here’s a bug report for the broken CCRP timer on the super etendard. Details and screenshots attached to the bug report.

Oh, btw, anyone already got the MiG-21 2000?

For me the default MFD should be RWR, but it’s never showing anything, even when the GUI overlay RWR got contacts…

Like this?

It does seem to be broken.

i’m kinda confused as to why they’d make an MFD for a 4 sector rwr. given, it makes one display more versatile, and you don’t need a separate indicator. However, why’d the engineers at IAI skip modernising this part of the avionics suite, away from the by then at least 20 years old SPO-10?

Added:

F-16V Block 72 should have the JHMCS instead of the Scorpion HMD

Whilst this would be somewhat of a nerf it will make it more accurate. Taiwan are set to use JHMCS II for their fleet of Vipers.

Thales Scorpion is compatible with the F-16V but I believe it should not receive it unless Taiwan actually decides to purchase and use it.

In my opinion the same reversion back to JHMCS should be done for the F-16C Block 50 too to provide some variety between the 50 and 52 but also so that it further represents a non-PoBIT F-16C since the Thales Scorpion addition is running alongside the PoBIT program.

Instead I believe JHMCS should be improved to be better represented in-game with it’s missing features like a working RWR indicator, radar target boxes, and friendly aircraft indicators.

Ah I can finally post on the forums.

It SHOULDN’T be that way, if you compare the pictures of the MiG-21 2000’s cockpit, you’ll realize it doesn’t have an RWR display because it already has the analogue SPO-10 display at the top, that thing is an invention of Gaijin which serves no purpose.

If anything the correct MiG-21 2000 should have a proper FCR page and TSD as seen in the following images:

Note: This FCR page format as seen in the poster has been found true on almost all Israeli modernizations, which is why I’ve set it here despite not having a picture of the MiG-21 2000 displaying it.

Oh and if you really want to get theoretical, it should also have an SMS display page and a HUD repeater.

F-5TH TCU Should Have DASH HMD

Mig-21 2000 uses the wrong HMD .

To be fair, there’s a lot of Israeli aircraft that should already have the DASH IV symbology layout by now.

Great work compiling reports as always!

I’ve made a few new reports for the Kfir C.10 Block 60 and the MiG-21 2000 worth the read and worth adding to the pile of issues.

Just noticed that the F14-D HUD, while being a placeholder (marked as fixed, but using F-18s HUD), doens’t even have the AIR-TO-AIR cannon pipper. 80$ USD by the way… and we don’t even have any news of it being fixed…

As far as we know the correct HUD will be implemented later, how much later we don’t know.

the air to air pipper only shows up when you have only gun ammo left, and the weapon selector is on guns
see this issue: F-14D Air to Air guns sight mode unavailable

So, we have the wrong cockpit, the wrong loadout, the wrong HUD, the lack of HMD, and a non functioning MFD.
F-14D gotta be the greatest premium ever.

because f14d never had HMD ?

Ahhh yea…
You got some docs which no one saw before?

lol. no.

it is currently the strongest jet at 12.7 in sim
it is literally pay to win

F-14A tested the VTAS system, theoretically all F14s were ready and able to equip it. You can check the other digital combat (s) game forum, there’s plenty of documentation there.
