I sometimes switch to backup "net" reticle mode. Can't be bothered with all those steps while the target is maneuvering in front of me.

AI know everything and see everything.

I would say give the MiG-29 a spin. If you manage not to crash it whilst taking off, it will provide you with lots of fun. Agile, speedy and very nice looking airframe it is. Has no DL like the Flanker and the radar is quite limited, but in a dogfight it's like a shark. The S variant carries R-77s and you can hang 6 of them. At higher altitude and on a full burner it will go Mach 2.0, but not for long as the fuel capacity is modest.

Not sure if it helps anyone, but I always trim the aircraft a bit nose-up before any takeoff. Some 3-4 trim circles. This helps me have somewhat stable takeoff. Last time I forgot to do this, takeoff felt like a rodeo show.

Check if the autopilot is on when this happens.

Oh wow, I wish I had know this earlier. Thanks for the explanation @dundun92. This basically means that DCS is next to completely useless in MP. Thanks once again.

Thanks for the explanation. Not only that, but also my wing man saw the same thing, so I am guessing that the issue was on the A-10C's side.

What does desync actually mean? Heard it a lot, but dunno what it is.

I am not sure if it's the damage model or the connection, but the two last A-10C I have hit with R-73 in MP, were both visibly damaged and leaking hydraulics and/or fuel, but kept flying. One shot was 8 o'clock co-alt and the other almost 90 deg from above.

Ok I did some testing and it appears that in SP the A-10C does indeed go down after an R-73 hit. However, in MP it does not. I will provide a TacView file as soon as dig one up.

No trolling here. I am not talking about real life, but DCS exclusively. It does happen and I can provide videos of course. What was the A-10 version in your video? Why does your R-73 not produce any smoke?

I was not really sure where to post this one as it's a combo of FF module, FC3 and DCS World. Why does it take 2 R-73s to take down an A-10C? It happens at any aspect consistently, so it's definitely a uniform damage model.

Yes, but there is some speed range that the radar expects when separating the target from the ground, right? I mean if your closure speed drops outside this range, the radar will loose track.

Yeah looks like I jumped the gun on this one.

Why is this?

I am having similar issues. It's most noticeable when: on ground (airport) engaging in close combat (<3km) and on deck I've tried updating my nVidia drivers, but the issue is still there. It happens more often in MP but also in SP. i5-4690 (clocked to 4.2 GHz) 16GB DDR3 RAM GTX 1660 Super (4GB) 500GB SSD

Maybe this video helps you understand why -->

Is the value 1200km/h supposed to be TAS instead of IAS? Seems that at 11km altitude that 1200km/h IAS is around 2.2M.

@BBCRF here is the plot for 2650kg (29%) of fuel: Seems to be nearly identical to the one above, in terms of curve shape and air speeds at which the peak of the climb rate happens. Note: value at 300km/h for 5000m altitude has been added there to make the shape of the curve look nicer. Hi @Ironhand, and thanks for sharing the manual info. The purpose of this research is to show the actual flight performance (in this case climb) of the Su-27 within DCS it self. I always like to know what exactly I am dealing with and these graphs help in illustrating just that.

There is a strange dip that happens on both altitudes around 600km/h, which is quite strange. Also while testing, I was under the impression that there is quite strange behaviour in general, but I can't put my finger on it.

No problem, I will also do the tests with this fuel load.

Did some flight testing of my own inside DCS of the Su-27's climb performance: Environment: 20deg OAT, 1013hPa Load out: 2 x R-73, 2 x R-27R Weight: 26.583kg (90% fuel) Altitudes: 1000m and 5000m MSL, respectfully Seems that at: 1000m alt Vy (best rate-of-climb) is around 700km/h IAS and Vx (best angle-of-climb) is around 450km/h 5000n alt Vy (best rate-of-climb) is around 650km/h IAS and Vx (best angle-of-climb) is around 580km/h

On a Su-27, flying at 2000km/h TAS at 12.000m altitude, R-27ER has RMax greater than the current burn through distance.

It was the comment about the "AMRAAM vs Su-27" video.
