There is a bug tracker. Just not available for public.

That might be. I didn't follow recent bugs and patch notes.

There wasn't, I've been subject to FLOOD shots in a controlled environment where I only had a search indication and identified the launch and guidance of the missile with my eyes. The only reason FLOOD was a thing a because it was sneaky, if you got a lock tone from close range you would sure as hell know something's going on.

Does this mean no more infinite fuel after refueling to full? What? FLOOD never gave lock tone, it only gave a search radar away. Like as if you were in TWS.

But it never gave a lock tone before. I don't understand it. It used to give search radar signal in FLOOD, but no lock. Looking at the other items of the changelog it might be something with the translation.

Here's an idea: If you could somehow put the map behind all of this that would make it even better. I think there are probably ways to sync them so they work appropriately, but I'm not sure how :) Once you got that you could add other points of interests such as airfields, bullseye, etc.

DCS doesn't model a lot of environmental effects that would otherwise ruin IRST performance. For a start, clouds. :D Upon reading the question I thought the exact same. :D

:D

Considering that ECM modeling is the equivalent of a joke, I think it's a moot argument. :) /no offense to ED/

My original reply to the OP was the popcorn gif. :D

As GG said these things were added long before any AESA came along. I'm just saying that if the MiG-29 can have a R-77 that still isn't operational in Russia, we can probably have a datalink feature that was actually operational, even if only in small numbers.

http://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/monograph_reports/MR1235/MR1235.chap9.pdf Page 2 and 5/6. There appears to be 18 F-15C equipped with the 2nd class of said equipment. So I guess one could say it was indeed operational by the timeframe we're looking at.

So in short, you can "combine" 2 ultrasonic waves to create a virtual source at the point of convergence, and it'll "radiate" what comes from the interference. Still not sure if I got it right though.. With the typical frequency band fighters use I'm not sure if we can create higher wavelength through interference. And even if we could, it's extremely tough if not impossible to predict how they interfere. Datalink doesn't provide accurate enough information to properly and reliably line up the waves in specific phases. So you basically want to move around the point of convergence to gain angular resolution, and then somehow use the reflections from the virtual source of interfering signals. I like the idea, but to be honest I think it's a bit too overly complicated. So far the plan is to converge narrow beams at a point of space. The main problem I have to solve is how to add up signals of different frequency constructively. GG told me that I should look into how STAP works, that will probably help. How much, we'll see. :)

The basic idea is that stealth by design reflects the least possible energy towards to direction of the incoming source. Basically we're looking at angular coverage of the target. There are a bunch of approaches I've seen mostly referred as bistatic radars that use this, albeit I haven't heard of any practical applications yet. Mine is quite different from those, well, so far anyway. Unfortunately I think this is impractical. Frequencies above ~ 15 GHz suffer from heavy atmospheric attenuation therefore it probably wouldn't work well in medium to long ranges.

Hey guys! I'm on university and got about a year till my graduation. I want to write my thesis about radars and I need someone with a lot of theoretical knowledge to help. The subject in short is creating a concept of multistatic pulse doppler radars to fight stealth. Obviously this cannot be done in this amount of time, I'm rather looking to start a research that I can continue later, while I can use parts of it to form my thesis. If you know someone who is familiar with this stuff and is also willing to help, that would be really great. Thanks a lot!

You can't define it like that. We have a bunch of random capabilities from different times thrown together. Our Su-27 is the S version, now what capabilities it's missing I don't really recall. But from what I remember R-77 still isn't really in service IRL in Russia. F-15C has mostly features from 80s era, except for the AMRAAMS, specifically the C5 which is from ~ 1999. Albeit important things are missing from the missile, like not flying to last known intercept point in case bug is lost, and some other stuff. Essentially we have a downgraded slammer, and then I haven't mentioned the infamous guidance issues, but all of the missiles suffer from some sort of guidance problems, so that's fine I guess. We're also missing key features like datalink that already existed back in the 90s and the RWR is missing a ton of functionality.

I'd suggest to just wait until EDGE has been out for some time. I'm also looking to replace my whole system around summer, hopefully by that time we'll have a few months experience with it.

God forbid we get a funnel, most useless function ever.

Remember the sequence and you won't have any problem with it.

I'd be very careful with any tutorials. The vast majority of them are just bad. You're welcome. Have a nice day too!

Nothing will detect targets that are past beam aspect further than 25nm. Of course I'm speaking of fighter aircraft. Of course it does. If it didn't I wouldn't recommend people to use it. The point is that, inside 20nm if you stay in HPRF and the guy does any maneuvering you have a really good chance of losing him.

I imagine available intelligence on enemy equipment may also play a part in how things are set up.

I recall some car crashes being 200G and the driver survived. Some permanent injuries, but survived.

GG's point was that you can train for eternity, but if you trained the wrong stuff it doesn't matter. And even when you're pointed towards the right things, if you have the wrong attitude, it won't get you far.
