Flanker has two dedicated spots under the wings where 2 R-27T/ET missiles are usually carried and the fuselage station can carry R/ER variants only. So, it's not a case of mixed seeker load on the same pylons..

Great news, thanks for sharing here @dali. Looking great!

Hi Ironhand, great to hear you are enjoying the Fulcrum. Thank you for the kind words.

If you can remove the mods and replicate the crash without them, that would be excellent (or bad, you know what I mean ).

No AA as MSAA doesn't work properly, NIS and FSR look worse than no AA

What did I do to remove crosshair (and point track box) when I enabled XR in TV mode? I still had it in IR mode and regular TV mode, it would just disappear in TVXR mode. Pressing TMS down long only declutters while held, but I lost it completely and couldn't get it back. I just checked the manual to see if there was a declutter toggle that I may have used by accident, but the only declutter it mentions is the one while holding TMS down.

It took a week to download the update and get the MiG installed but I finally have it. All I can say is "Wow!" Just had time to take her up for a quick circuit around Senaki. The takeoff handling is extremely smooth. And it's handling on landing was even better. With a bit less than the 60% fuel I took off at and 2 AAMs on the wings, she touched down at 260 km/hr, just as she should. Wonderful. Now I just need to find the time to learn this machine.

Yes... it's not perfect.. none of the options are ... but ... it provides the most consistent visibility ...

Just the herc and the blackhawk, and twitch2dcs, nothing too fancy

I tried a few options last night and they all suck MSAA flickering, DLAA smearing trails off treetops etc. I wonder if having a Quest 3 doesn't help as I'm also having to take into account video encoding issues as well.... Probably go back to DLAA and 2pixel dots - would that be bigger/better or worse than auto though?

Your dcs.log would indeed be great! If you find a valid track file in Saved Games\DCS\Tracks\LastMissionTrack.trk, that might also help (if it's too big for the forum, you could use Google Drive/OneDrive etc and just post the link to the uploaded file here). Do you run any mods in your DCS? TacView, SRS and a few other super common mods should be fine, but flyable modules, texture and sound mods have caused all sorts of problems in the past and in very unexpected areas. If you have any mods or leftovers, removing them might be worth a try, along a DCS Repair from the launcher.

I wish that were true. Evidently, it is not, given that almost all third parties do not use Leap. Only partially the Kiowa and the Phantom (which recently implemented it). I made a request to the Heatblur developers to implement it in Tomcat, but the response was that it is not so trivial and they would have to remodel many things (I hope in the F-14UB). Just to clarify, when I talk about implementation, I mean that by setting Leap with the No pointer option from the Use Pointer menu, you can interact naturally with levers and buttons without having to make strange movements with your hands to simulate the controllers.

Hmm... not sure what you mean under OB... I thought ED got rid of the OB branch. Maybe I missed something. Basically, DCS version is not relevant as the tool changes one SimShaker for Aviators file only in the SimShaker for Aviators installation folder. The tool supports both SimShaker for Aviators beta and stable versions.

Is there any known Mig 29A variant known to fly or have flown with the NS430 we have in DCS? The nav/radio addon I see online is from a different type. Example is from a Polish AF Mig 29. Seems like a split (left + right) installed device. Thanks, Wiwa

Great to see the release! Looking forward to playing it. Best thing about this type of campaign is that each time the player plays them, they can be different. Flaming Sunrise is great too. Now how about one for the Kola map? It's a tremendous amount of work I know, but one can always hope.

Already reported bug. Like you say, works in single player but not on multiplayer. Cheers Edit: darn, can't find the right thread but I'm sure it has been reported...

This text, however, mentions the flanker. But regarding mixed seekers and BVR, it says the following: "A competent Flanker driver gets the first shot with three or four round salvo of long burn R-27 variants, with mixed seekers, leaving one or two remaining salvoes of BVR missiles on his rails" So, can we not rule out the possibility that it exists? The question is, is this something only used by the Russian Air Force? Or also in other countries that use the R-27 variants? For example, India? And was this possible with our FF Mig-29A?

Спарку такую с 2009-го Гугл показывает, а одноместный от 2016 года нашёл, например.

Aircraft external lights being kinda "broken" for gameplay purposes has been a thing since the first version of DCS afaik. It's one of those very unfortunate things that hold the DCS night environment back by a lot despite being a relatively easy fix. I've made a lot of bug reports and wishlist entries about it already. Maybe upvvote, like, comment on it in order to get ED's attention. Despite the topic's headline it also covers AI aircraft light settings.

Thankyou will try that later

In helmet mode radar doesn't work outside 10km range (no ranging nor stt)

Software -> Optional -> SimShaker Mods Support Gear

It's universal like a Huey. Although it started development and some production during end of the Cold War, most of its life it's NATO helicopter and spread worldwide, not a WarPac. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZL_W-3_Sokół#Operators

This would be such a cool addition! I wanted to post this myself. The intensity of the vibrations, the shaking of instruments and tilting of mirrors, the muzzle flash (especially at low light) would definitely add to the experience. If ED thinks it's too much, or ruining the game experience, they could just add an option for it in the special options menu. Here are a few more videos independently showing the same effect. The tilting mirror seems to be the norm, not the exception. Notice how always the right mirror moves (probably the vibrations through the canopy frame are locally hitting its resonance frequency).

Checked, it matches!
