Thank you very much! I do hope that you will announce clearly when the different systems are finalized. It is hard enough to learn, but it is even harder to re-learn a different way of doing things.
@@randallmacdonald4851 I know and agree. But I foresee that it should be possible to say " feature XX is now finalized" - and that is the only ting I ask for.
It's crazy how much work you guys have put in. I don't run the beta, and waiting for the stable release was agonizing.. But the update is STELLAR and so huge. Being in the software business myself, seeing how much new stuff is already in the pipeline is crazy. Good job ED, looking forward to all these amazing new toys.
That is actually really handy. The amount of times I've lost targets in the A10C because I manuevered when the TGP was in snow plow mode for a split second is more then I can count. Good to see the Hornet has this small quality of life improvement.
Thanks, Matt. I stumbled on this before seeing this video and was confused how it was different depending on which mode you are in when you enable the offset crosshair. Now I see it is intentional!
Please, could you increase the size of the interface in the next videos? The key mapping on a 27 "monitor is full screen and is almost invisible. Thanks.
I see the Hornet systems becoming a complex beast to manage as more features comes online. I am looking at the features planned for out of early access version and beyond, lots of systems would have to be relearned. Looking forward to the challenge. 👍Ed
this reminds me of when we used to drop LGB in Falcon 4.0 with ca 5 sec intervals and change targets inbetween. as the targets are close together and the timing let the bombs travel the distance you can drop two or more LGB and engage several targets as long as you have all targets in sight and wont lose them from TGP view. Really excited to try this out
Arggg I am confused with new TGP controls. So from this video I get: if you are point track->depress and offset->depress again to set offset->Sensor control switch right changes target designate to offset point. BUT IF HOWEVER you do the same in area track, sensor control switch right returns you to current/original target point? This is crazyness
Thanks for the video! I think it'd be better if you made the UI Scale a little larger, its a bit difficult to see on my monitor and I imagine those that watch this on their phones while commuting or something will have a hard time seeing the UI elements.
Useful but there is no talk about designating multiple targets for the JDAM. These TPOD changes appear to have "broken" the process and there are no ED explanation of the new procedure.
Am I understanding this correctly? The TGP can normally only be slewed in a non track mode (snowplow or waypoint designate). TDC depress then puts it in a track mode (allowing weapon employment) but prevents any more normal slewing. To change the aimpoint/trackpoint whist still in a track mode, an offset is used. However the TGP camera will only centre on the offset in point track and not area track. Sorry for asking but I find it difficult to follow instruction when I don't understand the internal logic behind it.
You don't, just place your reticle above the target and SCS right until your reticle is replaced by two vertical bars. Contrast helps the sensor get a good lock so use the FLIR mode as opposed to CCD and adjust the level and gain if you have to.
@@Qhaway it has become a hell more difficult to deal with moving targets now... you have to anticipate the trajectory a lot more, put the reticle far ahead of the target then press twice right for it to go track mode. it's definitely not as enjoyable as it was before. For laugh and giggles I tried for 10 min to track a C-130 going in circle in AG mode, just to try to land a GBU-12 on it for fun, too difficult now. I didn"t find a way to keep the AA tracking mode sticking to it when switching to AG.
Thanks wags. Interestingly enough, I found this out by trial and error. I thought it was a bug because you hadn't mentioned it in your last video. Do you know if the hornet URL, has the ability to designate a ground location as a waypoint using the TPOD or the A2G radar? And, if so, does your team plan on implementing that in the figure for our Hornet? It would be invaluable for many reasons. One thing I was trying to do is set up multiple angles for harpoon to reach a convoy so they don't all go after the same target. The way it is now, you can't do multiple harpoon turn points without first having set up multiple waypoints. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Still confused about the offset in area track mode. You mention it helps to bring your eyes to the offset target or setup a lgb attack, but the pod doesn't slew to the offset location in area track mode. If the pod doesn't slew to the offset location, it can't be used for either of those things cause you're still pointing the pod at the original target. So then what's the purpose?
I cant slew the flir when I am in atrk and ptrk. Only in designate. I want to assign 8 targest to 8 AGM154C. The cordinates dont change in too1 and too2. What am I doing wrong?
Apologies if it's mentioned in the other video and I just missed it, but I've noticed with the latest update that the LTD/R switch will frequently kick back to the off position, and then I'll have to re-enable it and re-select the TRIGGER MFD button to enable the laser again. I was just curious what the parameters are that cause it to kick back to the off position, since I seem to be missing something obvious. I assume it's for the laser overheating, but I thought it might also be corresponding to when the laser would be hitting the fuselage?
We look forward to it once the Maverick for the Viper is in a more complete state. Our new engineer is working hard on this and we are sorry that it has happen longer than initially projected. Thanks
Hopefully we will be able to pilot one of those C-130 or other big guys in DCS in the future. I would love to see some different gameplay such as transporting, refueling and reconnaissance. Anyways, keep up the good work Matt
i know this is an F-18 video but pretty sure the F-16 is broken, everytime i try to boot up the F-16 DCS crashes never had the problem and tried uninstalling and re-installing the module, anyone know how to fix it? or am i out of luck until a patch?
For text etc look under controls, graphics, UI scaling. For focusing on elements in the cockpit, search for the zoom control in the control binding interface. If you fly in vr, you'll find the zoom in the controls binding; click the drop down menu where you can select different planes in the top left corner, scroll all the way to the bottom to something like 'ui'; relevant are vr zoom and spyglass zoom. Also you can make the cockpit look bigger with options, vr, force IPD, and choosing a setting that is 5 to 10 points Lower then your actual IPD (too high differences can induce vertigo).
I was able to slew the tgp again after cycling through the track modes (scs right x3) So I havn't had any issues with missing slew control at all. Is this a bug?
Hey Wags.. is there some known issue with the waypoint diamond appearing in the air at the waypoint altitude rather than ground level/the TGP slewing to the waypoint altitude when you designate a waypoint as target?
@@MixedRealitySimRacing - I want to say at one point it didn't? but I may be mistaken. I've also noticed what constitutes 'ground level' in the mission editor seems different for different aircraft somehow..
@@stargazer79 That'l depend on the barometric pressure setting on your aircraft. The Hornet has always pointed it's pod at the altitude of a waypoint, gotta set it to ground level prior or manually in flight.
Thanks I shot one yesterday and it seemed kinda short legs but I lobbed it at a 90 mile away target and I was at 10k angels but I didn’t really test it much. Thanks for the reply
Shadow no not at all merely thought it would be a good look at the range as 90 miles would be impossible at that altitude sorry I didn’t clarify I was just curious the range.

When tdc is depressed and the little crosshair is pointing at something else where is the laser pointing?
good question
The pod only has one gimbal, with all sensors and emitters mounted within. Where the camera looks, the laser looks.
ok mates, my initial thought was: WTF?!? Who is with me??
Seems like there is work to do for Redkite and Spud!
So if you use the offset will the laser be still the point it's locked on or where the offset is

Everything right, with the exception that an offset track can be either area or point track.
How do you point track a moving target if you now have to designate it and then switch to point track while the vehicle drives away?
You don't, just place your reticle above the target and SCS right until your reticle is replaced by two vertical bars. Contrast helps the sensor get a good lock so use the FLIR mode as opposed to CCD and adjust the level and gain if you have to.

Hey Wags.. is there some known issue with the waypoint diamond appearing in the air at the waypoint altitude rather than ground level/the TGP slewing to the waypoint altitude when you designate a waypoint as target?
