DCS Hawk by VEAO
• Controls indicator now shows with RCtrl+Enter
• Weapons selector has been fixed
• Flaps and gear down now affect flight model
• Rudder yaw sensitivity has been tweaked
• Aden gun pod texture added
Known DCS F-5E bugs and inconsistencies:
• IDLE RPM (Thrust) vs altitude. IDLE thrust too big at altitude.
• Damaged aircraft without one wing sink smoothly.
• No spin after tail slide. According to TO, when tailsliding with pitch > 70 degrees the plane should enter inverted spin.
• Choсks animation linked to canopy animation on net phantom
• Turn perfomance at 5000ft. Sustained turn curve has no step on 330 KIAS.
• No compressor stall and flameout.
• Max lift g-loads. According to TO at 5000 ft and GW 13750 the F-5 can achieve 6.0 G at M = 0.5. In simulator the plane can achieve 6.6 at M=0.5 and 7.1 at M = 0.52.
• Pitch down input is too abrupt due to absence of half of the axis. stick fwd movenent is less, than aft, but the scale of joystick-virtual stick is the same for aft and fwd movement.
• Missing missile excess-G marker on LCOSS.
• Gunsight mode A/A1 works incorrect.
• AIM-9 seeker FOV is very narrow.
• RWR sound issues. No sounds are present for new radar sources
• Only one attempt to lock-on after ACQ button release in radar search mode.
• Radar elevation controls stop working after target lock is broken.
• Lock gate cannot be controlled after severl mode switches.
