    Update HSD video with new features: th-cam.com/video/jh7-oM-SsYA/w-d-xo.html

    After I created the video, we corrected the lock line logic. ONLY flight members should provide lock lines, not the player ownship. Also, to make more clear: RWS contacts are uncorrelated because they lack tracking precision, whereas TWS contacts are correlated because of much more precise tracking information. This also changed in the release version. Thanks

  • @gelbevierzehn
    @gelbevierzehn 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I had also no idea what he meant with "must be french", but then I read the book "Viper Pilot: A Memoir Of Air Combat" written by former USAF Fighter Pilot Dan Hampton.
    I just think Cap also read this book before he made this "exceptionnel" tutorial... :)
    The quotes from the book:
    Page 54 in terms of Iraqi Air Defense: "One of the most dangerous systems was the ROLAND, which the French were good enough to sell to anybody with cash. The French have been lousy warriors since Napoleon died, but they did make good equipment."
    Page 137 im terms of Red Flag training @ Nellis: "All the NATO air forces attend if they can afford it, and occasionally you can see Israelis and some of the Arab nations, like Egypt or Morocco. Even the French show up occasionally, when they can find it."
    Page 145 in terms of an integrated Air Defense System called KARI: "There were several problems with this. KARI was designed by the French who, though first-class vintners, are usually hopeless as warriors. Ask the Germans or the Vietnamese or the Algerians."
    Page 182 in terms of the second Gulf war: "Chances are, when your nation is attacked, you'll forget about everything else but defending your country and your family. Unless, of course, you're French. Then you surrender and eat cheese. (Good cheese, I must say.)"
    Page 227 in terms of the Iraqi Republican Guards as Saddam's elite force: "They were an elite compared to the other Iraqis - or Iranians or the French - but certainly not to us."

  • @Youda00008
    @Youda00008 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Well the problem is, that with datalink on, i can no longer distinguish between track target and system target, so when i'm in TWS and i'm selecting important targets, i cannot see which is already selected and which not. Frustrating. I always turn the datalink off for a fight.

    Trank you for this series. Probably the best out there.
    But I still have a problem with the data link. I can’t get any data picture on the HSD. I only see the waypoints and my radar range, that’s it. Even when I got a radar track it doesn’t appear on the HSD.
    I put on the switch on the right console and I thought that’s enough. Got any idea?

I would need to look for the exact panel but that is a start. the power knob should be turned to on or norm. I havent tested this but if it is off you might look like a hostile to others. they will do a 'mode 4' interrogate but your system is off and wouldnt respond.

Once this is activated you wont see the specific unit on the HSD (or SA page in the Hornet). For air defense units, this means no threat ring will occur on your mfd.

  • @RicoNNect82nd
    @RicoNNect82nd 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The only step I'm missing is, how to get it running in the first place on manual starting the F-16. In AutoStart Mode, it works all well when aligned about 62. Manual I even let it go down to 10 until RDY is flashing in the DED. I tried with DL and MIDS on before and after alignment, with no luck so far. Up in the air its only showing me my radar contacts. I think I miss an important switch or some order of operations wich is twisted. I don't know. :/

    Hmm. I´m playing F-16 "The balkans campaing". There I have put on "unrestrictred satnav". The datalink "sync" is "fine". But those time settings are all on off, and not any time shown in there. Still it seems to be working. What does this mean. And what happens if I put i them on? (dont see any change, but I´m really a noob with what comes to f-16 itself so...) What does this mean? Is it just correlated to mission itself? (does btw that satnav include also datalink stuff?)
