Have had my Aero since early Jan 2022. Absolutely love it. I upgraded from the HP Reverb G2 (most recently), and it was a massive upgrade!

You can set up different search settings in A-A and Missile Override, so there’s reasons to use both. If multirole is a consideration then mostly Missile Override.

WinWing doesn't compare quality wise with RealSimulator. I've owned multiple RS and WW products over the last 3 years, and in terms of customer service, build quality, and software quality, RS is far ahead. The WW products are often lacking refinement or are just flat out inaccurately modeled. There are design flaws in their products that cannot be ignored for how much they cost. Sure, they are cheaper, and sure, you could get two of them. But that doesn't mean they match up.

What about the laser codes that physically cannot be changed in the air?

TOO uses the HARM as a sensor. So does HAS in the Viper. However, the Hornet picks up emitters instantly without any modeling of scan cycles. Doesn’t seem much different than how the Viper models restrictions on laser codes being programmed on the ground only (physical limitations of the weapons), Maverick bore sighting procedures, etc. that the Hornet doesn’t include.

I’m happy with my volume as is, personally. Have you tried tweaking your settings a bit more?

Yeah, I had noticed that CATA was frozen in place, but upon further testing, I am also seeing it missing in some missions on the Caucuses map.

The Collision Antenna Train Angle (CATA) cue is broken. The patch notes had mentioned that something with it had been fixed, but now CATA isn't really working at all. You can't pull it into the center of the FCR. Viper CATA.trk

@NineLine is there an answer on this? It worked previously and now is permanently illuminated. How is it a wishlist item?

It looks like you might be putting the missile in your RWR blind spot when you roll the jet. The beeps also sounded almost like a TACAN or ILS freq. Could you try a longer range SAM and avoid rolling the jet to prevent putting it on your blind spot? Something like an SA-10 near the edge of the WEZ. Well disregard some of that. I noticed at the very end of the YT video the launch indicator is flashing. Could still be partially the reason, but probably not the whole thing.

Why is this listed as wishlist and never stated as added? This functionality not only worked previously, but was also not permanently illuminated. Definitely a bug.

You should hear the lower tone here in Wags' latest video: (3:35) Check out this mod (although I don't know if it's compatible with the latest update). It uses audio from the Goldfein shootdown. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3326800/

While I haven't had a chance to download the update and check this out yet, what you should hear is an initial launch warning with 8 beeps, followed by a launch recycle tone 15s later at a lower tone. It should not be continuous, but there's an audible indication to let you know it's the same missile when the recycle is played.

Hey! Check out our post here: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/317585-the-421st-vfs-of-the-476th-vfg-is-now-recruiting/#comment-5135088 I think you'd be an incredible fit in our group! I

Are there plans to bring the full jamming effects over to client aircraft then?

That's exactly what I want - the most realistic version of the jet possible, and if it turns out I am wrong, so be it. But definitely I had noticed this changed a few times in the last 6 or so months, and there's been zero documentation of it in any of the patch notes. It just seems right now that unless you're pixel on pixel accurate, the bomb isn't coming off. If this is correct behavior, then it really needs to be documented somewhere, and I hope ED will really push to provide more accurate changelogs rather than require us to spend 8+ hours downloading an old version when the new one takes under 2min. The HUD footage I sent them suggests that the release doesn't need to have absolute dead on accuracy as long as it's close.

PM sent. Edit: Added some tracks from DCS OB v 2.8.0.33006 where a similar level of offset off the ASL was releasing the weapon just fine, which also aligns with what I PMed you. Viper G12 #3 2-8-0-33006.trkViper G12 #4 2-8-0-33006.trk

No, I don't have anything publicly available on hand currently other than that this has worked in prev. versions of DCS. It was then broken again sometime around June-August, and then fixed again afterwards before being yet again broken in a recent update. I am trying to downgrade my DCS install to provide you with a track showing evidence of this, but that's going to take some time. Regardless, this is a pretty common sense thing. It's a guided weapon and there's been zero documentation of the change in any of the patch notes. Please pass this forward to the devs for review in the meantime.

Submitting an additional track with less than 1° of offset where the bomb still does not release. Viper G12 #2.trk

The GBU-12 is being forced to release in 5mil constraints, which had been fixed in a previous update. These should be releasing in 3/9 just like the GBU-38. I've attached two tracks showing the GBU-12 and the GBU-38, as well as an overhead view showing the amount of offset. The GBU-12 is a laser guided weapon, and should be easily able to hit the target within these parameters. Viper G12 5mil.trkViper G38 3-9.trk

Yeah, not a bug

While an expansion of the map would be cool, I'd rather see the NTTR itself receive an updated terrain before any talk of expansion. Mountain ranges and cliff faces look like small hills with soft surfaces, the colors are all wrong, and even places like Star Wars Canyon don't look correct. There's so much that really needs an update on the map as is that is really important as selling it as the NTTR, at least visually.

Please do, I'd like to see it. I received my unit a few days ago. I think it encourages you to use more force to take advantage of the slightly larger flex/motion of the stick. This in turn makes blending Gs easier, and helps to prevent overshoot.

I had the same experience with the shifting SPI location while hitting CZ a number of times. Unfortunately the track I've had was too long, but I'll definitely submit an additional one soon.
