This has been bugging me for weeks, I can't figure it out. Hosting a multiplayer server: I have a mission which has R-27ER/ET restricted on all airfields as well as aircraft carriers. The Su-33 does not spawn with weapons on board. Integrity check is on. And yet, some players, not all, shoot ER/ETs happily, not rearming anywhere other than the carrier they took off from. I cannot explain this other than being a bug or an exploit some players found. Mission in question (note: this happened on several missions, not just this one) Tacview of players using R-27ER/ET despite being restricted running above mission (30 minute mark) Again, only Su-33s taking off from Kuznetsov seem to be affected.

C-5 afaik, I don't think it is specified anywhere.

There do seem to be some differences between AMRAAM versions, the C-5 especially which got a new motor.

They aren't "hidden". The AIM-120/7M/9 have smoke-less motors. The R-27 does not. And if you look closely you'll see that they do in fact produce smoke, it's just not very visible :) What we are missing is contrails for missiles, that's true. I've made a thread about it in the past and it got no attention from ED, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Can confirm, issue is fixed :thumbup:

The Typhoons IRST supposedly has the dynamic position of the sun, moon, and other bright stars stored and uses that data to filter out clutter. But then again, it is a few generations ahead of the D2M...

Because the missiles over performs and this is their way of limiting the range.

It's not an issue "server side". The problem is that I have to edit every mirage in every mission to make it work.

Have you ever had the pleasure of managing serves let alone multiple missions and having to keep them up to date and working? Sure doesn't sound like it, otherwise you wouldn't be talking like that.

Main problem for me isn't even that it's in the Sim but rather that it's on by default and is a pain to disable in missions. Most people that aren't actively flying the mirage will never know this has even been added and since it's on by default most servers have it enabled. The system should be off and if people really want to use it they can manually enable it, also makes it easier for server owners to disable. Merry Christmas guys! :)

Trigger set to display message when A-10 group is dead

The trigger/condition doesn't work after today's update, the instant action missions using it are also broken.

Noone is talking about balance, and if you want a simulator then mounting a system on an aircraft which it never carried is not the way to go.

I think you guys are overestimating the capabilities of RWRs. The A-10s AN/ALR-69 was not capable to distinguish between SA-8 and ZSU-23-4, even though there are surely some differences between the two (simply because one is meant to guide a missile and the other is for directing AAA).

The waveform should be pretty much the same between N019 and N019M. All changes are on the receiver/processor side.

N019M is not a slotted planar array antenna. Same as the N019, just new software and processor. The RWRs of the mirages timeframe shouldn't be able to distinguish a N019 and N001. The waveform is pretty much the same. The mirages capability to distinguish between aircraft versions is not restricted to the MiG-29. It can also be observed with the F-16 and the Su-27/33. It seems like RAZBAM just copied the airplane names into the RWR library. I would really like to see an update on this, so that a MiG-29/Su-27/33 are all displayed as "29" or "27".

When you're in search mode with the radar, not really. Obviously if you see the target being very fast he's likely to be in afterburner or supersonic, increasing his IR signature. But other than that, no. If you have him locked in STT you can press the IRST activate button ("O" iirc) which will be displayed as "EORL". In this mode the radar will transfer lock to the IRST as soon as it (the IRST) has a lock. You can do this the other way around too, with a target in IRST. Once you activate the radar it gives the system "permission" to switch to radar if IRST lock is lost. The system is designed to prefer IRST locks and not switch to radar unless commanded to do so, keep that in mind :)

Not sure if this has been posted:

The helicopter doesn't fly in all directions at the speed of sound, the doppler reading is just ambiguous. A radar designed to recognize this pattern will ignore the doppler and just work off of something else to get speed. And windmills move pretty slowly, they generate doppler noise but, again, you can blend those out with a simple filter. We can assume that the mirage radar was build with tracking helicopters in mind. But it seems to be a choice of ED to make radar missiles have difficulties tracking helicopters which applies to all radar missiles. Not necessarily accurate for specific radars but the best we can get.

The other switches control the CAS for roll and yaw, as in turning the filtering on and off iirc. But if you call simple SAS "FBW light", about every somewhat modern aircraft would have that. The "FBW-ish" feeling of the F-15 is due to the auto-trim, and that's all I ever wanted to state.

Lol, what? I never said it is only "stabilized in pitch". I have been talking about auto-trim the entire time, never "distracting" from anything. I said the auto-trim only works in the pitch-channel. You started diverting to the CAS and damping, don't turn this on me now. You could call the F-15 having a "mechanical FBW", but the Su-27 has a real FBW.

You're missing the point, does it auto-trim in all three axis? No.

I read dual channel, not three channels. And it doesn't mention any auto-trim, just damping.

Strange, I've had this problem in the F-15 and Su-27 for ages. A slow moving target will be hard to track for an older (spin-scan) IR seekers because if the LOS-rate is very slow, as it will be against a slow-helicopter, the seeker won't see much of the target as they tend to be not very sensitive for a target that is centered in the seekers FOV (the missile should fly a wobbling flight-path). For radar seekers the problem is first of all that the helicopters body itself will be in the doppler notch at low speeds. But you theoretically still have the blades to track on, in practice seekers (especially older ones) have problems with that though as the doppler returns are rapidly changing from positive to negative (some older radars, not designed for tracking helicopters, might reject such a return as doppler noise-jamming). Edit: There might also be a difference in what the host radar and the SARH seeker sees (the radar having a lot more processing power and a bigger array/higher power output). I disagree, the Super 530D is very close to the R-27ER in terms of range. If you're up against a mirage pilot that knows what he's doing you'll have a hard time.

LOL, just tell me if I'm wrong but that is what I heard...
