Really? The takeoff physics are poor, if you rotate before 200kts it springs off the ground and oscillates like mad, in this takeoff he is much higher than the lead, even though he oversped the tyres trying to do a smooth takeoff, the nose still bounced after lift off. The physics need improved.
After watching Kamsa struggle with air to air refuelling I'm feeling a little less self conscious about how bad my AAR skills are lol. Brilliant video, made my day. The F-15E is such an elegant plane.
The moment when you just want to go to bed, but then a Ralfidude video pops up… guess I have to be awake for a little bit longer now Love your content ralfi!
Mudhennery at its finest (or at least, most entertaining). A small tip - lowering your visor cuts out a lot of the glare, making seeing the HUD & spotting things easier.
Just something I picked up...somewhere...who the he** knows where...if you box the "EXP" you get an additional level of digital zoom...it can help make things out a bit easier...You probably know that, but it's helped me as I work through the SE. Love your content man. I've been looking forward to a new vid for a long time haha
I think what happened was that you designated something earlier but then moved the TGP thinking the designated target was the one you moved the TGP to. The problem with that is that the bomb line will be aiming at that earlier point instead of the new target. It has happened to me multiple times so a good practice is to redesignate every time you move the TGP (case by case basis)
@@ralfidude The bombs landing way long is a known bug atm, it was in the “known issues” section of the release notes. It advises using CCIP or diving instead. Only happens with wings level release. Only seems to happen once you’ve forgotten about it too :).
@@ralfidude yeah, it’s really annoying :). You didn’t do anything wrong, it’s just a bug with the Auto mode at the moment. Will hopefully be fixed in the next patch.
Hey Ralfi, I've been having the same problem with GBU's. 12s and 10s both just randomly miss and sometimes hit, but 24s are always accurate. I use GBU-10B's and 12C's.
I have the bug where bombs always miss. Always. Razbam knows about it and says in the known issues it’s a bug where “bombs drop long in auto with wings level” so their solution is “try diving for increased accuracy” but for me it’s literally no matter what. No matter what angle no matter what altitude. I literally have not been able to use LGB since it released. I guarantee they have no idea why it’s happening and have no intention of fixing it this year. Yet people refuse to believe it and think it’s my fault and/or I can’t blame Razbam for it.
@SPFLDAngler A couple things, I was lofting my bombs FAR, about 10° nose up, but wings level increased my good bomb rate considerably. Diving will probably help more. Couple things: Make sure your code is set correctly, 1688 default, make sure you have ALAS or MLAS and use the multifunction switch to lase. Currently I don't think we can change bomb codes, but check them on the first Kneeboard page as maybe some multi-player servers change them in the mission editor, and make sure they match your TGP. If this stuff is 100% verified, your weapon setup is good on the armt. page, then reinstall the module through the module manager. It is common for bugs to happen in early access that need a quick reinstall through the module manager. If that doesn't work, upload a video and we'll check it over and try to help.
bro first of all before i even watch the video i gotta say you got perfect timing! i been missing the videos, i just seen a few the other day and then you upload 😂
Yeah, I'm having the same problem. I don't think I've ever stayed connected for more than about 15 secs, and I've collided with the tanker twice, due to getting more and more frustrated. It would help if the tanker lights were visible...
I want to get into this game so bad... to bad I have a laptop that, while it is okay, will shit itself if it tries to run this game and has no space for it. Oh well. Ill keep watching your vids in the mean time!
Put 250-300$ away every month, once you have about 3000 $, spend it on a RTX 3080 / i7-10700K (or similar) PC + good 1440P monitor and buy yourself TrackIR 5 + Warthog HOTAS + TM Pedals with the remaining money. Remember to go for the good stuff right away, otherwise you'll end up spending much more over time, having to upgrade each time to a better rig.
I think the reason why your GBU initially missed was because someone else was lasing on 1688 or ALAS. I've always used GBU-10M's in PACS and never had an issue. ALAS CONT is continuous lase and the bomb could've fallen short. The LANTIRN also cannot fire the laser above 25,000ft. Hard to know for sure. Good video regardless.
Hey, how did u set up your headtracker settings? Do you have any video about that, or planning to do that? Its so smooth and no jumpy(?). I can't figure it out on my settings
Looks like you have the same bug I have. Bombs drop long in auto “all the time”. Razbam knows about it and in the known issues they say “bombs drop long in auto with wings level” and their solution to it is “try diving for increased accuracy” which to me means they have absolutely no idea why it’s happening and can’t fix it. I have not been able to use LGB since it released and it really broke me on DCS and convinced me to never purchase anything from it again. My first Full Fidelity module after a year of playing and I can’t use it for what it’s meant for. All I can do with it is Single Player BVR(because of an IFF bug in MP that makes friendly and enemy show up wrong on radar can’t play MP PvP)
For now, is there some real use for RIO with F-15E? I mean is there somekind of "jester" who does things for you, or how does that work here? Btw, what is this map. Seems beatiful (I own only one bought map PG :P) Maby I should by new computer, while looking this...
I wish mine wasn't bugged... I have the Auto drops long bug, but it also affects CDIP too. So I literally can't drop bombs. I was really looking forward to this module and I want to like it so badly. I just can't. Because of the bugs I have I can't use it for anything except BVR and it makes me really mad and upset.. I had to record multiple bombing runs just to show what I mean.
9:40 LIKE THAT. Every time I drop LGB it does that. Goes long of the target. Only reason it worked there is because the size of the bomb and the radius of damage allowed you to get the kill. I cannot hit a target with Auto because of this issue. I tried cheating the system and designated in front of the target to try and compensate for the bomb going long but that didn't really help lol. But yeah it's just really fkn frustrating not being able to do what the thing is literally meant to do. A bomber that can't bomb, what a friggin joke...
First, take a deep breath. Second, this is known and will be patched out hopefully by next week. Razbam has already provided a VERY long list of fixes so it's all good. For now, try diving on the target instead a bit like you're dropping in CCIP even if it's an AUTO drop, supposedly this helps a lot till the fix comes out. Cheers.
You can pull it off on your own, but if you had to fly and do the air to ground radar at the same time as trying to update your INS positions on preplanned positions and then scanning and refining the AG image then life would be extremely difficult for you alone. But doable for sure.
If you are already in a steep ish turn and deploy flaps and you have asymmetric flap failure then you risk creating a situation where the plane will want to roll over on you and it might be unrecoverable, especially at that low altitude.
@@ralfidude thanks Ralfi, I’m looking at track IR, only problem for me is I also have the yaw2. Idk if the whole tracking thing will work with that. Probably not. My Reverb G2 has all kinds of issues on its own🤦🏻♂️ I really do love the clarity with track IR. Is it hard to track when trying to look behind you though?? Seems like it would be.
You don't look behind you IRL with trackIR. You look like 10 degrees left IRL and it will turn your head 180 degrees in game. It exagerates the movement the further out you go from the center.
A good pagefile on an SSD will help you without needing to go to 64GB. Set your pagefile to have only ONE pagefile to your SSD, no system managed, no anything else. Custom size to 32GB (but in MB) of pagefile for both INITIAL and MAXIMUM, then click SET, APPLY, OK, restart PC for changes to take effect. Should help with the RAM issue.

The F15E is an elegant brick of a plane. So graceful in her struggle to pull 6Gs with 10 tonnes of ordinance.
Trust in thrust.
I see a Ralfi video, I hit like ! F-15E is a familiar, happy place for all of us who played Janes F-15 in university for hours after homework...

My take-off roll is always all over the place. Granted, I don't have any actual pedals, so that might explain a lot.
