Stored Heading Alignment is now enabled. Alignment time takes nearly 50% less time than regular GND alignment.

Reworking the seat textures.

Meanwhile...

Stanley Control Tower 1982. Still WIP

Stanley Control Tower 1982 - Original Signage - pre- Argentinian invasion

OK hopefully i will include various textures for signage so that you can have whatever era you like, need to discuss this first though

This week we will probably release a new update to the AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missile (AMRAAM) that includes the following:

ACT and TTG times. When an AIM-120 is still on the rail, it will display its expected time in seconds to active (ACT) below the tactical area of the radar display. Once launched, the ACT time will appear on the HUD, and once the ACT time has reached zero, it will change to Time To Go (TTG) until impact time. Zero TTG indicates missile time out / target impact.

Once the missile is active, you can dump the radar lock and allow the missile to continue the intercept itself.

Below the missile triangle fly-out symbol on the radar display, the time to active will first be displayed and then an “A” once the missile is active.

Pressing the Cage/Uncage button, you can toggle the AIM-120 to VISUAL mode when a target is locked (STT) on the radar. The TD symbols will still appear, but the NIRD circle and its indications will be removed when in VISUAL mode with a designated target.

To use VISUAL mode, simply place a target within 10 nm inside the dashed reticle on the HUD and let ‘er rip. The missile will come off the rail in HPRF (maddog) and will attempt to lock and guide on the first return it finds. Be careful with any friends in your forward quarter

Lots of good progress on the EW systems this weekend!

Today we added EW HUD (display of RWR contacts on the the HUD), EW Offset (spread out tightly group RWR contacts in azimuth), new AI (airborne intercept) RWR sound, and fixed spurious RWR contacts. Work is ongoing on the RWR contact symbols and modifiers.

We hope to have these in an update soon.

Thanks!

Finalizing the reworked F-15E seat textures.

This month we are expanding the functionality of the AIM-120 AMRAAM, AIM-7 Sparrow, Electronic Warfare (EW) systems, and introduce the AIM-9X Sidewinder. This video is designed to give you a preview of these new features coming later this month. There are more improvements also coming this month like corrected Target Aspect (TA) indication, fixed deck sliding, changing weapons while in an ACM mode, and adding the AMCI pod.

Near-term AG weapons to work on are Paveway II series bombs and HARM.

Other priority items include:

HSI brightness
A/A radar tracking loss and RTS
JHMCS
A/A Bullseye and related indicators
LTWS
MIDS / Link-16 for SA page, HUD, A/A radar, and JHMCS
Coupled AP modes
CSS AP mode
NCTR
Complete defensive systems with ASPJ, S/A and AUTO modes, DATA sub-level for EW page
AIM-7 HOJ and LOFT modes
ATC Approach mode / ACLS

Internally, the AIM-7 and AIM-120 versions now have the improved navigation system. Additionally, the internal AIM-7M now has several significant changes like corrected motor thrust-altitude dependence based on nozzle exit area and atmosphere pressure, adjusted drag and lift curves based on wind tunnel test data, and other changes.

We are now carefully testing these changes before we release and move to all AIM-7 and AIM-120 versions.

Also today internally, AIM-9X tracking was increased to 90 HOBS and flare rejection improved. It's a monster.

Port Stanley - still very much WIP and a massive amount still to do but thought i would share

Já se chtěl včera proletět, jen tak s Uháčkem a lehce ozbrojený se sotva odlepím od země. A než naberu trocha výšky motor nevydrží, asi to bude nějaká nová vychytávka.
Vlastně jsem v kvedláku hodně dlouho neseděl, bude to spíše rukama a nohama.

Magote u mně vše v pohodě. Na program 5 si vždy nastavím jeden stisk - jeden chaff, na program 1 jeden stisk - jedna flera a funguje jak má. Ale at mi nikdo neříká, že tohle nejde měnit i na zemi.
