Have you got the DCS track to look at?

Post a track to eliminate all human factors, the tacview doesn't tell the entire story.

I have flown lots of times with them today in various missions in the A-10c - hitting fairly well but now have the white smoke shader issue and cannot shake it

Just flew a mission...9 of 9 mavericks (3 x D, 3 x G and 3 x H) hit their designated targets dead center.

here is the trk file

 

Nothing wrong there, your second shots are made when the seeker pointing cross is outside of the keyhole limits, so the missile looses track.

In the replay, I saw the first AGM-65H score a direct hit.

 

The second was clearly outside of the keyhole limits and missed the target completely.

With the AGM-65D, I observed the exact same thing: the first shot was well within keyhole limits and the missile scored a direct hit, the second missile was clearly beyond keyhole and missed.

The keyhole limitation has been implemented for years now. If your missiles hit two weeks ago and miss now, I don't think the DCS version has anything to do with it.

 

There was a problem with Mavs a while ago where missiles from the side-rails of the LAU-88 always missed, while the missile from the lower rail would not suffer from that problem. However, in your track, the outer-rail-missiles hit, and the lower-rail-missiles missed, so it seems unlikely that this particular bug has resurfaced. Plus, once again, both hits were within keyhole, both misses were outside of it.

 

On a side note, you never retracted the flaps; during the run-in with 65D's, that resulted in a FLAPS indication on the MFCD and meant that you would not have been able to shoot the Maverick. Above 200 KIAS, the flaps retract automatically, so it was "by accident" that you were able to shoot at all.

 

All things considered, I'm certain your technique is bad, and that is the reason your results are hit and miss (pun intended, to be honest :D).

 

Edit: And sniped ;)

I can confirm also since this update jdam falling short of target. Never happened to me before.

 

Please find a suitable thread to report that.

 

When you do, it would help if you could include a version number.

 

At the very least, there's Stable and OpenBeta, so "this update" is ambiguous.

Same problem? The problem in this thread turned out to be user error, so are you saying that you too are using the Maverick incorrectly? /s

 

 

 

I think you might need to open another thread if you found a problem with the AGM-65D's tracking.

Everybody said: "That's impossible!" Then someone came along who didn't know that and just did it.

As I just said, this thread is not about a bug, it is about user error. If you found a bug, you might need to open a new thread.

Definitely need to see a track - I have just flown a test mission I have for the A-10c and from 6000 feet hit 4 out of 4 targets (3*BMP, 1*MBT)
