F-15C Landing Issues remain.

 

Guess i start digging into SFM Changes between 1.2.2 and 1.2.3+

A-10A weapons release mode (pairs, single), ripple quantity and ripple interval don't work for me either. Tried using both the default keyboard commands and my joystick switches.

Really!? Doh!

the HUD is magnified large can not see it properly.

 

Mastiff I think in your case that is wind effect. Since the HUD scales are referenced to the Velocity Vector they will move with it. In your examples it looks like there is a wind from the left so the aircrafts flight path (Velocity vector) will be to the right of the aircraft's nose so the HUD symbolgy that is "attached" to the Velocity vector will drift down wind. This is a real world phenomenon. In aircraft like the F18 you could actually cage the HUD to being the the symbolgy back to centre. In thee cases a Ghost velocity was displayed to give you a phantom Flight path pitch reference.

 

In your example if you turned left I think you will find that once you are pointing directly into the wind the symbolgy would be centered.

 

Also try Air to Air mode ... pretty sure in AA mode symbolgy is always HUD centred.

Significant FPS drop in 1.2.4 with the new pits. Seems like I used to be able to fly around in my Su-27 with 40-70 fps no problems. Now with the new cockpit and 1.2.4 I'm down to 18-35. What gives? I know the new cockpits are more detailed and what not but that big of a hit? The biggest hit comes when i turn on cockpit lights, I can be down in the 18-20 range. Here are others like me:

I have 1/2 the FPS in Su-27 compared to F-15C also and I've reported this FPS issue already in ED bug tracker system

Cool man. No worries! I know ya'll were busy getting 1.2.4 out the door and this bug (IMO) will get sorted, but is less important than say... all the other neat things that came out this week.

 

Thanks for the response and all your hard work! :thumbup:

Not sure if the slip-skid ball actually works in A-10A, but I've noticed that when you start in the A-10A, the left rudder is at full deflection. This would cause your hud to skew like in your screenshots due to skid. However, I don't think this is actually it in your case because that ball is centered up beneath the ADI.

 

Seems more like you just need to center up your view, pressing "5" on the numeric keypad. Sorry if you've already tried all that and this is a little "academic" for ya!

 

However, I am unable to get the heading tape to show... like I said before in response to your original post on the A-10A HUD symbology, the bump on top of the dash obscures the middle of the horizontal heading tape.

My A-10A doesnt start full left or right rudder.

Uh oh... okay... my problem.... and now that you mention it. I think I just might know why.

 

Thanks @SkateZilla

Loose nut at the controls?? :D

Multiplayer: MiG-29S TWS2 manual tracking one target but not locking/giving launch authorization automatically (R-77). Tested at medium/high altitude, at only one bandit.

 

No problems with Single player: track>lock>launch authorization on two targets.

[arteedecco]

Loose nut at the controls?? :D

HA! :joystick: LOL! That's a chronic problem, but not the cause of the problem in this case.

 

I actually haven't the foggiest why it happens after all. :doh:

 

Thought maybe I had my rudder axis mapped to my ancient X52 which is actually pretty much broken, but I won't give up on it cause I'm a cheap :music_whistling: but whatever.

 

So long as it's not happening to anyone else then I'm just a moron... now I just have to figure out why. :helpsmilie:

I'm glad to hear that Dusty but I guess summer holiday can start early this year then. Off to the motorcycle...... :D

It seems, that Missile Hits do no real Damage to some Planes, for example the su-33, su 30 and the f-16a. I needed four hits to destroy a su-30, and there was no visible damage on the plane. It just started burning and crashed onto the ground.

All the planes with newer 3d models work just fine.

Anybody else having this issue?

 

Edit:

Same for the Gun, does not do any Damage to those Planes.

I tried to fly the su-33 myself and was able to survive 2 direct aim 120 hits without getting any damage.

Same with Mig-29, plane gets damaged but no damage is displayed

This is what i found on MP mode with the mig29s

 

Missiles only do damage if hit on the side or engines

TWS2 will not indicate lunch authorisation

TWS2 Locks up friendly aircraft

Fragile landing gear

After repair rudder control is nill

RWR when switched on and goes into search mode, the SAS Left YAW toggle switch, toggles on and off.

I can not hear the Speed break (Air Environment) sounds across the deployed ailerons.. :joystick:

for weapons release outside weapons view, F6 doesn't seem to work all the time, intermittent.. :joystick:

If this is already reported, disregard.

 

I thought this was a MP mission bug, but it is present in SP aswell.

 

The presence of a Predator Drone causes a "U" Airborne Nail in the F-15C TEWS display and similar for the Su-27 SPO-15 (A2A nails full strength).

 

Track included.

[RIPTIDE]

I do not know 'if this is a known bug, but if in a mission you place a Predator also its coalition, it becomes the primary threat on the RWR of all Russian aircraft, with high signal intensity ... On F15 instead appears as U, which I think is going to Unknow ...

OK. I just saw this now... anyways I've included a track above.

[Esac_mirmidon]

On board Su-25 no warning sound from Nadia when fuel is below 1.500 Kg, 1.000 Kg and 500 Kg.

 

Also Zsu-23/2 on trucks makes RWR lit and emiting tone sound like a radar SAM target. ( i think this Zsu trucks don´t have any radar at all ).
