As F-2 said, there is evidence that there is PL-12 equipped J-11As, along with (as Ive recently seen) retrofitted Chinese MAWS systems. I will say that I havent seen the Chinese carry R-27ET along with the PL-12, which (in GS) is an absolutely deadly combo if you know what youre doing. I feel like there should be a proper investigation into that matter. The Info and the actual Op Manuals for the Su-27SK are publicly available, however the only ones that I could find were in Russian and Spanish. There was an english one, but its only a google translated version of the Russian manual. As for the performance, youre simply wrong. The SD-10/PL-12 is a larger missile than the AIM-120C, meaning it will profit a lot from high altitude-high energy launches. Therefore, since the J-11A has more engine power and a larger wing surface, it can reach an higher altitude, while remaining in stable flight. yes you can get an JF-17 to 35k+ ft, but the single RD-93 engine that the JF-17 has, is not powerful enough to keep you that high with good speed. Meanwhile you can stay at up to 45k with the J-11A and the same loadout (4x SD-10/PL-12 + 2x PL-8/R-73) as that would be a rather light load for the J-11A. A big reason for that is the raw power that the AL-31F has, compared to the RD-93, along with the fact that the J-11A has two of them. The following numbers factor in Pylon weight, thrust in AB (as you would use to get a good missile off) and a similar loadout. For the colors: Loadout, Weight, Thrust The JF-17 with 4xSD-10 + 2xPL-5 + 2x1.100L Fuel + Full internal fuel, will come in around 12388kg (27310lbs) with 84.4kN (19000lbf). The J-11A with 4xPL-12 + 2xPL-8 + full internal fuel will come in around 21526kg (47456lbs) with 247.2kN (55200lbf). Now of course, we have consider that the Flanker has a much higher weight, meaning we have to do some math. Im not a physicist, nor a mathematician, so correct me if im wrong. After taking the Thrust of the JF-17 and dividing it by its weight, (84400N/12388kg) I came out to 6.8N After taking the Thrust of the J-11A and dividing it by its weight, (247200N/21526kg) i came out to 11.8N That means the engines on J-11A put out 74% more thrust to move its weight, Compared to the JF-17. This also explains how the J-11A can get up to around M2.2, while the Jeff barely scratches 1.6. Along with the larger Wing Surface, it just gives the SD-10/PL-12 a much better launch than the JF-17 could provide. Generally that makes me wonder why Pakistan and China decided to equip it with the RD-93, instead of the AL-31F, which alone has about 50% more power than the RD-93. I heard that Russia Lied to them about the performance characteristics, but thats an entirely different topic.

Use the Stick Override. thats because irl, the plane doesnt just let you properly pull 9g, Its no special mode or paddle switch like the F-18. All you do is pull harder on the stick, to pull through the limiter. It just adds a lot of resistance, similar to how FFB sticks work. it cant really be simulated in DCS, at least on most sticks. The reason you cant pull 9G, is because it irl would slightly bend/damage your airframe. Meaning that in DCS you have to learn to balance your pull, to not pull too hard with the override. Its not realistic, but neither is anything about the DCS Su-27 except from maybe its looks.... somewhat...

Do you have any sources for that? The A/A functionality was removed from the pod, as the pod doesn't actually have AA capabilities irl Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

I will be honest, this is probably the smallest issue the Su-27 has Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Eh, not really. Its a cockpit simulator, more than its a flight sim.

I mean... the Su-27 is not a modern aircraft really. It is almost 40 years old. from what I have found, the gear actually doesnt have a safety like that.

null Give me a day...

That is not exactly true, as the AIM-120 was indeed tested on the F-14, however, that was tested on the F-14D if i remember correctly.

The pylons can and are being removed irl, both pylon 3/8 and 4/7, maybe there is stuff that can be done, we'll see

ill try it out, I doubt it can be done. What could be done however, is adding the option to remove the pylons manually, like the F-16 or F-18 have it. Its possible and relatively easy to do:

Its due to him not having the mod. As his game isn't property showing the missile. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

I doubt those are mixed pylons. Blue is just a training missile. They all seem to have no proximity sensors? So I'll assume those are LD-10s for practice Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

I'm not Uboats, but yes, that was the point of it. I just looked at the files, and the PL-12 still is using the AIM-120 api. So if anyone wants to test still, you will need to do so on the J-11A, by modifying the files yourself. If anyone wants, I can upload a modded lua, so you wont have to make edits yourself.

Nope, the feature was removed Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

that video is outdated and will get deleted

Then it's likely that the Script may be outdated or that something may be bugged, I would recommend checking with the Liberation guys first Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Is it a player-made campaign or an paid campaign? Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

IRL yes, from what I know that will change in the game

The tpod only works in ag mode, its not supposed to be used in aa or nav. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

If its possible, i would say let's include it. Same kind of situation with the Igla on the Ka-50, the 4 AGM-88s on the Viper, along with the triple AGM-65 rack on the A-10 and F-16. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

I would be more interested in seeing the AI models come out. But since someone decided to steal the models and sell them online, it wont happen However, that info is a year old, maybe @uboats can give us a more precise answer?

You need to keep in mind that the LD-10 is just a SD-10, with an HARM seeker, using the HARM api, since ED doesnt allow devs to access weapon code. It probably doesnt work due to various reasons. Not much Deka can really do.

its just aim-120 being aim-120 i think

Not really, even if it carried it, J-11A isnt the priority of ED or Deka, none of the two parties are going to add or remove anything, even if it is carried irl.
