Do JDAMS have their own alignment which is independent from the aircraft INS? Sothat a plane with a poorly aligned INS but with the correct target coordinates can still hit the target? If the plane determines the arget coordinates with a poorly alignment state, of course the coordingates are not correct and the JDAM will miss.

But a boat also has no clue if the water is moving or not, unless the boat has a GPS to measure "ground speed". Of course a boat and a plane need to correct their flight path to keep their course relative to the ground, but that does not mean a plane or boat is receiving side-forces all the time...they dont

landing begins as the tires touch the ground as the plane stops its movements with sidewinds, which creates side wind forces. Takeoff ends when sidewind forces are negligible. This point is reached, when the plane has no relative movement to the wind anymore, except its forward airspeed. Therefore only changes in wind direction and wind speed, locally or temporally, should have an influence on the flight model and cause shaking and loss or gain in altitute and airspeed. The reason is simply acceleration of the plane due to wind changes, as the plane inertia cannot react to wind changes as quickly as the wind itself. This can be significant, f.e. when you take off with high vertical speed through a windfield with increasing wind speed with altitude, which is a common setting in DCS (pg blueflag server is a good example: wind kicks in about 16k ft and reaches almost 60knots in about 25k ft). In a stable non-accelerated windfield a plane should not fly differently. Only ground speed and ground heading should be affected.

I see, that in the lower two pictures you pull 1.1G in DCS while the RL plane flies stable 1G. It may not be much, but as soon as you pull G, you also increase AoA. That may affect your comparison. Best Regards

When you Set the AIM 9 into bore Mode it should keep it even after switching Back to AIM 120. So I suggest to put your AIM 9x into bore when preparing to fence in as Long as the Cursor enable Button is Not implemented...

Im upvoting this, as i can confirm the SALT to drift downwards. Does this Bug influence ccrp bombing?

Interesting: watch Wags Video about Dataling. He has some Contacts on Datalink plus SAM locations and his video is silk smooth although having the HSD page on... He is therefore not having that issue

Can confirm. Datalink contacts on FCR seem to not affect FPS. Does it also occur when no SAMs are on the map?

What are the consequences when flying Air-2-Ground with a not fully aligned INS?

It is far away from finished, but in its actual state it is already a blast to fly!!! Id say it is worth every penny right now! -very good radar, although it still has some EA bugs (loose lock when jettison, no SAM-mode stabilization) -Mode 4 IFF interrogation feels great although it still is a simplified placeholder -Awesome handling when you got used to the stiffness at early joystick inputs -Killer acceleration! I hope its not OP and what i heard so far is its not! Performance without fuel tanks or AG-stores is pretty on point to RL-performance AFAIK. Stores drag is still WP but you get used to it....dont expect to fly like a pure AA-Viper after you pickled all your bombs atm....but you may expect it soon ;) -AG-capabilities are already decent enough to have fun: LGB with TGP, including buddy lasing and 12xMk82 carpet bombing are my most favourite atm..... They may be more points pro viper, but id say the ones above are already enough to buy it ;)

it should be clarified, that the brakes are not too weak when they can block the tires.....

Anti-skid may still be WIP, as it is not present atm. You have already stated this. Locked tires need a longer way to stop your plane. And i assume that friction of blocked tires may be a bit faulty in DCS....it is very hard to calculate and ED may not have info about the friction coefficent of locking f16 tires....why should there be data about this anywhere^^.... Good point about the airbrakes override...i will try that ASAP

Isn't it strange that the FOV is presented as "experienced 20° more than with the vive"? quote: Optimized eye relief adjustment allows a typical user experience 20º more than the HTC Vive....so how do you know about the 130° FOV? Could be smaller and just marketing IMO...

alright ED, you got me...veeeery funny. Now please close this threat...

Flying the Mig-29S© and was very much surprised by these textures in the attached image. Did i miss something? something broken at my DCS or known bug?

how often are the new statistics refreshed? Beeing able to see when and where units are deployed (SAM, EWR) by any player may be used to locate enemy assets on the map.

Track-file or Video, or it didnt happen!

That may be correct, but HARMs are detected and have equal size to AA missiles

The AGM-88 harm is visible on aa radar like russian sead missiles. Aim120s and R27 are not visible. of course RCS of missiles is smaller than RCS of planes and so kn, but R-27 ER has nearly the same size as the HARM. So some Things about missile-radar-interactions should be tweaked IMO...

wags posted that video on 00:03 am monday night...therefore i assume it was made last week. and next week of last week is....

if you cannot wait till release you can check that with AI hornets (not lot 20) which can be equiped with and use the harm already

i mean setting a constant amplifier for the rotational axis in trackir.

from my use of the su-27 hmcs i advise you to not use any curves but amplified linear head movement. its easier to get used it than using any curves. but thats just my personal experience.

are you recording a timelaps of the gadget-maps? would be interessting to see a video of based beeing taken and retaken.
