You should probably report this on the 21 forum too.

I actually find the Sabre harder to land, since you have to go so slowly. Safe gear-flaps speed is something like 220 kts, not much room for error, and the brakes suck. The A-10 shouldn't really be used as a comparison here because it's the kindest, most forgiving aircraft imaginable.

The nosecone switch on the top right side console switches off when you rearm/refuel. Then the nosecone won't open and your engine will choke to death when you go fast. Was this after rearming or repairing etc?

Yes, they are in the patch available now.

Of course, in the same way a rifle makes a sword obsolete. Doesn't mean you suddenly wanna get poked by one :P

That's actually a really cool story.

You should go to "Games" in windows, select your stick from the Input devices (or similar) list. Then go to Calibrate, and you can see the inputs in real time. Also, try "resetting" your controls by just rename the Config folder in Documents; DCS will create a new one with the default binds when you start the game.

Well the obvious place to start is to check your binds.

^ That's a great one. I tried my hand at making this look like a 60's postcard.

Known bug, and IIRC it's fixed in the internal version.

I hope I got the Russian right.

I (and I suspect others who are limited by VRAM) got quite sizeable improvements. I went from 26 to 33 fps looking down into the cockpit.

Well, if it's that or a runway crash I guess.

My track above is from SP.

Right, that's what the training mission says, but when I'm 50 m behind something with the pipper following him and lock tone, I expect the missile seeker head to be tracking. Yet, no lights! Probably a bug, or the training mission has the wrong missiles. Was just wondering if those lights come on for anyone else.

Ok, if they're for specific weapons maybe the loadout is wrong in the IR training mission, cause they don't work for me in that.

Are you talking about the green light on the ASP, or one of the lights in the column of 3 to the right of the ASP? I can never get the latter to light up.

For me, being in the vicinity of several other 21s makes it unplayable. My system is about 4 years old, but until recently, I still thought of it as an ok machine. GPU update coming, though!

Nonsense. This is not Counter-Strike with planes. Realism above all, and red-blue balance must not interfere with that. Regarding your "anyone reasonable" comment, I think many more people would agree with me than you.

Yeah, Novak responded to the idle drag, dunno if you saw that.

Haaaaaave ya met Draken? :) But yeah, this isn't really the same thing as when a modern jet does it on purpose, I know. I just wanted an excuse to post that video :D

EDIT: it censored my track file name? wasn't expecting that! well played, wags. fuckinglightsplease.trk

A friend and I took turns locking eachother with the MiG-21 radar. When I was behind him, in search mode, his RWR indicated a lock (constant tone and constantly lit 'eyes'). When I locked him, his RWR stayed this way. When I unlocked, turned off my radar and even broke away, his RWR still indicated a lock. Mine did the same. Cycling RWR power on and off did not help, so we had to mute them in the end. Thus, maybe two bugs: inability to distinguish between lock and search, and RWR not understanding when lock has ceased, even after there are no possible radar contacts in the vicinity and power to RWR has been cycled on and off. Of course, it could be the radar being bugged instead.
