** AJS-37 Changelog / Update Master List **

[arteedecco]

Any word on the unlimited ammo option for single player missions? It would be greatly appreciated as it lets you do multiple run's and practice aiming & weapons deployment.

 

At this moment it is possible to do approx. one rocket run per 20 minutes - considering the load time, start up procedure and flight to target.

 

Regards

 

I just tried making a mission in ME last night, multiplayer, using Client assignment for aircraft (not Player) and unlimited ammunition enforced.

 

I was using high drag bombs on abandoned runway.

 

Dropped the full salvo... bombs weren't replaced on rails.

 

Went, landed at nearby airport I had assigned to same coalition, rearmed and refueled via ground crew.

 

Took off, dropped another salvo of bombs... on egress I used F3 view and noticed I had a bunch of bombs on the rails despite a bunch of explosions evidently from the salvo I'd just released.

 

Figured it was working now for some reason, so I circled for another pass... pickled ... nada... nothing, no bombs.

 

Tried multiple different passes in CCIP just like the first couple successful drops, nothing.

 

I'm assuming this still has to be fixed based on that. And yeah I'm using the latest open beta build all up-to-date.

 

(Awesome work on the module. It's really coming along. I think the Viggen is the most intensely modeled one I've tried yet outside of the A-10C (and probably BlackShark). Amazing detail on the systems.) :thumbup:

How to lock a target with this plane?

The plane can't lock things

 

The maverick uses the TV trigger

It can lock other aircraft to get range info for the SideWinders using Tv fix i Believe (even tho the manual states T1 fix).

What loadout are you carrying?.

As long as you have a Valid Loadout it should just be moving the Weapon selector to RB 75 and then the master mode to ANF.

 

But make sure you have a Valid loadout.

Only Valid Air-Ground weapon mixes are RB 75 + Gunpod and RB 05 + Gunpod (Countermeassure pods and Aim-9s are compatible with all weapon types).

[Flappie]

Thank you mattebubben, I was about to ask the same question. That piece of information is not yet in the manual.

[Quip]

p277

Weapon selector

The weapon types are selected via the weapons selector dial. Rather than selecting a weapon

pylon, it selects a weapon type. The knob has six positions.

Each position may select multiple types, but due to possible weapon configurations will not

clash. For the example position 2 has RB75/ MARK / DYK. Which would either select the RB

75 missile, the RB 05 in A/G mode or set the bombs aiming for dive bombing.

In case of an incorrect selection of weapon type, the HUD presentation will be turned off either

when selecting ANF on the master mode selector or opening the safety bracket.

Hi, this new upgrade will be available this friday ?

Concerning the using with DCS 1.5.5 "Stable" is it for this friday ?

 

Thanks, Skull.

:huh: Uh... I don't get your point, Quip. What you extracted from the manual doesn't say "EP-13 won't work as long as the Viggen does not carry one of these : Rb-75+gunpods / Rb-05+gunpods".

 

EDIT: oh, I guess you think Preston meant "HUD" when he said "little screen", but I guess he meant "EP-13".

The EP13 displays the view signal from the missile. No missile, no signal, nothing to see in the EP13.

[Flappie]

I did have two Rb-75B under my wings. But I think mattebubben already answered to my problem.

[RaXha]

The EP13 displays the view signal from the missile. No missile, no signal, nothing to see in the EP13.

 

It doesn't say anything about the EP13 not working if your load out contains multiple A/G weapon types, for example bombs+Rb 75. The point about not being able to mix most weapon types is not mentioned in the manual right now afaik. :-)

Any news if the pending updates are included in todays 1.5.6 update release?

[mattebubben]

Well the problem with the mixed loadout is the positions of the different selectors in the External armaments panel that the Ground crew is in charge of.

 

For example lets say you put bombs and RB 75 on the aircraft.

Now there is no mode in that external armaments panel for that mix.

For the Bombs to work you have to set it in the BOMB position on the weapon selector.

But that would mean the RB 75 would not work as the Aircraft computer would not be aware you where carrying any RB 75s (so no EP13 etc).

But if you set it to one of the RB 75 positions (Either 05/75 or AKAN/05/75)

then the RB 75 would work but not the bombs.

And since this panel is external its something the Ground crew has to do prior to flight

(as a part of arming the aircraft)

 

Here is a few pages concerning the armament panel and the different loadout options.

But yea they should include some of this info in the Manual

(in pretty bold writing ^^) since i see plenty of people on MP flying with invalid loadouts and not understanding why it does not work.

Some of them are definitely in, not sure if everything made it.

Any news if the pending updates are included in todays 1.5.6 update release?

 

Several files (in the bin, comm, shapes, textures and liveries folders) were changed by the update. I haven't checked in-game yet.

[mattebubben]

Great news =).

 

Great work with fixing the few problems we have been able to find so far.

 

Keep up the amazing work =).

 

Since the only "problem" i have right now is that i feel like the RB 24J and RB 74 are underperforming in most areas

but especially when it comes to the seeker (Having a hard time to lock targets and the RB 74 in particular seems VERY weak on the seeker side).

 

But other then that with these latest fixes its gonna be great taking her online again =).

[*]Updated drag on bombs and bomb pylons, and external fuel tank.

 

To have more drag, or less drag? (Im guessing more, the Vig is insanely fast from what I've seen)

Probably less since it seems the Bomb Drag seems to be far to high atm so hopefully that has been fixed now.

[Vladinsky]

Its been reduced by a lot, much better now.

[Gunnergolly]

Just had a quick play with the instant action "tank buster" mission and unfortunately the RB-75 "y" axis has not been reversed :(.

 

Has anbody else noticed that if you slew the RB-75 past a certain limit then it does not boresight when you press T0..... or am i miss understanding something ??.
