some Shahak love..

Folks, the PPA is now active and will be included in the next update.

These are the active features at this time:

Missiles:

• MAGIC IIs now have a lifetime of 90 minutes since start of flight on the ground, 80 minutes if you start in the air.
• MAGIC IIs can be placed in STANDBY mode in order to increase their lifetime.
• Activating the MAGIC IIs take 30 seconds and decrease the lifetime by 10 minutes.
• If the MAGIC II lifetime reaches 0, the missile becomes inert and cannot be launched.
• Super 530Ds also have a lifetime but this one is counted in hours so there is no immediate effect in DCS.
• Super 530Ds can be placed in STANDBY mode. STANDBY mode is SOP for ferry flights and AAR.
• Activating the Super 530Ds take 45 seconds.
• Missiles that are in STANDBY cannot be launched.
• All missiles will be active from the beginning when you start in the air. Otherwise they will go thru the activation process.

Bombs:

• Bombs now require fuze selection.
• By default, in both ground and air starts, the bombs are in SAFE (INT, meaning INERTE, which is French for INERT) mode. In this mode the bombs will NOT explode under any circumstances.
• You MUST select a fuze option before release, either RET, meaning RETARD, which is French for DELAY, in this mode the bomb will penetrate before exploding; or INST, meaning INSTANTANÉ, French for INSTANTANEOUS, in this mode the bomb will explode on contact.

The other PPA options will also be enabled in due time, but these ones are going to be available in the next release.

Okay folks these are the latest for the PPA:

TOT/PAR button functionality is now enabled.

TOT :
- Super 530D: you launch BOTH missiles at the same target. There is a 2 seconds delay between each missile launch.
- Rockets: you fire ALL the rockets in both rocket pods with a single trigger press. If you carry rockets in the outboard pylons, those will be fired first, to fire the inboard rockets you will have to press the trigger again.
- Guns: Will keep firing as long as you keep the trigger pressed.

PAR:
- Super 530D: Only one missile is launched.
- Rockets: Only one rocket is fired from the selected pod. Pod selection is automatic.
- Guns: You fire a burst for each trigger press.

At this time by default the TOT/PAR selection is PAR.

For AA Missiles there is now a delay between pressing the trigger and actual launch:
- MAGIC II: There is a 0.50 seconds delay.
- Super 530D: There is a 0.80 seconds delay IF the radar is in STT mode. If the radar is in TWS mode, the delay will be 1 second. The radar will automatically switch from TWS to STT (it will also switch to HRF if in ENT) before the missile is launched. These delays apply to both TOT and PAR firing modes. The Super 530D will NOT launch if there is no locked target.

Today I started working with the INS. 1st thing that I have crossed out: How to select the bullseye.
On the left, waypoint 2 is the bullseye. Below you have distance and bearing to it.
On the right, 00 indicates that no bullseye has been selected. In that case you have TDC range and bearing

Keeping up Foreign Relations is an important milestone in the development process!

On the AJS-37 Viggen and current progress

We're still working hard and in pseudo-crunch mode.
There are no conspiracies, no issues- just a lot of hard work bringing mantis walls of red into the green.

Another (practically daily) progress update on the AT-27! Baby steps as work begins on the flight model.

Hey guys,

Work on the RAZBAM DCS: AT-27 flight model is getting started, and I would like to work in parallel with a few live at-will (and at your convenience) testers.

I would like three testers total, to work in a team as well as independently. I've asked two, and only one has accepted so far (the other is undecided). Please, provide some reasons why you would make a great tester!

It doesn't seem like it should be a big deal, but I'm really looking to assemble a small team of real know-it-alls as opposed to a reckless squadron of...whatever you want to call it. The two that I've asked are people who I know to be very intelligent, reliable testers. However, they have no evident specialized experience with the AT-27. I need to fill that space.

Some desirable experience:
T-27 Operation or Maintenance Experience*
PT6A-25C (or any variant PT6A) Operation or Maintenance Experience*
Light Turboprop Aircraft Flight Experience
Portuguese-Speaking

And clarification:
The AT-27 EFM is pre-Alpha at this time (work has really just begun)
I can't promise you any form of compensation at this time
You can test at your convenience, but at least 2-4 hours/wk is best
You will need to sign an NDA

If you don't want to reply to this thread, feel free to PM me with interest or question/clarifications/concerns.
