    Su-25 - salvo modes don't work for unguided rockets

    in Flaming Cliffs Bugs & Problems

    If they would know the salvo controls also affect rockets, they certainly would have coded it and mentioned it in the Su-25/T manuals.

    if they don't know exactly from the source, they could guess that this switch works for the rockets as well. It's not uncommon thing. Why they didn't do this? I don't know. I see no good reason for this. But I'm not developer of DCS

    I will not do this. How does this make a difference? Will they implement this if I share a link? (you don't need to answer this)

    it's public and it's declassified a LOOOONG time ago.

    maybe they didn't know back then. Bit I don't believe this. Doesn't make any sense

    How am I supposed to use laser-guided missiles on the Suhkoi-25 without any TV/Skhval?

    I mean, to actually hit the target is EXTREMELY difficult

    it's not difficult if you do this right. Take a rocket with 10km range, climb high (like 5-6 km). Find your target then perform dive like you would do with unguided weapons. Aim with rocket and launch it once authorized. As it hits the target, recover immediately with 4-6g to 35 deg of pitch. Eventually, you recover from dive earlier and get very good precision, in contrast to firing unguided rockets.

    I guess this is because of landing procedure flow. According to the procedure (from the real flight manual), when you about to flare, you have to look to the left and forward, to observe approaching to the ground carefully. So landing lights are turned a bit to the left.

    Today marks 50 years since Su-25 maiden flight 💥 Gratz to everyone who loves this plane! 

     

    P.S. I mistakenly thought ED will release new 3D model today... I wanted to believe in that 😄 @NineLine, sorry for bothering you in this way. Do you have any info to share about when we will have a new 3D model?

    Su-34 ignores SEAD task that it was able to finish before

    In the attached mission, Su-34 supposed to suppress the Hawk SAM, deployed near to Nalchik.

    Initially SAM was deployed near to Nalchik, and Su-34 were able to suppress is successfully, but then I moved the SAM site near to blue positions and SEAD just stopped working. Then I decided fiiiine let me move the SAM back to Nalchik and now it doesn't work as well, though initially it worked fine!

    I'm so confused.

    MiG-29 landing impossible to perform

    Finally had a chance to fly and figured I’d add a short video of how I do it.

    Assuming you’re not landing heavy—here I’m landing with roughly 35% (1,100 kg) fuel and 6 R-73s—try to keep the tach in the 77-79% range as you descend toward the runway. Ideally you’re crossing the inner marker at a height of 50-60 meters with a speed in the 300-310 km/hr range. If you’re a little high, shift your aim point to just short of the runway for a bit to flatten out the descent. Then refocus on your original aim point.

    Your speed crossing the runway threshold should be in the 280-290 range. As the left edge of the runway comes into view, look left and forward, rather than straight ahead, to better judge your height above the surface.

    FWIW, I seldom pay attention to the AoA. Rather I keep an eye on the HUD pitch scale (notice that, when I shift my focus left and forward, I keep the scale in view). Do not let it go higher than 10 degrees. At 10, there is no chance of your tail or engine nacelles hitting the ground. Add a bit of throttle if it’s approaching 10 with no desire to stop. If you hold it at 10 at this point by adjusting the throttle, the proper landing speed (and AoA) will sort themselves out. Throttle to idle, when you feel you’re just above the runway and settle to the ground.

     

     

    speed is ok, but it's too high on the glide path. It should be around 50m over the inner beacon, so you get very smooth transitioning to the flaring stage.

    Yeah, we get it - you don't value full fidelity in DCS. You just care about FM and combat - that's ok, that's why the FC exists, it can be fun and that's why we have option to choose. But many simmers don't find FC enough fun and very much appreciate every detail that come with full fidelity, be it cold start procedure, realistic nav systems, radios, sensors, weapon controls, emergency handling and finally shut down. We don't have to convince each other which is better or if there's any big difference.

    why is it marked as solution?

    Then you should know how it shakes

    This should be fixed. It's rather a bug. And actually the jet doesn't shake, but the camera does. This is why it's so annoying. + the airspeed on which the aircraft starts "shaking" depends on the armament load, fuel load, whether you have external tanks or not, also depends on the altitude. The mission should be adequate + the flight should be planned properly -- it helps to avoid this problem. But anyway this must be fixed. If the real aircraft actually shakes at such speeds (most likely not), then it should be implemented so that the aircraft itself shakes, not the camera

    and wants to dive once it reaches such speeds

    This is normal for speed-stable aircraft. You have a trimmer.

    If you ever flew the Su-25 then ypu know HOW it flies at such speeds

    Yes, I flew Su-25 in DCS. Moreover, this is my main airplane. I spend a lot of time flying it. Su-25 excels at such speeds, when being handled properly.

    What tradeoff, Su-25 has no a2a capability unless you count 2 R-60s as such?

    this is exactly what I mean. Weak a2a capability in favor of best in class survivability. Still, it can fire those R-60s. You know what that means?

    When it comes to scenarios - check any populated on-line server

    I know. It just means that no one can make a proper mission for Su-25. Really, I have never seen a single good online mission for the Su-25. They are all bad. The mission's creators should stop putting Su-25 into missions for the frontline/fighter bombers.

    But such fast planes can fly way higher and way faster when needed.

    This is how multi-role plane should perform. Su-25 is strictly specialized and waay better in its job than Su-27/MiG-29.

    From what the late CW  scenarios  would benefit is the MiG-27M/K.

    Both Su-25 and Su-27 deserve to be implemented as FFM if we are talking about CW or even modern scenarios

    40 minutes ago, TotenDead said:

    The latter would even be useful in modern scenarios Thanks to its combination of speed And armament

    What scenarios? Deep strike? It's not that simple, so let's compare. This is not Su-25 primary task, but still there's tradeoff between survivability and a2a capabilities. Su-25 can fly 750-800 km/h at 40m AGL and it's actually being used in this way. Su-27 or every other multi-role jet won't fly faster than that anyway, because it's too dangerous. But no multi-role jet is able to survive enemy fire, while Su-25 has a very good chance of withstanding AAA fire and many types of guided missiles

    MiG-29 landing impossible to perform

    in MiG-29 for DCS World

    Posted · Edited by Supernova-III

    your attention should be distributed in the following way when you are flaring: airspeed, AGL, vertical velocity (repeat until you finish flaring). When you have finished flaring, it should be like this: AoA, vertical speed, left forward (repeat until you are done).

     

    Probably it's not the best algorithm, but you have the idea

    MiG-29 landing impossible to perform

    in MiG-29 for DCS World

    Posted · Edited by Supernova-III

    typical problems when landing the MiG-29 are:

    • overspeeding during touchdown, which causes bouncing
    • too high and too slow when flaring, which causes the opposite effect -- crushing down to the runway

    Both problems are due to there are basically no space for errors (in terms of flight parameters), you have to do it precisely.

    When flaring and after setting throttles to idle, you have to keep looking to the left forward so that you can observe how you descend
