It is possible to get the system to give zero warning. I've included such a feature in one of the early versions of HDS. https://youtu.be/c9Z9S228Pcg?si=Q_YFxV2IeANqhTyj

That's hard to say, because I was pretty close and at a shorter than burnthrough range. I did not see any ECM strobe on scope while closing in, but the F-14 has been using EW on and off in this scenario over multiple runs so it's possible that it was on this specific time and that I simply didn't notice. I am aware that the R-27ER has an HOJ mode, but that doesn't seems to be the case here since I locked on a pure radar target, and not a strobe. Unless I misunderstood how HOJ works - which is possible since I've only used it a few times, and exclusively on the Su-27.

There's no active SAM scheme currently in the game, so every mod/asset pack adding ARH SAM have to use SARH or TVM.

Flying the MiG-29A, I encountered a situation where my R-27ER continued homing and destroyed an F-14 after I had been shot down by said F-14. At first, I suspected a lucky balistic flight, but the missile is actively pulling Gs and correcting even if target illumination stopped because I was hit by the Phoenix.

As someone said above, it's closer to the IR tracking bases used for some VR headsets - it's the same technology. TrackIR also uses IR tracking (shocker !), but it does not rely on mechanical tracking. See this high framerate IR video of an HTC Vive (= Steam VR) tracking base.

The VL MICA shares no commonality with the SAMP/T. If nothing else, it would make more sense to add the MICA to the Currenthill Asset Pack's IRIS-T SLS.

Yes, they're spinning prisms scanning the cockpit volume, looking for the helmet.

Hi all, I have looked for information on the forum but didn't find anything conclusive, do we know yet how the FF module will stack up in terms of sensor and platform performances compared to the FC3 29A ? From what I gathered here and there, the IRST is probably over performing in FC3 do to a larger FOV, but what about the radar (range, sensibility to ECM, etc) ? Same question for the plane itself: it's stated that the same EFM will be used, but was the engine modelling tweaked for instance ? Do we have to expect different aerodynamic behavior in some configurations ? Overall, can we expect the same kinematic capabilities as the FC3 module ? Thanks !

Yeah, I'd be still updating the mod if life hadn't kept me away from my computer for extended periods of time. It is what it is. I am happy that other people are stepping up and getting things done. That is up to you, it is your fork after all. My take on this is that the A15 is completely irrelevant as a ground based missile (which is why it doesn't exist and was never considered), whereas the Block 2 is an interesting what-if unit. I wouldn't lose sleep over the removal of the A15, but that's your decision to make. I'll see what I have @home. Yes. The ME (Module d'Engagement) is more capable than the ECS ever was; it basically combines the features of the ICC and ECS in a single vehicle. The MC is a command post for planification and multi-system coordination, it is not required to link the SAMP/T to L11/16/JREAP/ATDL-1 as the ME already has the required HW and SW.

Thank you for putting in the work that I wasn't able to. A few points: I don't know who added the Aster 15 to my SAMP/T, but there's no such thing as a land-based Aster 15. The SAMP/T is designed to use the Aster 30 Block 1 only. The SAMP/T NG (the upgraded system with the GF300) can use both the Aster 30 Block 1 and Block 1NT. Aster 15 is a purely naval missile. The Aster Block 2 project has been cancelled years ago, and it never flew. Its role is to be fulfilled by the Aquila interceptor somewhere in the 2030s What is the issue with the 9S32 ? In any case, I can look if I still have the original model. Otherwise, perhaps ERO, aka @Strigoi_dk, still has it somewhere. IRL, the purpose of the MC is *not* to add a TLD. It is not an equivalent to the ICC and the ME already has all the bells and whistles TLD-wise, from L16 to JREAP including legacy TDLs like ATDL-1 or L11. Cheers.

Hi Max, I know that the mod has been broken by the last updates. Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to take a look at it due to real life commitments. I hope I might be able to go back to it someday, but I can't give you a solid date as to when this would happen. Sorry.

Diffusion of technical documentation in the Soviet Union and most Warsaw Pact nations was spotty, to say the least. A Czech pilot told me that when Czechoslovakia got its first MiG-23ML, the manuals that came with the planes were those of the earlier 23MF. Some systems were thus not documented properly, if at all, and it took month for the corrected manuals to be sent to the units.

I have been looking into this issue for quite some time, but I wasn't able to find a way to solve it.

The fact that the Block 2 was never produced will remain one of the most disappointing european defense blunders of the last decade. Anyway, good job with the models. It's true that we never found the time to include the SAMP/T in the mod despite the models being ready.

Yeah, and I'm really sorry about that. Unfortunately, some real life events have pushed me away from DCS for the time being.
