Nooch Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I've run a few tests and it seems that inputting wind data into the CDU has become uneffective in 2.5, giving us a wrong ccip solution (and probably for ccrp as well). Bombs fall consistently off the target by a significant distance. I'm using the standard method from Boris which used to work fine in 1.5. In 2.0 Open Alpha already, people started noticing it wasn't working anymore so it would make sense that the problem has been carried over to 2.5, as both of these version have a lot in common. Can you guys confirm this? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurgon Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Haven't actually tested in 2.5, but I've read repeatedly (mostly by Snoopy and Eddie IIRC) that manual wind correction via CDU is hardly ever done in the real aircraft and really shouldn't be necessary except for some very specific circumstances (the exact nature of which I don't know). Maybe something isn't even broke but in fact working more correct now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something isn't even broke but in fact working more correct now? Even if its not used, its still a system thats in place on the Suite 3 aircraft (the one we have in DCS), and its not noted in the manual that its not simulated. A10C - Block 5+7, AV8B/NA Harrier, F-14B. Pentium G4560, GTX 1050Ti, 20GB's total, 1x16GB Kingston Hyper X, And a 1x4GB Avexir Core Series kit, fleamarket mouse/keyboard, i swear it works fine :megalol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly they said that because all the wind data comes preloaded into the cartridge and thus nobody needs to input it on the cdu like we're used to in DCS. The data itself is still very much needed and useful though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data itself is still very much needed and useful though. It's not loaded in the cartridge. IFFCC is automatically getting the data as the aircraft is flying. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1865490&postcount=42 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3346883&postcount=5 If you make an active pause while flying, do you see a change in the PBIL when you change the wind data?

Cheers Hans Ok, that's interesting. I thought it was only the case with later software suites. If you make an active pause while flying, do you see a change in the PBIL when you change the wind data? Cheers Hans I haven't retested in 2.5 yet but in 1.5, yes definitely. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
