Hi! Has anyone else been experiencing stutters when the sniper pod renders an XR image, after the last hotfix update? I’ve done a slow repair to no avail. Any suggestions? Thank you

Comm shouldn't work on a military aircraft. Remember, the GPS offers non-encoded transmission, which isn't ideal for a military force to be using. Basic navigation, coordinate verification, altering of flight plans, extended flight plans (more waypoints than what the onboard INS can handle/was designed for (6 maximum)), SA (have a basic map with airports/VOR and other points of interest mapped, an additional (and reliable) navigation aid, +++. It's actually quite a lot, depending on how creative you are, and how realistic you wish to go.

This has been an off and on issue for many years espeically with the normal antiship harpoons where they will just go off in completely different directions between clients or client-server. We've stopped using them in vCSG-3 at this point because of it.

When AUTO INT is turned off interrogations will only be run on the L&S automatically. But if you're setting the friendly as L&S them there may be an issue with outside of STT. Will do my own testing. I do have to ask tho, are you playing with Link-16 not turned on? This would be the only time a problem like this would turn up for friendly aircraft that i see.

My pleasure!

I know, but so far the mig29 is flying as intended. I remember watching a documentary about dogfights during Desert Storm, that either Captain Cesar Rodriguez or Captain Craig Underhill said that they were always told not to engage in a dogfight with a MIG-29. So far, the F-4s I've encountered at close range haven't had a chance to escape!

You're awesome someone! [emoji1] [emoji1303] Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

I'm aware, but there is no ETA.

Wrong in all aspects. Those nations have a different approach to the resolution of aerial combat. IF, we consider all aspects in each given system, then the following applies: - The radar capability between F-15A and Su-27 are somewhat mixed. F-15A has more modes, and they somewhat more advanced digital suite, whereas Su-27 has the sheer size and power. This is actually a very nuanced topic, as it all depends and what conditions the radars operate in (ECM, range, altitude, meteorological conditions (wet/rain, clouds, etc...)). This topic is too expansive to be written about in a couple of sentences. It is widely regarded, and rightfully so, that the aircraft had very simmilar, yet different capabilites. The difference lie in the approach. What you fail, however to understand, is that Flanker/Fulcrum (and going all the way back to pre- MiG-21/Su-7, the Soviets "demanded" reliance on GCI for better strategic picture. As such, the Su-27 had datalink, when the F-15A (even C) had none. Question about radar - Soviets relied on GCI and AWACS heavily, that was before US really got into AWACS as a support element, properly. Hence, when you compare Su-27/MiG-29 to whatever, it is both what is on the aircraft, as well the GCI supporting the aircraft (they can tell the pilot when missiles are launched, what maneuvers to make in different situations and guide the missiles for the fighter, +++). US aircraft simply don't have those capabilities at the time we are talking about. - Relating to the above, SA is the whole situational awarness picture, not only what your radar shows. Tell me, who has hypothetically the better SA; the US pilot with his radar/RWR, or the Soviet pilot with radar/RWR/GCI/datalink?! This answers itself... It's often not taught of, but with a competent GCI, the western pilot would go up against two (pilot + dedicated GCI operator), and that's two heads vs. one. That alone, should put one on edge. - Again, you write in too broad terms. What specific AIM-7? What specific R-27? In history, there is always a cat and mouse game with whoever has the newest tech, is the king only until someone else develops something better. If you wish to be objective, then you won't chose to mention F-16 until it got BVR missiles, as before that, it was the underdog in just about every way to the MiG-29 (e.g.). Forgetting even the (often stupid) notion of dogfight. In real combat, if doctrine would be followed on both sides, F-15 would meet both Su-27s as well as MiG-25s. MiG-25's dynamic field of interception and missiles (R-40R/T) would pose serious problems for F-15s. I'm not even counting the different ground installations (AAA/SAM) which would plague both sides.

Thank you for this even more in-depth reply!

I would love such a feature. For me personally it would be sufficient if the implementation would be "gamified" to some degree. For example with hit feedback through the DCS UI (overlays). So whenever you fired a captive training missile, or fired your gun in training mode, the sim would calculate the projectiles "virtually" and display results in an overlay for both shooter and target. Surely useful and fun for immersive training dogfights.

Well, the solution to your problem either way is to fly at the minimum speed (100kph) required to launch multiple rockets.

Quick reminder that "that other modern combat sim" renders ext aircraft light out to 40 miles or so. (At least that's what I've read - my aging pc cannot properly run it). ED, please fix!

The missing feature is already reported. I'll bump the report right away.

Words fail to describe this incredible work. All that's missing is Amiens Prison to make it even more perfect!

Thank you! Any plans for a SU-7

This is incredible! What an outstanding map. I started with flight sims with sky=blue and ground=green. Now look how far we've come! Amazing! Thanks UGRA for your effort and dedication.

Can you share your mission (.miz) we can take a look and see if we can help.

You got document page?

Actually, NS 430 is just GNS 430 - with the "G" for "Garmin" removed. It's this exact system: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/82/ As to your original question, I haven't personally seen any MiG-29 flying with the GNS 430. With that said, there are far fewer cockpits recorded, than the total amount being flown. Also, you'll find a plethora of other GPS systems, some mounted like our NS 430, others to the side of the HUD (mobile GPS) or really anywhere in the cockpit. In terms of functionality and what information you are provided, it's fully realistic. In particular in the former eastern bloc, you'd see differences between squadrons and what they've been able to get their hands on for cheap. Commercial products have become more and more normal in the military overall. You'll often see western pilots use e.g. tablets (commercial) with military software installed. Typically, branding is removed, but hardware untouched.

Береза перестает информировать о панцире, который приготовился к пуску. Уйти от него не получается никак. Быстрые ракеты, от которых не помогает ни уход к земле, ни слепые курсовые углы, что модно зовутся «ночь». При этом F-16 легко срывает захват свей ECM на время, достаточное для противоракетного маневра.

I assume you're talking about button bindings. They seem to be bugged, I only manage to get two positions when I use them. This and double controls are now reported. Thank you.

Да, конечно включал лазер. Без лазера и просто с пикирования сильно мажет. Возможно, при бомбометании из под капота нужно выдерживать строго горизонт с постоянной скоростью, чего я не делал. Возможно, поднастроят. Возможно, надо потренироваться. ФЗ.

если делать полную выстовку навигации, то после перевода тублера в положение работа, не должна никакая лампа загореться?
