Ff you could have one thing in the next update it would be…
-
It would be cool to communicate with ground units on CAS missions, or at least through AWACS…. like pop smoke and direct. Those enemy infantry units are had to spot on TGP or mk1 zoomed in eyeball
That’s about the only thing DCS has that I wish we had.
Definitely. JTAC would be great.
Although during CAS missions I’ve had AWACS tell me to attack other targets which they gave me the Bulls/distance to. There is a FAC mission role that you can add to CAS packages but I’ve never tried that.

So, now that we have these new magnificent vapor effects on wings/fuselage, maybe it is time for the devs to consider adding and the supersonic effect at some point, enabled for a couple of seconds during the mach-1 and -2 transition?

A numerical airbrake position indicator akin to the flap or throttle position indicator at the top left would be nice. Only visible if airbrake position is >0.0. Or at least an “Airbrake” notification if the brakes are not stowed.
The cockpit indicator is really hard to see.

What do you mean by “supersonic effect”?
If you mean the sonic boom, there is no such additional effect when passing M2. -

Contact Lockheed Martin.
BMS philosophy is to mimic RL avionic. Not to re-invent it.

@Bellc09:
The vapor skirt
Also not happening again at Mach2.
The higher the TAS, the supersonic cone gets narrower, but there is not secondary/additional/etc cone (or sonic boom) when you pass mach 2. There is no such thing, sonic effects repeating at multiple of MACH numbers. -

LOL just imagine how much LM would ask for to develop that.

Read my post again. Nowhere do I demand correction for any questionable descisions of General Dynamic’s engineers.
I just wanted a nice little notification to increase situational awareness in the corner of my screen, because I’m just a regular dude with a desktop PC and a flightstick and don’t have my private full motion 360° F-16 IMAX.
But never mind that. The SA bar (Shift+3) has a readout for the airbrakes. Still, a solution that is not dependant on having to toggle something on and off would be nice.

For those of us who would prefer using the existing solution, i.e. the actual F-16 avionics, I think we would prefer that a solution that can be toggled off is better, and a solution that is toggled off by default is best.

I would like for the ground radar to see some improvements. It should be able to show roads, runways, rivers etc, which would make it easier to locate where the hell the targets actually are (and what they are). I’ve found with the new improved weather (loving it!) I’m flying much more in conditions where the TGP is no use, and using the ground radar more.

I bet real pilots would like that too.
-
I bet if the ground radar was improved in BMS, there would be a lot more request for help with how to use the radar… the radar elevation knob would be the new NWS
-

Haha, I’m sure they would
If this video holds true, then it should at least be possible to pick out big features like runways:
But yeah, I’ll admit, it’s not very sharp. But better than the GM radar we have.
-
A dedicated A Viper cockpit. No idea If is even possible, but would be great fun.
-
In the hornet,
The nose has a pronounced left yaw when the gun if fired. I’d imagine that’s incorrect seeing as the gun is mounted on centerline. Feels like that isn’t quite right, makes sense in the Viper, not in the hornet.
-
Arneh, I don’t understand. In BMS you get exactly those GM pictures of airbases etc. Press pinky switch to expand the GM radar to DBS2; and you will nicely see the runway of an airbase etc.
-
-
Better SAMs behavior would be great ( ambushes, transfering lock data between batalions, turning off radar and so on) could make things a lot more intersting
-
larger TGP visible range (instead of the 25ish miles limit) and allowing to load targets on distance greater than the 70 miles limit (for weapons such as the Delilah).
-Autogen buildings if it could be done

Its still far from real F-16 ag radar, just search some videos or old thread here in forum. It really is better in RL
LOOK HERE
6.30 is where you can see how good it is in real life, even that old block

Dunno, '119. Last night I went after a Mi-8 that was either very brave or very stupid(considering there were at least 20 blue jets in the area),who was just tooling along at 4k. Right when I got down to medium altitude a sa-6 went after me. So, dumb helo pilot or SAM bait? The SAM site wasn’t radiating until it shot at me, then proceeded to start shooting at everybody.
Anyway, I was impressed…as I hung from my chute.:p
