In the new open beta 1.5.4.54316, I could set the Trimmer Force and Shake to zero, and now is not shaking the logitech, thanks

Agree, the calculation was made for an aircraft flying above 10,000 meters and 900 km/h

the one that you talked in your post (see below) "And LOL his AMRAAM going from - 640 km/h (TAS) to 1430 km/h in just 2 sec. - to 1820 km/h in 3 sec - 2160 km/h in 4 sec 2510 in 5 sec - 2930 in 6 sec?"

The drag only can tell you how quick the missile will lose speed after reach the max speed AFAIK, if the missile manufacturer and almost all the publications online, says he can get 4.5 mach, that's is the speed calculated with the drag included! I think is the max speed reached after burn all the propelant of the two stages. And yes, the missile is heavier, but burn the fuel faster, it means that the weight is quickly reduced in a proportional way. By the way, all the data I posted was inside the missile_data.lua of DCS

The ET/ER have two stage motor, in DCS burn three seconds with 73,500 newtons thrust! and the second stage seven seconds with 14,560 newtons The AIM-120C burn for eight seconds with a thrust of 16,715 newtons In fact the ET/ER should be fasters than the AIM-120C, the firsts can fly at mach 4.5 and the 120 mach 4 If you want to calculate TAS vs Mach/EAS/CAS can use this link below, go to the end and fill the figures there (it's not 100% exact for supersonic speeds but is close): http://www.hochwarth.com/misc/AviationCalculator.html

What was the altitude when the AMRAAM was launched? to calculate the TAS we need to know that

Hi Daniel, take a look to this interview to an american pilot that flew MIG-29G, of course, maybe the IRST of the G german version is not equal to the Russian MIG-29S, but it's interesting to read, and I quote: "One sensor that got a lot of discussion from Intel analysts was the infrared search-and-track system (IRSTS). Most postulated that the MiG-29 could use the passive IRSTS to run a silent intercept and not alert anyone to its presence by transmitting with its radar. The IRSTS turned out to be next to useless and could have been left off the MiG-29 with negligible impact on its combat capability. After a couple of attempts at playing around with the IRSTS I dropped it from my bag of tricks."

Anyway, if the real plane behavior is like the one simulated, it's ok for me, I will learn to fly the monster again and will kick the F-15 butts with the new FM! :)

Hi Koriel, what app are you using to display 3D SBS in your Homido from DCS? TriDef 3D? I have one Homido too. Regards

Yes is working better, the only problems I found is the speed and range of the ER, are below the published specs, in DCS the max speed for the ER launched at 10,000 meters height and a speed of 900 km/h was mach 4.2 (4,527.88 TAS at this height), while the ER can reach mach 4.5 (4,851.30 TAS), but is not a big difference. The range for a target head-on is 65.5 km, in DCS is 60, not a big difference either.

In this video you can see when they mount the R-77 missiles in the SU-35 at Syria, and yes this are R-27T, not ET gpVEWipSx5k

Thanks it worked, the problem is, what about the beta become official next week? we should have the dedault.lua saved? :doh:

In the new version, I can only move the view to +90 degress right and -90 degrees left In the 1.5.3 version, 10 degrees of head movement were 45 degrees in DCS view, 30 degrees head were 90 degrees in view, and more than 50 degrees head > 170 degrees back in each side left and right.

I have a Logitech G940 and no problem with the standard and openbeta 1.5.3 versions, with the new one 1.5.4, the controller begin to shake since you get in the cockpit, the stick is using the FF and the joy is hard to move, I disabled the option Force Feedback in misc and Sync cockpit control in HOTAS ... and the problem persist. Then opened the Axis config and reset to zero the roll and pitch in FF Tune, nothing, the problem is there EDITED: Did the test with MIG-29A, S and SU-27 in INSTANT MISSION, CREATE FAST MISSION AND MP

Yes the MIG-29A external model is new, the octagonal IRST now is round and you see inside the IR seeker, not like the MIG-29S that have the old model :)

You will need to use Leavu3 or Helios if want to display an image of the TEWS and stores in other monitor. The only one that shows DCS in other monitor is the left MFD in this case read this post is awesome, it's not exactly like the F-15 but shows, the RWR, Stores, datalink, etc http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=164329&highlight=dcs-remote

But the cockpit is still the MIG-29A? not the S version?

The MIG-29A/B/S are nice planes and I love it, but were designed to be guided by GCI or AWACS (russian doctrine until the 90s, the same for MIG-21, MIG-23 and others), it's not an independent platform like the SU-27 or the new MIG-29 series, most of the servers have no EW radars or AWACS to guide them, with the exception of the RWR of the own aircraft, or those who use dcs-remote and leavu3 and have a better SA. At the same time, the R-77 sucks in speed in DCS, the real max speed of the RVV-AE launched at 10,000 meters and 900 km/h if about mach 4 (in some sources is 4,782 km/h), in DCS badly reaches 3,800 km/h, when the missile goes below mach 1, the drag of the grid fins reduce the speed to nearly 300 km/h and fall like a stone. Sincerely would appreciate more that DCS first repair all the missiles guidance, range, speed, etc, before the F-14 and the AIM-54 arrive.

Terrific, great production and editing!

The links are broken, but you're right, I remember watched the video of one of the surviving pilot talking about the bad state of the aircrafts, remember that one of them have no MFD and RWR and had to relay in the other one to find the targets, at the same time, they flew with no GCI, because they were off/destroyed due the allied bombing.

I agree! I have been sweating asking to former colleagues in the Cuban Armed Forces because they have R-27R and R-73 in the MIG-29A

It's possible, look the F-15 radar, in TWS can follow several targets and even guide four AIM-120 missiles to four differents targets at the same time. And in the MIG-29S simulated in DCS is the N019M and I quote: "N019M is an updated version, developed as a response to the compromise of the N-019 radar by a US spy. Tested from 1986, it entered limited production in 1991. Slightly lighter than the N-019 at 350kg. N019 has increased ECM resistance, new software, and a more advanced built-in monitoring system. A new Ts101M computer relieves the processor overload problems of the N019, more than doubling capacity to 400,000 operations per second whilst weighing less, just 19kg, and with doubled MTBF of 1000h compared to the 500h of the Ts100. N019M allows two targets to be engaged by active radar homing missiles simultaneously. Range increased slightly to 80km. Originally intended to be fitted to the existing MiG-29 fleet as an upgrade, about 22 aircraft with N019M are thought to have entered service with the VVS."

I agree, this is not in discussion, the problem here is how it's guided the russian SARH missile while the target is far from the emiter, for the info we have available, the R-27ER, have a max launch range of 110km for a aircraft flying above 10,000 meters and 900km/h. The SU-27 radar can lock a target at 50-60km away, it means the electromagnetic pulse have to travel this distance and return degraded by several factors, like the target RCS, weather conditions, etc. The R-27 receiver/seeker can cover only the width of the missile (about 9 inch, in the image the one of the left) Agat AAM seekers. Left to right: 9B-1101K dual plane monopulse semi-active homing seeker used in R-27R1/ER1, 9B-1348E active radar homing seeker used in R-77 variants, and 9B-1103K active radar homing seeker for R-27EA (Agat). In certain conditions the missile can be launched in override, HOJ mode, etc, while the seeker in not receiving the returning emision yet, but the aircraft have a firm lock on and the radar is already emiting in CW. And the final question, how the target RWR knows that the CW emision is only a lock on him, and not a missile launch, as it's simulated in DCS right now.
