I am not sure if i am right, but the drag on the MiG-21 seems over exaggerated, this could be realistic but in a 4 missile and a fuel tank loadout i can hardly break 800kpm in a straight line, that is on full mil power just before the burner. also when i am on final the airplane rocks like b*tch for example; to the left and then i ty to compensate and it starts to roll to the right as if i had 2 missiles on outer pylons. Please someone confirm if you are having similar issues or if it's my setup.

Thank you Fishbreath and Renhanxue, what i was afraid of is the use of INS guided weapons such as RBS-15, BK-90, without preflight procedures, specifically on multiplayer PVP servers mission editors would have to edit every single mission to realize the viggen's potential, however if the radar can be used to mark a point of interest for INS guided weapons I think there isn't need for preflight data input, unless of course it's a target somewhere in the area that will be difficult to spot using the radar.

I am sorry if i am asking stupid questions, so if you lock onto a target using your radar your INS is automatically focused on it as well? So for example if i lock onto a tank with a radar i can drop a BK90 and it will guide onto it?

Clearly you are not capable of thinking outside the box and not getting tunnel visioned on one thing. Clearly MiG-21-93 radar had nothing to do with the Su-27 that is obvious, but the mirage radar has nothing to do with the F-15, no aircraft has the same radar and I assure you that most of the radar's in DCS are modifications of the other ones, perhaps when F-18 come out they will make it special, but I am pretty sure it will be a "COPY PASTE" of an F-15 radar with a few modifications., radar is just a bunch of scripts in the game files that allow you to do what they do. You need to realize that this game is not real life. And if I have "no idea on what I am talking about" then please explain, because trust me I very well know my Russian and western aircraft I spend my free time reading manuals and other information. I see no point argueing with a non open minded person, it's just no fun for me. This is all off topic. if you come in to a forum thread just trying to prove people wrong and post zero information about the thread's topic; you should really consider a different hobby.

100% agree

by me saying copy paste I don't mean just leave it as it is, ofcourse different tuning needs to be done and A2G and A2A radars meanwhile are universal irl in DCS A2G radar is a separate feature from the A2A one put into one thing, from what I see the Mirage 2000c radar is basicly a modified F-15 radar (in game) with 160mile range which isn't even a thing in real life. but that's aside the point, and the sensory/systems of the Russian airforce are no special secret thing, it doesn't dramatically outperform that of the western counterpart in fact it is worse in many ways, what I meant by the armament is that the systems that are used to put the weaponry of the su-27sm to use has been used in the 80s and we are getting aircraft that are modified or developed in the 90s such as the F-14 from the 90s, F/A-18c with weapons from the 2000 aswell as a eurofighter typhoon with the Euroradar CAPTOR-E which is an extreme modern radar. The only reason how we can get those 4+ and 4 gen aircraft in the game is because the British Army is open to share most information about the Eurofighter with VEAO and so is the US Army open to share details, the thing is that the Russian army on the other side said no to ED, to get any bit of info and to even include the aircraft in the game.

All of those politically secluded countries are paranoid about sharing, a real shame would love to have an Su-27sm or the J-8iim but perhaps the MiG-21-93 from India would be more accessible and I am sure it would compete more or less with the F-18, since it gets the r-77, r-27, etc; and would be pretty easy we have the MiG-21 model all we need is su-27 radar copy and paste to an MFD and an MFD modeled on the cockpit and few adjustments to the cockpit perhaps one year of development would be enough. seems like an easy money maker surprised LN doesn't have plans to develop one.

Won't everyone just scan at 12 degrees then? I mean it's a larger altitude range? am i misunderstanding this?

Yeah, what you said does sound great, I never knew they could "copyright" a warplane but I think we should get the SM either way maybe by a 3rd party developer, it is basicly a russian F/A-18 or F-15E if i may. And this isn't meant to be a "wishlist" it's what we (community) think is comparable to that of the western aircraft we are getting in DCS. :thumbup:

yes the 29k would be awesome, and I think it's a must, but the su-35 is a further development of an su-27sm and ED wasn't even able to get info on that aircraft :(

This isn't a request thread or anything. I just wondered what you guys think would be a great competitor to American/European aircraft? Let's be honest with ourselves. Most likely when DCS: F/A-18, F-14, AJS-37, Eurofighter Typhoon, and many more are released the use of the FC3 aircraft will decrease and we will have Western VS. Western, that is not as much fun as Western vs. Russian. So I want to hear your opinions on what Russian aircraft should be introduced to the game. My choice would be an Su-27SM but since ED has said that it is going to be impossible- because of all classified information even though I see nothing special about it's armament- then perhaps a MiG-31 and MiG-27 to fill in the ground attack role, that would be my choice. How about you?

this MFFB2 stick looks awesome I didn't know they had those. Is it compatible with win 10? and how reliable is it?

The F-14b/d could super cruise, but what configuration under, I don't really know.

So as far as I understand the setting on the radar that makes the scan line go off the radar screen is 120 degrees total? I don't know if you understand what I mean by that.

Thanks to both of you for very quick replies!

I was looking in the controls of the radar to put them on my Hotas I got my TDC slew, radar range but wasn't able to find azimuth. Is there an option to change the altitude scan in the Mirage at all or is it WIP?

So I was playing on the 104th just messing around in a mirage ground attacking, and I wanted to stay on perfect 26000 so I punched that in on my assigned altitude hold autopilot and turned it on, I was maybe 26100~ when I turned it on and it started to shake up and down violently any tips on how to use that autopilot?

The question is why isn't this out yet? this is basicly an f/a-18 on steroids. We need this. whoever manages to introduce this first is going to be very very rich.

seems as if there is a big news update coming out in March. I want information!!!!!!

F-4 is truly a great aircraft, but F-14 is a greater one, not to offend anyone. So, I think we should wait for Leatherneck to release the F-14 and then start making future plans. it's like showing your dog a treat but giving it to him the next day. What I mean is we are rushing.

Wow, if we actually get the Viggen, F-14, F-18c this year, this would be the best year in the history of DCS. Man I need to start saving up some money!!!!

It's client sided, you are not affecting other people's missile effects only your own, so until other people do the fix they won't see your missile. I don't know if you are catching on to what I'm saying, but I tried.

They don't have su-25 flight model the only thing that is the same is the cockpit :smilewink:
