  1. I mean, I agree. The -D model is quite different and requires A LOT of work so I would never expect it for free. Surely not for full price like the A/B (if you own those) but maybe as an expansion pack and/or standalone.

    I think 99% of people would happily pay whatever price for a properly made -D model.

     

    Yeah:thumbup:

  2. Ok, I tested it, and it indeed filters out target speeds higher than 1200kts, but in reference to the ground. That's not clear in the manual.

     

    One more thing I noticed during test is that in NOSE and TAIL aspect settings, supersearch is broken and you cannot lock target anymore by placing cursor over it and pressing hcu full-action button.

     

    It can't found target in supersearch that in NOSE and tail aspect setting. It can't got STT onto a hooked TID target when it above 1200 kts.

  3. I think the aspect switch just affects missile fusing, not target detection.

     

    The target display on DDD in TWS RWS and PD Search, switch at nose, beam and tail.

    In supersearch mode target display On DDD when aspect switch in beam, but target can't to be found on DDD in supersearch when the swtich on tail or nose. You can got a STT onto a hooked TID target.

     

    The target display on DDD when must switch aspect nose. It display on DDD in TWS, RWS and Pd search, but the target can't display on DDD in supersearch and can't got a STT onto a hooked TID target.

  4. Is your antenna elevated so that angels 65 is within the scan zone at the range you expect the MiG-25? Remember, radar is like a spotlight cone. Even if he is within range of the radar, if he's outside the scan area, you still can't pick him up.

     

    It can be found on DDD in TWS or PD search when the MIG-25 above mach 2 at 65000 feet. but in supersearch can't found the MIG.

     

    The MIG-25 stars at 1300 knots ground speed and angels 65,It display on DDD in supersearch .

  5. hi, there buddy ah well yeah ... one of the first things I tried with the tomcat, was the cruise missile identification actually I tried couldn't be able to detect the cruise missiles from the rear seat but I tried using ACM of pilot ...it's really difficult to detect them ... you must be flying as low as the missiles in the same direction which wouldn't be expected from the tomcat...it must be far easier for tomcat to detect missiles...also another issue is : Jester doesn't have a logic behavior with the cruise missiles...it treats cruise missiles as Air to Air missiles gives shout outs like MISSILE ONE O CLOCK BREAK LEFT !!!!! well accourding to history Iranian Airforce have shot down cruise missiles and their bombers during Iran Iraq war but I'm sure they found them waay easier than the way you find them in DCS ...please look into it ... thanks for posting this thread

     

    The cat can found Kh-22 and AGM-86, but the AGM-84...................

  6. Good points, and generally about how I feel. I too love this airplane, and this module. I’m just perhaps a bit disappointed in the performance of the aircraft, maybe I unrealistically expected too much.

     

    As for bugging out, I’ve tried it against hornets when I just couldn’t get the advantage - while I was able to outrun the aircraft, I couldn’t outrun his AIM9X :lol: (though once or twice I was actually able to do that - this plane is fast!)

     

     

     

    Even going vertical, the Hornet manages to keep up, which surprised me as well.

     

    I should clarify - in the setups we’ve tried, it’s been 2 AIM9 each, full fuel for the Tomcat and just over half for the hornet, which seems to give about the same endurance at burner.

    let's the cat load half fuel

  7. Do you have figure 3, that’s mentioned in section 17 of that document?

     

     

     

    The 2-2-4 provided by Fwind is interesting, it’s the Flight Control Systems Principles of Operation manual from the Navy. What it says is that you can command a rate of 15 degrees a second but the most the system will give you is 7 degrees a second.

     

    “Although either command has a wing sweep rate of 7.5 or 15, the wing, due to the hydro mechanical system drive will only sweep at the rate of 7 per second.” It goes on, but I’ll paraphrase. The reason you can command a rate of 15 degreees per second is so that you don’t have to hold the button the entire time the wing sweeps. With this system you don’t have to have to hold the button for 4 seconds to command the wings to sweep 30 degrees, just 2 seconds. However it will still take at least 4 seconds for the wing to travel those 30 degrees, because at best it can only traverse at 7 degrees per second.

     

    The figure 3 have nothing about sweep rate at high Gs.
