  1. Not relevant to the bug itself, this should probably be moved to discussions. From what I've seen ED do, it's mainly to keep "balance". Like increasing the air friction on the LD-10 so it performs worse than a harm, same with the SD-10. Or they increase the RCS so that an LD-10 or SDB can actually be seen by a SAM even though they probably couldn't see them, etc.
  2. It only sets QFE not QNH. It does work as intended.
  3. You weren't within the parameters, you need to have between 25 and 30 degree dive angle - you're at 24, so not quite. Also altitude of 2500 AGL, you are at 4509.
  4. I tried to drop some LS-6-100s because there's a jtac in the area so it is safer for me, I get the tone, drop it, and one second later, my wing blows up. Tested twice. I was going about mach 0.94, idk why it decides to blow up my wing but I wish it wouldn't.
  5. not when it's a heat seeking missile....
  6. you forgot - the Russian engine, and the Turkish targeting pod
  7. Also, if you need the extra G, then you can switch to AA mode instead of A/G its literally one switch, and it'll disable the G limiter, however your pylons will be damaged if you over-g them, which given the choice is between death or a damaged plane, seems like a reasonable compromise to make.
  8. Smaller fuel tanks have a higher jettison speed, so take less fuel, fly slower to conserve fuel and give yourself the option to EJ. If it is an SA-13, then your flying low will give your flares a better chance to work. Use the flares in that case. You can turn on auto flare/chaff if you aren't quick enough on the flares, or program in a continuous release program for EW when you're doing your low flyby. If you don't like those options, then don't fly those missions. However, this hypothetical situation is untenable - for one, flying near mach 1 at low altitudes can flame out your engine so you likely don't want to do that; any high g maneuvers would rip your tail off anyway, also you aren't going to outrun a missile, second - with fuel tanks you struggle to get near mach 1, especially at low altitudes. third, If you take the smaller fuel tanks, they'll jettison at 0.9 mach so it wouldn't be a problem given the second point. fourth, if you are taking those fuel tanks, chances are you aren't doing a lot of air to ground work, as you can't carry the big bombs, aside from one big on on the middle, in which case you couldn't guide it in, which, if you have to EJ, might as well not have even made the flight in the first place, given you are flying low and fast. If you are worried about an SA-13, then you'd want to fly high anyway, as above 20k ft they'll be a lot less of a threat. I'll quote hoggit here:
  9. Stop taking the big bags or go slower.
  10. as others have said, they weren't. You get a dotted white line when you're out of range, and a solid line when you're in range. If you specify an angle to come in at, you get a pie wedge, that is dotted when you're outside it, and solid when you're in it. Drop it when the white line is solid and you might hit your target, drop closer to the target if you want it to come in at a steeper angle. Don't drop in the small white circle, as it is too close. Sometimes it's ok to drop it after you flew over the target if you still have a solid line, and enough altitude for it to do a 180.
  11. Not really - if you have another JF-17 in the game, you can use that com to communicate with the other Jeffs. It does work as a voice as well as data channel.
  12. Is the laser on? Can you provide a track file?
  13. Yeah, if you have HUD brightness assigned to a knob, you have to turn that up to turn on the HUD.
  14. That's the increment / decrement switch. You can use it to change waypoints, or even radio channels. Going from 001 to 002 is as easy as pushing L4 then moving that switch up. Much faster than pushing L4 and then entering 002. It takes a second to confirm, so you can switch from 001 to 034 for example, just by holding that switch up.
  15. it's just newer than any of the aircraft in DCS, by about 40 years, so no I don't think it's too good to be real. We have better aircraft these days, but not in DCS.
