Awesome! Thanks for the info

PM-d you

What do you mean by locking up contacts? How he responds to orders to manually lock targets or how he "bugs" them in TWS?

Well, the D flight manual states mach 2.0 for a clean bird at 36000ft and the SAC data posted above seem to agree with that. Did you use the scripted mission?

These replaced the old ones in the user files, right? I.E. if i filter skins by Reflected now, i won't get the old ones as well? Great work as always BTW!

AI pilots do a lot of silly stuff or don't do a lot of stuff they should. Unfortunately HB doesn't control AI behavior.

Those estimates are spot on with what the manuals say, at least for the configurations available. Well, it should be able to get up to mach 2 at 35000 when clean at least.

Ah, that makes sense! Glad you found the issue!

What plane? I hit mach 2.2 in the A at 36000ft with 2X2X2

Seconded!

Yep, it's been a while, though not that great a while

I don't think there are, unless someone has done some heavy moding. Most of the direct controls for radar behavior are just not available in the front seat.

Last night as i was CAP-ing over Beirut on Through the Inferno, i was fiddling with the NAV grid from the front seat, and as i was in MP, dragging the thing around from the Jester POV was not possible. Now i know a direct drag and drop from the front seat isn't quite worth the fuss, but a Jester command to center the Grid on the TID as we can center the plane or the ground already, would be a nice feature. Especially for us that like to you bullseye calls for building SA. What say you?

Strange, last night on Through the Inferno servers TWS worked all right for me. Also, i flew a few home made training missions again a MiG-31 in SP, and again, the radar worked no worse then it ever did.

Weird. I flew the F-14 last night, both in SP and MP (but not this campaign) and they worked just fine. I flew the campaign before the patch and they also worked as intended. Could it be a binding issue? The latest patch did mess up some bindings in many users, including me.

Got it. I just did some quick runs at low altitude and I'll keep testing for my own personal tactical use only, but there are some minor improvements in the areas that were most off before. All in all, it seems the transonic area is the most contentious one. The top speed for the A in 4x4 appears to be only slightly above the published figures. 10 to 15 knots or there about. Will be waiting for your posts! Keep up the great work and thanks for all the efforts!

Copy that. Best to wait for the update then

Roger that! When is the next hotfix scheduled for?

Or perhaps not enough people know about them?

Sparrows, 4 or 6 of them, and then fill the rest with Winders. Restrict the mission to a mid 80's scenario, so they can remain competitive. And prey they don't face MiG-31's....

This is probably going to sound as a cliche as i'm using it for so many of these episodes, but this has got to be the best one yet! Or at least my favorite one!

Has anyone taken the old lady through her paces above mach 0.8 down low yet? As in testing her above the peak Excess power? IS she close to the specs for 6.5, 5 and 3 at the top end?

Oh you know, with all the social networks around, the DCS community can often turn into a sewing circle

As i never used the DLC in discrete clicks but in continuous "as needed" intervals that i applied on intuitive basis, i didn't notice this change yet. It should be noted though, i've only captured 3 times since the update and had one bolter (more of a touch and go really) because my hook was up. All on the Forestall. I found the the groove dirty behavior changed though, both how she flies and how she responds to the burble.

I think i've seen Cl charts that state the wings stall at 40 degrees or so. How much of it is available? I guess it would depend how high and how fast you are. And transient alpha could always go higher as usual. BTW, do wings break now on the F-15 or are these just naughty rumors circling around?
