hI , I have noticed some unrealistic behavior of the new vapor effects.. as you can see in my picture , the Hornet is producing high G vapor at a VERY low speed when it should really be happening over 250 or 300 Knots.. Is ED planning on fixing this?

Ive noticed a problem with the wingtip vapor trails. When flying the plane airshow style and doing a high alpha pass, i have noticed the wingtip vapor deploys like a smoke winder... is ED going to fix this in the next patch? real f-18's and many other fighters don't generate wingtip vapor trails when doing airshow maneuvers like the high alpha.

Please please include an f-18 clean of the racks in this next update lol. I hate flying a demo hornet with wing polyons

First off this an awesome module and i'm very impressed with the detail and the flight model. My question is this , will you guys add a in flight damage model when the plane is pulling too many g's its realistically rated for? I hit the override switch in flight with about 3,000 pounds of fuel and manage to get the plane to pull about 15-18 G's few times. I know its not a constant pull but the wings should be snapping off the plane at that point. It would just suck to let pilots have the ability to hit that switch in combat with a full weapons load and have there planes not break like the F-15C.

Ive seen a few guys manage to remove the pylon racks from the F-18 in pictures. How can i remove them?

I was at 20,00 feet going over mach 1.3 and fired 3 R-77s at an eagle at 15 miles yet they still didn't hit him. So it really doesn't matter if your high or low , they don't track correctly. Once in a blue moon one may score a hit but in real life i know the R-77 is MUCH better than what ED has it. Its almost like they don't want red side having anything good.

ED, There is a really big issue with the R-77's.. For one they Feel VERY draggy and they will NOT track an F-15 Even at 10km.. Meaning even if you get with in WVR range and fire an R-77 , The missile simply will not track and bleed there energy Extremely Way too fast. Only thing we can do is use them to make F-15s go Defensive but thats about it. Can you Guys please Fix the R-77's Flight model and make its tracking system better? because there Very Useless and its making guys on the Red Side VERY frustrated.

First off 2.5 is AMAZING! But one thing that was a bit of a disappointment was the F-15. I took off with two full wing tanks to see if the plane had been given a new Damage model and notice i was still able to pull 9 to 11g with wing tanks on the F-15 but nothing happens to the plane. I find it funny how Every other plane In DCS (besides the mig-29) all have damage models but the eagle doesn't. What i wanted to ask was , Is the F-15 going to get a damage model from over stressed flight like every other mod since we are in 2.5?

I know in 1.5 this may not be addressed at this time but are they going to fix the spotting with missles , shutes and airplanes? There were times where i seen a dot but couldn't tell what it was until closer. Same with missles , i sometimes think there are 2 planes the big dot is actually a missle. Any word on this?

https://youtu.be/X3tWj55aqL0 With tanks and still able to do aggressive pitches , Slow high alpha passes , over G turns ect... This is the last of my post on regarding the F-15. ED Fix this toy plane :lol:

Well Sorry on my behalf. I did not take the time to view your profile and probably wont anyway. My main message is to ED and that they need to fix this planes flight model.

TRUST ME i know i wont win with you eagle fan boys but F-15s is no way should be performing like this at lower altitudes and slower speeds. They way the f-15 is designed theirs just no way. UP HIGH is where its best maneuverability should be not LOW and SLOW. Its needs a fix.

I am also posting another video with wing tanks , AGIAN i can still attempt a slow speed low altitude high alpha pass and the pitch rates are still similar to that of an F-18 or F-16. I also manage to pull more than 9g with the tanks on , Plane doesn't even break or anything... Lol so agian i can see why many of you eagle fanboys don't want this plane to change. I would love to see how you guys fight if they ever created a damage model when over stressing the air frame too many times... FOX 3!! with a split S and bam!! a wing snaps off:megalol:

LMAO an F-15E strike eagle.. Much more heaver , less of a Thrust to weight.. Those turns weren't even the same as i was doing with the F-15C , i would love to see an F-15E attemp such maneuvers and a low altitude high alpha pass like i did with the F-15C.. in my video, The plane would probably just fall out of the sky.

Yeah... A room full of eagle fanboys , I already knew ALOT would disagree. I know you guys want your precious F-15 to stay the way it is because you can easily get kills and easily out maneuver misses when your plane is literally unbreakable.

Dude F-15s were stationed out of Elmendorf AFB for years and every single airshow i went to were the f-15 performed NOT ONCE has it ever attempted to demonstrate a high alpha or a pitch up rate like an f-18 NOT ONCE... lol "Clearly explains that ED had actual F-15C pilots make some recommendations, some of which were rather ironically about the high-AOA behaviour" Clearly F-15 pilots are not going to tell you exactly how the thing flys and those AOA rates are probably done for a few seconds not like in the video i showed you. Remeber all the maneuvering i did were at low speeds and low altitude , I take it as you and your Eagle fan boys agree that the F-15 should be maneuvering like an F-18/F-16 at lower alt , total Bullshit.

I have shot down plenty of f-15s with the R-27ER/ET. Same in my mirage 2000c But sadly most F-15 pilots use the spamraams and not much of the aim-7s.. Im going to asume your afraid or not a good enough pilot to fly with only fox 1's?? IDK Props to the guys who stick with aim-7s though. Bottom line a clean and light su-27 at lower altitude should be able to get his not around MUCH quicker than the f-15 should.

Notice how in the video all those moves are done at higher altitudes where the f-15 excells at. All the moves i did were at low altitude were the f-15 should struggle in slow speed maneuverability.. But go ahead and keep believing the f-15 is a slow speed turning fighter like the su and mig's... The flight model is unrealistic for sure though.

"For what it's worth the DCS F-15C flight model has been signed off by actual Eagle pilots" I call that bullshit. But as i knew abunch of F-15 Fanboys saying this is exactly how the real thing flys.. LOL you guys just want it easy thats why pilots who flew the su's are much better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hafEtqTSqNg&feature=youtu.be I know many Eagle pilots will disagree with my opinion but this is not how an F-15 should be handling at slow speeds based on its design... I have NEVER seen an F-15 pull off 30 degrees nose up at slow speed and low altitude. Hopefully ED will fix this issue. In no way an F-15 at low altitude should be out maneuvering and out turning a clean SU-27....

ED you guys seriously need to fix this planes flight model. In the aerobatic server i have seen an f-15 do 30 degree of AOA in a high alpha.. Also in 104th server I have seen F-15s Pulling these quick tight turns at slow airspeeds even with wing tanks. Lastly A buddy of mines was able to perform a cobra in the F-15... Since when did the F-15 fly like a F-18/F-16/Su-27?? I mean this damn plane is doing tighter turns than an su-27 like for real? Its like you guys want the red side to suffer and blue side to have an easier fight :mad::mad: Get your together ED.

Its not , they only changes they made was adding the cobra maneuver , Faster fuel burn and slower wing fold Ect. If you use the rudder the plane still yaws flat when doing this in the su-27 she will start to roll when you yaw. Hopefully in these next few weeks , we will have a PFM.

I stumbled across some interesting facts on the Su-33 today. I read it can carry 8 R-77's so why doesn't this plane have that ability in the new PFM?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_Su-33 http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=196

I just bought the plane today hoping to have some fun in muilti player but i cant get into the communications to select my weapons.. nothing pops up when i select they keys. Ive tried to change my keys to R Alt ect but nothing seems to be working. im very frustrated and would like to know if there is anyting im doing wrong? please help.
