Yeah, that's probably it. I'll take her for a spin on Monday, see if it helps to be more gentle. I sadly tend to fly her like I fly the Su-25...

Fairly new to the F-86F, so this is perhaps something with an obvious solution. Maybe it's something I'm overlooking, but I'm having some problems with my F-86F. Every time I get within .5 NM of any jet, the F-86F shudders and drops like a rock. Doesn't matter if I've got a 90 degree deflection or right up his tailpipe, and whatever my airspeed or how the aircraft is angled. Get that close, I get a loud, rushing sound, and the aircraft drops. Highly annoying when I have a perfect shot at a MiG. It happens sooner (i.e at a greater distance) when I'm on his tail, but it still happens when I have a different angle. The only time I don't get this is when I am coming down from above and ahead, but that isn't always an option. What am I overlooking? It can't be jet wash (or at least that can't be the only issue), as I get this whatever the angle.

Cheers everyone, that helped a lot.

Still can't seem to make it work, but I'll fiddle a bit more. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

That explains it then. I placed them all as single units. Thank you, I'll attend to the issue at once. Still, I have 1 radar and 4 launchers. It seems I can only arrange them as 2 groups, 1 radar group and 1 launcher group. Will it still work?

I'm tampering with a little mission for some SEAD practice for up to 4 players (the extent of my local area player DCS player group), and I've noticed that no matter what I do, the SAM sites I put out on the map fail to fire on player aircraft. They ping me on the radar, but even at low-level fly-by they do not launch. The batteries are all the same: 1 Kub STR 9S91 and 4 Kub KN 2P25. What am I doing wrong?

And now the game won't launch. What now?

Thank you, I'll try that.

So I discovered that there is an F-4E mod available, and grabbed it at once. But now I find that it's only there for Israel, and not as a playable aircraft. I assume I have gotten an ID10T error somewhere along the way, and now I wonder if anyone can help me? I've gotten the files down, they're currently nestling (after some cut and paste) in my DL folder, away from any DCS stuff. What do I do now? What goes where? What do I do? Running DCS off of Steam, if that has any impact or bearing on the conversation. Thank you for your time.
