I second that (EDIT: maybe thread should be under Bugs and Problems?). Current state of both cold and hot start instant missions in Syria map are not playable due to ground traffic on the appointed runway. I like the idea though. :thumbup:

You can add Emergency Wing Sweep lever as an axis in your joystick lua file, see this post in another thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4331725&postcount=35

With the latest beta I've noticed a great improvement in this area. I also used to have big FPS drops when using radar in PPI mode (especially with 60 km scan zone), but no more. :thumbup:

For Swedish speaking I can highly recommend Stellan Hilmerby's YouTube channel. You can see him post here on the forum as well occasionally (https://forums.eagle.ru/member.php?u=125949).

Your YouTube video is empty LastRifleRound, mind try uploading it again?

Interesting and little contradictory to the aerodynamics compendium I mentioned! Mind sharing the book title and author as well? Do you have it has a pdf to share with the DCS community (there is a separate thread covering real life documentation)? Positive moment usually means "nose-up" so I think you were correct in your assumption. :thumbup: There are multiple ways of interpreting the figure I guess. Does it represent the impact of the hump on the back only (in comparison to a fuselage without one) or does it represent the complete aircraft (being the sum of many parts)? :huh: Since I find no reference to the hump in the compendium, it could also be that the compendium describes an earlier (pre-hump) design...(EDIT: The bulge is actually mentioned on page 68 and illustrated in Fig. 56). I guess ultimately HB will have to jump into this discussion if we want the final answer as to which flight model is implemented. :smilewink::helpsmilie:

Do you have a reference for that book section? Are you sure it’s for the final (serial production) version and for the full aircraft configuration? In the Aerodynamics of the Viggen 37 aircraft compendium (part 1) by Krister Karling there is a quite thorough discussion about the pitching moment of the Viggen at low speeds, see especially sections 2.4-2.14. In Fig. 47 on page 57 there is a pitching moment curve of the Viggen in comparison to other aircrafts, which suggests a small negative Cm at alpha zero (zero moment coefficient). On page 69 there is also a typical (negative) magnitude mentioned for an unloaded Viggen (-0.006). It is however mentioned that the actual magnitude is dependent on a number of factors, including external loading, flaps and elevator positions, etc. I failed to find any data for higher speeds, most likely since the publication was on the low speed characteristics (maybe this is covered in other parts of the compendium?).

Good riddance :thumbup:

Recently (2.5.6.43453) fixed button for "Aterstart (Restart) Switch On/Off" currently has different command definitions inside keyboard.lua, joystick.lua and mouse.lua files, which introduces "Different actions have identical descriptions!" error under Options/Controls. Should the command definition be 3401 (as in keyboard.lua and joystick.lua) or 3004 (as in mouse.lua)? clickabledata.lua file seems to suggest 3401. For further bugs and wishlist concerning Viggen buttons, see running request in https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=236791.

Mission logic is broken for mission 6. See threads below: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=262642 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=261257 Can also confirm earlier post that communication with ATC is not working in the mission. Big hits on fps also experienced since update to Open Beta 2.5.6 (especially when using radar A1/A2 modes), but suspect this is a general DCS problem by looking at other forum discussions/complaints.

Thanks for acknowledging the issue and for working on a solution! :thumbup: I do like the idea of a road base, it improves the immersion as it makes the mission/campaign more Viggen-like. :pilotfly:

Can confirm issue with getting stuck in crossroads at the current road base used in WoT mission 5. Maybe the road base should be relocated somewhere more appropriate? This issue was also raised and posted in another thread by the way: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=4206794#post4206794

Enjoyed first four missions, but can confirm frustrating issue with getting stuck in crossroads at road base in WoT mission 5. Seems like you need constant momentum to avoid it from happening, which is really tricky considering the narrow roads and the sharp bends. Only way to get going after getting stuck is to apply full afterburner and show massive amounts of patience as you inch your way slowly forward. There is also no space to make a u-turn anywhere so you need to reverse your way around the crossroad again after you have rearmed and refueled which is even more difficult (without loosing momentum). Took me a good 30-40 mins to get up in the air again! Another bug in the mission is your wingman’s inability to land. After giving him the radio instructions to RTB he starts circling Senaki until he runs out of fuel...

I think the logical rules of the autopilot selection modes and buttons may have to be reviewed by HB. I'm still having the cold start issue described previously in the thread https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=224126. When starting from cold the autopilot is disengaged when changing mode twice, e.g. going from initial SPAK mode to ATT and then back to SPAK (or to HOJD). I basically have to disengage and engage the autopilot from cold start for it to operate as normal.
