@ FLANKERATOR As an european I like the EF and Rafale just as much :) . Both EF and Rafale are multyroles but AFAIK the Eurofighter was created as a air to air fighter first and air to ground second (That is why France stepped out).So france created the Rafale which was intended to be first a air to ground plane and second air to air. So the EF has higher thrust to weight and lower wing loading.While the Rafale is probably better suited for ground atack roles.But as the video shows the Rafale is a great dogfighter as well.

Video was awesome!

Imho the AFM is 70% or more of the work.What is left to be done is a clickable cockpit. I'm buying the sy27 and f15 upgrades because i'm an air to air nut :) and i want to support ED. Whould have wanted to see realistic jammers being implemented more than AFM though.

Can you play at different resolutions than 1920 x 1080 on a Lcd, led tv? lower resolusions i mean.

@zaelu Does the su30 have any kind of ground atcking , or sead capability with this mod? I can't get any kind on video image on the cockpit display when i press o with any weapon? I do appreciate your eforts as moder even though i can't get it to work right.

I don't understand why Israel absolutly needs to destroy the s300 bateries ? What if syria declares war to israel? Even if the russians don't get involved why risk an all out pointles war over a few sam batteries that are just a "speed bumb"?

Is sais "connection interrupted" the whole day for me to.After i gunned down an enemy ground atack plane with my su27 i got kicked.Somebody got mad probably because this is surely a ban. And same message on AKADO guns only server.Hope this is not permanet.Was not even informed what i did rong.

@Viperrm64 Do you mind sharing those su27 skins ? It's ok if not possible.

Es passiert auch oft fur mich.Der spiel ist nicht stabil genug denke ich. Aber ich habe eine alte 32bit system und das ist teil der problem fur mich.

What i know is that tha naval Kashtan has some kind of electro-optical targeting system in case they're radars are jammed or destroyed.It's specialy designed to function efficiently if necesary without radar suport.The sa19 could have the same optical tageting system but this is my speculation. I do belive the radar complex on a ship offers an advantage but this is again just my speculation.

Sa19 killed with mavericks.Just need to fire 3-4. a10 sa19 kill 1.trk

From wikipedia about Kashtan: "it provides defence against anti-ship missiles, anti-radar missiles and guided bombs" so the bug could be that in game sa19 can't destroy bombs :)). But beyound the fact the Kashtan and sa19 use the same missiles i don't know how similar this sistems are. In the end i want to say i also love to blow sh== up with my a10c more than i like the sa19.

The sa19 uses the same missiles as the Kashtan russian navy CIWS.And Kashtan is a system specialy designed to engage and destroy other missiles.Especially cruise missiles and balistic. The maverick is a very slow missile and has a high balistic trajectory wich makes it vulnerable to anti missile systems. But in real life the maverick was never fired at any sa19 so no one realy knows for sure what happens. I don't know wich version of the sa19 is simulated in the game.Early versions were designed to shoot down helicopters and were less effective or could not shoot down missiles at all. That is what i know but i'm no expert.It's possible i'm rong.

Prowler take all the time you need. I belive our comunity wants nothing short of top notch simulators.So why rush things ? Therewere a few persons that belived the huey project was dead and look how that turned out :P.

@ Crescendo You could go to altitude with your radar facing nose down.If you spot somebody, even if they eventually hide you can guess where they will come out, so you have a big advantage while mentaining your superior altitude which in turn is an advantage. Also while flying low in a canyon if you know how to use your avionics, sensors, you can kill and evade others efficiently. For me fighting close renge is "pretty adrenaline filled " and rewarding even when i lose to a worthy adversary.But i hold nothing against people that like bvr duels.

I can give you a few tips : maybe you know this already if not then here it is: -For russian su27: Fire your missile and then turn to put the enemy plane at 60 degrees on your hdd(head down display) without braking radar lock.This way the enemy missiles will fly longer trying to reach you.This is caled beaming the missile. And when you fire another missile always turn back to 0 degrees(with the nose towards the target) because firing while turning take some of the missiles energy. Since 1.2.4 the r27er and probably r version lose track very rapidly of the enemy plane.So try to fire a r27er and a r27et one after the other. What i can tell you about the f 15: -if fighting a su27 try to estimate when you enter the r27et range because this heatseaking missile has a big chance of hitting you ,unlike the r27er wich can be defeated with small turns.So whait for the right time, fire one aim 120 or two or more,then disengage when you feel you're in r27et range and make an out of plane diagonal 180 turn towards the ground while popping flares.After a while you could reengage.Don't stay around to look at the possible prety enemy plane hit by one of your missiles explosion because you could also turn into an explosion :) . -Also if somebody is tracking you on radar and your speed vector is perpedicular with the bandit's speed vector and the bandit while tracking you is at higher altitude, looking down then he will lose radar contact with you for a short while.This is caled notching or being in the notch. -if you see that the enemy has a big altitude advantage, speed of other big advantage then brake the fight and head for home.No point in ofering somebody an easy kill.The greatest aces of all time(Manfred von Eichthofen,Erich Hartman) said they only engaged an enemy when having an advantege. If you fly the f15 you should only go into into a dogfight with a su27 if you have an advantage.Otherwise avoid a dogfight with a su 27 because it will keep turning at speed at wich the f15 falls out of the sky and has the r73 high off-boresight missile wich is superior to the aim 9m and p. From what i've seen the mig 29 is not as good in a dogfight as the su27 but still better then the f 15. A common mistake i've seen online in close dogfighting: when somebody chases me and i have an optimum turning speeed i turn tightly in horisontal plane. Most players i seen try to match my turn also turning in a horisontal plane.And most of them fail to turn as tightly when they have higher airspeed and overshoot. What they should do when they see they can't match the turn is go up, exchange speed for altitude,do a high yo-yo and come behind the target after it finishes the horisontal plane turn. I hope i gave you at least a little extra information.

I'm far from being an expert in modern weapons: But The sa19 tunguska system uses the same 9M311 (NATO: SA-19/SA-N-11) missile family as the naval Kashtan CIWS system which is designed to engage and destroy other missiles so there could be some level of realism involved here.I don't know if it can,in real life, destroy maveriks and alarms or just cruise missiles and anti-ship.

1.2.4 AAM performance 1.2.4 AAM performance seem about the same as 1.2.3.If this is as real as it gets i welcome it especially because i enjoi WVR combat.The aim 120c reaches 4000 km/h speeds now though. What do you guys think of 1.2.4 AAM performance? missile track1.trk

Sometimes when i want to replay a multiplayer track i get at trhe start a menu with many plane options i can join and the option "cancel".But i can't see the actual track whatever i do. When i choose a plane and hit start i get to take off and fly around but no track. When i hit the cancel button nothing hapens. Is there some way to see this kind of tracks?

After hitting the ground the bullets tumble and twist, loose a lot of energy, and hit the underside of the tiger's armour at a steep angle, not 90 degrees.It's next to impossible to penetrate 1 inch armour in such conditions. In my opinion the video is fake.

DCS Su-27SM I've seen a thread about the DCS Su-27SM on the russian side of the forum but i can't read russian that well. Does anybody know detailes about the development of DCS Su-27SM ? Is it produced by ED ?

RIP.

Although i have a great deal of appreciation for ed's work,and at the moment i own every product ED has marketed and will continue to buy them as they get released,sometimes i question myself: why do the a10 a cockpit when you have DCS A-10C ? why make great models for A-50, E3, An-26B, An-30M, E-2D, E-3C and leave the su33,f16,mig29 just to name a few with the old ones?

I hope the huey lands soon.So i can get on board.
