But that's what I did. I pointed out that he was using guess work. I am no pilot so can't say which of his statements are true, and I've heard Russian side talk good about their aircraft. SO my conclusion is that I should take this article with grain of salt and rely on my trusty life experience which tells me he exaggerated (which both sides do). He also used most basic version to compare with more modern one with more modern weapon. He gave no specific of engagements (which I am sure he is not allowed to begin with as they are restrictive to military only) so he had to use descriptive facts... with bit of political influence :smartass: right?

Again, 500 hours in that pit would make you know it either happens or it doesn't. To you it may not mean much, to me it does. It tells me he is just guessing, and if I wonder why... well I said already, he wants to bring his side up and enemy down. You have probably also seen video's of some debrief of the US pilots during red flag or something (can't remember exactly now, I think it was them "fighting" the Indian Su-30). The speaker/pilot was making jokes, laughing and of course telling how they kicked their but. Now if you pay attention, in any SERIOUS debrief in any military, there is no such "attitude" with comedy remarks. They are professionals, and take their training most seriously. To laugh it off when "fighting" one of the best and modern machines your "enemy" can throw at you is simply not serious matter, which explains again why he did it, and why such debrief was released to the public... it is for morale lifting purpose which all armed forces do. Its just the way things are with military, when they talk about how they fight, they always talk good about themselves and bad about their enemy. :music_whistling:

Terrain elevation adds to that also (your indicated altitude will be over sea level)

Your DCS settings are in Saved Games folder c:/Users/xxxx/Saved Games/DCSxxxx

I didn't misinterpret... those were his words, and they don't make sense IF the guy has 500 hours in the plane. We all know each side wants to look good and talks good about itself, nothing new there. This comment however is clearly evidence that the guy writing the article is guessing (or he could also do it on purpose, why wouldn't he put them down a bit? They are the enemy remember?). So if he guesses this, then there is good chance he's just guessing other things also. You can believe it if you want.

I wouldn't trust this... it seems bias to me, but one thing caught my eye This pilot said he has 500 hours in the MiG-29 but then says this? This makes no sense at all. If he flew the 29 for that many hours he would KNOW if the throttle would slide or not... and would not say probably... probably means he's just guessing. ;) For this reason I would not take his word as true. If MAPO says the air frame can be stressed to 12G and he says it can't... and says Germans found cracks, well that could be just due to age of the air frame, and doesn't say how the cracks actually developed. The AMRAAM works in F-16's favor, that's very true. But other than that I think they are on pair.

You were right, it was a typo. I edit the post... thanks :thumbup:

Adding to these mods modified World.lua file, change is to increase burning time of aircraft wreckage (increased from 1 min to 10 min). this file goes into ...DCSxxxx/Config/World folder World.lua

You are most likely too much zoomed out.

:megalol: This belongs in the Hilarious section :thumbup:

Delete your monitor lua file, and game will default to single screen config. This is known bug... simply don't use custom GUI coordinates with UIMainView = GUI, instead use UIMainView = Viewports.Center

Maybe I made a typo, I'll check tomorrow Yes there is... I think it's in Config/World.lua file... I'll upload the file tomorrow

You haven't heard about new sanctions imposed right after? [ame] [/ame] :music_whistling:

What do you expect from today's media, they no longer do their research on anything, they just air what they are told, and swear on their life its the truth.

I have tried long time ago to edit the files to make the effect show at speeds greater than 500kmph but without luck. I think the HotAir.fx is responsible for it, but for the life of me I can't find where (I have to use trial and error but still no luck). If anyone figures this out I am all ear.

don't look at these, they are not for heatblur exhausttrail.fx exhausttrail_vs.hlsl smoketrail.lua speedsteam.lua you can increase length easy. Edit Config/Effects/ParticleSystem2/HotAir.lua LifeTime = { 3, -- nozzle speed min + aircraft speed, time {nozzleSpdMin+0, 2.2}, {nozzleSpdMin+300, 1.2}, {nozzleSpdMin+500, 0.5}, {nozzleSpdMin+700, 0.06} change this section. First number are aircraft speed in m/s. second numbers is duration of effect particle in seconds... and this is what you need to increase (the duration) making smoother transittion... sorry but can't help with that one, its somewhere in FX file which I don't understand.

Just move the roundel closer to the edge of the intake

I think you could change a bit the paint camo (just vary a bit the "curves") so that all skins don't look identical with just different markings. :)

^^^ These remind me of cup holders :D

Most military aircraft are not that shiny/reflective. They are painted with matt paint, not glossy like airshow aircraft, so reflectiveness will vary (and normally not be as high as the L-39 in screenshot)

Reason I put in the springs was to allow the seat to travel more freely. When the seat was fixed to the board on which the seat is on, the shake was not as pronounced. Now I am thinking maybe I should have 2 boards underneath, with springs in between them, instead of springs in between the board and a seat... maybe sometime later :)

No, not really :D

You can just open your monitor lua file and edit it and fix what you think was incorrect. But I have a hunch that you used the GUI section and set UIMainView = GUI If you did that don't use it, there is a bug with this, and instead use UIMainView = Viewports.center If you want to switch to single screen, you can just delete your monitor lua file and when you start DCS next time it'll default to single screen (because the one specified lua file is missing)

Added Screenshots :)
