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

Hi, I’ve made a bunch of tests were I was flying the Su-27 with R-27ER against the AI F-4E armed with the AIM-7 and the AI F/A-18C armed with the 120C. Both excellent. It was a head on encounter with start speed of 500 km/h and 4,000 meters of altitude for each aircraft and the distance between then was 80 km. For the first test against the F-4E I’ve discovered that if you do not follow a few procedures the missile will simple miss no matter if you have a radar lock all the time. After the determination of the fire procedure I managed 95% kill ratio with the R-27ER against the F-4E. I’ve fired 45 missiles in this test. The procedure is a little complex and if you don`t follow it the missile is going to miss. Procedure: Speed. Before firing your speed has to be at least 1,200 km/h (It has to me more than 1,170km/h). In the game, I discovered that if the R-27ER reaches the target with a speed less than 1,180km/h the proximity fuse will not work and with a speed less than 1,080km/h the missile will lose the target lock no matter if you have a radar lock. (I’ve observed this firing the R-27ER without using the procedure. I’ve fired 60 missiles to reach this conclusion). Altitude. Before firing your plane has to be 2,000 above the target. You cannot be more or less higher than that. Time. As soon as you receive the launch authorized (LA) star the plane’s clock and wait 15 seconds to fire your missile. Wait the clock reach the 15 seconds to pull the trigger. In fact, with the delay, the missile will be fired at the 17 second. As soon as you fire the missile you have to lose altitude and turn to keep the enemy aircraft at 45o from you. You have to keep your plane’s altitude always 200 meters under the target (I don`t know if I’m using the correct English, so I will give an example – If your target has an altitude of 6,000 meters your altitude cannot be more than 5,800). When the clock that you have started when you received the LA reaches 50 seconds the missile will probably hit the F-4E. Now the F/A-18! Using the same procedure and testing the same 45 time my kill ratio was 0%! When the missile reaches a speed of 2,000km/h it goes directly to the chaff. This test was made with the version 1.2.8. A few points: I haven’t the FC3 with the version 1.2.7, but I’ve made a lot of AI vs AI tests and the R-27ER was deadly. I believe that with this version it would not be necessary to create a special procedure to fire the missile. I don’t know if this is a bug or intentional, but this started to occur because of the “Reworked chaff and flare rejecting logic for AA and SAM missiles” on the version 1.2.8. The AIM-120C is useless no matter the version. All of this tests are made in the single player environment only.

Hi, Just a few points about the Gripen NG. Sweden bought only the Gripen E, for training they will use de D version. Switzerland, like Sweden, made an intention to buy only the E version. Brazil is, until now, the only country interest in the F version. The development of this version will be made in Brazil. For the Brazilian version of the Gripen E/F the software will be developed between SAAB and a Brazilian company (probably MECTRON, the same company that made the software integration for the F-5EM and the A-4M for the air force and the navy respectively). ARMs: Brazil uses the MAR-1 (Brazilian made ARM missile - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAR-1) and the air force will integrate it to the Gripen E/F in the future. Now, about the Switzerland decision, some people here in Brazil are saying that this will be good for Brazil because we will have more power to negotiate with SAAB. The Brazilian price is fixed (It was fixed before the Switzerland decision) so I believe that Sweden will pay the price if Switzerland doesn’t buy it. For me, I don`t have a opinion about the subject because I don`t know which are the Switzerland necessities.

With AP rounds you will only get a lock if the target is less than 4,000 meters from you.

Ok, there is a bug in the CA when you try to watch a track in the 1th person. The SAMs don`t aim correct and the missile miss! The track does not show what really happened. So I`ve made a video and posted it on YouTube.

I fired 4 missiles and hit 3 Mavericks. The other one I used the gun. I`ll only play the game on Friday.

While I was driving the Tunguska I managed to intercept 4 Mavericks fired against my SAM. Give me a few days and I will post a track.

Ok, so how do you aim in the sim? Where do you put the crosshair to hit the target? I need a tip for this. Thanks

I always put the crosshair in the middle of the target. 50% of the time a miss like in the screenshots. Is that normal to you?

Why is it so difficult to hit a vehicle with a TOW Missile? They sometimes pass so close and don`t destroy the target! Am I doing something wrong?

I’ve made a little modification on the RagnarDa’s script (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=106083&highlight=board+vehicle&page=2) to unload troops anywhere in the map from a BMP-2. After the disembark I want to load the troops again in the BMP-2 and unload them in another area. My doubt is how to do a soldier that died after the first disembark not appear again when the group loads into the BMP-2 and disembark in another area? I’ve looked into the geloxo’s script (CTTS), but I couldn’t find the answer. Does anybody know if the answer is there? I’ve attached the mission and the script but they are not complete yet. Thanks Poti.miz PotiScript.lua

The 1st option... :)

Ok, First of all Brazil use the Derby not the R-Dater version and probably will continue to use this missile, because it's less expensive to acquire then the Meteor. Brazil will not have any embargos from any country, we don’t have problems with the Europeans and they are disputing for the Brazilian navy contract, everybody (Germay, UK, Spain, Italy, France) are trying to please us for this contract. Yesterday at night I was talking with my father who was in the meeting with the president before the announcement. He spoke with a high ranked officer of the air force that told him that they are very happy with the Gripen because of the opportunity to develop a program for the country. It is a great opportunity for all the companies involved. Of course that de F-18 is a better plane, but if we had bought it would never flew because of the lack of funds. It would be the queen of the hangar like the Venezuelan’s SU-30s or the Peruvians Mig-29s. With the Gripens Brazil will need more than 36 planes to defend the territory because of the range of the airplane. We have 4 bases in the forest that could be used in case of war, but only 3 operate fighters in peace times. This Gripens will be allocated in the capital and in the south (the forest is in the north).

I already do that using the TeamViewer 8 on my mobile phone or in the tablet to control my PC at home. Sometimes, when I’m tired at work, I edit missions using the mobile phone.

I'm so stupid! It was so easy!:doh: Thank you!!!
