I'm back in the Strike Eagle but I brought company this time! Mondo strapped on a Strike Eagle to join the ground pounding action and Blaze is in the F-15C Eagle providing CAP while we are over Hama trying to rid it of enemy forces.
Make sure you stop by Mondo's KZbin channel for some amazing DCS cinematic videos!

I know those guys! Great video man! Cant wait to get back on the server. Great work with the editing on this one too 👍

[@StrIIker-TV]

Thanks! It’s always fun flying with you so I am looking forward to it as well. I was pleasantly surprised with the video. There were some sections with a lot of head movement which I need to watch for next time as it was quite excessive (when I was looking for the SAM site) and I hate forgetting to turn on the pilot body.

Love to see it! Can’t wait for our next one!

[@StrIIker-TV]

Thanks man! Was a blast!

You mentioned that stuttering at the end of your video and it caught my attention. I have that occasionally but i didnt know the AGR thing. I noticed that if I was in Auto mode, that switching to CDIP semmed to correct mine also but it might return when i went back to auto (50/50). I like your fix better because it seems permanent.

[@StrIIker-TV]

Yeah, AGR will kick in when you are in auto or when in CDIP and have the HUD in command. I need to double check the specific instances which trigger AGR. I did the same thing and swapped out of auto mode (I think I left it in auto mode or something when I was about to land for some reason). As I got lower while flying in the landing pattern, the stuttering started I at first thought it was OBS (the software I use to record the videos) so I stopped recording (which is why the end is all external shots from a track replay.. which I actually liked). The stuttering persisted so I fiddled with modes, probably turned on the air search radar and stuttering stopped (but I didn't know why). A day or so later, I was on a low level ingress for a loft attack and figured I'd enable AGR by taking command of the hud and immediately the stuttering started.. I quickly switched modes and then back to auto for the loft and all was fine for the attack (and I nailed the SAM site). I think I recorded that mission as well.. One possible solution is to decrease the core count dedicated to the radar in the Special settings for the Strike Eagle. I have mine maxed (I think it's 6?) but I have a beefy CPU so it SHOULD be fine. I might try decreasing it.

Okay so AGR kicks in automatically.. Here's the excerpt from the manual... The AGR mode provides slant range measurement for target altitude determination, target designation or position updates. This mode cannot be selected and is commanded automatically every time the CC determines that a slant range is necessary for proper designation or weapons delivery. It is worth noting that AGR mode interrupts other radar mode operations in progress and should be carefully monitored by the aircrew. These will be described in other sections of this manual, however below one can find a list of such instances: 1. During MAP / NAV AUTO weapon delivery in A/G Master Mode, slant range measurement is required for the last 15 seconds prior to weapon release. 2. During targeting pod designation when laser is not armed or not operational, the CC will use AGR provided that the radar was cued to the targeting pod LOS. To manually exit the AGR mode, the aircrew needs to take command of A/A or A/G radar display. However, this is not possible when slant range is being measured in AUTO weapon delivery as described in point 1.

Hey thanks! Greatly appreciate it.
