Expectation on Air to Air missiles of the MiG-29A?
Pavlin_33 replied to pepin1234's topic in DCS: MiG-29A Fulcrum
The picture says export "A" version. I was under the impression that export version is "B". Also I thought that the export version had more limited panel. -
Is this the HUD contrast how the RL pilots see it? If yes, then our DCS one is way too pale.

not a bug A-10C nearly impossible to hit with SARH/IR missiles

True, I would have to re-check the geometry from the TView -

I think Flanker's capable of tracking targets down to 150km/h in look-down, but I am not 100% sure. I will need to investigate further. From automatic translation service: -

Yes, hopefully - otherwise it's called a mid-air collision -

Another interesting situation with the "magic" A-10: three R-27R's missed from 12km and 4km respectively. He was doing 210kph when the first two missed, but radar lock was never dropped and my EOS was off. Same thing with the last one that missed, he was 162km/h. -

Su-25T has an IR jammer up it's tail, so if your IR missiles miss from his dead six o' clock, chances are that's the reason. -
Both - it works in no-fuel state as well as idle.
-
I sometimes have very low fuel, so I check if I can glide it in on idle power - most use cases for me.
-
Yes, it's for more-less calm winds. This is by no means a goto procedure to follow in case of both engines goin out, but rather a quick rule of thumb. My procedure is: - engines are out - jettison all stores - check height and distance If within the simple rule, chances are high for successful landing. Sometimes I run out of fuel when flying in MP
-
I usually never go below 400kph. I am not sure why, I guess 'cause the spedometer starts having finer scale there, so I imagine that might be the lowest drag speed. Airbus A320 has it's best glide speed around 210knots which is more or less within this speed range. I could be totally wrong here, also.

I have no idea if DCS treats both AI and client the same. -

True I could try out AI. My only concern is that it might not be the same - I would have to replicate this with a human-driven A-10. -

Problem is with the A-10C specifically. I have no issues with any other target. Unfortunately I don't own the A-10, but I will see if I can find someone to help out maybe stage these kind of situations, so I can get a track file. -
If you have a look at the TacView Animation, you can see that even though I have landed (on the road) and my speed was below 300kph (not 100% sure how much but prob. around 280km/h or less) the Phoenix had no issue tracking me - I am in the Flanker (not Mirage 2000) that landed. Is AIM-54 supposed to hit ground targets also?
