In that case I think you should revise the MiG-19P manual. Page 2 Introduction & Credits xD Anyways... good to hear that the FM fixes is in progress, that's really what we need to hear. Looking forward to a future update

Last I heard, the MiG-23 development was put on hold so Razbam could focus on completing the Mirage and Harrier. It feels like the communication is a bit fragmented between ED forums, Discord and FB.

A functioning B61 might be the only thing that could convince me into getting the F-15E.

A full fidelity clickable MiG-29A is planned. Sorry to hear your dissapointment. I find the FC3 package entertaining and a good complement to the more advanced modules.

Any news on this? The strange AoA behaviour has been bumped several times on Hoggit and other places.

This really needs to get adressed, among a couple of other issues on the F-5E. Do we really have to wait for a DLC to get some attention on this module?

some1, thanks for taking time to report this! One of the most important systems on the F-86F not working correctly for years. Would anyone tolerate incorrect ACM modes on Hornet or Viper? On a gunfighter platform such as the Sabre it is extremely important that the sight works as advertised. It drives me totally nuts that issues like this are left unresolved when there are lots of time over to create new WWII propellers and other stuff. ED PLEASE FIX, WE HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH

In cockpit, you have a radar range knob to the left of your gunsight. Either you turn it down manually by rotating it, or you bind that function to your HOTAS/Joystick. I generally turn it down to at least half. It is also very handy to have the electrical caging button bound.

It's ok not to like Fri13 or his opinions. But it's users like him who help Razbam improve their modules by pointing out errors and reporting found bugs. You get a better DCS experience because of the time he is putting into this. So... understandably he gets a bit triggered when someone in a post casually mentions that "the worst bugs were resolved a loooong time ago", when the reporting section on the forums say otherwise.

It's quite funny how 80% of all Razbam threads turn into a bug discussion and the remaining 20% is a new module announcement of some sorts.

It seems like the South Atlantic Map (Falklands) is far along, but no news on the Sea Harrier FRS.1?

+1 NineLine's last response is from October last year...

It does not work as intended. Bullets should impact at pipper location. This was also confirmed on the forums by a former F-100 pilot, who has used the same sight.

This is an ongoing issue with ”Special Options” and multiplayer. It might work if your friend has the module and enable the same options as you. Hopefully it will get fixed and resolved. Read more about it in this thread:

So how will this MiG-29 fare against the more modern NATO jets? I think a lot of players are going about this the wrong way. Fighter vs Fighter, there is no contest and it is silly to think that a bolted on ECM pod or R-77 will change that. So what are the solution for having fun in a modern scenario? You keep the jet as realistic as you can and balance the mission instead. Give the older Redfor fighters tactical advantage. Better SAM coverage! Better GCI! more bases etc. There are ways to get interesting missions without trying to min-maxing every jet.

Is this a borderline troll-topic? I mean... if you cannot switch to Win10 without buying new hardware, how can you run DCS? It is one of the most demanding titles out there. If Win10 is so demanding that your current hardware cannot handle it, keeping at 2.5.6 sounds like the only real option.

It won’t happen for a number of reasons. The old R60 is made by third party Magnitude 3 and is not ED’s own missile. They have to take ownership of the missile and bring it into the rest of their inhouse made weapons. Another issue is that the FC3 jets are coded a bit differently, they have to code a different rear aspect only lock-on envelope into the jet just for the old R60. So it is a lot more work than you think for a missile that was phased out in the early 1980s.

Windows 7? They had to cut support sooner or later. If you MUST cling to this old OS you can still run DCS 2.5.6 or install Win10 on a secondary drive / dual boot and make it dedicated to DCS. I would not step away from DCS + 500$ worth of modules in favour for using an old and unsupported operating system. It makes no sense. Win10 is not perfect, but hardware and software is constantly moving forward with or without you.

For sling loading and transport operations? Yes. But for attack missions and CAS? I'd say it is quite hard against any type of vehicle that shoots back... and against infantry we are facing a different issue without any real spash damage, AI fear (running for cover etc.) The Hind will face the same type of issues and two BTR-80's will turn the helicopter into swiss cheese when making a strafing pass. The Mi-24P will still be a fine module, I have no doubt about that. But it won't shine in the attack role unless the missions are carefully tailored around it.

That is why I expect that the S-24 rockets will be a popular option. Warhead is large enough to do some real damage. But the problem is still to engage without getting hit. DCS vehicle AI has very good reaction times and will fire everything from 7.62mm to guided missiles on the approaching helicopter. Sneaking around like the Ka-50 will not be so viable as the Mi-24P is larger, doesent hover as good and the short missile range will make those very dangerous to employ at a stand still.

One tip I can share. I make sure to flip up the FLARE JETTISON cover and have the jettison switch binded to my hotas. When the IR missile is coming your way, you close the throttle - manouver and dump every flare in one go. It is not the perfect solution, but against modern IR missiles you will only get one chance (if that). No need to conserve them, worry about flare count later. Flying with max flares and 0 chaff should get you a pretty good defence when you jettison in close. A cloud of heat. Tried and tested many times on the Just Dogfight multiplayer server, it really helps surviving the merge.

It's going to be interesting finding out how well Mi-24P fits within the DCS environment. I have flown Ka-50 with only rockets and 30mm cannon boresighted... A very low threat environment might be survivable, but it will take a lot of skill and luck to employ correctly without getting shot down.

Thank you Hiromachi Im sure a lot of work has been put into creating these options so It would be nice to finally be able to fully utilize them in both SP and Multiplayer.

I play a lot of multiplayer and the local Special Options settings does not have any effect when playing online. So, Magnitude 3, could you please integrate the following items fully into the MiG-21bis module? Realistic ASP IR A-A Missile Reticle Drives me nuts every time it does not work realistic but the box is checked. Why is this optional? Default is also set to off. SPECIAL FEATURES (the more realistic and useful RWR functionality) Whitout this we are stuck with the old RWR logic. Knowing what direction you are locked from is extremely important when trying to avoid a threat. The initial test were successful, so this should have been integrated by now. Also drives me completely nuts when it is not working but the box is checked in the Special Options tab. I know you have a lot on your plate and are not the fastest dev team (listened to your interview ) But please, look into integrating this stuff into the module. Or at the very least find a way so our Special Options settings work no matter if we play SP or MP.
