F-2

I have some docs on Klj series transmitter specs and performance as well as ws-10a thrust curve. Wonder if anything is out their on avonics.

I hope the Super hornet comes to DCS but I kinda agree unless we can get a block II it’s very difficult to justify. maybe if it was ten years ago before the legacy bug was in DCS it would have been perfect. maybe if DCS gets a Dynamic campaign like another well known sim the super might make sense. Maybe someone will start the process the declassify some of the needed systems and get really lucky. for now know it just doesn’t seem feasible. I think AESA will always be kinda a non starter but hopefully eventually systems needed for an early block II get declassified.

MSIP II Eagle is also close (a little more advanced actually but close) the Saudi, and Japanese eagles which are also large operators.

So I found some documentation on KLJ-1. It appears the radar is a Chinese version of APG-66. Same modes/settings with some RWS for PL-12. It seems the J-8F is simply J-8PP but an all Chinese go it alone. Rather then abandon PP it seems they decided to do it themselves.

MSIP II is a great compromise. Entered service in 1986, was the Eagle of the gulf war and Kosovo. Appropriate sparrow and amraam shooter. Very well documented radar. It’s also arguably what the FC3 Eagle actually represents regardless of what the manual says, and fits the original LOMAC setting. That said I’m not sure sure APG-63 PSP, APG-70, APG-63(v)1 should be all that different. I don’t know if any eagles with mech scan radar got HMD or the works. If they did it must have been pretty close to the end right before a lot of them got AESA.

A Chinese defense blogger I found. https://www.zhihu.com/people/wangbinse-er/posts they have some interesting stuff like a Mirage 2000 performance manual and excerpts of the J-10 manual. Some of these figures like the super hornet and Eurofighter have been reported elsewhere, along with the Block 60 with CFT being the worst. https://carnegieendowment.org/files/Force_June_2011-Ashley_J._Tellis.pdf the figures are also consistent with other F-16 performance figures. The declassified F-16 block 15 SAC from 1984 gives a similarly loaded viper a 16 degree a second turn rate at 5000 feet (the Italian Air Force claims the two are similar under 10000 feet which is consistent with this number). As for the thrust rating that can de misleading especially since the F110 has tremendous Dynamic thrust HFFM data, simulated by Mav-JP and Raptor one: M88 thrust curve from this paper http://elodieroux.com/ReportFiles/ModelesMoteurVersionPublique.pdf you can see at a lot of the envelope like the critical mach .9 the F110-ge-129 has much more thrust then it’s 29000lbf rating would suggest and even has more thrust then two M88 engines. The F110-GE-132 is more powerful then that and it’s official brochure says it should be more accurately categorized as a 34000lbf class engine. the drag polar for the F-16 is publicly available and thrust curves for every engine other then the F110-GE-132, so it’s possible to test to see how close other F-16 variants are are a judge of credibility. pdfslide.net_f110-ge-132-enhanced-power-through-low-risk-derivative-technology.pdf

I wouldn’t, it’s Chinese simplified so mainland. They evaluated the aircraft and Rafale a few times till the late 90s so it might be from that. I’m trying to confirm exactly.

I wish I knew the exact load and could figure out how the block 50 would do under similar circumstances. Block 60 is heavy but with a Saturn V engine so I’m not sure if it’s better or worse then the DCS jet we have.

So apparently this is from the Indian MMRCA

I have what appears to be a Chinese language performance table on the mirage 2000-5 (Taiwanese?) if that helps

My request was sent to them in December so that’s sometime in 2026 if things go well.

I know the Mig-29 is in limbo not confirmed but if you guys ever decide to develop it. https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/mig-29-avionics.102/ https://studfiles.net/preview/5383872/ https://studfiles.net/nau/145/folder:11012/#5383849 you could probably develop a very high fidelity radar model based on that.

There is an old IAF desktop simulator online. The public version has no avionics but it should be enough for an AI version.

The Italian Air Force says they’re about the same under 10000 feet.

Almost all plausible documents I’ve come across are Mig-25p however I under stand the PD is near identical avionics wise to the Mig-23

Secret projects has some avonics manuals for the Mig-25P i have a FOIA for Viktor Belenko’s manual. That request went to the DIA which has an abysmally long response time measured in years. I sent a request today for ”Vulnerability Analysis of the Soviet MIG-21MF FISHBED J, MIG-25 FOXBAT, and SU-19 FENCER A Aircraft to Various 30mm, 35mm, and 40mm Projectiles” to Aberdeen proving grounds, can be up to 63 buisness days.

The Su-34 radar is unclassified?

it absolutely is

It has to be a third party and they need to collect the documentation to do a Su-30. AI shouldn’t be impossible. I could get useful stuff to make it happen.
