Eagle Dynamics seriously needs to look into improving the mission editor, I think there's a LOT of improvement to be done. - click and drag to select objects (same way as you select icons on the desktop). - DO / UNDO buttons (these are essential). - Import mission objects from one map to another. These 3 above are absolutely essential to any type of mission editor in any game or sim. Please do! In addition it would be nice to have the following: - Saving templates of empty objects (this would make creating a believable airbase way way faster). - Allowing for smooth weather transitions over time (this is more of a sim mechanics standpoint). Unrelated to this video, and I made this comment about a year ago as well, but this basic stuff really needs to be implemented. Using the editor to create missions is hell right now. Thanks!
@@fonesrphunny7242 Not to speak of the broken track files.. Flying long missions just to find out I can't even review what happened because my jet ends up into a mountain side rather than showing the real unfolding of events... Anyway... Its still hell of a good sim, but they should focus on fixing the core game for a while, and stop adding new features until they fixed all of that basic stuff first
@@KevinS47 I wonder how channels like Grim Reapers or Spudknocker are capable of recording Tracks to capture and edit it later on. It looks like they don't suffer from broken tracks :)
@@norman191000 I have read somewhere that multiplayer track files are more reliable. You can fly single player missions by setting up a local server. This is a bit inconvenient but should help.
I like the addition of these types of features for the Viper. I'd like to ask - is more detailed damage modelling planned for implementation? I'm talking about stuff like systems/avionics failures from battle damage, or damage from pilot error, like hot starts. If so what is the priority of this, relative to the remaining content for the module?
@Matt Wagner sorry I dont know where else to ask this. Would it be possible to make a controls modifier for a selected aircraft so that the same button or switch is just a regular binding for all other aircraft. For example I have a Warthog HOTAS that Id like to use the pinky switch as a modifier in the AH-64 but I still want it to be a binding for the lights in the A-10C. With a continuously growing air frame count in my hangar this would be amazing to have with my limited access to different HOTAS or HOCAS setups. If you cant help with this where would be the appropriate place to ask for this where it would be seen and past along?
I still do not get how INS drift can still happen with GPS updates. Obviously there can be variation to an extent in any positioning system, but shouldn't the GPS update always cancel the drift entirely (to the accuracy of the GPS reciever itself) every time an update happens. For example, a 1nm drift should never be possible when flying straight and level with GPS aided INS. Heavy maneuvering can throw GPS aided INS off for a few moments but flying straight and level will always return the accuracy to GPS levels. So what exactly is meant by saying that "drift can still happen"? Or is there a strange design limitation that is referenced here?
Then use the AUTO ACAL GPS option, which will blend the INS/GPS. As mentioned in the video, the manual calibration is mostly for when GPS is not available.
@@possiblyadickhead6653 Could be, but the script quite clearly states that this drift is a part of normal operations. GPS jamming would be really welcome in DCS.
If INUs didn't drift, no gps updates would be necessary. Even modern ring laser gyro INUs are still subject to drift, but not as much as a mechanical INU. It's just a limitation of INUs.
@@MattWagner Thanks for the reply. My question was mostly related to the previous video. So let me get this straight: Is it so that the blended INS/GPS position will drift over time?
@@samn4434 oh, I’m well aware. It just puts off an arcade vibe with the lack of improvement. We’ll see when Vulcan comes out. I’m working with an oculus quest 2.
Any plans to do these same videos for the Hornet? The fix functions exist, but there are no tutorials whatsoever. I believe even the EA guide has nothing.
Hey wags my squadron recently had the privilege to interview Kevin Miller author of raven one. We would love for you to be our next featured guest. If this is possible what is a good way to contact you 1v1 so we can work on the details. We understand your busy and this would only be roughly a half hour Q&A.
Difference between the ground altitude at the designated position as meassured from the current INS altitude on one hand and the stored waypoint altitude on the other hand.
