they disabled that, because they said the WMD7 doesn't have A2A. It has to be ground stabilized with the radar and you can't do that for air to air.

One of its features mentioned for the Aselpod is 'air to air and air to ground' modes. https://wwwcdn.aselsan.com/api/file/ASELPOD_ENG-(1)-(1).pdf

bombs drop under their own weight, I assume they could drop the missiles the same way, though that would mean a different rack, as it couldn't quite slide out on its own. Still, bombs drop so I assume they have the capability to mount it that way. Also other aircraft have missiles who dont start their engine until after they drop away from the aircraft, so it's not unheard of. Also, gravity is 9.8m/s^2 so one second and the missile would be about 10 meters away, which would prevent the engines from sucking in the exhaust plume.

If it fires its engine one second after dropping, it would be just as far away or farther than the other pylons. Granted, if its upside down, it wont, but they don't let you fire them upside down anyway.

so no role playing as a Nigerian JF-17?

Yes, I've never had an instance where I was damaged and only one FCS system goes down, or two, it's always an all or nothing. I know it isn't armored, it's just a basic aircraft grade aluminum cover, and enough structure to hold everything together, but still - if I get my wing raked by AAA, all of a sudden I have no FCS at all? There's three of them in different places. The engine I can understand - it's a jet, so any damage and you have fins coming off and destroying everything in the engine. I'd like to have simulation of the engine, but it's all faked, it's good enough where it will fake it correctly at the right altitude and right conditions, but it's not calculating the compression ratios of each part of the engine based on the fin angle or whatever, it's just a very crude engine-ish thing that acts enough like it that you can have fun. That said, I think it's an issue with almost all modules in DCS, not just the Jeff, the prop planes might have a bit better modeling. I'd love to have the simulation be good enough that like if I turn off the radar, I get slightly better fuel economy because it doesn't have to load the generator as much, or maybe I'm drawing too many amps from the battery so the voltage gets off and some systems don't handle that as well, maybe the LEDs dim or something.

Yes, why would India make those engines? India is going to be making RD-33 engines to keep its Mig-29 fleet operational, they would never consider selling engines to Pakistan.

You can on 2 and 6, just not 4. Unsure why, if you can hook up a WMD7, I assume it has a good enough data connection, and since you can mount a 1000kg bomb, it's not a weight issue.

I read that India is going to be manufacturing the RD-93MA engines in the future, not the WS-13, so I don't think we'll get the WS-13. And the PL-10 weight is higher, our block won't get that unless they introduce some reduced weight version.

That looks fine to me, you're telling the missile when to open, not where the center of the skeets will impact. They spread along the path that they open at, so the target nearest you should be what you want to target, for example if there's three tanks in a line, you want to target the one that is first in line.

They don't care about reality.

There's equations that you can use to calculate how far a sensor can detect, track, and identify a target, I believe detect is around 2 pixels, track is more, and identify is even more than that. based on the FOV and the zoom, you can calculate the amount of pixels you would get, assuming the resolution of the camera is as advertised, then 20nm ends up being about the right limitation. Look at the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem.

re: GPS - the selective availability was disabled in 2000, giving civilians access to the same GPS signals as military, though military uses DGPS and / or WAAS. Accuracy is around 7.5 meters for GPS only, though you can and a lot of the time do get better accuracy on your phone GPS because it uses AGPS along with other methods. GLONASS is more accurate around the northernmost latitudes, due to orbit differences between the satellites, though that would be about 60 degrees latitude and above, which would only seem to be in places that aren't currently part of the DCS map set.

If you move it up to the top, it bumps up the range, if you move it to the bottom, it decreases the range. This should not happen in VS mode, but it does and is annoying, it also shouldn't happen at the extremes (min/max) but it does and is annoying.

Did you check the box for unrestricted sat nav?
