One does not equal the other

Not really. Just did a high altitude test with the 29A and F1CE - both with two heaters and a centerline tank plus pylons. The route: Pferdsfeld - Jadebusen - Damgarten -due south- Erzgebirge - Pferdsfeld. MiG-29A flew at 40.000ft and Mach 0.85 (~250KIAS). F1CE flew at 34.000ft and Mach 0.9 (~300KIAS) - the F1 can't go much higher without blowing the alternators below 300KIAS. MiG-29 started up with 10.000lbs of fuel and landed with about 2750lbs => 27.5% fuel remaining F1CE started up with 9370lbs of fuel and landed with 3770lbs => again about 40% fuel remaining The gap closes somewhat in relation to the numbers at low altitude, but that's also with the F1 flying 6.000ft lower and 0.05 Mach (~50KIAS) faster. While the fuel economy improves a lot at high altitude, the 29 is not a range wonder up there either.

The switch I believe is like the coop switch. It's either TWF "on or off" if using the radar. Or it's FHS or RHS if using the IRST sensor. The coop switch is labeled the same way.

I would assume this would be sold as a seperate module based on how different it is, but i think it could work very well! Some Redfor naval planes are always needed allthough i would prefer some variant of the Flanker to be the next Full Fidelity redfor Aircraft to tackle

I had a similarish problem and "trimer - reset" fixed me up. Hope it works for you dude

It seems pretty straight forward to me when I use it. TWF FHS will enable the track-while-fly that tracks the computed highest threat target. Selecting TWF to the RHS turns off TWF. It's like the coop switch that has seperate functions. Coop mode on-off, and low drag and high drag bombs depending on the position, while this switch also covers 2 different functions TWF on or off when using the radar, or FHS and RHS if using the IRST sensor. TWF can work in the auto, head on, and pursuit mode. If you want to lock the target you still press and hold the lock button, or you wait till your in weapons range where it will auto lock if your in TWF. Currently I use it to reduce work load a bit, and to help lock, or to see if a contact is real or just a false contact.

You sure your AWACS isn't just giving you distance and altitude in metric system? By your description sounds like it. Russians use metric system in aviation, unlike any bluefor nation

Mi-2 Any version.

Ah good point, I keep forgetting to post weapon issues to the ED general forum as well. Thanks for the reminder. I'll report to there too.

It's a know issue why no fix.And not see this on change logs page.

You need to assign it to anything but the spacebar. The spacebar and the backspace are reserved by ED for user input, which is used in my campaigns.

This seems to be way more of an issue on the current contention server. Not sure if it is a scripting thing but playing 80S blue flag the SPO-15 is mercifully quiet in comparison. For some reason on contention everything including on your side is locking you basically at all times it seems. 80's blue flag you also are able to cold start the plane properly, so I wonder if most of the issues are currently due to specific problems on the contention server right now related to the new release.

is player controlled doorgunners on the UH60 roadmap? amazing work always!

Even if you load a Tomcat mission before and select the TCS? -Load any Tomcat mission -Select TCS (blank) - Exit - Continue the campaign BTW you can load them directly from the missions menu, but again please report to Heatblur, they’re the one who need to fix this

Hmm. There seems there is an interface between Radar Modes/PRF and the position of the TWF switch. If you are head on with the radar mode switch in High PRF and the TWF switch in FHS you get TWF . If you are head on with the radar mode switch in High PRF and the TWF switch in RHS the radar remains in Range while search. So if you want to stay in RWS it seems the TWF switch must be in the opposite position (PRF wise) to the current Radar mode selected PRF. Vice versa as well. In addition something I have noticed is PRF selection changes the shape of the Acq cursor in the HUD. there are 2 thickness rectangles that change with PRF selection. AUTO (Intl PRF) = Thick Rectangle HEAD ON (High PRF) = Thin Rectangle Pursuit (Med PRF) = Square A square ACQ box does NOT indicate TWF. For instance if you have RDR mode head on (High PRF) with TWF switch in FHS you still get the thin rectangle that snaps to the highest threat target.

who voiced the pilot in this campaign?

It’s way past midnight where I live, and I’m about to go to bed, but if it helps I can check tomorrow in my profiles and let you know what exactly is different in my F-4 and MiG-29 profiles. I have a “up to third gen jet” profile which I use for the F-4, Mirage F1 and as you might have guessed, all other jets up to third gen. For MiG-29 I use my “fourth gen non-FBW” profile, which I also use for F-15E for example.

Likely an ED topic. The tone is based on the signal strength reported through the DCS SDK. This part of the Sidewinder logic is controlled by ED. (I personally dont know enough about the weapon to comment on this being correct behavior or not)

yes, I have tried. same result you are right and maybe onto something though. Because If I use a FFB profile that I use with the F-4, the AFCS test moves the stick (physically, in game and IRL , but only back and left). If I use a Mig-29 profile I created , based on the F-4 profile but with only 60% of the force applied, then the stick doesnt move at all. So clearly the FFB software and certain settings are influencing that AFCS test and its failure. I think I will create a profile with NO effects at all, and try the AFCS test. if that works, i can always switch to profile for flying afterward (I can easely switch profiles in game)

My suspicion is that the the AFCS test uses the trim system in the background. That’s why I brought it up: if something interferes with trim forces somehow, it may prevent the test from successfully completing. But perhaps I’m mistaken. Did you try trimming to neutral and then hitting the AFCS OFF switch on the stick, as the training mission suggests in case of test failure? I had no issues with other modules either, but trimming in the F-4 felt weird until I fixed the settings I was referring to, and it also helped the F-14. In fact, it even made some helicopters easier to fly.

Great! Thank you.

another video preview.

Я лично на нем не летают потому что производительность в VR заднем месте. Проще на мишке полетать.

To be honest I believe he had a lot on his dance card. There were also rumors of Blackhawks and Eurocopters. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
