So I just got shot down by the AI in a mission I'm testing. The AI fired a 120B into a dogfight, the missile went pitbull and I was in its line of sight. "Never fire an Aamraam into a dogfight!" Doesn't the AI know this!?:mad:;)

Falcon 3 did not have smart scaling. It had simple object magnification. When Falcon 4 came out 1280x1024 res was coming into use. The irony is that even with smart scaling turned off, you can still see aircraft more easily in Falcon 4 than in DCS, and it is 16 years old. :doh:

I tried their 2000C for the sake of comparison after I purchased the Razbam module. It is very far below what we have here. A DCS 2000-5 would be nice, of course. The reason why constantly see requests for upgraded Su-27s, Mirages, and other aircraft is because we'd like to see something that can compete with the F-15C. DCS multiplayer is a wasteland of F-15C spam and the only thing that can mitigate is another Fox-3 fighter with a radar powerful enough for BVR engagements.

I know, you are both correct. I do not know how to reliably reproduce it so putting some evidence forward is difficult.

No, Zeus just confirmed that TWS still has a bug that causes you to drop targets shortly after you bug them, especially if you maneuver or roll. He said it's a bug that ED has to fix. Losing lock in STT happens to me frequently too, even when the target is above the horizon. So far as I know STT works as it should, but I find it suspicious. Same here.

To be charitable we have to conclude that Wags made an honest mistake when he said that. I remember that remark, and how uncritically some took it as true that smart scaling changes the RCS because he said so.

Just tested with the latest NTTR. The gunsight still doesn't show enough lead. If you put the sight right on the Mig-15 you shoot underneath.

Thank you. Your quick responses are much appreciated!:yes:

I'm losing lock against targets that are at a higher altitude and closer than 20nm. It seems to happen when I roll quickly or change heading quickly. Has this bug returned? This is with both 1.5.4 and 2.0.3.

Got it to turn on, but it took 15+ minutes of warm up time. Isn't it about 5 minutes in 1.5.4?

Anyone else seen this? The radar fails to warm up and turn on in NTTR. Do I need to resave the mission?

The 190 is the best of the three. It has a truckload of 20mm ammo. It's fast, climbs well, rolls like a top, and has excellent control authority at all airspeeds.

Perfect, thank you!

How would I input these coordinates into the Mirage's INS? They are from a multiplayer map for 2.0: 11 S NA 91257 05305 11 S NA 86136 13835 These are supposed to be somewhere in Parump, Nevada, but they look nothing like the lat/lon coordinates I see on the F-10 map. Thanks.

Before the RWR update, the Aim-120 showed up as a separate symbol on the RWR, and only when it went pitbull. That is what Razbam should find out from ED on its own. It seems logical that if it works correctly in one module, then it should be possible to make it work in another.

You don't need to explain the difference between STT and TWS, please. In these cases I've already decreased the azimuth and limited to a 2 bar or 1 bar elevation. As soon as the target is dropped, the radar immediately picks it back up again (after I have to move the tdc and change the elevation back to where it was), so the target did not disappear from the radar's search pattern. The target can be flying straight and level, inside 30nm, and TWS drops them within a predictable interval of time, every time. It's an unannounced change in behavior with one of the recent patches. If it is an intended change I will gladly listen and adjust.

Oxymoron is not a personal attack. It is a noun for a term or phrase that contains a contradiction, e.g. "a deafening a silence." Your preference for Steam and dislike of DRM is not an oxymoron, technically, but it does seem like a double standard.;)

Can you wait until they fix ffb in the 109K-4?:joystick:

I've never missed it.

The recent ctd bug is a pain, but the module itself is excellent and among the very best in DCS.

Yes, TWS drops a bugged target very easily.

Known bug. You'll have to turn off your radar until 2.0 is patched, or fly 1.5.

I've seen good people from other sims come to DCS and get negative rep quickly... all because they dared to argue with a knucklehead who somehow had a lot of rep power, and there are a few of those on the forum. (No one in this thread!):smilewink:

One month later FFB stickshake is still not functional. We've had two 1.5 updates since the reply to the support ticket: :cry:

Same bug with the latest version of 1.5.x against the AI F-4. I'm guessing this bug was introduced when the R-60M was made to be all-aspect?
