missing info Su-25 - salvo modes don't work for unguided rockets

Supernova-III · January 3

In Su-25, salvo mode should not only work for bombs, but for unguided rockets as well.

Do you have a source?

I will be short. PŘÍRUČKA PRO OSÁDKU LETOUNU Su-25K: Lety s použitím neřizené raketové výzbroje (NR)

This is not the only source. But I believe ED have their own source(-s). I'm pretty sure.

If they would know the salvo controls also affect rockets, they certainly would have coded it and mentioned it in the Su-25/T manuals.

Not to mention they work with publicly available data. If the source you have in mind is not for public disclosure, they won't be able to use it (see rule 1.16).

maybe they didn't know back then. Bit I don't believe this. Doesn't make any sense

if they don't know exactly from the source, they could guess that this switch works for the rockets as well. It's not uncommon thing. Why they didn't do this? I don't know. I see no good reason for this. But I'm not developer of DCS

I guess, F-35A is not a joke as well

I will not do this. How does this make a difference? Will they implement this if I share a link? (you don't need to answer this)

And with this reasoning we can conclude DCS has never had an oversight in its development history.

Guys, if you do not have a legitimate source to share on this, then that is fine, but harassing a volunteer member of our team is not going to help you get the changes you want. Mentioned above was a manual to a Su-25K, while this might be a reasonable source, it is only usable if there is a legally shareable source of this. If not, it cannot be used. If you have a reasonable reason why this feature should be added, I am happy to ask the team. If you want to just be sassy or make sassy comments, I will close this thread.

If you have a link to a manual, and you are unsure if its legal to share, send me a DM and I can have a look.

Let me know what you want to do, thanks.
