Updates/Corrections to ALR-56M RWR Training Missions covering F-16C 2022 improvements. Fixed: FCR CATA movement during bank angle. Fixed: AGM-65 boresight alignment accuracy. If boresighting a Maverick to the Targeting Pod on the ground, you must first set the GND JETT switch to ENABLE and the Master Arm switch to ARM or SIMULATE. As much as possible, boresight directly ahead of the aircraft and at least 1 nm away to avoid parallax errors. Fixed: FPM doesn't act as expected with Drift Cut Out selected. Fixed: Rudder pedals animation is incorrect. Fixed: Erratic Active Timer when using DTT SAM. Fixed: Changing Modes in DGFT Mode breaks lock. Fixed: TGP A-A Mode does not return to -3 elevation in front of the aircraft. Fixed: FCR symbology error when locking recently re-spawned aircraft. Fixed: Fuel leak rate after damage.

Fixed: CRUS EDR page is incorrectly calculating time to Bingo. Fixed: Preset VHF FM frequency in ME adds a digit on COMM 2 DED page. Instant Action Missions Update. [h3]DCS: F/A-18C Hornet by Eagle Dynamics[/h3] Fixed: Potential crash when pressing the TDC. Updates/Corrections to ALR-67 RWR - https://youtu.be/UQI40xib78s Added Pilot Salute for humans.

Fixed: The Free Air Temperature gauge should not have backlighting. Fixed: The standby Magnetic Compass lighting should be controlled by STBY INST knob. Fixed: HMD Grayscale page coop synchronisation. Fixed: BACK SCATTER message should have a space. Instant Action Missions Update. [h3]DCS Ka-50 Black Shark 3 by Eagle Dynamics[/h3] Tuned INS alignment process. Manual alignment precision is now much higher and close to the hot start and auto-alignment precision. Autopilot auto-turn won't be dependent on INS anymore. It only aims for decreasing Shkval deviation from zero (for all roll angles). Fixed a bug of wrong switching from inertial mode to ADC after 60 minutes of inertial mode work. Hot start INS alignment precision made it a bit worse to match a cold start manual INS alignment precision. Remade INS alignment options and settings in mission editor. 3D. Corrected nose textures. 3D. Rotor blades animation corrected. 3D. Motion blur of rotors head corrected. 3D. Added night texture of external cockpit model. Cockpit. R-828 texture ambient occlusion corrected. VR. Add the option to choose HMS render eye. Startup sounds updated. Renamed cockpit hints for HSI knobs. ABRIS. The English ABRIS charts setup shows two Russian items - fixed. [h3]DCS: Mi-24P Hind by Eagle Dynamics[/h3] Fixed: Mirrors and thermometer are not seen in external view. Fixed: Aiming station - zoom IN / OUT binds not working. Fixed: Rotor shaft animation . [h3]DCS: F-86F Sabre by Eagle Dynamics[/h3] Fixed: the V-8 slaved directional (gyro) indicator can not be rotated with the mouse. Fixed: Ammunition capacity error - ammo changed to 300 rounds per gun. [h3]DCS: F-5E Tiger II by Eagle Dynamics[/h3] Fixed:TACAN / ADF directional arrow remains fixed and does not rotate. Fixed: EGT reaches nearly 800c at start up. [h3]DCS: A-10A by Eagle Dynamics[/h3] Added PBR textures, made some fixes. [h3]DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer by Eagle Dynamics[/h3] Minor fix to textures of both aircraft. A-10C. Position lights don't flash. Fixed. A-10C II. Position lights remain when the wing is destroyed. Fixed Note: It is our plan to release ARC-210 radio with UHF and VHF functions in the February 2023 update. DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX by Eagle Dynamics Oil temperature gauge now shows the actual OAT on cold aircraft. Oil and coolant temperatures are tuned according to real WWII in flight tests (WIP). [h3]DCS: Mosquito FB VI by Eagle Dynamics[/h3] Added new single player missions without units from the WWII Assets pack. [h3]DCS: Mirage F1 by Aerges[/h3] Added Mirage F1EE. Including new ALR-300 RWR, air to air refuelling and Inertial Navigation System. FM: Slight adjustment (reduction) in low supersonic drag. Slight reduction of drag coefficient at subsonic speeds to better match the performance data. Reduced payload supersonic drag. Adjusted Magic, SW and SAMP 400 drag coefficients. Rolling moment induced by external payload lift now accounted for. Improved wake behaviour (reduced influence on the roll of the aircraft). Slight increase in lateral stability at high aoa to better match SME feedback. Control system: Default neutral point of non-FFB sticks changed to increase pitch-up zone, thus reducing sensitivity in pitch and increasing usable stick range in most situations. Modified internal pitch curve (AMEDEE system). Pitch is now less sensitive at high deflection values. Reduced effects of ARTHUR and Dashpot systems (stick force emulation) on pitch control. Now the ARTHUR and Dashpot model can be toggled in the Special Options menu. Flight controls now require hydraulic pressure to move. Rudder trembling problem solved. Adjusted nose wheel steering curves to make it both more responsive and easier to control (still WIP). Engine: Flying backwards or having significant tail wind with RPM below 7000 might turn the engine off. Moving the throttle to idle before the RPM are above 300 may lead to fire or over-temperature due to accumulation of fuel faster than before (IMPORTANT). Engine stall can now be caused by moving the RPM back and forth too fast or engaging the afterburner at very high AoA or outside the flight envelope. Engine stall RPM oscillations are now less severe. Engine temperature in overspeed corrected to what is indicated in the manuals (<= 735 ºC). Engine starter sound starts 2 seconds earlier than before. Throttle is clickable now near idle detent position. When clicked it is set to idle cut-off position. Radar: Radar cover keyboard/joystick command will not take effect anymore when the radar cover add/remove function is disabled (aircraft is not on the ground, or canopy is closed). Removed sound from the radar cover clickable action. Radar antenna elevation/altitude difference function is fixed. Altitude difference is correctly updated now when a target is tracked. Radar strobe is now positioned at the last known target azimuth/range when the target track was lost. The radar tracked target closing velocity (relative velocity) scale is correctly calibrated now in the range of -450 to 1800 knots, with the gap of -150 to 0 knots. Fixed radar antenna orientation when scanning with nonzero delta elevation set. Fixed 1 line scan antenna orientation. Adjusted antenna local scan origin position. Fixed the radar TL mode scan center position (-5 degrees from FRL), and TL scan area size - it was too wide. Radar strobe position is now shown in IDN even when a target is not locked. Fixed radar elevation digits texture issues. Other features and improvements: Added Matra S530F ‘Supermatra’ missile. FFB sticks are now automatically detected by the code. Armament panel lights brightness is now regulated by light/day switch and rheostat. Armament panel light on/off is now dependent on sight being on. Reduced maximum light brightness of indicators in night mode. Updated controls indicator stick axes display: pitch trim position is added to the stick pitch position. AWACS 'Declare' command is functional now. Fixed Radio Selector Panel pushbuttons not holding in 'pushed' position, when activated by keyboard or joystick. Added the option to load empty fuel tanks at mission start. Corrected fuel tank masses. Fixed maximum fuel weights of F1EE, and F1B/BE AI. Added general and particular gyroscope failures. Backup horizon will be caged now once the cage knob is pulled, disregarding the knob rotation. Adjusted braking power. Brake light now illuminates always when braking (not only when the gear is up). Brake nominal pressure now has the correct value of 210 bar. Fixed CADS not affecting autopilot, ARTHUR and shock-cones (“souris”) behaviour. Updated liveries. Improved cockpit darkness. Auto startup sequence: Added the item "Ejection handle safety pin - Removed (out of sequence)". Auto shutdown sequence: Added "Ejection handle safety pin - Installed (out of sequence)". Fixed "UHF radio - Off" and "V/UHF radio - Off". Documentation: Added Mirage F1 Flight Manual (CE + EE annex). Added Mirage F1CE Manual de Vuelo (CE translation into Spanish). Missions: Added Mirage F1EE Single Player and Instant Action missions for all maps except Normandy and The Channel.
