I had the chance to watch F-16 and F-15 pilots practice a BVR "grind" over the gulf via satellite at Egland AFB. These were simulated engagements with the Aim-120C against other pilots playing adversary. You could see each pilot's HUD on the display screens, about 6 at a time. The grind consisted of approximately 20nm separating 2-ship teams, about 6-8 pilots total. They took turns launching 120s and covering the other's egress. The adversary would be faced with a wall of amraams and be unable to enter the airspace (or die). So, the professionals practice with the idea that they need additional support to "launch and leave" while keeping an acceptable pk for the missile. That kind of teamwork (and discipline) is pretty rare for your typical multiplayer server, but it would be interesting to see what can be done with the F/A-18C once it has the capability (with the F-15's boy-scout radar I don't think it's worth basing opinions on it). Another difference is engagement altitude. Your typical multiplayer engagement is close to the ground because of the absence of SAMs. Missile range increases with altitude, and while DCS missiles might be short-legged, the vertically challenged combat of multiplayer exaggerates the effect. :thumbup:

Welcome to DCS. :) The wait for 100% is going to be even longer than the most pessimistic person here thinks, but it will be worth it.

What the heck is this? I've never seen it before. Now multiplayer is unavailable and I have 2+ days to play offline. Internet connection is 100% OK, obviously.

The Mig-29 doesn't carry 10 missiles, and its FM feels wooden compared to the Su-27. Those are the reasons why you don't see it in multiplayer, I guess. I own FC3, but rarely use it. If you like DCS modules you will get bored quickly, unless you want to spam a single target with 4 missiles multiplayer.

Everything here takes twice as long as any reasonable estimate. It's going to be a long ride, so relax check back in 2019.

Ah, I exploded in midair today, too. Didn't look like I was hit by a missile at all.

Hi there, I think this server has some really good missions and matchups. I really prefer it to the servers with mixed DCS/FC3 modules. That said, have you guys considered the EWRS script? The poor AWACs on the red side cannot keep up with all of the "bogey dope" requests.:joystick:

Everything costs twice as much money and takes twice as long to complete than what a normal person expects. I still enjoy the Mig-21, and I will never buy a trainer or something that doesn't do combat for DCS. If money is what's needed to move forward, then don't waste your time on an unarmed biplane.:music_whistling: P.S. Do you have a link to a video or something that shows how the DCS Mig-21 isn't behaving correctly? Just playing around with it in single player with a clean configuration I can different max AoA results doing different things. What is the definitive test?

2019.:doh:

Having tried to command a tanker to hold a constant airspeed with the ME, I totally concur with the spirit of this thread.

Yes, I like that one.

Makes sense then. Including it in the weekly news to ramp up excitement is a bit confusing, that's all.

Fair enough. Thanks!

I read the FAQ and did a forum search. I don't have a lot of time these days. Will the F-18 have JHMCS? This is the main thing I'm looking for in the sim. Thank you.:thumbup:

The mission maker can always remove MW50 for the 109 and 190. None of them do.;)

I couldn't get my throttle to idle. I checked all kinds of settings and I was about to report a bug when...I hear something rolling around inside the throttle. Sure enough, a marble was in there, and it prevented the throttle from moving back to the idle position.:lol:

83 pages? Crimeny! Any help for updating a 1.5 or 2.2 install to the open beta would be appreciated. Instructions are lost in the mountain of posts. Old dos prompt update commands don't seem to work: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 Thanks.

And lose the argument decisively. Not everything is opinion.;) -------------- For my part, I would be fine flying on a fictional map, but I wouldn't buy one.

Easy? :lol: In 3 years we might have 1 soviet WWII plane...might. ;)

Above 250mph IAS is a good rule of thumb for the altitudes of multiplayer combat. At that speed you have options and won't get caught up by someone who just made a high-g turn to avoid your attack.

Strangely enough, the racing wheel makers still use ffb. The tech is still in use, just not by joystick makers.

Love that stick, and DCS supports ffb better than any other sim on the market.

Surely your wife has her own weaknesses that you can exploit here? Shoes? Haircuts? New outfits?:D

I'll believe that when they finally make an Albatros D.Va that can stall.
