  1. I see. So when waiting until the missile go active and then turn gives a better chance of hitting I would assume? While turning immediately can make for a lucky shot.
  2. Hello, When I fire a AIM-120C the HUD will show a Axx counting down until the missile go active on the target. So what I try to do is at least keep the radar looking at the target until the A changes to a T. Now sometimes I need to turn away early, lets say at A19. To me that should say that the missile have not gone active and will be a miss. Still I see that many times I do hit anyway. So what happens? Whit still 19 seconds left until the missile is active I no longer guide the missile but it hits nevertheless. I was hoping you could explain to me what happens and how early I can turn away and still hit the target.
  3. Ah, so this has been reported a long time ago. No immediate fix to be expected then I assume...
  4. As far as I understand the POS EOM mode will also do this. This was the mode I was in during this attack. I see. Then my understanding was wrong and I had a little more faith in the weapon than what I should have had. Nice to know and this answers my question Thank you for reporting the Roland needing two HARMs to be destroyd. Absolutely. 203 was entered for the Hawk Tracking Radar in this specific mission.
  5. Thank you for the reply Hobel, Yes, please find a relevant track file attached. We were two F16 who did two strikes on a SAM site at Fujairah airport. The steerpoint for us both is exactly the same and is set just south of the airport near the SAM site. On the first run the flight lead hit a Roland twice and destroyed it. I hit a Roland once but did not destroy it. Another HARM destroy a Hawk TR. One of my AGM88s really wears off. I've never seen that before though. On the 2nd run (20 minutes later) I assume all radars are off (we did not know that at the time), but you can see that even though, again, we fire at the same steerpoint all HARMS rain down over the airport at random. I would expect them all to hit basically the same spot? There is a Tacview recording of this as well here (My callsign is Hoggorm): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZasUpwRX5Ak399ACjjWV46texEyOkNk4/view?usp=sharing The first run is about to hit Fujairah at 0728. The next run is about 20 minutes later at 0749. HARM strike Fujairah.trk
  6. Hello, I try to attack a Hawk SAM site in POS EOM mode. I've added the exact coordinates for the Tracking Radar part as a steerpoint and launches when within range. I assume the SAM site turns off its radar from time to time. Anyway, I see that often the missile does not hit anywhere near the steerpoint at all (often it does hit, but then I assume the radar is on?) It can overfly the steerpoint with several thousands of feet. Is this normal? I would expect the missile to hit the radar even if the radar was off if it was located at the steerpoint? Or am I assuming too much?
  7. Would it be possible to add a feature where I can be in the TACTICAL CMDR or JTAC/Operator position, add coordinates there and save to a file that can be sent to friends that execute the attack?
  8. Hello, I was wondering if there are some relatively easy missions, or even a full campaign, that work well to be played with a friend as RIO? Even better if they are designed specific to be played with a RIO! I`m interested in both payware and freeware.
  9. Is this add-on considered cheating in multiplayer servers that monitor integrity, such as Operation Blue Flag?
  10. Hello, I've not used DCS for nearly two weeks and there has been two or three updates since. Two weeks ago I was able to get the green GPU bound message in the FPS counter nearly all the time, now I do not see it anymore. It is basically just alternating between red and yellow CPU bound. What can be wrong?
  11. Thank you Hempstead. It sounds a bit risky, but I guess I have little choice...
  12. Thank you Hempstead, I might have not been clear enough, but all but the up direction works. Up is the only direction that is not responding. Do you know if there are any instructions available on how to open the throttle up so that I can take a look? If the Coolie switch is available as a replacement part that is super I'll contact Thrustmaster then I guess.
