Gungho

Thank you for the help. I found my overclocked processor got burnt up by the bios auto overclock voltage. The asus Ai one click overclock sent 1.45 volts for 5.8 ghz for about a year now. Now i cant even hold stock clocks without adding extra voltage. This was my issue for kernel security failure bsods and dcs crashing. It wasnt the ram tho. Dcs runs fine on 16 gb. In this case i had 16gb just to test if my other 64gb of ram had a failure.

Greetings, I am so lost. I have been crashing in DCS more often. The issue has been getting worse and worse to now I can only get about 15 minutes of gameplay before i crash. I am also crashing in other games like TitanFall2. You can see this in my dxdiag log. I have reinstalled windows, reinstalled drivers, done everything I can and can't find the culprit. I have also did some research on how to read these files. However, I am losing my mind over this as DCS is a massive part of my life as a flight student. Any help will be appreciated.

Is the sd10 no good anymore? Slow hornet is dodging it head on with 8g turns.

Yup very good data proves why i lose in rate two circle fights against all the fighters. Nevermind glocking at 390+ knots of sustained rate. Hope they will fix this.

Best rate fighter My butt. Im constantly getting outrated by the f18. Doesn't matter what speed i hold or how i manage energy.

I know and its turn rate is waay better than in sim.

You slowdown fast and you dont even get that much instantaneous turn rate for exchange of that precious airspeed. It really isnt a fair trade atm.

I agree along with the poor energy retention of the viper. The cursor being so slow at max deflection of the slew axis gets me killed in bvr engagements.

I really like the attention to the pilots opinion. It really shows the dedication the mods have for the most realistic flight sim in the world. I am looking forward to the findings. My theory is that the rate of turn/heading change per second exchanged for the amount of speed change/energy bleed does not seem right. It bleeds too much energy for subpar turn rate. Or possibly like any plane the induced drag at slower airspeeds and higher angle of attack may also be too great. The f16 pilot may feel that the f16 should be easily recovering airspeed at these slowed airspeeds and medium angles of attack without dumping the nose for a 0g condition. Recovery of speed/energy may be possible at slow airspeeds and higher angles of attack with the f16. Doesnt mean we should give up all together a resigning attitude wont get us anywhere either.

If you watch the video at the end he does it at +-500ft agl. Not sure what his msl altitude is but it makes very little difference in the realm of possibility.

Original thread got moved. I wish to bring further attention that my favorite plane in real life is still butchered. Skip to 11:30 and my old thread that is now in “wish list” for some reason.

skip to 11:30 real F16 pilot says the energy bleed is still too fast. He says it is better but is still garbage. I flew the f18 yesterday and was just destroying in dogfighting with differential thrust. This is a new video! Like come on the hard paper data cannot discredit so many real pilot’s opinion.

Yeah i see them pop out when at low speeds. Yeah its funny people say to rate around at 430-450 kts when you blackout and cant sustain that rate at those speeds.

People are starting to catch on. For some reason the aoa you can pull during pitch up max deflection is much lower than the pitch down. I propose a change in the control input sensitivities as Minhal has pointed out in my previous post. The FLCS feels awful compared to the hornet. In this first video you can see the f16 has extremely impossible pitch down spiraling movement. Ive done testing on my own and this is achieved by staying below 250 knots to avoid g-lock from negative gs, pulling power to idle and applying full pitch down and full aileron deflection(maybe a little rudder). My theory is By entering a low speed spiral the fcs thinks that full pitch down is to decrease aoa and break the stall and gives much more aoa control for pitch down movements in the f16. Im not sure if this is the way the developers have intended the f16 to be able to do these maneuvers. As it stands right now when im flying the f16 the poor aoa it can pull, poor sustained rate, ocoupled with the insane energy bleed has caused me to be put in a defensive position. My only option is to do this goofy negative g high aoa nose down maneuver to force an overshoot. My opinion is that the f16 is still underperforming and bleeding too much energy for exchange for below average instantaneous rate. I heard in bms theres a switch that allows override of the flcs? The f18 has this and the f15c just lets you pull insane amounts of aoa. Meanwhile the f16 is severely limited by its flcs.

I believe the f16s flcs should not act in this way.
