  1. But is the deceleration in the graph caused by drag or because motor just flames out ? I have the impression first (short) part of flight is not draggy?
  2. I'm not disputing this, I guess the rapid deceleration that you show in the graph is caused by the motor not burning long enough? On the other hand I do not believe Magic 2 is same generation as AIM-9M, it might actually have shorter legs but who knows, and probably not as short as it shows to be in your graph. Hopefully they can adjust that.
  3. From what range do you fire? I have no problems at all with the magic, they seem to "bite" quite good, but I shoot in a dogfight, from close range, from about 1 - 1,5 km, in pursuit. I'm not sure the real missile has so much longer legs as in game, but it could. Any improvement is always welcome, but at least off-line against AI it does the job for me right now.
  4. So, to sum up, the facts are: 1/ the source is not Dassault. 2/ the tables are for 15k, not SL. 3/ the charts are for Mirage 2000-5, not Mirage 2000-C. I have no time for this, I'm going to fly the Mirage :=)
  5. The Mirage is already a very good dogfighter I find! There is nothing wrong with the Magic 2 missiles, just go close enough to the bandit. Also, the Mirage can turn very sharp but is not that good in sustained turn, so you have to calculate your manoevre carefully and not keep circling around. You'll find it to be powerful and fast. For the moment I find it the ideal sparring partner for the Mig-21.

    DCS M2000C ILS

    Very nice ILS implementation indeed!!! The synth runway is great!

    DCS M2000C ILS

    There is this table with ILS freqs and runways, there are more recent ones also I believe: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/600867/

    Radar IFF

    Just put labels on then, problem solved :=) No just joking, I understand you need it in MP.

    Radar IFF

    I'm a bit puzzled by this question: how can Razbam implement IFF since it is not supported in the DCS game? You need two to play that game, how can Razbam modify all the other aircraft so that they respond (or not) to an IFF query? According to what protocol ? People seem to be mistaking a game element from Lockon that still lives on in former Lockon aircraft with a credible IFF implementation. Of course IFF would be a very interesting addition to DCS, but it doesn't seem to me up to Razbam on their own to solve this issue. ED should provide an IFF framework, which is far from evident. Maybe they did it in the mean time and I'm not aware of it? See older threads such as http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=89801
  10. I'm very happy with the Mirage, it has everything I like: speed, manoevrability, good looks, rockets (big fan of those), cannon, a couple of heaters ... what do you want more? Very nice skins also! The Super 530 is also a nice missile, very cool addition to the game, it needs practice to get the perfect shot.
  11. In the DCS updater page there is some explanation on how the syntax allows you to move from an Openbeta version to a release version: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030
  12. Do not try to shoot from too far, the 530 is not the most modern missile, I fire at less than 4 miles head on, let's say even 3 miles, tail on I only shoot from about 2.5 miles or so. But the Mirage has all that it takes to get close to the bandit, which makes it all the more fun!
  13. Business Insider 15 best photos of F-35 in 2015 http://uk.businessinsider.com/these-are-the-15-best-photos-of-the-f-35-from-2015-2015-12?r=US&IR=T
  14. To rephrase the question: will the updater automatically update 1.2 tot 1.5 release version or will the 1.5 Openbeta installation itself automatically update to 1.5 release version ? Just to know whether we keep the 1.2 on our disks for now or not.
  15. Absolutely super, enjoying it!!
  16. Killed my first Mig with a Magic missile! Now reading the manual! :=)
  17. Even more impressive is that already 154 F-35's have been delivered today, that have flown >40.000 hours with amazingly few mishaps. Together with the F-22 this makes the US flying more 5th generation fighters today than most airforces have fighters whatsoever. http://yhoo.it/1m95k3H https://www.f35.com/about/life-cycle/testing
  18. A golden oldie ...
  19. I put an inexpensive Asus GT740 in my reserve PC and it is good for DCS 1.5.2 on medium settings, very playable with all visual effects and still good framerate. I had a GT220 in that older PC and that still worked surprisingly well with DCS 1.2.16 but was not good enough for 1.5.2.
  20. Yes, the background terrain is just to "hot", certainly when switching to IR the vehicles should stand out way more. I do not feel that brightness/contrast buttons are of any decisive help.
  21. S-400 seems to make the case for F-35: http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/russia-grounds-us-jets-in-syria/ar-BBnKk4e?li=AA9SkIr&ocid=spartandhp
  22. The command line method worked, many thanks!

  24. In attach my logs. So what happened? I had 1.2.16 on that PC, I installed previously the openbeta and uninstalled it. Yesterday I installed the Openbeta again, it updated to the latest version 1.5.2.48162. I go to the module management and choose the A-10C and FC3 to install. It starts installing those, but I immediately notice it only seems to copy the A-10C files from my 1.2.16 install. Once in 1.5.2.48162, the FC3 module is NOT installed and doesn't any longer appear in the Modules list. I still have sufficient activations. Now that it isn't even in the Modules list, I'm stuck. What is the command line method? Logs.zip
  25. I cannot install FC3 in the latest 1.5.2 patch: it just doesn't appear in the modules list?
