Really very interesting, an exciting further note of realism.
Yeah, hopefully this will be extended to other weapons in the game (e.g. Sidearm comes to mind which also uses multiple seeker heads for specific threats).
Kind of insensitive choice for a Mi-24P campaign to put it mildly, I'll just leave it at that.

Is it expected for the aim9 to continue growling when the Select Jettison switch is up or down (not centered)?
I would expect so as I don't think the wingtip pylons are jettisonable so I'd presume the select jettison switch doesn't influence them as they have no jettison electrical circuits.

I suppose you've checked the product page already, but just in case..
There's a comparison list below, plus you can visually compare the images and see what's different.

I might consider upgrading my Super Taurus in the future with EX as it seems to be able to support both F-15E and F/A-18C specific functions.
Hope they'll add EU warehouse as an option in the future..

In the meantime, here's another anecdote. TM's corporate headquarters is local, and by "local" I mean I could throw a rock and hit their building. That's how I got the FCS Mk2 (not a Mk1 actually) back when they were still a nobody. Who'd heard of TM 15 years ago? I didn't get the Warthog because it just doesn't offer as much functionality as the F16EX, although it is certainly a contender in the top-tier controller market.
Just in case you're not joking, TM released their FLCS and TQS (IIRC, the first F-16 HOTAS) in mid-90s and everybody into flight sims at the time wanted them.

Is that pod like a guidance pod for Kh-23 missiles (i.e. the Delta-R1M mentioned on Kh-23 Wiki page)? Also, didn't MLA primarily use R-60M/MK missiles?

Yes but according the the documentation I have, even for the 9-15/9-31 there were some restrictions - i.e. it could take 4 R-27 missiles, but only 2 of those could be of the long-burn variants.
Interesting. Even Gordon's MiG-29 book mentions only 2 ER/ETs.. Which is kind of surprising since there are shots of MiG-29M prototypes flying with four Kh-31s (I guess inert ones, not sure how heavy they are).

It could carry 4, even though it didn't become standard.
I would presume it would not make sense since IIRC the standard MiG-29 (9.12 and 9.13) already had problems with asymmetric load when one of the two R-27 missiles was launched. Putting these heavy missiles even further away down the same wings would only make matters worse, at least without some kind of digital FCS to adapt to these configurations. I would also wager that the wings weren't designed for big loads on these outer pylons as well, especially during A2A manoeuvring.
Presuming they could withstand the load, you could launch them in pairs, perhaps, but I have a feeling the pylons were not spaced far enough by design so there's not enough side clearance between the missiles since they are launched from these rails so you'd have to fire the inner pair first which leaves you in a not ideal configuration again.
This was of course fixed later on starting with MiG-29M/K (9.15/9.31) with stronger and wider wings which had two extra heavy pylon points plus they were 'wet' wings with a bigger fuel capacity compared to old school bags with fuel as on the initial variants.

Not sure what you mean exactly, but I'm pretty sure the CLS-E base is significantly bigger than the G940 base.
I mean, I use Cougar base on some table mounts and don't feel like fiddling with G940 stick there just for having FFB to fly helicopters. If CLS-E gets DX support, I could just replace my Cougar base with it and use it as my standard base for both aircraft and helicopter modules is what I wanted to say (I'd have to buy an adapter for Monstertech mounts for it, naturally).
55 minutes ago, Abburo said:The new feature supports native DirectX FFB indeed... no need of CLSim software or anything... any game supporting DirectX FFB will work with Brunner seamlessly.
Just made some tests and found out some quirks... in Mi24 after hitting trim, the joystick will not remain in the position but will always add an offset. I have set the trim mod in "Specials" menu to joystick without springs and FFB... tried all settings there... no luck
In Huey case... if "joystick without springs and FFB" is set the trim button will not keep it in place at all, but is trying to recenter. Changing it to Default, will keep it in place but will add some offset.. in this case i would say is normal...
any ideas anyone?
Perhaps it could be posted on Brunner support forums. Hopefully these issues will be ironed out quickly.

Yes, it supports HID FFB, which is the standard that pretty much all other FFB joysticks should conform to as well. So any game supporting HID FFB via DirectInput should work now with the joystick. Including racing simulators, if you want to drive those with a joystick …
Thanks. Nah, I'm just interested in it for flying the helicopters in DCS properly (and I guess WW2 fighters are nice with it).
After flying with the trim on the G940, it's hard to go back to flying choppers with a regular base and G940 is too clunky to be used as a primary stick/base.
This Brunner CLS-E could be my primary stick base for everything in DCS, now that it supports DX natively, I guess. Just need to start saving.. I presume they don't do discounts ever?
-
Just to confirm, does this mean it now supports all the FFB effects of the DCS modules (which have FFB support) out of the box like e.g. Logitech G940?
-
Hmm. Getting it for $24 would have felt like a steal for an F-15E, like, literally. Kind of glad I've missed the chance to be tempted by like 15 minutes..
Now, just need a Tornado to complete the list of my three most played sims on my first PC (MP's F-14 FD and F-15 SE3, DI's Tornado).
Fortunately, the DCS gods have granted us some mercy in that regard recently, so here's hoping..

6 Noctua fans sounds like a huge overkill for a mid-range setup, IMHO. I would rather invest half of that price into a new brand name case which comes with 3 decent fans preinstalled.
E.g. I got myself a Lian Li O11 Mini Air for about 110 EUR and it comes with three large fans included. There are plenty of options at that price range with good design, materials, dust filters and decent and quiet fans.
-
I haven't actually tried it yet, because I moved and the Cougar throttle is in the old place still (I use WinWing throttle currently). Hope to get a chance to try it next time I go back there.

On amd cards reprojection doesn't work properly...i don't know about the new ones and probably drivers will also improve
Yeah, I'd presume it's due to the new chiplet design used on RDNA 3 and that the VR software will need updates to support that.
-
The ECM effects look great, can't wait to try them out. Plus the pilot/RIO bodies. Thanks a lot for the update!

Really? AFAIK, it shouldn't be possible in RL and it shouldn't be possible in DCS (?).
Define 'turned cold', though. Flanker's radar has a bit wider gimbal so it could support a missile while it might look that it turned almost 90 degrees off (AKA 'cranking').
-
Agreed, the F would be more flexible as it could do both low-level and medium-level strikes (with its ability to carry the Pave Tack pod).

Great news! Have fond memories flying DI's Tornado.. Most of it was on autopilot, though, so can't wait to see how it actually flies

These are R-23R/T missiles, right? I thought MiG-23MLA was using R-24R/T missiles?

Finally got myself a pair of Cougar MFDs but can't figure out out how to use them with the TARGET scripting software. I went into the keybindings (F-16C Sim) and bound all the MFD keybinds to the virtual controller's "Joystick buttons". But, apparently, the same "Joystick button" is found both on the MFDs and on the HOTAS.
How do you create keybinds for the Cougars that does not interfere with the HOTAS? I found nothing in the TARGET manual for this, or am I just blind?
If you're using the DCS keybinding (like e.g. F-16C Sim) to assign key commands, then you shouldn't run Target beforehand and you'll get separate devices (i.e. TM Warthog Stick, TM Warthog Throttle, TM MFD 1 and TM MFD 2) that you assign respective DCS commands to.
If you're using Target, then you assign these in Target (e.g. key 'Y' which is defined in the F-16C Sim profile Keyboard column to some DCS F-16C function, you can assign it to some MFD button directly so when the Target profile is active, a press to that key will type Y whether in DCS or in Windows in general).

A friend of mine got shutdowns due to protection issue with his 3080 10GB on a good (Seasonic Focus GX) 650W PSU.
I've seen Seasonic Focus GX mentioned specifically as an example of a PSU which will have issues with new Nvidia cards, so I guess something about their design makes them not a great choice for the new GPUs with more powerful transient spikes.
Supposedly, it's not only about transient spikes in this case, but also in how Seasonic PSUs in general handle noise sensing on the 12V line where they didn't expect such high noise as generated by Nvidia 30XX series. They tweaked this behavior in later production batches, but if you have a PSU from before the fix (which I guess came some time after 30XX series release), they might shutdown a lot due to this. It happened even on stronger PSU's (e.g. 850W) when the 30XX series came out.
-
RM650x is a good unit, it can provide almost the entire stated wattage on 12V so no problems there spec wise.
But, with increased wattage, the power load transient spikes also increase which might trigger OCP protection on a PSU and trigger a shutdown.
I also have a similar problem where I'll try to run a 3080 with a Ryzen 5600X on some older model (but decent/good quality and still brand new) Corsair 550W PSU. I just recently put the system together, so didn't have time to run any demanding games for a longer period of time; it did run DCS for like 10-15 minutes, so I'm slightly optimistic (especially if I undervolt the card somewhat).

Heads Up Displays

Looks VERY interesting, I was just wondering if such a thing exists few weeks ago.
I would advise providing a few review samples to some of the respected YouTube sim-related content makers to advertise it as I'm sure prospective buyers would want an unbiased take on how well it works in sims (and combines with Track IR, for example) before pulling the trigger.
