doing fast scanning this area if other threats are nearby not yet found via Tads. Could help getting a quick battlefield thread image.

I guess first fast scanning with FCR then check via Tads for visual confirmation would be more a standard procedure.

Anyway the system seems very flexible in both ways which might have been a key factor for LINK feature…..🤷🏻‍♂️

So does anyone know how to delete the C-Scope little X's? after 1 sortie things get very messy....

IIRC someone asked the same question some time back and the answer was no. Someone could correct me if I am wrong. Have a look here too.

But to 'skip' the X's, I use Link and have the FCR MPD cursor on the NTS text (top left of MPD). I cycle through the targets with Cursor Enter and see them in the center TADS video. I just skip over those that are destroyed and shoot at the fresh ones.
