    Turn performance

    Actually the initial roll rate of a flanker is 180deg/s however that number increases to about 270 IIRC after a couple of rolls. Not that this is useful anyway:lol:

    Turn performance

    According to the manual at 5,000 feet the aircraft has a 14.37 deg/s sustained turn rate and an instantaneous turn rate of 25.06 deg/s , while the Su-27 has a sustained turn rate of around 21 deg/s and an instantaneous rate of about 28 deg/s. The Mirage has however a superior roll rate. While dog fighting the AI and my pals I've found it easier to take down a Flanker in a Mirage than it is with another Flanker. Are the FBW and roll rate that helpful?
  3. When pulling the stick back with the FBW on, the plane only reaches 9gs for a second and then hovers around the 8.5g mark. Is the Su-27 limited to 8.5g?
  4. It seems like tunnel vision begins at around 7.5g and increases at the G-load and only stops when going down to 6g continuing to hold the pull kills your situational awareness and puts you at the risk of G-loc if you do not drop your speed(which means your toast). In the new mirage tunnel vision begins at around 8.5g and returns to normal at 7. It is almost impossible to win the sustained turn fight without lucky snapshots.
  5. According to the latest change log the countermeasure immunity of the IR missiles has been increased. Even though the aim-9 and the r-73 have the same value, the dev is seeing the dependence is non-linear. Can't wait to for the update to come out:D Edit: Wrote the opposite of what I meant lol
  6. I would like to fly the Mig-21. Honestly I want to know what Syrian pilots went through when they use to fly over Lebanon in the civil war lol
  7. 30 deg aoa in turns? Can you please post a track of this. I could not replicate that.
  8. Does DCS 1.5 have integrity check enabled? If not is there an alternative coming up?
  9. Can you explain why please?
  10. Probably in BVR mode while the launch is overriden , the sensor FOV is apparently much wider
  11. I am writing this post to sort of compile the tricks Su-27 pilots have found. Feel free to add more. - Holding the wheel brake key W disengages the G-limiter - Pressing S while going at high speeds allows you to pull a 20g+ turn - While in funnel mode a target can still be locked - If the target is 60 deg off your nose you can still shoot an r-73 and it will track if you override the launch (lalt w) -Holding the fire button while in autopilot will allow you to adjust altitude -If forward trimmed and you pull the stick back will the G-limiter disengaged the stick will not pull back completely, you need to reset trim
  12. First impressions only: It feels like when the flare is out of the seeker's FOV it doesn't lose the lock. But I need to test it more.
  13. Seems like its still the same after the last update. I also played Ragnarok's track and all the missiles missed again.
  14. After the last couple of hot fixes when engaging afterburner the RPM jumps to 100% regardless of temperature conditions. However when not in afterburner the RPM varies with the outside temperature conditions. Is this realistic behavior? (I.e the engine being forced into 100% RPM in afterburner)
  15. Is it possible to have an arabic username in multiplayer? All I see are blocks when entering arabic letters. It works for russian though :(
  16. Are flanker drivers in the tournament allowed to switch ACS off?
  17. Can anyone dump fuel in the Su-27? When pressing and holding R nothing happens.
  18. Is there actual proof that the SU-27 does not auto-lock targets in vertical scan mode like F-15? Makes it a pain when losing sight of the bandit to keep spamming lock.
  19. I was flying in multiplayer and after avoiding one of an F-15's amraams a missile launch warning is heard but no missile is launched, the F-15 wasn't using an AIM-7. Has the realistic behavior of switching to FLOOD finally been implemented ?
  20. It's been this way ever since the pfm update. It's more realistic, the Su-27 doesn't have a switch to turn on both engines at the same time AFAIK.
  21. Here is the track, this happens always. Whether the fuel was set to 100% at the beginning of the mission, or after refueling. The Su-27 has no in air refueling. fuel bug.trk
  22. As of the last hotfix, the Su-27's right fuel gauge does not fill up
  23. When engaging afterburner the RPM gauge jumps to 100% regardless of temperature conditions. The jump feels like a binary thing, wherever the needle was once afterburner is on it jumps to 100%
  24. As of the latest hotfix the Su-27's fuel gauge never gets completely full.
  25. As of the latest hotfix moving to afterburner causes the RPM to instantly jump to 100% regardless of temperature conditions.
