I recommend this book: "The Pentagon Paradox: Development of the F-18 Hornet" James Perry Stevenson

I seem to remember that the low speed filter did work until a few years ago but I can't tell you when it stopped working. I never saw the mess caused by the clouds working. Sorry, Mig 21 is a module that I fly for periods of time and then I stop due to the lack of maintenance it has, so I am not up to date on when the failures occur.

F-14B(?) Upgrade as featured in DCS 2025 video
Joe1978 replied to VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
Yes, I think I understand you in this case, but my note (and I hope no one is offended by it) is for all those who repeat the mantra that the F14 was expensive to maintain, and obviously it was, but I think these people don't know "why" it was expensive to maintain... they are simply repeating something they have heard without understanding anything. Did you know that in the factory, the bimetallic hoses of the hydraulic fluid were frozen by the liquid helium contracting the material and then coupled? In this way, when they expanded again they remained fixed. Problem: when you have to redo those lines and you don't have the materials or the means to do it correctly. I repeat, I don't want to be pedantic or offend anyone. Joe -
F-14B(?) Upgrade as featured in DCS 2025 video
Joe1978 replied to VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
All variable geometry aircraft are quite complex to sustain and the F14, despite its robustness, is no exception... Even the Mig 23 (much simpler) was a nightmare. -
I've finished the campaign. . Mission #11: was completely broken. I had to restore it as if it were a puzzle. Now it is fully functional. I have respect everything except detail: although it is not indicated, part of the mission is based the assumption that our wingman (aka Patrick Star) survives. If he is shot down, the mission will not work and I can assure you that out of 5 times I tried it, he was shot down on 4 occasions. Now it's no longer necessary for Patrick... sorry, I meant, our Wingman to survive. . Mission #12 is intact and 100% playable. I have been tempted to modify several details of this campaign but finally I have left it as faithful as possible to the original. Thanks again to @dggoofy for creating this entertaining campaign and I hope he doesn't mind the changes/restoration. Joe M11-Anti-Artillery.miz

Nice photos/videos of the Spanish F104s. By the way, around minute 2 you can see an F104 after going off the track.

R530 family and its current greatest problem/s
Joe1978 replied to MysteriousHonza's topic in Bugs and Problems
The Iraqis learned that lesson well -
I have deleted the files from both folders but I still get the same error.

I wanted to post this video but I didn't know where to do it exactly. I apologize if there is already a thread to share videos

Last year I finished this campaign and it was a lot of fun (thanks). At some point, the campaigns I had flown have appeared as inactive so I decided to fly some of them again. Yesterday I started this one again and on mission 3 CAP (after turning right at the border), the leader no longer communicates and the mission cannot be completed. Now that the F5 has received the update, the skings have disappeared and I fear that some parameter of the campaign may be broken. I will try to review the mission to locate the error.

I'm sorry to say this but we've been seeing the A6 in the "DCS 20XX and beyond" videos for three or four years and it still hasn't appeared (not even as an AI unit). This year we saw the silhouette of two Draken and various EF animations.... What you see in the FAQ or these videos means nothing: Just marketing

Well, sorry but this sounds similar to the response Orbx/ED about the SA performance issue. The difference is that it appears HB has successfully reproduced it, according to this post. Edit: no hate in my comment, it's just that this issue has been open since 2023. I greatly appreciate the work of HD
-
^^^^This is the point. I find it quiteing that ED or HB are unable to replicate it.

Yes, downgrading textures with the 3080 works in to a certain extent but it did not solve the stuttering problem and low FPS. Despite the latest updates, the problem is still present and it seems that the developers continue to ignore the issue. A few months ago Mr_sukebe posted a very interesting post about this in one of the several threads on this issue.

Interesting video with a Spanish F104 pilot

I've upgraded from a 3080 to a 4080S. My experience has improved a bit (at least I can now set the textures to high). Stanley runway 49-70 fps. Low level 70-80 fps. High alt 80-90 fps. There is still a bump below 900 feet but there is less stuttering now and it doesn't go below 45-48 FPS when looking sideways below 900 ft. If you try to land on a carrier, there is a very strong jerk at 900 ft. It is quite uncomfortable. There is a moment when it stuttering and you donw from 70-80 to 45-60 fps almost immediately. I still think it is a map problem, not a hardware problem

Crime and Punishment Campaign missing all dialogs
Joe1978 replied to poyosquared's topic in Bug Reports
A lot of work, then war, now money.... -
Yes, my experience is similar. I lose approximately 15% occasionally, and is more stable than SA.

Mission 20 Bombs over Maykop feedback
Joe1978 replied to TAIPAN_'s topic in F-5E Black Sea Resolve '79 Campaign
I'm a bit stuck on this mission. I have followed Odessa's advice but the F4s don't seem very effective at attacking SAMs and are usually shot down quickly. With no top cover, the MiGs (piloted by Skynet) rush at us. My wing-man is shot down almost instantly by the SA6s or MiGs and although I can get close to the target (skimming the treetops) and I can rarely do an attack run without being shot down by the AAA (with sniper capabilities and and nerves of steel) or the SA6s. -
I had no problem getting this remaster but I honestly expected a bit more from this update at the cockpit level: I wasn't thinking about more modern systems but about an improvement, even if it was "cosmetic", of the radar (I think that many of us agree on that point here), the backlighting of the RWR panel still has two positions (despite having a potentiometer), etc... The end of the community liveries has somewhat disappointing. I have over 50 missions related to the Iran-Iraq War (the first Gulf War) that now appear quite odd, and I could continue to enumerate other missions and campaigns that lack the appropriate liveries Maybe I expected something more along the lines of the A10 and K50 updates that seemed magnificent to me.
