amalahama Posted October 8, 2024 Posted October 8, 2024 Hi, it's quite annoying that both DCS flagships, A-10C and F-18, still has very simple INS implementations, which make GPS-denied scenarios useless. Both lack INS update methods and in the A-10C, not even drift is modelled, and in the case of the Hornet, GPS-denied navigation is very buggy. As BS3 and F-16 were upgraded with very detailed INS systems models, and pretty much any other 3rd parties have excellent INS modeling (special mention to F-14 and M2000C) question is: is ED planning to upgrade A-10C and F-18 INS sooner than later? 6
Nealius Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 (edited) Hopefully after they fix the one in the F-16. With GPS the F-16's INS shouldn't require manual updating, yet it is frequently inaccurate by up to 100m. Pre-planned JDAM strikes are impossible. Pre-planned pops are also unreliable with the PUP point and AO2 aim-off being way off intended target, which does not match real-world accounts of popup techniques described in Vipers in the Storm.
