I'ld love to see Yo-Yo tackle the FM of the F-4 Phantom, the plane that can fly sideways!

Works! Many Thanks!

Can you do this when setting the TGT UFC in the JDAM Mission page? It doesn't seem to ask me for TTHOU ?

What a beauty!

Is it a feature or a bug that the R-3S missile just drops from the launcher when you pull G's for a while? While dogfighting I realize I often just lose my missiles before being able to deploy them.

Really cool! Thanks for sharing!

Yes you are right I think I see the problem: I shot from too far, and so the bullets took a curved trajectory. So it is accurate and not too high as I erroneously thought!

Coudl it be something recent? I do not remember to have had this issue before, but now really, in the latest Open Beta version, it aims consistently too high. Or do I do something wrong? I tried both in nAV mode as well as with RADAR on?

I confirm, I have the same problem with the AKAN. In my case in AG. I did put the correct QFE, but the pipper aims way too high.

I remember reading somewhere that F-35 pilots had gloves without the fingertips. Could this be the case?

I did turn the volume knob up of course, but still: it is absolutely strange that the idle sound is louder than the very faint lock tone. And even with the knob fully in the open position, it is not loud enough. (Anyway it is no showstopper for me to enjoy the excellent F-5E ! )

Is it me, but I find it very strange that the missile lock tone is so faint! I simply cannot hear it, it is totally overshadowed by the cockpit noises and much, much more silent than the normal missile tone. I there a mod with increased volume somewhere? Could be my age, after a while you can hear lower tones better than higher ones, but honestly, this one is inaudible. I now shoot when I *don't* hear a tone anymore, but before you realize you loose some vital seconds!

Hello Stefan, To directly answer your original question: as I fly both (and both are among my most favourite aircraft), I would buy the A8. This is the A/G aircraft you want; Both models are very refined and of high quality, and even though the A8 is still recent and not yet finished, I do not have that impression at all while flying. Both fly very well and I did not encounter any specific bugs or missing things in the A8. Just my opinion!

The bomb drop function is fixed, so I don't see the issue. I enjoy the Anton very much in air-to-ground (at least in the open beta release). When did I fly Anton/Dora last ? Today actually, like the days before.

Well I fly both just because they are just such a joy to fly and look at! The FW-190 is a truly brilliant design and certainly one of the designs that made warbirds one of the pinnacles of aviation history. The Dora is primarily meant to intercept high flying bombers and fend of their escort, so if you like to fly high, it might be your pick. As already mentioned in many posts, the A8 is mainly for ground attack. Another thing that you should consider is the difference in engines. The Anton is the only plane with a radial engine currently in DCS. And to be honest a radial engine is a must have experience. The Junkers Jumo 213 V12 is of course also a superb engine with more power, but you might have excellent V12's already if you own any of the other WWII birds.

it's OK I finally managed, as Ala13_ManOWar said it had to do with a misleading viewpoint, I didn't flare enough but actually pointed nose down. By keeping an eye on the ADI I managed to do the correct flare. Once I got the trick it's fairly easy.

What is the correct landing horizontal/vertical speed of the Anton ? I have no problems with the Dora etc. and can take-off easily in the Anton, but landing, most of the time I bounce all over the place!

There is an arab saying that "trust comes on foot and leaves on a horse". Boeing is learning the hard way that in this age trust leaves by plane instead! It is not overreacting but just sensible caution to ground the planes until we know more after 350 people die in the span of 4 months.

For the current crash it is too early to speculate, but on the Indonesia crash I feel this article might have some merit: https://slate.com/technology/2019/03/ethiopian-air-crash-where-did-boeing-go-wrong-with-the-737-max.html There is a case to make the larger engines changed the natural balance of the 737, but of course we cannot know if it has anything at all to do with teh Ethiopian crash, could be completely unrelated. I fly a lot (as a passenger) and I must confess I would feel very uneasy to board a 737 MAX today. We need more clarity.

Since the latest Open Beta patch I have a weird discoloration of the HUD glass (see image). I have this on two PC's. I use NVidia cards.

Didn't read the thread yet but I can be short: YES to the SLUFF in DCS!

Naval attack capabilities delayed?

In the past when you click in the ME on the symbol in the midst of the runway of an airfield, you got detailed airfield info with tower, ndb etc Now the symbol is gone and when I click on an airfield I get warehouse info?

That howling sound!!!! Must have been posted here already years ago but man we want that sound in DCS!!!!
