Charly_Owl Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Hi folks, With the released DCS 2.7 version, the Hornet is becoming ever more complex. I originally wanted to wait for a few months before returning to it, but I felt like giving another push before the Great DCS Summer of 2021 comes upon us with new planes. The page count increased from 620 to 680+ pages... but I think it shouldn't increase much for the upcoming months, which will be quite busy for me. See first post for link. *** Changelog (4/05/2021): Added ATFLIR targeting pod section Added HARM Pre-Briefed Modes (Aircraft + HARM Lofting) Added HARM Self-Protect Pullback Sub-Mode Added radar Spotlight mode Updated radar TWS logic Typo fixes and other small corrections *** If you have any suggestions, recommendations or corrections, please let me know. 8 8 Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Chuck's Guides on Mudspike Chuck's Youtube Channel Chuck's Patreon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jubuttib Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hola! Been getting to grips with the JF-17 recently, and noticed a couple of things that (at least in the current state of things) seem to be either different from the guide, or missing from the guide. Different: CM-802AKG datalink requirements. Your guide only mentions the datalink pod for the CM-802AKG in the Manual + Man in the Loop mode, but it would appear that currently at least the Direct mode, and very likely the Coordinate mode as well do require the datalink and terminal guidance from the player. If you don't have the datalink pod onboard when shooting the CM-802AKG, very soon after launch the missile goes stupid and starts doing loops. If you have the datalink pod onboard but don't provide terminal guidance, the missile won't hit anywhere near the SPI (in my experience it flies over the target area, because it's not aligned directly at the SPI, but to get to the area of the SPI. So having the datalink pod and providing terminal guidance is mandatory. I haven't yet tested COO mode, but have tested many a variation in DIR mode. Missing: Slow INS alignment procedure. There doesn't seem to be any mention of how to perform a slow INS alignment, just the fast one. From looking at other people's tutorials and testing in-game, the difference seems to just be that you need to turn the mode switch to GC, don't need to add the heading manually, and after alignment is done turn the mode knob back to NAV mode.

Did Deka say if this was intended behavior or not? I'd rather have their input on this before changing everything for the AKG.

jubuttib Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Unfortunately can't comment on what Deka has officially said, but at least when I was asking around online I had people tell me that it's always been that way. Might be worth asking Deka if you have a contact there? (Sidenote, not directly related to your guide: It can be a bit annoying with the JF-17's targeting pod when it loses POINT track (due to masking, visual obscuring due to clouds, etc.), because it seems to default back to the waypoint SPI. If I intend to fly away to get some standoff, I have to make sure I'm in area track mode to make sure the SPI stays where I want it to.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacko_ZA Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 @Charly_Owlkind sir, firstly, MANY thanks for these guides. I would be lost without them.
