#02 - DEV UPDATE 15/04/2014

I'm interested in exactly how GCI will work as well, is it a matter of following some headings and altitudes over the radio or is there some ILS style bars on the ADI or what?

 

GCI is just a EW radar system providing headings and altitudes over radio.

It already exists in DCSW (and creating a template for all countries is covered in our manual).

 

Our MiG-21 is not equipped with LAZUR.

Ah I see.

 

I didn't know that DCSW could already do that, that's cool.

"GCI implementation" was inaccurate statement.

 

There is nothing to implement. When it comes to avionics, LAZUR ("the gauge") is not part of current cockpit (it conflicts with RSBN/PRMG), but this will not prevent players from CGI support, regardless of the coalition/country they select.

 

Player can create any custom unit/group as a template in the Mission editor, and use it for any coalition/country. For example, player can create EW radar unit comprised of RUS EW radar and other ground units. This group/unit can be used from templates list in any mission, as a group/unit assigned to any side/country.

 

This process is well described in DCS User manual, in "Create unit template" chapter, page 210.

 

Because of this confusion, GCI creation process is described and illustrated in 21 Manual. We can only see if we can ship a template with the 21 installation. I'm not sure about this however, since it will conflict with local files, so no promises.

 

Ok, this is good to know. But what is the RSBN/PRMG? I haven't heard of it before.

I thought that GCI was indeed a operator talking you in the right direction towards the enemy while you were hugging the ground.

Untill someone posted a pic of the LAZUR I thought there was some sort of datalink controlling needles in a gauge guiding you towards a target.

Well this takes care of the confusion.

Thanks for your reply and keep up the good work :thumbup:

update: it will be released when 1.2.8 is out of beta and into GAMMA...

 

by which time we should be in our NEST suits and having strange tuberculates hanging off our hides... and the metal/plastic on our controllers should be FUBAR..

 

*facepalm*

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
