Hi, i am not sure what this is called exactly. but most fighter jest have this. it is used in dogfighting where you need to have eye contact on your enemy. it is a yellow line/strip in the roof of your cockpit which indicates heading of aircraft and the angle your target from your nose. i dont think i have seen the f-15 have it which makes dogfighting harder than it would have been with that line. i hope you understand what im trying to say, but is there a mod or something i can use to make the f-15 have it?

Hi, i feel like it is time to improve my knowledge of this game so i am seeking out for a squadron to join. i mostly like to fly fighter jets and do bvr+dogfighting but other tasks are also fun. stuff i wanna go deeper into is how to be more effective in BVR fighting and dogfights. :pilotfly: if someone have room feel free to post or pm me :) i like to fly the f-15 mostly, but also mig 29, su 27 or 33. it doesnt really matter for me which aircraft.

Hi, i searched the forums but i didnt find a post about this. How do you effectively use countermeasures (chaff, flares,ecm,ir jammer)? i know that chaff is for radar guided missiles and flares are for ir missiles. but what is the best way to use them? like whenever i see a ir missile is fired at me i just spam some flares, but is there a certain way to get them to be more effecive than spamming them wildly? also how do you use chaff? im not sure when to deploy them when a missile is fired at me. any advice is good advice, thanks :)

ok, i updated to that new catalyst and i put my graphics down to 1280x1024 and set everything on low. still i get the choppy graphics. i still have fps issues. it is strange since i get exactly the same if i run at 1900x1200 on high settings.

i have uploaded dxdiag now, look at first post :)

Hi, is it just me or does not the f-15 have an autopilot after 1.2.8? i know you can do heading hold and altitude hold now. but im not able to put autopilot on anymore so that it follows a flight pattern. Like when flying campaign missions its really chill to put autopilot on and enjoy the view, but that is not possible anymore(for me) any ideas?? i also dont see autopilot keys in options-controlls

hi, before the 1.2.8 patch was applied i was able to play this game at high settings without any kinds of lag, except for when bombs hit the ground for example the instant action f-15 mission where the bombers release like 50 bombs. it makes me lag when they hit the target. But now, i am not even able to play the game on lowest possible settings without experiencing lag. it happens in solo or mp. anywhere i go i get some fps issues. funny thing is that i seem to get the same kind of lag even if i have on low or high setting. i think the Fps issues is from the added smoke ingame. you know the black trail jet planes leave behind them now after 1.2.8. Also when flying a helicopter and going near the ground when the dust animation kicks in. i get massive lags, almost so much lag that i cant controll my helicopter and almost crash to the ground. it is really horrible. i have read some of the performance guides on the forum but noone has any concrete solutions. i dont know what do, i wanna lay down and cry pls help me to get better performance, im desperate DxDiag.txt

ok, so is there any place where i can learn the stuff that the awacs is telling me when i call him? all i hear is bogey dope 245 at 405 blablablabal. if i could understand what hes saying i guess it would be easier to fly the f-15

hmm, i guess its not that hard to modell the datalink in the f-15 since all the russian fighters already have it. i guess 1 hour of coding and its done. i dont understand why russian aircraft has this major feature while the f-15 which is supposed to be very "technological" dont have it ingame

So, we all know this advantage that russian aircraft has. they can be silent hunters never needing to open theyr radars to spot theyr targets, they can just look at theyr radar screen which shows you the targets that your awacs or radar systems have found for you. in a 1vs1 where there are no awacs around i think the f15 has the upper hand. but in maps where both sides have awacs availabale i find the russian aircraft has a massive advantage since the F-15 cannot lock on its radar to see the aircraft our awacs have spotted. am i just stupid or do the f-15 have this ability too? why did noone of the american researchers think of this idea that the russians did by implementing awacs radar to your plane. or is it just not modelled into the game yet? anyways to the point, how do i play the f-15 in a scenario where the enemy side has awacs? i find it easier to fly low and hide than going high where everyone can see you. can i use my awacs for something?

well tacview is out the door for me. for having that extra work just to watch the replay is unnacceptabale for me. i hope they someday make it so you cant watch matches in realtime so that servers will allow it again

why cant you turn tacview off real time so we can use it again? man goddammit. i find 1 good program and its "banned" from the game pretty much

why is this a cheat anyways? is it cheating to see how you did?

isnt there any other options than this? it pretty much renders this beautiful program useless. can you bypass this in some kind of way?

hi, i just installed tacview and i think its really funny to watch how i fly. but its not working in MP. when i try to load the track when i finished flying its 1kb andis not viewabale. it seems to be like this for every server i join. it is kinda sad i think since it has great potential to learn from it. it is pretty much a wasted programs since noone usually play offline. can anyone help me to get it to work in mp please?

ah sry, i was flying approx 1600kmh which is about 1.4 mach if im not to mistaken

this is a typical scenario i am in. i fly at 50k feet. i find an enemy thats on 20k feet below and is 20NM away. i fired 1 aim 120c at him and pointing my nose to him before i fire. the missile misses. im still at 50k feet closing in to 15nm and firing my other missile still pointing my nose to him first. both missiles misses. aim 120C how? why? i have a height advantage of 30k feet and is 15nm away from him. how can 2 of these missiles miss ? it happens alot for me

is it a known issue that the aim 120 is much worser than the russian missile?

what do you mean WIP?

Hi, i am pretty new to this game but i know the basic radar stuff. But i find the aim 120c missile to have awkwardly short range. i can always find and spot an enemy on my radar and wait for him to get into my launch range. but by the time my missile has impacted the missile explosion is just a couple of km away from me. i feel that the enemy fighter is very close to me until the missile actually impact it. also i feel that the aim 120 in general has a very low range. i always have to be very close to my enemy for the launcher zone to get into the Green box for a bigger chance to hit the enemy. if i fire if its outside the green box i always miss my target if its an enemy player. if i want to be ensured a hit i must be like 7 or so NM away from the target and i feel i would have a better chance to hit with my aim 9. what am i doing wrong? any tips or trick that i can use to improve the range of the aim 120?
