Using roadbase on Buddyspike server, despite entering runway heading manually (propably not very precise) few minutes after take of "nav sys" error appeared, but to my supprise I was able to switch betwean My 2 entered waypoints, heading and distanes looked correct as well, so question is, is it a bug, that Viggen can show nav sys error, even if nav sys is working correctly, or there was real navigation error, but too small to affect navigation, becouse diffrence betwean entered runway heading and real take of heading was too small?

trans and subsonic acceleration is too weak, it should be closer to Eagle than Hornet

I wonder how likely Deka is to fix J-11/Flanker FM and what are perspectives of FF J-11 in the future, even oldest version, I wouldnt mind paying for proper Flanker, either FF or improved FC24 module

Biggest flamingclifization of DCS Flanker are r-27t missiles, procedure to fire those is a bit more complicated and missiles themselves were not that loved by RL pilots as they are by DCS pilots, but still FC3 Flanker is not great plane by any means, DL is usefull, but Su-27 is slower than it should be, much closer to F-15C in RL than it is in DCS, radar is significantly worse, even than FC3 F-15, and aim-7>r-27r. FC3 auto IFF help, but to much lesser extent than big Tomcat radar, Flanker have to count on AWACS/EWR to build SA, so that auto IFF in BVR is less impactfull than many belive, also IRST not give IFF obviously. As mentioned, boat based planes have uphill strugle in dogfights in general, they have few extra tons of junk that ground based fighters dont have.

How it's even possible that this kind of bug exist for more than 1 update? It's same missile as aim-9L with diffrent painting, maybe temporary solution would be allowing aim-9L to be carried by Viggen, until bug get resolved

TBH, even "new" Kuzniecow doesnt look great, and keeping non SC model, IMO is bad for ED buisness, it's terribly outdated, it's a shadow on overall game quality, same can be said about some more old models, but Kuzniecow is actully a combat ship, used in missions , and definitely will see more action on new Kola map

JA-37 wouldnt be that hot, skyflash was weaker than late sparrows, if we include upgrades, then it's another amraam platform, plane had worse performance than 4th gen fighters, and things that are special for Viggen, we already have in AJS-37, Gripen otoh...

I m new to Viggen, but default program for quick realese is "2", does switching to "1" help a bit?

How to attack targets with bk-90 that are at higher elevation, in short how to set QFE when we are attacking targets on mauntain from valley, do we have to climb way above hill we are attacking, do we have to set QFE for launch point or for target point, is bk-90 "behaving" in such scenario?

IR based SHORAD (Linebacker) have no problem engaging, and often shot down bk-90, it feels completely of, given lack of any engine on bk-90, guess same happening with other loitering dispensers Tacview-20240812-204943-DCS-BLUE-FLAG.80s.miz-dynamic.zip.acmi

Same with a-10A, and this is getting even more ridicolous, becouse Pave Penny actully worked with weapon mods that was allowing LGB's, so in order to nerf FC3 they even removed feature they already added and was unique for a-10A

I dont like this polarization that everything have to be either FC or FF, why not make medium fidelity relatively mdern red aircraft with clickable cockpit, but not as sophisticated as Hornet at the beggining, with maybe paid or free update/upgrade coming later?

I was expecting rather opposite with FC F-5, like allowing more weapons that would represent export variants with FF F-5 following, but ED didnt "dissapoint". What is even more strange is that it's possible to drop LGB's from FC modules with some mods, and procedure to drop LGB's in FF f-5 is as as easy as dropping dumb bombs.

radio in cold star not working after update or I missing something?

It would be good in the future to tie assets characteristic to X map with map, this way mission designers and owners would get more assets while players who dont, can have their HDD space, there is plenty of mods that have good performance and add alot of variety, it would be nice if someone in ED talk with those people

Is there any diffrene in game betwean Swedish RB a2a missiles compered to their std aim-9 peers?

FC24 version should be a blessing for all those individual country mods, so definitely 4xaim-9, but also Chinese and Russian weapons on Iranian F-5's, for some reason FC F-5 lost LGB's capability

Nice to see changes that will make air defence more realistic, another step, that would bring even more realism and add extra game loop is addition of GPS jammers, current GPS munition efficiency is gives assymetrical war experiance, OTOH majority of DCS maps are rather focused of clashes betwean technological powers

So why mig-29 carried bombs from day 1, if it was supposed to be a fighter, why pilots were training in a2g, why it had CCIP, INS and other "useless" for interceptor gadgets?

I m not talking about glass cockpit, but some sort of MFD's that would give Mig 29 more purpose, original 9.12 was EA like product, given how fast Soviets made modified variant, I m not even compering 9.12 with Viper that was older, but Hornet entered service about same time as 9.12, truth to be told is that Mirage F1 for Iraq offered better multipurpose capabilities than Mig-29

original 9.12 wasnt peak of aviation technology to begin with, it had it's selling points like performance and r-73/helmet combo, but overall mig-29 was rather crude design compered to western ones of the same period, it was 100% analog cockpit, visibility wasnt great for a 4th gen fighter either, a2g capabilities were very limited. It's pilot plane, even within limited interceptor role

Just a reminder how well trained was (is?) avarage NATO pilot, especially ex West German, compered to Arabic or ex Eastern Block, iirc NATO pilots had nearly 4x more flight hours per year compered to potential enemies. Also people still forget about how big numerical adventage US and alllies had over their adversaries in wars after callapse of Soviet Union. If during first Gulf War avarage coalition pilot would be as good as DCS blue player, Iraq would win

Moskva helicopter carrier was part of Black Sea fleet for entire service live so it's way less fitting Kola map, but i agree with Kiev+Yak-38 addition, but IMO request should rather go to Kola map producer. Also I would welcome Sovromenny class destroyer, it would be interesting and challanging asset to have

Problem with some of those old modules for mission creation purpose is that they sometimes not work, if you try to BVR AI in old f-4 vs HB F-4 you notice huge diffrence with same ordenance

Any plans to move Viggen to red? Significant players unbalance after f-4, and Viggen is kinda obsolete on blue now, in red OTOH it would still be top tier attack jet, also resemble Su-17 that we are missing in this setup
