Sinclair_76 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Internal and external boresight are needed to correctly allign the laser, DTV and FLIR. For the outfront boresight an outfront boresight target would be really helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom0gritz Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 The addition of having to do this would be a great, "Good jobs devs!! I hate you." kind of moment. Something that is great for the system/game or what have you, and you love the that its there. But you curse the devs every time in a tongue-in-cheek kind of manner.

Repth Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 What may seem like tedium to those who have done it in reality, is pure joy for those of us who haven't. At least the first couple of times, after that we get tired of it too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Trooper Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 For me, It will be on in the beginning and always off shortly afterwards.... Come the Zombie apocalypse, it sure would not hurt to know how to do it when I stumble across an abandoned Apache. HP G2 Reverb, Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate as standard. OpenXR user, Open XR tool kit disabled. Open XR was a massive upgrade for me. DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), 0 X MSAA, 0 X SSAA. My real IPD is 64.5mm. Prescription VROptition lenses installed. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC at the mo. MT user (2 - 5 fps gain). DCS run at 60Hz. Vaicom user. Thrustmaster warthog user. MFG pedals with damper upgrade.... and what an upgrade! Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height with brail enhancements to ensure 100% button activation in VR.. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound.... you know when you are dropping into VRS with this bad boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaemonPhobos Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) This is a must, both TADS internal boresight, ihadss boresight, AWS dynamic harmonization and SANUC, also, the outfront boresight isn't available when you are using the MTADS, only internal. These are vital procedures for an accurate simulation. A randomized aircraft logbook having CBHK corrector values to check if correct would be a nice detail.

S. Low Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 We don’t sight in any guns on any other aircraft. Is this a maintenance procedure or do pilots have to do this in flight or as part of start up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaemonPhobos Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 hace 19 minutos, Relic dijo: We don’t sight in any guns on any other aircraft. Is this a maintenance procedure or do pilots have to do this in flight or as part of start up? Depends on the aircraft and the specific weapon/system to be boresighted. For example, hornet and viper HMCS boresighting is something that pilots must do themselves but isn't functional in DCS yet. Most of the functions that the pilot must go through are implemented, though. you can always search for a checklist to see if a specific function is still not available. In the apache, the pilot/CPG sighting procedures are: TADS internal boresight, IHADSS boresight, TADS manual servo drift correction, TADS, FCR, NVS operational checks, Scene assisted non-uniformity check, AWS dynamic harmonization and laser pointer outfront boresight (if implemented). Those are the procedures the pilot and gunner must do for themselves by the book. Maintenance personnel take care of CBHK procedures and provide boresight corrector values for the TADS, PNVS, pylons, gun, INU1 and 2, doppler, HIADC and BPS. Pilots are provided with an aircraft logbook that allows them to check if said values are correct when starting the aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Low Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Sigh, how long does it take? I'm personally more concerned with the flight model and the weapons systems. If this is a very time consuming and tedious part of start up, I personally would not be offended if they offered a "simplified" boresight option for start up procedure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Raptor9 Posted April 1, 2021 ED Team Share Posted April 1, 2021 Most of what @DaemonPhobos is talking about has no practical application in DCS. And frankly, he's pulling these procedures from a restricted document... 3 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

That's sounds about as much fun as a virtual fuel sample before every flight. Edited April 28, 2021 by barundus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaemonPhobos Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Well, TADS boresight is pretty much automatized, SANUC also and it takes a couple of seconds, AWS DH is optional and the IHADSS boresight would be equivalent to the planned HMCS coarse and fine alignments on the FA-18C. It's not really that much of a complicated process. Why would one want to simulate this? Because, i personally believe (and I suppose other people thinks the same) that we play DCS because we want to know how to fly the real aircraft as close and detailed as possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
