As for now you just qualified Wikipedia of "unreliable" without even showing hard data yourself. Ok Just kidding. Just to be pointy - Studiing history, Wikipedia helped me a LOT. Wikipedia can be a great source of data but can be wrong, As ANY source of data, cross check of things are often necessary. I just can't stand the way you put it :D Old people on the forum will now feel even more older. :music_whistling:

Let's put it that way. You have a ENORMOUS range advantage. Why are you merging ? I would maintain standoff, and shot targets from range. As per my stats since mid november : Missile Shot Hit Acc% R-27ER 27 8 30% R-27ET 11 4 36% R3-R 14 12 86% Beyond those numbers - I use a lot the R-27 as a "get the **** out of my area" missile. I won't go deep in my tactics but at least half missiles are just expanded to have the target where I want it to be (or away from where he doesn't have to go). So even taking that into account, that still a good 60% vs 86% accuracy. Also, the two missed shot with R3-R, I clearly recall those, I just shot in a situation where the missile couldn't physically hit the target so my mistake. Conclusion : R-3 series is just "shot once and have a cynical laugh". while the R27 series is more a "lottery" missile - even at comparable range. I would actually love to have some on my Su-27. That is DCS data, I don't take any real data or tactics into account since DCS isn't reality. :D

Despite I would side with the OP opinions, GGtharos clearly explained the current situation. :smartass: Regarding IFR - I don't see where a "black switch" is needed. First - Easy way - You can just set fog to 30 centimeter. Second - Realistic way - Just NOT look thru the windows - You pan your view down to the instrument and fly without lifting the head. This is one of my favorite exercice. :)

Whoaw. Don't ask too much - We are already waiting for the Manual to be finished, and the F-86 manual. :D

La spécification, c'est que s'il était armable dans DCS, personne n'achèterais l'autre. :D

ARH missiles shot at BVR range are just too easy to dodge if they are not supported by the launcher. You just turn, then the missile will not even see you once. It's a way way harder against a skilled pilot who knows his TWS and use his ARH as SARH (keeping the lock as far as possible so the missile get updates before going active)

Warning tho : using this online will get you banned asap. :music_whistling:

Nooo that is perfect : You just have to fly to any ennemi AO to find a great population of airborne target without defense :D

Spintires is on sales on steam - still 7 hours to go. I bought a couple of copy yesterday for me and my wingman.... Hell.... I can not recall how many years it has been since the last time I laughed so hard at a game. :lol: It is a really great game, I warmly recommend it. Cooperative mode is awesome and well done, you can tow your friend out of the mud, recon roads for the truckers, repairs people and refuel them... The whole thing of the game is to carry wood from A to B, with small carriage or "russian" style carriage. Oh yeah, unlike Truck Simulator- forgot about that nice Highway. No such shit in there. Just mud, mud, mud, and eventually some ditches. Graphically, it is just about the best thing I ever saw. Well... didn't played latest casual game either but the mud is moving dynamically, as the water is. Trees and bushes bend and fold realistically. They is still some stuff to polish like commands and camera view.

IR Sight has been improved ! It doesn't detect IR yet ..... but it removes the trees :P

Hi there, I'm helping an Indian player to get setup with Digital Combat Simulator. Does anyone know shop in India that could sell decent joystick and trackIR ? I'm from Belgium and it's not like I know a lot of shops in India. :thumbup: Thanks !

TrackIR Randomly fail. You start a game you don't have trackIR anymore. Need to restart the whole game. No issue whatsoever in others simulators. I wouldn't complain if this wasn't part of a long series of bugs.

Oh.... Wait.... the date... what a shame :P

I-don't-recall-who found a trick. Replay the file. It'll save properly in tacview .

Just override the mechanic ASC (can't recall the name) and you'll have a quite nice plane.

It would be nice to be able to launch the user/password entry when you are in the MP menu. When your password fail because the damn password save is bugged, you need to quit the game and relaunch it to try again. . . :music_whistling:

So is they a reason it is out of most server ? I'm loosing my head trying to follow what's broken, what's fixed, what's broken again :P

I want a Hawk

So far - Open beta patches are released to commercial version within a few day, a week at worst. And in most of the case, they is just no difference, despite all the bugs complain - then we see a hotfix coming afterward, following the same pattern. That is a personnal analysis and I may be wrong, but i think Open Beta is more a kind of "safety catch". If they is a major showstopper, like BOSD or CTDs, then they will hold up before releasing it to the standard version and just tell the OB users "sorry it's a beta, hold on for the fix", and rework it. If nothing MAJOR arises, then they release the patch a few days after, wether it's bugged or not. Note I have nothing wrong with this. :P I would also be interrested to know the customer ratio between OB and standard. It seems to me all the DCS drugged guyz are using openbeta, since all servers are still full after going to openbeta.

For the lock, that's simple - The attacker emit a beam of radar wave in the direction of the target. However, that beam isn't like a millimeter wide, so aircraft flying in close formation will also "receive" this beam, hence think they are locked too. When locked, separate from your wingman to understand who is under attack. I prefer the Russian RWR since it display emitter power, which can help you determine the range.

Bis is latin. very rarely used in France.

Is that weed on the texture ? ? ? I think that's not the barrels that smoke too much :D

can we get screenshot of the user manual ? :P

IFF don't run well in scan mode. I have a friendly fire due to this. I also nearly shot a friendly today but I lost the target. hopefully I found out he was friendly:smartass: For now, I shoot first, ask question later. SA is very important. Don't hesitate to text while engaging jammed targets.
