Igor4U Posted Thursday at 08:13 PM Posted Thursday at 08:13 PM A Couple Days ago I decided to Practice some F-4E Landings where Jester wouldn't complain of Needing Back Surgery after Touchdown. Was Nevada Map - Instant Action Mission - Landing 21L at Nellis. Jester's 1,000 ft and 500 ft Altitude Calls were both 300 Feet Off - When I was on Short Final at 200 ft AGL, Jester would be calling Out 500 feet; and at 700 ft AGL on Final - Jester would be calling 1,000ft. Happened consistently over the course of half a dozen Approach and Landings. Altimeter Setting and Field Elevation Verified Correct. Bug ? About me Landings: What was working well for Non-Traditional Smooth F-4 Landings (Rather than the Standard "Take That Runway" Touchdowns), I was staying fast on Final at 165 KIAS, and Rounding Out to Stabilize just above the Runway in the Flare before Slowly Reducing Throttle. Carrying Power all the Way into the Flare before reducing - Jester Seemed Happy with those Touchdowns. If I Pulled Power Crossing the Threshold - The Phantom would sink like a Rock even with those few extra Knots to Play With.

Me Approach to Nellis 21L was a Straight In - Terrain is Fairly Flat on a 5 Mile Visual Straight-In. So, Terrain Elevation not a Factor in Jester's 'Off' Altitude Calls. I'll try to Duplicate Today - Let you know if it happens again.

Zabuzard Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago Not sure what your (asking) Track ? Ground Track Maybe. Me Approach to Nellis 21L was a Straight In - Terrain is Fairly Flat on a 5 Mile Visual Straight-In. So, Terrain Elevation not a Factor in Jester's 'Off' Altitude Calls. I'll try to Duplicate Today - Let you know if it happens again.They are saying it would be helpful if you can provide a short (working) track file that replicates the issue when replayed in DCS.When you end a singleplayer mission, the debriefing window has a button for that, something like "Save Track" and the main menu has a "Replay" option.
Igor4U Posted 8 hours ago Author Posted 8 hours ago Just Checking Back Now - TANKs for the Clarification on the DCS Vernacular. I gotta Run (I'll try to submit a Track File Next Time), but I did duplicate the Original Post Results with Jester calling all Altitudes to LATE and too Low (300 ft Low). In Addition - on my last Landing - Jester called 300 ft AGL as I crossed the Threshold (At Nellis 21L). Previously - Jester always had his Sh.t Together - This anomaly just started after the last update or two. I'll get back to you Fellers with a Track File in the Near Future - Thanks for taking the Time to Help with your Replies !
