Well the R77 honestly seems to not bring much to the table as you can only bring enough missiles for 1-2 engagements. Getting in close and using thermals seems to be the most effective way to go.

What are some good engagement profiles for this jet? against F15C you're just screwed due to the AIM120B/C in an open fight. The only thing I've found that works is to get close as possible before rushing in to midrange or better yet, attempting to get into a WVR dogfight where you HMS and R73's will easily bring victory. Even with terrain masking getting close enough for IRST and Thermals ambush is very hard to do especially with the spotty coverage of AWACS.

That's no good. Set to be fixed with next patch? I guess I'll have to finally learn the F15C now. Absolutely hate the imperial units used, having grown up in a Metric country, no intuition for it at all. Thanks to the 104th for the awesome server btw!

Is it just me or does the AWACS datalink on the SU27 never work? Edit: Just tested and it does in the editor at least. I guess there are errors in the multiplayer missions I've been playing..

I'd say that it removes some effects from when something like a bomb or an aircraft interacts with the ground. Since by definition we have other effects playing at the same time you won't really miss much. I've noticed less black smoke when rounds are hitting the ground, but it's really not a major thing. Just make a folder within these folders, drag and drop the noted files into it and give it a test by putting a CAS aircraft with some rockets into the editor and giving it a quick fly. That's how I tested it.

I like the cut of your jib, fella.

I noticed no real huge difference, you can still clearly see the blast FX on the target. There's only a little less black smoke that seems to be replaced with some generic white smoke at times but I think this is a far better thing than the current slideshow problem. The only time you'll see it anyway is if you are using rockets as naturally any cluster munitions or bombs will be below you upon impact.

Edit: I've found that removing ground, ground1 and ground2 from the medium and high folders in \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Effects\PFX will eliminate the problem. Removing low seems to have little effect. Tested with Su25, S8's, RBK and KMGU.

Cross posting from my thread. This is for 1.2.2 I've found that removing ground, ground1 and ground2 from the medium and high folders in \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Effects\PFX will eliminate the problem. Removing low seems to have little effect.

Anyone else still getting this problem in 1.2.2? I'm going to experiment with removing some effects.

Certain weapons like rocket pods and especially cluster weapons causes my FPS to choke every time. Is there a certain setting that needs to be turned down for this effect to be lessened?

He is referring to the low light targeting pod in which case is the "mercury" pod. Only fixed 5x zoom but it is far better in low light conditions than the standard EOS.

So three of them have never flown (piloted) before? That's awesome.

That is simply amazing guys, bloody great work! Out of curiosity, how many in the virtual team have flown in real life before this event?
