  1. Hey the entire idea was to have FC and DCS aircraft in same theater and mission. If ED drops FC aircraft from DCS World who'd fly the escort for the DCS:A-10C players? DCS:Mustang sally pilots?!
  2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1tmfINjY1U
  3. That's a throw-up bucket...
  4. Let him do a MiG-29 3D model...:music_whistling:
  5. To be more specific, during Su-27 development (early '80s) integration of R-33 was initially planned but final product N001 radar was uncapable of supporting it...back in the day the only "thing" in Soviet inventory that could run R-33 was N007 - Zaslon that was (finally) introduced in 1983 but it's 110cm antenna was too big for Flanker nosecone... So the only AC equipped with R-33 is Mig-31. Necromancer...
  6. ^^^^ That's what you get being strapped in the seat..
  7. I remember someone thinking the same, they lost that war...
  8. Pehaps the same as for a Bars 29 radar installed on Su-30MKI that already participated on Red Flag.
  9. There's no reason for it not to work in SP if it works in MP. MP has another issue which is a lag...from my personal experience, with lag greater than 200ms precise gun engagment is almost impossible.
  10. Simplified way to understand this is to imagine radar as a flashlight. Let's say 2 flashlights use same 2*AA type batteries, same light bulb etc. but still have a different efficiency... Perhaps one of them has larger mirror cone (larger antenna dia)? Perhaps they work with different frequencies producing different colors of radiated light (different oscillators)? Perhaps human eye can see the difference from 100m out? Perhaps TEWS can see the difference from 100km out?
  11. http://www.amazon.com/Jagdverband-44-Squadron-Experten-Aviation/dp/1846032946/ref=pd_sim_b_12 It's about first squadron equipped by Me-262. Sqn commander was Adolf Galland.
  12. When my target was right in the middle of the sight I fired and hit the outer two engines. Did you hard lock your target or you used funnel to do so? You see, gun pipper appears when you radar lock the taget and it shows where bullets fired at that particular moment land. If target moves you should pull some lead indicated by the pipper. But if you engage target from 6 o'c your onboard radar won't calculate the lead needed with lateral movement of the target.
  13. There's this one: Heinz Knoke - I flew for the Fuhrer https://portal.dnb.de/opac.htm?method=simpleSearch&query=943273544&fbt=8011863-984222650 Easy reading, I got it, read it few times...I keep it in my toilet for occasional reading these days... It's about and written by this fella: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_Knoke
  14. I did understand what you wrote and this Q wasn't actually going your way. ...read my post above this one and you'll understand what I'm trying to say is that TEWS simbology should be different for Su-27 and MiG-29.
  15. Now N019 and N001 are same considering the output power, however their PRF oscillators are not. This makes N001 more efficient in high/med PRF modes. Now since N019 and N001 oscillators differ, TEWS/RWR simbology shoud too...
  16. ...which is another proof that signal power is RWR's least concern in determining a threat type. BTW it was a rhetorical question.
  17. The fact that 29A and 27S have radars of same power... It comes from the fact that both Su-27 and MiG-29 have radars of same power which leads to conclusion that real RWR unscrambling is not based on radar power like some of us here think is by looking at the way things are in Falcon or DCS... Weak N019 signal from a weak N019 radar is still a diamond 29 in TEWS, isn't it...
  18. Phazotron N019 of MiG-29A uses modified (read: upgraded) twist cassegrain antenna of a Saphir-23ML. It's a very logical decision since overall MiG-29 development prolonged and MiG had to "push it out". On the other side, size of Fulcum and Flogger radome are similar so it was a poor man's fortune. On the other side NIIP Tihomirov tried to develop N001 radar so that it would outperform F-15 radars of that time (probably -63) with search range ~200km. They also tried to include the use of R-33 missiles. It was overly ambitious and they failed to achieve this. By that time ('82/'83) MiG-29 already began it's operational service in mainland CCCP so usage of N019 components was chosen. It was decided to use TS100 processor with a larger diameter version of N019 antenna. However, the average transmitted power of 1kW is the same with both N019 and N001. So about differentiating signals, let's say we've got two MiG-29A in the same space/same distance/same aspect. One of them has a fully functional or a brand new radar that emitts 1kW of power and his wingman flicks a radar that had more than 200 hours of usage and is uncapable of transmitting more than 300W... Do you think your average TEWS would indicate a 29 and 21 flying at you? edit: or two 29 icons but the one with functional radar being a bigger threat?
  19. I must admit that You and F-15C TEWS are right about this one, in fact Su-29 doesn't even have one! Here's the proof: LOL!!!
  20. Incoming F-15C DCS-World FC3 addon is FC3 level simulator. It's not as complex in featured sytems,avionics, sensors etc as pure DCS:A-10C and DCS:Ka-50 addons are.
  21. You can but you shouldn't. Don't mistake signal strenght LEDs as a range to threat meter with SPO. For instance, MiG-31 at 100km will appear more imminent than MiG-29 at 20km..It probably is but I'd rather take care of that MiG-29 first...
  22. I suggest manual stick and throttle input throughout IFR...
  23. ^^^^ What makes you wonder?
  24. Alfa, E is for Export...
