It's very unreliable in several ways. We frequently fired GAR-8 missiles while pulling 4-5G and very far from rear aspect and we still score hits. Didn't think the missile was that awesome :)

I can confirm that rolling in and diving on a target will result in a failed run. Nosing down will result in 100% success. My bet is we still have bugs with the "gyros" in the sight. Tested 5 times, alternating between rolling in and pushing the nose down.

Before starting a diving attack, press and hold TAB (Electrical cage) . Make sure that the reticle is fixed on the reflector (gunsight is caged) and maneuver the aircraft to place the reticle on the target.  While flying to hold the pipper on the target, release TAB . Simultaneously, the gunsight will start to calculate the release (bomb) point. Keep the position of the aimpoint over the target until the moment when the reticle is off (the release point) and press R.ALT + SPACE. to release the bomb(s). Note.: If the bomb release selector switch is set to AUTO RELEASE, press and HOLD the keys R.ALT + SPACE from the moment the pipper is placed over the target and uncaging the reticle. Hold the pipper over the target until the signal is heard to release the bomb(s). Simultaneously, the bombs will be released automatically and the reticle will be switched off (the signal will cease). In bold is the procedure for automatic release, but I've never heard that sound, only clunks when bombs fall off.

How about the fact that the manual states you should E-cage, dive in, and release E-cage after solid red light?

So the automatic bomb release (not LABS) is supposed to be done without range information? That sounds wrong.

Let's hope for a nice video tutorial from Furia or Wags :) I am getting pretty desperate, so any fact about the systems modelled would help :)

Don't know about the sustained turn radius, or best cornering speed with/without flaps. I always fight with high energy, and I never use flaps in any dogfight. When people try to drag me in to a turning contest I do a high yo yo instead, I kill them every time they do that.

The MVR position is no button, but if you want to lower flaps a little bit, you use flaps down a short moment, then back to MVR and they stay. But I think there are several different ways to bind flaps. And for landing gear I use modifier (NWS) + AP on left throttle. No need to move your hands from the HOTAS.

I dropped 30 bombs in automatic mode with great success yesterday. But today, on my friends server, it was impossible to release in automatic. No clue what I did wrong, I tested lots of angles, speeds and switches. Nothing seemed to work.

But don't cry just yet, DCS World is free, so you can have a dual install :thumbup:

Did some testing, and 45 degree dive doesn't make the light solid. Though I had it solid several times when coming in shallow.. It's not consistent for me, and I wait for a proper instruction video or confirmation from testers/devs how it's supposed to work. I don't get the range meter to work as I think it's intended.

Never had that issue, so I don't know how that's possible, if you are in bomb mode only bombs and guns should be possible to fire. You're sure you are in realistic mode?

It work for AG too. But from my limited testing you need a fairly steep dive, aim for 45 degrees. If you come in too shallow the radar return is deflected and you need to be very close for solid return (solid red light). This is not confirmed, but my working hypothesis at the moment. :)

I'm no IRL fighter pilot, but I find it hard to believe pilots did a combined bomb and rocket delivery. Two different approaches.

TARS is (sadly) outdated, and have some annoying bugs. And it doesn't support newer modules. A new plugin is on its way from another dev that will support all modules, and latest TS3 versions. ETA for public release is not set. But it's working a lot better then the current plugins at the moment.. I'm sure the dev will announce it when it's ready.

You (read ED) often say it's only a minority of the customers visiting the forums and commenting, so one should not draw conclusions based on the opinions expressed on the forum. But I guess that excuse is only used when it serves a purpose ;) I've read discussions on a whole lot of others forums, and I wouldn't call the average post positive. A fair amount of people is still upset about the alpha removal, and the fact that ED have merged several backing levels in an unfair way.

ED is not keen about alpha access at all. If they find a way to circumvent it, they will. And tbh, a true alpha is packed with glitches and unfinished features. I'd rather see ED honoring backers with beta access.

Probably Iceland.

No discount for backers?

I was about to write a long and frustrated post. Now I'm very happy my son decided to stay awake far longer then I desired so I timed out. And the best part is that I probably would've been banned for that post. But now I'm very happy, even though I don't get all aircrafts. I can choose two favourites and I reckon I can chip in 20$ each for the others, that's just a pizza and beer each. :) Thank you ED, Wags and my son.

And the sad part is that more devs doesn't necessarily speed things up either. Look at Bohemia Interactive.. So much money they don't know what to do with it, and still one of the worst optimised titles ever released. Yes, I'm talking about Arma 3.

We all know explosions need tweaking. ED claim the engine is flawed and the work-around needed to make it realistic take too much dev time away from other projects. We need to wait for a new game engine, my guess is somewhere close to 2018 (not including the mandatory delay). I rather see every available dev focusing on F/A-18C and Su-27 PFM (+ the DCS level Su-27). We've been waiting for the fast mover for over 5 years now. Almost as long as Nevada..

How many multiplayer games have you played that PAUSE the server when a client adjust controls? Arma? Planetside? Minecraft? Settlers II (released 1996!!!!!)

A few years ago i suffered battle damage and one engine didn't go further the 50% fan. A flick on the override and i got 80%. It worked in that case, but i have not used it the past two years.

I used to like the Ka-50 the most, but due to the laser rangefinder and Shkval being bugged for the past year I mostly fly A-10C.
