Looks like JP found the bug and squashed it.
Have done 10 successive tests without incident.
Found another bug related to CFT F-16s and working on it.

RE: Very strange Air-Ground Radar display
Things to consider with the AG FCR
The AG FCR scans in one BAR only in comparison to the AA FCR which can scan 4 BAR.
The AA FCR at 20nm and 1 BAR will scan a volume of airspace of 60 deg in azimuth and 10000ft in elevation. Its clear that the radar beam is quite small in elevation.
The AG FCR footprint will increase or decrease depending on the tilt angle of the antenna the altitude and the height above ground
Antenna tilt (elevation) and aircraft altitude determine the patch of ground illuminated by the beam.
The antenna tilt thumbwheel has a detent or center position that allows antenna tilt to be automatically centered at the A-G cursor position (equal to AUTO TILT) . With auto tilt, the antenna will ALWAYS tilt to bracket the cursor position.
Antenna tilt will be relative to the cursors range, and the aircrafts altitude.
The steeper the antenna tilt , the smaller the radar beam footprint .

RE: 4.36 MASTER CAUTION light comes on when lowering the LG
Thanks Mav-JP.
All normal, just like JP said
The master caution illuminates because the ANTI SKID caution light was illuminated. The ANTI SKID caution light illuminates when power is applied to the brake control/antiskid assembly and goes off when power-up BIT has been successfully completed. This brief illumination of the ANTI SKID caution light may be observed when power is first applied or after the LG handle is placed down with the BRAKES channel switch in CHAN 1. -
RE: 4.37 Update 1 "messed up"/broke Rampage missile and "autojammer"
@ricnunes CMDS dose not control ECM, the CMS switch dose.
In SEMI mode ,manual dispensing is based on RWR threat sensing.
In AUTO mode automatic is dispensing based on RWR threat sensing.
CMS AFT will turn on the ECM, dispense only one program for each pilot consent., or enable automatic dispensing.
CMS right will turn off the ECM and disable AUTO. -
RE: Very strange Air-Ground Radar display
Ok, I’m going to make one thing clear. The following posted pictures with the fancy arrows, are not an attempt from my behalf to question your intellect. I just think that newcomers stumbling upon this thread, may benefit from the explanation, and If I come out as a smart-arse, trust me, I’m a dumb f***k, bu tat least, I’m not dumber than flat earthers.
Ok… lets begin.
The AA FCR doesn’t either display the entire picture on the MFD. Aircraft that are flying above or below you lower and upper scan limits, are not displayed.
To make things even worse, if you are flying at extremely high altitudes and are trying to detect very low flying aircraft, you radar footprint decreases dramatically when the antenna tilt angle is increased.
Looking at the YT video, the FCR is in 10 nm SP and cursors at 5nm.This means that the elevation T elevation symbol will not drift, unless the pilot pitches up or down .(assuming he has auto tilt).
I can also see l that the F-16 is flying fairly level ,and the antenna elevation is at a constant angle and slightly below 0 deg, so we don’t need to know the aircrafts altitude.
There seems to be a dark arched patch at the bottom of the FCR, but from 10nm and above, and I see clear ground mapping
I replicated it in BMS, put both screen shots together for easier comparison, and this is the result.

RE: HARM WPN POS steerpoint not updating once threat type is selected
@Jetsun TMS AFT to remove the HANDOFF. Then you will be able to change the POS STP via the ICP.
This was added so you have the ability to pre-programm a dedicated STP for each HARM station in addition to mode,table,etc… -
RE: astronomical values in time to steerpoint and distance
@gabrielwong1991 Don’t know much about the AGM-65L and why its HUD symbology differs from the D/G, but I will do my best to describe what you are seeing.
On the HUD, 235057 is your ETA (23:50:57)
Below that is you bearing (00) and range (0002).
On the TGP, the first 4 digits are you laser code (1688). The following digits are your time to go (000:24). Of course, there should be a space between them, and the laser code font size should be smaller. -
RE: 4.36 MASTER CAUTION light comes on when lowering the LG
@Mav-jp I bet most have noticed it,but either knew what was happening, or just ignored it.
For cockpit builders, its pure joy… They just love those lights popping on and off. -
RE: Heading Tape Bug
It’s a bug.
The heading tape should not change position when the DEPR switch is placed in PRI.
Two other things that come to mind.- The amount of depression is displayed in milliradians is a 3 digit number ( above ARM status)
In this picture we see that the depression is zero. It should display 000 and not 0.
2. When the DEPR switch is placed in PRI, the roll indicator / DED should be blanked out.EDIT
Disregard #2 It dose not happen - The amount of depression is displayed in milliradians is a 3 digit number ( above ARM status)

RE: 4.36.3 TGP slewing issue with VIP-TO-TGT [ Bug ?]
There is nothing wrong with the TGP. It is pointing to the “active” VIP sighting.(OSB 10)
Them problem is with the VIP reset initialization, and I will explain.
When the VIP sighting option is mode selected and the IP steerpoint is selected, the SOI initializes to the HUD, and the delivery mode displays VIPCRP. The FCR sighting point initializes to IP, which is added to the sighting point rotary (IP/TGT/OA1/OA2).When the VRP sighting option is mode selected and the target steerpoint is selected, the SOI initializes to the HUD, and the delivery mode displays VRPCRP. The FCR sighting point initializes to TGT, and reference point (RP) is added at the end of the rotary.
A complete reset occurs with any change on the VIP / VRP DED page, including
data changes or mode selected status. The SOI and sighting point reinitialize, previous slews or updates are zeroed, and new slewing or updating is available.As showcased in the following video, a reset occurs ( HUD SOI/ IP sighing selected) when VIP is not mode selected.
The reset goes haywire when VIP is mode selected, or when data changes are made while VIP is mode selected. Instead of initializing to IP, the sighting initializes to TGT.

RE: CCRP release time at low altitude with high drag weapons is wrong?
@depapier Found whats happening. MSL is lower that STP elevation
Good catch.
Will investigate -
RE: Double Front ALR-93 chart
Some corrections.
Emitters without a T symbol or octagon mean that they are in search mode.
The T symbol means that the emitter is in a track and search mode. ( RWS-SAM / TWS)
Emitters accompanied by the T symbol and a octagon mean they are in a dedicated track mode ( STT). You will also hear 3 beeps every 7 seconds.
Flashing octagon = missile launch.
If the emitter is not a single character ( MQ for example) the octagon will denote a search and track status. A dedicated track by the same emitter will denoted by the octagon ,plus 3 beeps every 7 seconds.

RE: ECM - Real Painel functions
How far can we make a slightly more functional panel that does not run into classified problems?
Not much more than what is already coded. Maybe… I say maybe, some light indicators during operation or BIT, and some fault indications.

RE: AGM-65G problem : only lock structure and ignore vehicles
@Frederf Correct
Also adding that the Handoff will automatically force NFOV. -
RE: FCR ACM Mechanization
BMS uses tape 5.1
If you are in NO RAD, TMS AFT commands 10x60
If you are in BORE,SLEW or ACM20 with no lock, TMS AFT commands ACM 20 NO RAD. A second TMS AFT commands 10x60
In any ACM mode with a lock, TMS AFT drops the track and commands ACM20 NO RAD. A second TMS AFT commands 10x60
TMS Right commands ACM20
Cursor slew commands slew mode. -
RE: Unexpected HARM behaviour
Guess we can set this one to solved.
In POS mode, the ALIC will load the whole SAM system regardless if you are handing off the acquisition radar or track radar. Target Isolate will be needed . -
RE: Blended TFR
Lets clear one thing up.
Blended mode is entered by placing the A/P switch to PITCH ALT HOLD or ATT HOLD while your are in MAN or ATF . In both cases, the STBY light illuminates. The Autopilot ROLL switch has nothing to do with blended mode, nor dose it influence automatic steerpoint selection in any way.
The STP number is not increasing automatically because you in manual steerpoint selection.
You will need to select the STPT page and dobber right to toggle between automatic or manual steerpoint selection. AUTO or MAN will be displayed on the STPT page. If AUTO is selected ,on the CNI page the letter A will be displayed adjacent to the steerpoint number.
AUTO STPT is inhibited while in AG mode.Here is a video showing AUTO STPT selection, Blended mode, AP ROLL set to STRG and AG mode inhibiting AUTO -STPT

RE: Engine idle regime at minimun throttle
Hi guys!
Since we are talking about F-16 engines … I would need to know what are the specific “standard” following values for the our simulated F-16 engines:
FTIT Start (normal/common T° peak on engine start)
FTIT Idle (normal/common T° at idle)
FTIT Max (normal/common T° full dry)
FTIT AB (normal/common T° full AB)For the following engines:
In priority I need:
F110-GE-100
F110-GE-129Additionally (because I already received recommendations/references for those, but with more I could cross check)
F100-PW-200
F100-PW-220
F100-PW-229…
Note: I am not asking the values shown in the Dash-1! In -1, there are only the limitations, but normal ops values are below those maximum acceptable values. What I need are the generally observed common/normal values.
You should have values for the GE 129 and PW-229 in one of your pm’s ages ago.
