“New feature. Added F10 Map Coordinates Picker like in Mission Editor. Call it with LALT + Left Mouse click.“
I really really like that. And I could imagine that there are some DTC less f-18 and 16 drivers that like it, too.
ive filed a bug report with deka. the whole ground unit category "missile" does not have a radar footprint, as well as insurgent pickups. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/331767-ag-radar-returns-missing-for-some-units/
Yeah, you just have to be conservative with AB and keep up high.
The values in the sheet are very generous in terms of security margins etc. it’s usually no problem to stretch the loiter time a bit.
First thought „yeah, no, wacky“. Upon watching „Very well made!“

Asking because on helo one is usually a bit closer to the weeds :)
deleting fxo and metashaders2 folder contents might help maybe, in case you didn’t try yet
Hm, i get pretty hard fps drops if i fly low over villages etc. on the marianas map.
I will check this next time i am flying. Are you on fixed wing or helo?
Oh, thats really not great. ED has so many issues with DCS that they really need to invest time in. Maybe F-16 gets a bit of attention in the next updates
It got some fixes,no? And DCS got faster and more stable again. Never had it crash so often until the update before this.
DCS 2.8.7.42583 Open Beta released
Quite a bunch of fixes for the strike eagle!
In Germany there is this net. But you still have to pay alimony.
Unfortunately I don’t have any other module capable of AG Radar. Maybe I hoped that someone would step up :)
AG Radar Returns JF-17
With geeky HRM Maps from the Strike Eagle in mind, i was playing around a bit with the - at least from me- much neglected A/G Radar of the Jeff and did some small test setups.
As it turns out, some Vehicles seem not to have a Radar return.
Attached there are 2 Screenshots - The Setup and the best Picture i could get in DBS 2 - Zoomed in as much as possible.
Whilst 2 Command Centers, BMP3 and T80U give clear radar returns, a DSHK Pickup does not (okay, i can dig that. its small) nor does A Scud Launcher (thats the part i cant understand).
Is it supposed to be that way?
Unfortunately I don’t know. Maybe it’s in their GitHub or discord?

I didn’t expect that. But now I have to wait and see what falcon matter does with their eurofighter HOTAS.
Edit: 530 USD? Nah.
So, one of the planes you really profit from creating own pre-sets for different situations beforehand and saving them. I didnt get it in preorder, but i think i will let a bunch of the upcoming videos make me buy it.
How does HRM affect your PC? I sounded like a big deal, especially as they implemented special options for it
Radar channels are modelled, so if in MP all are close together and on channel A, then they will see interference that looks like jamming on the radar - they need to deconflict channels.
Haha, neat
Really looking forward on how it will be received. I’m thinking about getting it at some point.
Early Access Launch of the DCS: F-15E by RAZBAM
DCS: F-15E Top Tips Radar channels are modelled, so if in MP all are close together and on channel A, then they will see interference that looks like jamming on the radar - they need to deconflict channels. PACS - All none smart weapons have to be manually input into the jet on each in game rearm. Mic switch needs to be set to "on" to communicate with ground crew - default it is off. A/P button on the UFC keypad not only shows the autopilot menu, but also enables autopilot. If they want to just look at the menu, then use the UFC PB9 from the main menu. (This is correct behaviour) LANTIRN pod will prohibit laser use above 25kft - intended behaviour. LANTIRN Pod has only FLIR function, no CCD/TV. There is an option in F-15E special options to set how many processor cores are used for the radar - adjusting this will help with FPS issues. Cold Start - Apply the parking brake before setting INS to ALIGN, otherwise the process may fail. Avoid rearming whilst alignment is in progress. DCS: F-15E by RAZBAM - Known Issues Bombs dropped in AUTO mode can land long of target for wings level release. It is recommended to do a dive bombing for improved accuracy. CBUs can open prematurely, specially if dropped above 1500 ft AGL HUD Repeater in MPCD sometimes not visible MFD exports not yet implemented Volume control for TEWS & TACAN WIP WSO HOTAS commands WIP AA/AG Gun piper aims high. Some items on UFC not synced between front and back cockpit - WIP Cockpit Mirrors not symmetrical Rear cockpit MFD displays cannot be programmed. It is not possible to change the GBUs laser code with the kneeboard. Sometimes PACS does not automatically recognize a weapons load. It must be manually entered. GUARD is not monitored when selected in the Presets and active mode is Manual Frequency Using AG Radar HRM mode can cause a drop in FPS during the image digitalization phase. This depends on the running computer specs. Very Rarely, when using AG Radar, DCS will freeze for a second while checking the terrain. This depends on the running computer specs. It is recommended to use the AG radar with DCS MT. AI wingmen will attack with gun only despite having more relevant ordnance. Dumping fuel will cause fuel totalizer to read 0. DCS World New IA mission for Sinai Map: MiG-15bis, F5E, and Su-25T MT. Shaded 3D models in ME and Encyclopedia ME exits without Save prompt when closing Encyclopedia with a double-click - fixed MP.

Great F-15E TGP footage channel
That’s the channel of “Starbaby”, with great footage out of the mudhen. The interviews of Starbaby on the “10% true” fighter pilot podcast are absolutely worth it. Such a Great Story Teller.

DCS-SRS Release Version 2.0.8.6
Hope you're all enjoying the new Gazelle changes! This update adds support for the Gazelle as well as fixes a number of small annoyances across the board and some small new features too.
This may also fix a long standing bug that I've struggled to replicate for a while where if multiple autoconnect messages were sent in quick succession (usually from spamming a blocked slot or just DCS things) it could cause SRS to disconnect every 10 minutes (pretty much on the dot of 10 minutes). Thanks for all that sent in their logs as that helped to crack it!
Changelog:
Fixed support for Hercules mod radio! Thanks to @gcask Added support for the new Gazelle changes. Well done Polychop! Added Gazelle Transponder / IFF panel now its clickable - again thanks Polychop for making it interactive! Added In Cockpit Volume control for FW190 (both variants) Added In Cockpit Volume control for Viggen for one radio (other radio doesn't have a knob) Fix for possible race condition when multiple autoconnect messages are sent in quick succession (under 1 second). This may fix the annoying bug some experience where you disconnect every 10 minutes from SRS Possible fix for crash when mouse wheel was used on the AWACS panel intercom spinner Fix for Mirage F1 IFF panel showing incorrect values Basic support for the F15E upcoming module. Thanks to RAZBAM for this! Added support for M2000D mod Fix for crash when other non text files matched the name of the radio (thanks for the report on this!)
