    Dear all,

    In an upcoming update, we will be introducing a Payload Restriction option in the Mission Editor. This will allow mission designers to restrict weapons to specific stations for both single- and multi-player missions.

    I am posting this here as we hope this will be a good solution for “HARMgate”. Based on further research, it comes down to a “it depends” situation. While some Viper units have had their HARM shooters wired for STA 4 and 6, other did not. This explains the conflicting SME feedback and mass-consternation and confusion. With the addition of the Payload Restriction option, we’ll let you decide.

    Kind regards,
    Wags

    Dear all,
    Time for a little Viper update. While the AH-64D team has been very busy, our modern-day fixed wing team (Viper and Hornet), have been equally busy. Although not a promise (a lot can happen in test), we are shooting for the following in the October update:


    • Air-to-Ground radar in Ground Map (GM) mode.
    • HARM Targeting System (HTS) and HARM Attack Display (HAD).
    • Bullseye DED page and indications for FCR and HSD pages.
    • Addition of the HSD cursor.
    • Addition of Mark Points.
    • New INS/datalink system for AIM-120 guidance.
    • Updated FCR and HSD symbols (color and shape).
    • Highly detailed pilot for cockpit view.
    • Smoother cursor control.
    • Improved MPD clarity.
    • Adjusted RWR detection ranges.
    • Flight model adjustments including commanded G-onset rate.
    • RWS/TWS refinements.
    • On-speed AoA airspeed correction.
    • Addition of the HMCS DED page.


    This list is by no means complete, but it highlights some of the more pressing matters. Again though, this list is not in stone and may change based on internal test results.

    Kind Regards,
    Wags

    F-16C Viper
    New Features

    We are now engaged in new features for DCS: F-16C Viper and look forward to sharing the details with you in the next Open Beta update. It is with great pleasure that we can guarantee you the arrival of the ECM Pod, a very much improved HSD cursor, new AG features for the helmet and semi-automatic and automatic countermeasure programs. Also, keep your eyes peeled for an updated FLIR picture.

    Dear all,
    In addition to the ECM pod functions coming to the Viper, we will also be introducing jamming effects on the FCR. When the FCR can generate azimuth, range, Vc, etc. data for a target and the target is jamming, a yellow double-chevron symbol is placed over the contact. If, however, range cannot be resolved due to jamming, a yellow, double-chevron symbols is placed along the top of the FCR page along the detected azimuth angle of jamming.
    The attached image shows examples of both of these conditions and a non-jamming contact.
    Kind regards,
    Wags

    ***Update***
    Today we completed internal integration of L16 and IDM sharing of HTS/HAD emitter contacts. This will allow you to designate and share emitter location between Flight, Team, and Donors. Additionally, sharing of emitter triangulation data between flight members is also internally complete as part of the TDOA option from the HAD page.
    We've made further adjustments to SPI sharing regarding accurate HSD symbology that includes Flight/Team member ID.
    Finally, we've made good progress on adjustments to the ITR and G-onset, and internal verification tests will probably start next week.
    If testing goes well, we plan to have it included in the next Viper update.
    Progress on datalink is going well, but we still have some significant items to still complete. Once datalink is complete, work will commence on the CRUS DED page.
    In parallel to datalink and FM, DEST DED page, MAN bombing mode, and LADD bombing mode are in work.
    Kind regards,
    Matt
