ED.trk The whole time trying to look around. Key binds move the camera but it doesnt move through mouse input. Obviously quite annoying trying to dogfight without being able to look around.

Sorry for the late response, for some reason I didn't get a notification about your reply. I was flying the JF-17 Thunder, doing about mach 0.95 (the Jeff struggles on speed down low). The missile was fired as I was about half way through turning cold, and I had time to finish the turn and do some cranks to drain the missile's energy but I was still very surprised as to how it didn't catch me.

It's like the camera is locked in the default position for every camera angle. I've searched the settings and copied other control profiles to the J11 one but the problem is still there. Tried repairing and no change. Any help appreciated. Only on the J11. Every other aircraft I have is fine.

I don't know the closure rate, it was low altitude, around 6,000ft, I did a 180 when it was launched, and ran. A missile with a huge solid fuel rocket motor should have easily caught me (when launched from my six), even with high drag. This is MP so I would bet money it would have been a Mk60A.

The problem with the Aim54 isnt against slow, high flying bombers, but against fighter sized targets at lower altitudes. I know that the phoenix wasn't designed to take out fighter sized targets, however it wasn't limited to just bomber intercepting. It still had the ability to track and hit targets that didnt manoeuvre hard, or notch the missile. I think the drag values at lower altitudes are too high at the moment, and also the rate at which the missile slows once the missile has stopped the burn phase is too high. The missile can be on a 60 degree pitch downwards, from a 100,000ft loft and still lose a ridiculous amount of speed, which leads to it being easily evadable, even with the later activation if the target size is small. I am talking from experience in MP, where people have literally just done a 180 and outran the missile. A similar thing happened while flying my JF17, I outran a phoenix launch that was launched 5nm away head, on. I managed to turn and run, and the missile couldn't catch me. A solid fuel rocket motor should propel the missile to at least just under mach 2 at low altitudes. I know drag is a huge factor but it seems like the missile is trying to fly through water and not air .

So the tomcats greatest weapon is now effectively useless in MP... might as well be flying an F15 with aim120Bs. I would agree with this change to a certain degree, but not to the point where the missile is out of energy in the terminal stage, even when fired from up high and fast. Now the phoenix is essentially an Aim120B... it is outperformed by the charlie 5 amraam... The missile doesnt track like it would in real life in DCS, so why change the drag BEFORE improving guidance? Now its useless. Ward Carroll himself stated that the phoenix was extremely dangerous fired at close ranges and low altitudes.

Ohh ok, so can I run my page file on my HDD? (Its a 2TB drive so I have tons of space). Unfortunately I can't put DCS on my HDD or it runs like absolute sh*t, but I'll try to clear as much space as possible from my SSD, and run the command you recommended. I have been talking to ED support and honestly this one post has been more helpful than the 12 hours they have been telling me spend money rather than finding a solution.

I'm also getting an "Out of memory" error all of a sudden in DCS MP, after playing for 6 months without a problem. Same specs and system. I'm on 16GB of RAM and 4GB of VRAM. Can run max settings, and with decent fps. And no I can't attach the logs because its 12:28am and I am writing this from my phone trying to figure out what is going on. I had page file size defaulted before, so I changed it to 10GB after the first crashes, and still the same crashes. If I only have 11GB left on my SSD (only DCS and the Windows 10 OS are on there) can I still increase my page file size to 32GB?

I don't have an AV, and I still get an error.

Am I doing something wrong? I enter PowerShell and type:`` >DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta and I just get an error message saying "The term 'DCS_updater.exe' is not recognized, ect"

there is no F22 Pitch axis bind for me??? looked everywhere, btw on keyboard
