And how do you do a free trial?

I have a mission with random spawned enemy ground targets with a friendly AFAC (reaper drone) giving me locations. In that mix of random targets, there may be anti air (SA-6/13 etc) and a bunch of other stuff such as tanks. The AFAC sees them all, but it seems like anti air is the last thing he prioritises. Are there any ways to change this?

To report a bug you'll have to be very specific. "Doesn't accelerate that fast" is not very scientific approach, just a meaningless feeling, not worth looking into. I somehow doubt you'll be given exact flight data even if your friend is a real pilot. You'll need exact data points vs time containg ex. the TAS, current G, altitude, vertical speed (if not level), ambient temperature, aircraft loadout and fuel weight.

Radius 2km with center around the airfield symbol. For more information, check the airfield in the editor, it's visible there.

That's the way! [emoji1] 500+? Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Great information Razo+r - Is there any knowledge on how large that circle is, and where its center is ?

Oh, you got me at FFB mod, how expensive are we talking?

Genau das Ich nutze aktuell noch Win10 und weiß noch nicht was ich in 2 Wochen machen werde. Hat jemand Erfahrung mit der Nutzung von TrackIR unter Linux?

UPDATE: After doing a a repair, followed by deleting fxo and metashaders, the problem apparently vanished. It seems to be really quick with saving the missions now, and now crashes for 6-7 last attempts. Possible that there were some leftovers from former patch. In any case, consider it solved on my end.

А где доказательства правильности?

Hi, I launch my "RET" bomb on the trucks but it never blows off. I checked Flying Kenny YT video and do as he does (unless I miss something). What do I do wrong ?

They are a bit tricky to get sorted...Happy to help if you want

...and there is quality differences in dampers. Some have a quite pronounced direction-change "hole". The one I used to have had this issue more pronounced the stronger the damping was set. If you want the "best-of-the-best", use a motorcycle Steering Damper (a quality one obviously) or apply a FFB mod to your Crosswinds (expensive). But first try Max' suggestion. It'll probably improve the issue.

I let the engine warm up perfectly, neither at maximum nor at minimum. In my opinion, it's the oil pressure that renders the engine useless. I always activate the automatic prop pitch; it's mandatory for perfect coordination on DB6xx engines. We all know that without the automatic propeller system, it would be impossible to keep the engine in its perfect operating range without breaking the reduction gear or the propeller planetary gear system. I'll send you a video now. Thanks for answering

Generally speaking, it has to be remembered that when you listen to podcasts/interviews/documentaries/comments/etc... from active/former pilots, and a tactic that they used, you are listening to just someone operating in just one component of a whole air force/armed forces. Depending on how realisitic you wish to play it out, you may or may not have the same backup, that's to say an entire wing to help you out. With that out of the way, you should realize that at this point, you are asking yourself perform two missions at a time (first - bring down low an enemy aircraft, two - engage and neutralize it). If you are flying alone, there are easier ways to use the MiG-29 (and more efficient, as per capacity). Consider outmaching your target in altitude and speed. Use interceptor tactics. High and fast, give you extended range, higher kinetic potential energy for your missiles (x2, launch speed and altitude are both major factors for weapons range), higher energy if BVR turns into merge and also good capability to outrun an enemy missile with pure speed at that altitude. That's only one side of the coin, you. As to your enemy (which, again, depending on realism), will often (if a human pilot) be overweight with their F-16s, F-18s and definitely F-15s, will struggle to gain altitude like you. Often, the enemy pilot won't notice how slow they are moving, by trying to gain on you. A slow moving target, is an easy kill for you. This is a very safe tatic, and allows you to dictate the terms of the engagement, and turn away at a moments notice, should you feel that you are over-committing. The MiG-29 (if to imagine a single ship flight), is really a interceptor in pure AA. If you however still, are hellbent on running down in the weeds, that's all fair and square, but it is a tactic that puts you at a disadvantage, if not simulating real strategy (multi flights with all their tasks). As such, know that you don't, per se, need to have the enemy pulled down low. A known tactic, is to fly down low and fast, such that you negate a high-flying enemy any successful missile launches by pure rule of aspect. A missile will not hit much, if fire vertically down at an aircraft that keeps funneling and maneuvering. Consider the overspeed limits of an aircraft, and that it seldom can point straight down and go at high speed (beinding of wing, overspeeding of engines, destructive G-loads, etc...). You, on the other hand, can climb at a ridiculous rate (easily 10km altitude in under 1 minute if at speed), R-27 are incredibly good climbers. If you approach from straight down, you literally won't trigger the RWR of any aircraft in DCS, given the deadzones for RWR sensors at the belly and the back of a plane. The flight profile would be such that you keep 800km/h +++ (avoid afterburner, of course) at low altitude, push to just beneath your target. Continue by pulling hard up (90* vertical if need be) until you are close enough. Finish off by launching R-27/R-73, and head quickly back down, regaining momentum. Generally, you might wonder how long you will live by pulling up, at times behind enemy lines, however consider the time it takes for a pilot to first gain SA and update their mental projection of the battlefield (an aircraft popping up where no one was before/there are many own flights). Two; a potential shooter will have to IFF you. Finally; have his weapons/systems in check in order to engage you. Again, it takes determination (don't second guess, committ to it fully), but if you know what you are doing, those are lethal and quick engagements. Something I will point out with the second method (down low). Generally, if you are realistic about your flying, this would seldomly work in a contested area (in particular, behind enemy lines), as you have SAM sites, manpads, GCI and AWACS to worry about. In addition, if the coalition is even poor at cooperation, they will be able to eloquently deny you to enter their airspace without prior knowledge of you coming. Therefore, I'm pointing it out, that depending on the scenario/target/difficulty, flying down low for AA might not be optimal at all.

However, If you ever want to do pass-through for MIPs etc, you need to 512GB version as the others cannot do it. I'm doing this as I type this. Here because new headset messed up all my monitors

Da kannst Du wohl den Geldbeutel und Dein Bedürfnis an Konnektivität entscheiden lassen. Einen Performance-Vorteil bringt Dir der X-Chipsatz über dem B-Chipsatz nur dann (und auch nur vielleicht) wenn Du wirklich tief ins Overclocking einsteigen willst. Etwas, was sich m.E. heutzutage kaum noch lohnt. Persönlich habe ich gute Erfahrung mit Gigabyte (bzw. Aorus) MB gemacht, aber da gibt es wahrscheinlich drei Meinungen wenn Du drei Leute fragst. AMD AM5 ist aber auf jeden Fall eine gute Entscheidung. Intel muss erstmal viel verpsieltes Vertrauen zurückgewinnnen.

You probably need to refill/top it off with more oil. There instructions for how to do it on YT. Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Also die Empfehlungen gehen ganz klar für AMD. Gut... Dann hätte ich für mich den 7800dx3 ins Auge gefasst. Das gute ist wohl das AMD bei dem Sockel AM5 bleibt, somit kann man später mal upgraden, Intel wechselt bei jedem neuen Chip den Sockel, das nervt dann schon wenn das MB eine Sackgasse ist... Welchen Chipsatz auf dem MB empfiehlt ihr? B850, X870 oder X670? Fürs upgraden ist wohl ein X870 besser. Muss jetzt keine E-Version sein, Leistung ist wohl gleich nur das die E mehr Anschlüsse hat, hab ich so gelesen. Da ich ausser meiner Grafikkarte ein komplett neues System aufbaue muss ich jetzt nicht das teuerste vom teueren nehmen. Budgetlimit gibt es keines, ich muss es aber auch nicht übertreiben. Preis-Leistung muss schon passen, ein solides System für DCS wo ich auch in paar Jahren problemlos ein Upgrade mittels neuer CPU durchführen kann.

Hi, thank you for the post, we have reported this to the team already for checking. best regards bignewy

А как вы хотите чтоб юниты вели себя за радиусом предзагрузки? Их поведение хочешь - не хочешь придется обсчитывать используя тот же центральный процессор. Иначе они просто будут бултыхаться в памяти как переменные никак не взаимодействуя с миром окружающим и друг с другом. Боты в dcs и так по упрощенной скриптовой физике двигаются как раз для экономии ресурсов.

In this video both the master caution and the 550 KG fuel remaining warnings appear immediately upon going inverted. In our Fulcrum it takes over two minutes before it starts complaining.

Hi guys, I have the MFG crosswind with the official pedal damper mod. I've had it for years now and I love it, but I was wondering if I could improve it. I have kind of a dead zone in the damper, I'll explain myself better: this happens when I fly helos and I disengage the spring to have "free" pedals. When I move the pedals the first cm or so is undampened, then the damping action starts taking place; I've always had this problem but with time it feels it's getting worse. Is it a fault of the damper? Is it just a normal and expected behaviour? Thanks
