G21pilot Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Can't attached track file because of size. 1-1 on code 1711 1-2 on code 1712. Simultaneous drops with buddy lase from 1-1 and self lase on 1-2. Both bombs tracked on 1711 laser code. Second drop only 1-1 lasing and neither guided. Laser on with good symbology. Neither bomb guided. 1-2 seeing 1-1's laser in LST Cheers
Ivandrov Posted October 31 Posted October 31 (edited) Hard to tell just based on the screenshots and the description given is a bit confusing due to ambiguity. Saying that 1-2 was self lasing on 1711 when his code is 1712? Edited October 31 by Ivandrov
ED Team Solution BIGNEWY Posted October 31 ED Team Solution Posted October 31 Hi please include a track replay, also a reminder laser codes can only be changed while on the ground, you need to ensure the laser code on the bomb matches. thank you 1 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

G21pilot Posted November 1 Author Posted November 1 Hi, per the original post the track file was too large to upload because of site restrictions. Yes, after looking it up it was procedures error. It's odd that you can change the codes in the UFC in flight even though it does nothing... Cheers

Yes, after looking it up it was procedures error. It's odd that you can change the codes in the UFC in flight even though it does nothing... For point 1: if you go to your profile on the forum, you can delete previous uploads which may get you enough space to upload a track file (you have a limited uploads storage) in future For point 2: it actually makes sense that you can change the codes in the UFC "even though it does nothing". It let's you change them so if you were say buddy lasing, you don't get the "CODE" error on your HUD (seen in one of the pics above) from having a mismatch between your targeting pod and the bomb's you have on. Or it would allow you to correct (for the same reason) if your bomb codes got changed and didn't automatically update in the plane. Originally you could change the codes in plane and that effected the bomb. That was incorrect to IRL as you would need to physically change the code on the bomb with, for example, a screwdriver, which you obviously couldn't do IRL flying through the air. It got updated in game. And the current behaviour of being able to change it in the stores page is apparently correct to IRL too.
G21pilot Posted November 1 Author Posted November 1 (edited) Yeah that makes sense. Edited November 1 by G21pilot

Would the "CODE" error prevent you from lasing the target or is it just an advisory without consequences? Note to ED. It would be nice to have Ai flying in close formation and dropping GBUs on command so we could buddy lase them and use Ai as bomb trucks. Edited Wednesday at 05:25 AM by Kah0tika 1
Muchocracker Posted November 10 Posted November 10 (edited) It is only an advisory that the TGP and the weapon don't match in laser code. Under normal condititions when you load bombs the SMS page numbers get put in for you when the jet gets rearmed. You just have to then match the TGP LTD/R to the weapon you're selecting.

MAXsenna Posted Tuesday at 09:49 PM Posted Tuesday at 09:49 PM Hi, per the original post the track file was too large to upload because of site restrictions. Deleting tracks from your profile as already recommended, is a great idea, but that won't help you when the file size is too large, (MP tracks in general), no matter how much space you still have on your account. Personally I think it is better to put them on another file service in the first place. Google/Onedrive are free if you're only using them for that.Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
Kah0tika Posted Wednesday at 05:22 AM Posted Wednesday at 05:22 AM Would be indeed nice to be able to edit track in order to just select the relevant part.

Kah0tika Posted Wednesday at 08:36 AM Posted Wednesday at 08:36 AM Trust me. Nothings impossible. There might be limitations. Noting a good coder couldn't work around.

Sure it's "not impossible" but with the current way that trackfiles work it is, which means you'd need to remake the trackfile system. ED has indicated they'd like to do that but don't have dev's available to do it currently (maybe work going on in the background?). Just changing the system to kinda make it do what you want is probably almost as much work as just redoing the whole system. So technically you're right, it's not impossible, but in reality it currently is. 1
Kah0tika Posted Wednesday at 06:15 PM Posted Wednesday at 06:15 PM It always comes down to resources vs returns.
MAXsenna Posted Wednesday at 11:26 PM Posted Wednesday at 11:26 PM Trust me. Nothings impossible. There might be limitations. Noting a good coder couldn't work around.Of course the sky's the limit, but if you search the forums for how the tracks actually work, (they record user input only, not what's happening in the world), and what the initial purpose of the tracks are, (for their internal testing), you will understand that these are not recordings. And a recorder, (pun intended for those that get it ), are actually what us users want. I'm positive we will see a record/replay system that has all the bells and whistles down the line.Cheers!

Trackfiles are basically a record of your inputs. When you play a trackfile a new DCS Session with the mission you have played beginns and the records starts repeating all inputs you made while flying the actual mission. As soon as you cutoff anything at the beginning, your replay aircraft doesn´t even start. So the situation you want to review just never happens. So with the replay system we have now, this is truly impossible. You could only think about adding a feature cut whats after the desired situation. This replay system has a lot of shortcommings but it has also the advantage, that you can track every input and therefore recreate the exact situation what makes it easy to identifiy user errors, or to find a bug. I would love to see another system, maybe as a second one. Because for other implications the system is a problem up to the point were it becomnes useless. When you want to replay a mission in a Tomcat or F4 to make some nice screenshots or a video the replay system gets stuck in the jester wheel, for example. 1

While it records all the inputs, I've noticed that the mouse pointer is not aligned with the clicked buttons. Do you know if this is a limitation or a bug on my side? I noticed this while sharing track files to explain/demonstrate how a system works. But I realised that the user I was trying to help couldn't follow what I was doing because of that, so I had to record videos instead. Edited Friday at 09:34 AM by Kah0tika

Or, as many do. Share the screen through Discord or whatever. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk 1

Any chance you and that other person are having different monitor/DCS resolutions set? 1

I've noticed it while replaying this on my own computer so I don't think it's a display resolution issue unless it internally records at a mismatching resolution. 1
