I'm going to assume by "basic" you mean one of the first variants of the Su-30s. A full Su-27 would be hard enough to even get the proper licensing and systems data for. The most you could get with a 30 is an FC3 level module, and the time and demand for those types of aircraft are dying away as the sim has leaned less in the current decade towards simulating the latest technology used in air combat in "enough" detail and is instead leaning into developing aircraft to extensive detail of systems and flight modelling regardless of age. I like the way it's been going, honestly; it gives us a better look at how the aircraft actually functioned. When it comes to two seater aircraft, a realistic experience is always the best, unless it is executed poorly. However, I don't see any sort of good possibility of a Su-30 making it's way into DCS as a full-fidelity model. There's just not enough information that will be handed to the developer to make a PFM-ASM Su-30, as the aircraft is too new for anyone to get their hands on the required documents that are likely still classified. Now, if you mean "full-fidelity basic" as in PFM with SSM, if there were a percentage rating, I'd say 99% sure it's still not going to happen. As I said, the desire for ED to develop more FC3 level aircraft is weakening (and has been for quite a few years now), especially considering they haven't finished upgrading the MiG-29 and Su-33 yet.

Exiting the aircraft after a successful ground attack at Novorossiysk. The pilot is as stoic as ever.

Goin' pretty high! One downed, three left after a furball.

I wish my server wouldn't host multiple images in 720p when I tell it to not resize...

The jammers work automatically when you're being spiked. There's no need to manually switch the music on like the FC3 aircraft. It also automatically sorts to the threat that's spiking you, if I recall correctly. For example, if a MiG is spiking you and you're in SAM1 mode, it'll switch to AIR mode. Besides, you can live without the jammer. Thing's almost a paperweight.

Come! Rise from your grave, dead thread!

Had some fun a few nights ago with the F-15C. 104th Phoenix, unknown mission (probably Armageddon). Action really starts kicking in around 7 minutes. Not really proud of my merging and defensive skills at the moment. Although I didn't get hit until I was out of flares, I really should've been a little more conservative with my countermeasures. When I say the mic is louder in the video, I mean it. I have found a solution for it; switched from Nvidia recording software to OBS, MUCH better now. :) Be warned, some "colorful vocabulary" from other players, but of course that's as to be expected. Any constructive criticism of my skills in combat is much appreciated.

If you're talking about this being a problem with side-profile shapes, the seeker head on an infrared missile is the reason for the black dot; judging by your comment though, you already understand this. The black dot will still be visible if viewed from the side thanks to the seeker's non-flat shape, albeit slightly harder to see.

yeah, skin is still rather glossy. good on you for getting these updates through so timely, though. :) also, pylon 13 doesn't work correctly. it would be nice to add the location of the pylons on the payload editor diagram of the aircraft, but i can deal without, esp. considering it's beta.

i put some R-33s in pylons 9 through 4 to simulate the izdeliye 810 missile. said to be an updated version of the R-37M. worked well, took out a B-52 at approx 100 km firing distance also, remember, as you are using 27 avionics, some A-G ordinance doesn't work correctly.

not so much a formation as it was a mass of metal on the aerobatics online server last night we went from kutaisi to tblisi, these are the people who managed to show up at the destination, other than two other aircraft who were having some trouble and couldn't taxi the whole way. i'm in the bare metal viggen on the left.

cubanace's PAK-FA just released under "beta"; having a little bit of fun with it

a couple of possible bugs if weapon selection is set to the R-73, stick will deflect to full right, controls are not affected body seems to be awfully reflective...not sure if this is a thing on the real aircraft though but those are no matter when compared to the detail of the modelling. excellent work for a mod.

"Ivan, where are you?" "5000 meters and climbing, Dmitry!"

has to be song1, song2, song3, so on and so forth IIRC if you delete song1 after moving "song2" in, make sure to rename song2 to song1 and adjust the rest of them accordingly to make sure it works

energetic and really does sound like a song from the golden age of synth

16 120's? the new Ace Combat Real Life Edition looks great

When you can't find the clipboard in the house so you resort to using your old phone case as a kneeboard :P

as ignorant as i am, this is more of a question than any sort of statement...isn't the 27K basically the same as the 25T in A-G functionality?

Having some fun doing quick mods. This MiG-25RBT probably took around half an hour of work to get it working "good enough." Decided to do the reconnaissance version instead of the PD this time around. I wonder how recon would be implemented (especially in multiplayer) if someone made a module for it...I also wonder if I could learn some EFM coding with a template and the 25. Would be good fun, I suppose.

i don't know where you guys are going with this. i've never been affected in the same way by a computer monitor as opposed to real light when it comes to natural night vision. red is proven to be the best color for night lights, but so what. i personally don't give much of my opinion just because he wants some white lights instead of red, it's not going to ruin his night flying. just give him some bloody help with his attempts at modding or don't bother replying to the thread. he could color his cockpit pink for all i care, it's his choice.

that's like asking "why would you want your su-27 camouflaged like the ground instead of the sea?" :doh: it's his preference, not yours. no reason to ask. to OP: i think leatherneck basically did their own way of coding with the lighting system in the cockpit. it's not like any flaming cliffs pit where the lighting is a simple texture that fades in by pressing a key; i think it would be really hard to find the code to change that color. i'll look into it myself

Soganlung's not flat at all.
