Tried to repair, but the problem continues dcs.log-20180201-184603.zip

I've had the same problem, but my update was from the 1.5 dcs.log-20180201-065954.zip dcs.log-20180201-065606.zip

I've had a crash in single player. Don't know if it is linked. dcs.log-20180124-202826.zip

Hi, i have a question. Why the waypoint's altitude does not appear at the pcn panel? I creat a mission with different altitudes for differents waypoints, but the pcn always shows the altitude as 00ft.

The probability in this case does not work well. I always kill the F-15 at the same distance with the same tactic. If I use a different tactic the probability works.

After every update I start a battery of tests. Su-27 AI Excellent vs F-15 AI Excellent R-27ER vs AIM-120C Firing at max range, Firing at No Escape zone, etc. Start to watch the tacview (at least five different times of the confrontation). After that I take control of both Fighters and start to try the ideal distance for every situation. Before the last update the R-27ER always went to the first chaff. Now it is not. If the lua file didn't change, then they changed the chaff effectiveness. Same test with different version and the effect was complete different. Now my wingman can help me and it's not only a target.

They didn't change the missile, only the chaff efficiency. Chaffs are less effective.

The R-27ER has change since last update. Now without turning off the radar I'm hitting an F-15 45 km away. Aim-120 has improved Either.

After the last update I'm managing a lot of kills with the R-27R/ER.

Hi, Well, for me the new hotfix is working fine for the way that I play. They fixed the missile re-engage system. Now I managed to Hit an 120C with my 27ER and the explosion destroyed the F-15C. Tacview-20151111-090935-DCS.txt.rar

In fact ai recognizes after a broken lock. If you fire a 27ER and wait 15 seconds to lock again AI will maneuver and drop chaffs. But if you wait more to lock again it things that it is a new missile and wait more to maneuver.

No. AI Excelent. I just lock the target at the last minute. Look the tacview and you will see when the missile starts to move to the target. In the begining you can see that the F-15C lauchs chaffs.

Ok, My opinion is that all depends on tactics. With the last hotfix I manage to have a 40 km hit with an ER. I could have a 50 km hit if my Su-27 has more energy. Before this I only managed 34 km as maximum range for ER. I use a stealth attack. After firing I unlock the target and wait a feel seconds to lock again (25 seconds for long range depending on the target aspect). The enemy does not know that I fired on him not even when. I only use R-27ER and R-73. I agree that flares are very useful against R-27ET and R-73. But the AIM-120 and the AIM-9 don’t work well either. You can easily run from an AIM-120C without loose lock for your R-27ER. I attached some tacview to show what I’m talking about. Tacview.rar

Try again. I had to do this procedure 3 times to work. In my case the problem was with the su-27, ka-50 and I coudn`t update with the hotfix 2. Try the procedure 1 time and restart the pc. If it still doesn`t work, restart the pc and try again. Remember to restart the pc before launch the game. I´m talking about the 'DCS_Updater.exe repair' command.

I had the same problem. To solve it follow this procedure: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030

About the R-27ER in the DCS 1.5, it is very accurate (I didn’t apply the last hotfix; I’m having problems with the auto update). But you have to keep the target at your 12 almost all the flight. The advantage is that you can fire first without being hit, because the 120C loses more energy and have to approach more to fire and hit. At the .acmi file attached you can see that I let the F-15C firing first, so I have to dive fast to dodge the missile. When I’m diving I don’t use the afterburner. If I program the F-15C to fire at the no scape zone range I can fire from a bigger distance and reduce my speed. Tacview-20151014-204011-DCS.txt.rar

Hi, In offline games I've managed to score hits with 1 missile against F4, F15, F18 and F16 firing in a distance between 40 and 30 km. I use this tactic since FC 1. To reach the ideal parameter before the attack you need to be at least 1,100 km/h and minimal 10 meters above the enemy. Don't stay more than 2,000 meters above the enemy. Before the lock, if the enemy is going to your direction press “Rshift + I” to change your radar frequency to “HI”. Firing distance: You have to count in your HUD the distance between the Launch Authorization (LA) and the moment that you fire. The distance is 2 marks for enemy aircrafts with no ECM and 2.5 for those with it. Look the picture to understand: PICTURE HUD After firing your speed is not important any more, but your altitude is. Turn right and keep the enemy 45º from your aircraft. Example: PICTURE MFD As soon as you turn, Put and sustain your altitude between 2,000 and 3,000 meters Below the enemy and don’t keep your wings parallels to the horizon. When the enemy starts to turn and dodge your missile press “Rshift + I” to change the radar frequency to “MED”. Your missile will hit the target with a speed of 1,500 km/h. Less than that speed your missile loses track. This procedure is to fire at a maximum range possible to hit a fighter. The problem that I see is (no matter the distance) that when you fire a Russian radar missile you must be below the enemy after firing to track the missile (always between 2,000 and 3,000 meters below). Even with the radar lock the missile will miss if you are not below the enemy. With the IR missile you must be below the enemy before firing. I’m attaching Tacview files. I hope it can help.

Landing with missiles!

Breaking News During the Embraer’s KC-390 roll-out Argentina signed an agreement with Brazil to start negotiations for the acquisition of 24 Gripen NG made in Brazil for the Argentinian Air Force.

GRIPEN NG will have Wide Display http://www.defesanet.com.br/gripenbrazil/noticia/17060/EXCLUSIVE-%E2%80%93-GRIPEN-NG-will-have--Wide-Display-/

More people were killed in one year in this country then in 2 years in the Syrian civil war! I simply don’t understand why Brazilians hate Argentinians so much! That’s why I am so afraid!

If Argentina go to the final and win the Cup somebody will die in Rio (more than the normal way). Some friends that were at the stadium told me that some Brazilians attacked Germans after the game (I don’t know if they were Germans or Brazilians with the German jersey! I will stay at home and will wait 3 days to leave!

When Brazil will start to play this game? I only saw Germany. At the same time that you read this post Germany score another goal! :megalol:

Hi, Well I had time to fire 60 missiles (in fact more than that). The Brazilian game in the world cup is a holiday here. Well, I don’t care about football (A Brazilian that doesn’t care about football, that’s the end of the world!), my wife was sleeping and nobody wanted to climb with me. So let’s fire some R-27s. As I work with statistics (I’m a risk manager), I need a good sample! Ok, I committed a mistake on my last report. The pilot skill of the F-4E wasn’t excellent. It was in high! Sorry! With excellent skill it is impossible to hit! Same result with the excellent F/A-18C! Other point is that I only score a kill against the Turkish F-4E, with the German one it’s impossible even with the skill level in high (I haven’t tried many shoots this time). Anyway, I’ve attached the track against the F-4, please tell me if I can do anything different. Thank you F-4E High Turk.trk
