    I did a quick check, those images are not to scale. I don't have any reason not to believe that it can in fact mount the RA'AD.

    yea, the WMD7 specs are low, If it is 320x240 the specs would make sense. Aselsan pod is used on the real JF-17.

    they said they're changing the pylons drag, so I'd wait until at least the first release of the updated drag before collecting data.

    According to the Chinese export/import agency CATIC, the PL5E has an all-aspect capability with the seeker having a maximum off boresight angle of ±25° before launch, and ±40° after launch. That said, you want it locked if you are right behind the enemy, you unlock it when you aren't sure where the enemy is, or it's a head on / beaming, either way, you listen for the tone. You don't want the seeker to lock on to a flare to the side when you are close and have a radar lock.

    since that's 36, it must be the chaff.

    I've seen people target things at 40nm away with a lightening pod.

    A track will 1. Prove you aren't lying, and 2. Provide a reproduceable bug, which programmers love. Plus, when they get it fixed 3. Provide a test case. If they fix it, the track will show it working.

    Loft is not included in range calculations, so if you want to take that max-range shot, loft it up 9+ degrees and it'll be more likely to hit.

    set the depression angle lower. Default is 120, but you can set it to 90 or 60 if you want.

    9 degrees needed for lofting.

    let's be clear here, the reason it can be spotted more easily is because of the smoke, which you can only see WVR anyway. RCS is 25% less than the F-16, so that shouldn't be a problem. I agree though that the smoke is too much, as we've seen in videos of Block 1 and 2 JF-17s flying, there is not as much smoke as in game.

    That looks like it's the weight with the mounting bracket included, based on the photos provided.

    Shouldn't the SD-10 mass be 180kg? It's 199 in this one.
  14. Napillo
    No, that's not the issue. It was test fired several times, 2019 shows the test fire from the JF-17. It has been test fired since 2007.

    there's actually equations you can use to determine the max range a specific target is identifiable / trackable, the 21nm seems to fit, unless there is a 4k sensor in the tpod (there is not) - most likely the targeting pod of the f/a-18 and 16 are not as good in real life as they are in the game.

    how about the Takbir? It was test fired in 2019 from a JF-17 similar to LS-6 but smarter.

    How do you know it is too little drag and maybe its just too much drag - ie - if the drag of the dual missile rack is what is causing this even when there is no pylon there? So we should get less drag without the rack, but currently we're getting same drag as if we have both?

    yea, there's a lot of ways that sensor fusion / aesa could do, if you ever watched that old movie "Contact" the VLA is a real thing, it's a very large array of radio telescopes that when used in concert are able to detect smaller objects. I don't see any reason why missiles small radars couldn't be powered by the plane and offer a VSA (very small array) to also detect smaller objects.

    block 3 makes it more integral I believe, and you get the option of hobs, but I don't know if it was ever adopted en-mass. It's definitely an option you (if you are a nation-state actor) could buy.

    The HMD was being built and tested when FC-1 was being developed (before even Block 1) so no, not wrong block.
  21. Napillo
    mode 1 only jams when you are STT locked, or a missile is detected. mode 2 is constant jamming. which mode were you in?
  22. Napillo
    I haven't seen that issue, and I have a 6700xt - the 6900s seem to have an issue if you have multiple monitors with different refresh rates, or you're playing a video in chrome while playing a game. I'd check the driver updates / known issues - it's not an issue with DCS.
  23. Napillo
    somewhat, depends on the speeds you fly them - if you can fly it right, you can get great fuel economy out of it, much more than the F-16.
  24. Napillo
    I did that, and I'm sure the planes now can do as OP suggest, more or less - it appears it's just a software thing. I think the issue is you'd need to store the sensors readings over a range, and have sensitive enough readings to place the radar within x ft radius or so... then set gps coordinates as a markpoint, making that SOI.

    what happens when you turn off your mirrors?
