Then I can start Play WAR THUNDER, Pilotasso are you joining in:)

Network code, EOS, TWS, Missile, and the rest of the bugs have been around since FC3 release. I believed it would get better in FC3, Now we are all waiting for EDGE. I just hope that ED can dig them self out of this deep hole of WIP, because we can not enjoy the simulator. It is not right to tell enthusiasts that it will get better in the next product we get. And trust me If EDGE will have same problems or as many as FC3, I will start to play WAR THUNDER:). FC3 have given those who run servers more troubles than actual enjoyment. Im sorry to be that negative, But this is not about EOS,TWS, Missiles that are in WIP, Its about that the game is broken. I feel sad to say this because I really enjoy this simulator and have been doing it for years. And if enthusiast as me are about to lose their patience about WIP everywhere what about all steam users that we have lost because of all this disconnect nonsense.

If Air to Air missile change accordingly to Chiz suggestions, where ER-27 reach the target from 25km 2,5 seconds faster then AIM-120C I have nothing to complain about. Me and Frostie tested AIM-120C against ER-27 in this new conditions, where Aim-120C had around 30% better hit ratio against heavy chaff and a beaming bandit at 45°. That is acceptable if you ask me. Anything more than 30% at beaming 45° will make the multiplayer environment not represent realistic reactions by pilots.

Will it not be implemented in DCS F-18C? I would not mind helmet mode on F-18C.

YES, between AIM-120A/B. Aim-120C should fight R-77. Basicly it is not realistic to me because Aim-120C would face updated versions of aircrafts as Su-30 and so on. I know that Russians had only couple of squads of this new modified aircrafts in 1992 but that is what you would get if you fight squad against squad.

GG, MIG-21s missiles are are 40 years older then F-18s not 10, So the difference would not be minimal :)

The question is by how much Aim-120C is more resistant to chaff compared to ER-27? Since that is not known it would be reasonable to make minimum differences in that part of the simulator. As you are saying there is plenty of other systems that could make the difference. Meanwhile we are waiting for DCS F-18 and Su-27S, When it concerns tracking ED need to draw average line between this systems we don't have.

You have no documentation to put up on the table, so claiming that it is better against chaff and maneuvering targets is something you and I can guise. The platform that use Aim-120 against ER-27 get already the edge since AIM-120 is active. Putting in our own bias speculations by how much etch missile should track better compared to another is pointless. Therefore I believe the best approach is to make the chaff/flare resistance to minimum differences. There are other parameters that makes the missiles behave different compared to each other, it doesn't have to be in tracking. Its like us starting to argue witch seeker is more sensitive to flares, AIM-9 or R-73. Until we can see documents or videos as prove, I will have my bias approach and you yours. Therefore it is better to model as little difference in how missiles react to chaff or flares. Because the only thing we can say is that it is a newer missile, which doesn't prove anything. You can still believe that only Aim-120 had software upgrades not ER-27 along all this years, especially when ER-27 has been transferred to newer generation of fighters. Russians are still learning how to advertise their products, they are by far not as efficient as US companies.

There is only Russians and Americans that can send people to space by their own technology. At the moment, Americans are using Russian rocket boosters to get to space, Not because they can not make them by them self but because it is cheaper at the moment. Russians are first to offer space tourism, as they were the first in space, I see nothing wrong with that. Same for those who have been dreaming of flying a fast jet. Its not like Russians are selling chemical weapons or nuclear weapons to anyone who desire it. In the end Russians had to do what they could from 1992 to save what was left.

Im sure there is countermeasures against it,top secret thou. Smoke can do the trick well, cheaper than laser that need a tracking device tracking the incoming missile.

Anyone do ANYTHING for the right amount of money, not only Russians. If we see F-15s on MAKS airshows I would not be surprised that Su-27s and Mig-29s attending on American air shows frequently. Ukrainians sold a Su-27 to American company so some of you might even see Su-27 with US markings on it ;)

Welcome SnowTiger, I remember I had same feelings when I started to Fly this simulator some years ago.

Show F-15 Fanboys who is the boss.

This is how it will feel when 51st will transfer to Nevada.

Multiplayer Dynamic campaign is what we need. A great start would be if we had a option to save the mission where it ended. The biggest time killer when running a dynamic campaign in DCS is to replace the units at their new positions and delete killed units.

Does the Su-27 have similar file where we could bring up the shining a bit? Im working on a skin at the moment and would like to bring up the shining slightly.

I hope some will start to work on 3d party terrains, because Some of us don't want to get stuck in Nevada for as long time as we been in Georgia. I find nevada not the optimal area for a flight sim. I guess it all happened when A-10C was developed and now we will have to get transferred there against our will. 3d party developers Im sure there is a lot of cash to make on terrain for modern combat..

No I have not, I got the file from Volk.

This test is made from ~25km at ALT of 5000m. I will post similar test on ALT 7500 and 10000m. Give me feedback if you would like the test to be done in a different way. ER-27_AIM-120C_5000m.rar

Like Rage said which I agree whit. Jammers don't serve that great purpose as they did before because the burn thru occurs at ranges where hitting a target is less than 5%.
