Ah, so its not obsolete yet Thanks!

I dont see :( Which mod is the current standard? I had a scan through the forum and searched a few terms but couldnt find a similar mod or an updated version. What am I missing? Thanks!

Heck I have trouble keeping the dang thing from stalling without some level of AB, whether flying straight or turning, and I mean turning leisurely. Can anyone say if the Viggen IRL was flown almost exclusively on AB, or is that just me? In youtubes I have seen, the pilot (DCS pilots that is) hardly ever left AB.

Im pretty sure I did read about incompatible AG mixes in the manual...

"Advanced AI" is a bulletpointed feature prominent in DCS advertising materials. I don't want to downplay how hard it must be to create an AI capable of controlling different aircraft under an almost unlimited variety of situations, but it must be admitted that the present AI is...less than impressive. Is there any known effort being made on this?

The radars field of view only extends 1.5 degrees below the horizontal, so you pretty much have to be below your target to paint him, if that helps.

The nozzle is adjusted to manage the area of the aperture, this manages the mass flow of exhaust gases, maintaining the efficiency of the nozzle, and also managing internal engine pressures. If nozzle pressures are too high, instead of flowing out of the nozzle, they can flow forward back into the combustion chamber, and in extreme cases out through the front of the engine - this is called an "un-start" and is...quite bad. It is likely that the nozzle opens before the AB is lit as the nozzle is not directly controlled by the exhaust gases. If the nozzle were closed when the AB was lit, the sudden jump in exhaust pressure (caused by the increased mass flow without increasing the diameter of the nozzle) may well trigger an un-start. tl:dr - open the door before you run through it.

I didn't "vote" because all options were "vote for my choice". An F4 study sim would be nice of course of course, but aside from the two seater difficulties (I don't really want an AI backseater, nor do I want to have to rely on an online one either) I'd rather have the F105 thunderchief - greater variety of missions and stores (plus its a one-seat) and its a major contemporary of the MiG21.
