Dirty Rotten Flieger

Apparently the Swedes never carried more than two at a time because they cause too much drag and effect flight adversely. So I never carry more than two on inside wing pylons. I notice that if I carry some IR missiles on inside fuselage pylons with BK90 on inner wings , one of the sidewinders will fire when I try to launch BK90. I think that is a bug... I just carry rb24j on outside wings but this does limit rb74 carried with BK90

I have never used the BK90 because of the ugly Lag from so many munitions going off . I just tried it online and this is a working solution at least .I can use them online now against those damn BMP2 that never miss! Some cool real world footage

I have had some success putting one gun pod on one side and a counter measures pod on the other side ... I fire very short bursts and try to walk the tracers onto the target. Very hard to get a kill but lots of fun online. The IR missiles are very good for A2A so gun pod is more for fun.

My girl friend accused me of saying "mig23 mig23" while we were having sex...Just kidding I don't have a girlfirned. I love Mig21bis flying fast supersonic missile attacks on low flying Tigers II and then lighting the emergency burner and climbing into the sun. I would love to do this style of fighting in the Flogger. Check out this video of the Flogger acceleration through Mach 2 range! Is this real?!? 2min 22 secs into video. Surely that can't be how quickly it accelerated at that high speed

I have been flying Cold War server a lot and many time I have been jumped by a viggen and been saved because the RWR gave me a lock warning . When I say so to the viggen pilot he says he has radar off. Seems to be a problem here. Anyone else found this ? It has happened quite few time to me

I agree the bombs are the most interesting and challenging weapons for the viggen and I enjoying using them but the BMP 2 will shot you down first shot everytime. They are much more deadly than shilkas

This definitely needs a working volume control. It is way too loud now

I really enjoyed that. :) Thanks for sharing it. "The aircraft is saying, ”Do I have your attention yet? Because in a minute, I will demand all your courage, all your love of country, and a laser focus to fully utilize the forces I am about to reveal to you.”... Most pilots get out of the cockpit after a successful flight with a sheepish look on their face."

I haven't flown the FW190 for a while but if IIRC the indicator has the same degrees for up and down trim. The movable stabilizer does not move the same amount up and down though.

thanks Dingo, Ill try that

I can't install the AJS37 module. It is installed in the beta but my stable install doesn't show it in the modules store or in the installed modules sections. I tried using the updater.exe install {AJS37} command line but it just says: unknown module AJS37 Please help

I deleted the registry and started Open beta and it just opens the Mig21 activation again.

There doesn't seem to be any clear instructions for all the people who patched the Beta, broke the MIg21 and then came here looking for help. I imagine most people would not check Mig21 forum before they patch.

Wow what a mess. When I saw that dam Mig21 activation pop up yet again my left eye started to twitch and my face went red with blood. Tried to stay calm and waste more time trying to understand what the **** is going on and finally realize my DCS short cuts are mislabeled between Beta and stable...for starters. I guess I'll just learn how to delete the registry or something, which leads to a disclaimer that warns doing so may make windows not work. Great. I just wanted to escape the pain of life and fly for a hour. NO SOUP for you!

I suspect that the vortices are always there but in DCS they are visible all the time. The problem is not that they shouldn't be there all the time, but rather that they shouldn't be visible all the time . Looking closely at the canards you can see they are quite a few AoA higher than main wing... I agree it will look better when they are only visible when pulling G or high AOA.

I tried the spring stick simulator but it doesn't seem to work for DCS anymore. I remember using it for the mirage when it first came out and didn't have FFB. Has anybody got it working for the Viggen. NO FFB and broken rudder has made it impossible to enjoy flying the plane. I just been earning start up ect... I should have known this would be the case. but i wanted to believe it would just work lol

Thanks for making this thread. I stayed up till 1:30am so I could try the Viggen but it wouldn't come up on the list of modules and eventually i found the forum threads explaining it was open beta. Which I don't have installed and can't download because i pay for mb. I tried using the 3rd party UI updater but it won't work. I tried making a copy of the install and putting the beta updater in it but that won't work. I read the updater is supposed to copy from your HDD but mine just tries to download again. I accidentally deleted my main folder cause i was getting annoyed and flustered... I have got to completing downloading the beta update but when i start it is is not beta and I can't install the Viggen. Ill try this line in the shortcut target and give up and go to bed I recently got an SSD and I didn't want to download the whole 30gig again so i just copied the DCS folder from the HDD to the SSD. It worked fine since then but i wonder if that is why I am having so much trouble updating to beta now?

Where am I supposed to put that line? I can't get the dam open beta to install with out downloading 30 gig. I pay by the mb I tried copying the folder and putting the beta updater in it but that doesn't work. Stayed up till 2am to fly viggen and I just spending an hour jacking arround trying to install the dam beta without downloading it . Accidentally deleted my main folder and the 3rd party UI updater won't work either... God dam what a bummer :(

So good to see bunyap is doing his thing for Viggen :) Ill watch it now

Good to hear they have gotten rid of the Mig21 copy protection . I had major problems with it. Every second time I loaded DCS it would want to to activate a Mig 21 licence activations. I very quickly ran out of activations and I couldn't fly it until I found the thread with the solution. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=136153

What I have been asking for years is if the Mig21bis radar ground and cloud filters also lower the sensitivity for detecting aircraft? I mean, if the filter didn't lower the detection range for aircraft then the engineers would have no reason to not have it always on... But even if that is true we don't know what if modeled. I guess I could just test the radar detection range against AI with and with pout he filters and see ...

I've been flying that server everyday. Great server. I haven't noticed any difference between the two planes. I recently upgraded from 8 to 16 gig of ram and I highly recommend doing that if you are using 8 gig ram. Online multiplayer was using 9.9 gig. and 8 gig was not enough.

Not so sure this is a bug. Just different systems in different planes The mig21 does not have Fly By Wire, the Su27 does. So maybe the Mig21 is physically linked to the elevator and you can't trim the elevator without moving the stick too. This isn't a problem unless you are trimming the plane while resisting the trim at the same time. Why would you do that? Just let the stick move as you trim the plane. It may be impossible to resist the trim moving the stick in the real mig21. The su 27 is FBW so the stick is not actually connected to the surfaces. As for the Mig15 and the Sabre. The Mig has pre stall shuddering because the stick is physically connected to the tail surfaces but the sabre has hydraulics and a semi flying tail and the aerodynamic forces do not go backward to the stick. no prestall shudder. These different systems may not behave the same with trim. I still don't really see why I would trim the plane and simultaneously hold the stick still so it can't move with the trim. I just loosen my grip a little and let the stick move as I trim. I'll test this though. I love the FFb differences between the different types of planes and their different control solutions.

Just wondering what kind of stick you guys are using. I am using a MS FFB2 and the Mig15 is a hand full but in a delicious way. My stick shakes quite a lot as I am manoeuvring hard at high AOA and the ailerons stop working and the rudder roll reverses at high mach. It is a handful to fly but that's why I like it so much. Are you using a spring stick? I would suggest trying a FFB stick. There are a few planes and especially the choppers that I really didn't like the feel of when I used a spring stick , but once i got a FFB stick they feel great.

I just tried a Mig v Sabre server after a long time away from flying these birds and found the FFB hugely different in the two planes. The Mig 15 stick shakes when the plane starts shaking on the edge of stall and at high altitude and during hard maneuvers it is really a handful. I lost control at high mach and high alt. Then I tried the sabre and it had no stick shaking during hard maneuvers. I thought at first that the sabre was not FFB implemented but this thread clears that up. The difference between these two planes is what makes the match up so interesting. This FFB difference just adds to the relative flavour of each plane.
